If you are reading this article right now, the odds are that you are considering having someone else handle your social media marketing campaign. Maybe you are just too busy to dedicate any time to it. Perhaps you just don’t have the time to learn the “ins and outs” of social media. It could even be that you have been trying, but getting nowhere with your campaign. You need an expert opinion!

Sound familiar?

You are not alone. A recent poll done by Social Media Examiner found that 92% of marketers said that social media was important to their business. That is a huge number, especially considering the amount of people who just don’t have the time, resources, and know-how to really gain the benefits of a strategic social media marketing campaign.

If you have ample time, budget and are extremely experienced in how social media marketing works, then I say “Do it yourself!” There is no reason to outsource if you are successful and able to harness the power in-house.

But this scenario is unforunately the minority – especially when it comes to mid-sized and smaller companies who are either struggling to grow or are growing at a lightning fast pace. Both of these type of organizations need a helping hand, and outsourcing can do just that.

Previously I have written about the best practices to choosing the right social media marketing firm to handle your account – but this time I want to share some of the MOST common areas where companies need outsourcing the most and how my social media firm, The Go! Agency handles these concerns:
