How often do you make use of the social media?

This was a challenge when I was starting my freelancing career as I struggled to fix it between understanding what my work entails and how often I should be on social media. 

Back then, I used to spend more than 8 hours daily on social media platforms such as Facebook chatting with friends as well as commenting on posts. However, the hours I spend on has reduced. 

I now spend less time on social media because of my work. How often do you visit social media sites?

Well considering that I have a mobile device like most people, I use it often. To promote my brand, the site and stuff. I think any good business owner has to use it as often as possible. To promote.

That[s exactly what people who have business doing no a days. The advantage of having social media. It easier to promote your business. Just one click and you already have advertise your business. It's very advantageous to business owners because some don't need tarpaulins for their business to be known especially that most people are using social media.

That's right. Social media is useful and beneficial. I use my social media everyday to check my loved ones from afar and also to fetch some informations. However, there are times that I seldom use it because I have been busy in other stuff.

Me too. Basically, my social media interaction is to keep in touch with my loved ones. Eventually, I use it to get info on daily news and events, but in my regular basics, I just use them for personal purposes. When it comes to business, I have different social media accounts, and they're handled by schedule.

Well, I also used to spend a lot of my time on Social Media when I was in college. However, I still do spend some time everyday on Social Media basically to remain in touch with my friends and family. I tend to use Whatsapp more than Facebook or Twitter these days. With your online and offline work, it is sometimes difficult to spare time to remain active on Social Media.

Most students that I know are not really addicted to social media but they are often into it because they say that it is their diversion to relax their mind from the hectic studies of the lesson. When a student would spend most of his time in social media then that is tantamount to neglecting his duties because it is also needed to spend more time in the studies than in social media.

I spend a lot on my social media like everyday. Before going to sleep and and when I wake early in the morning, I always chck my social media. i don't it's like habit of me already always checking my phone.

I also check my social media accounts regularly as it is my main communication with my friends and family. When I wake up and every time I am going to sleep, I usually check my phone for updates and important messages. I can say it is already a part of my daily routine.

I do that too. Since it's just one click away from our online freelancing jobs, it's easy to visit our social media accounts. Also when I wake up first thing in the morning, I never failed to check what's happening online.

When I was not working yet as a freelancer most of the time I am spending much time on social media site because I find them to be addictive and really enjoying. But when the time comes that I have started working online, the time I spent on social media sites had been drastically reduced because I am now prioritizing my online jobs that the use of social media sites which is really great since it helps me to focus and earn more on my freelancing activities.

Very often! I rely on social media a lot to connect with my friends and family, and also for my correspondence with my classmates in the uni for our groupworks. I also course important announcements in the organization I'm heading via our social media groups. I would say I use social media at least 8 hours a day, too.

I use social media every day but not to the extent that I use my whole day. I joined in different groups related to making money online and I just check for the updates that are possible for eaning. If I'm not doing important things online, I spend 1-2 hours on social media. But if there's something important I need to work on, I prevent myself from logging to my social media account to make sure that I could focus on what needs to be done.

Well for me i spend more time using social media platform. Because i don't have a work so my free time is alway's on social media, chatting with friend and reading post of other people. That's how i often use social media maybe someday when i got more matured and got a job maybe i spend less time in social media. But for now i spending a lot of my time in social media.

I'm sure you'll spend less time on it when you get work. Well, you can start now by acquiring a hobby or by studying diligently on a skill that you feel like will make you money. I'm not saying spending a lot of time on it is unproductive, but it's best to use your time wisely.

Currently, I live very far away from my friends right now, so I spend a lot of time on social media keeping in contact with them and seeing what they're up to in their daily lives. Social media is also very prevelant in my line of work- checking to see analytics, posting content, and answering questions for people. In total, I probably spend an average of four to six hours with social media tabs open on my laptop or computer with a combined amount of time spent on the website itself, probably two to three full hours. To be honest, I think that's too much time spent on those websites but it's such a part of society now, it's hard to avoid.

We are definitely on the same page. Just a week ago I'm wasting my time playing mobile games and scrolling through my social media and now everytime I wake I am already thinking of how much points I have made and what strategy I'm gonna use to improve the number of post I make a day.

I really found it hard to control my time using social medias. I usually spend my time scrolling through social medias, and I often sacrifice my time that I should be doing my work. In average, I think I am spending around 5 hours through my social media accounts. That is too much for me as I am a student and I am also working online. I am still looking for an effective way for me to control my usage of social media so that I could spend more time in working.

My day is not complete without checking my newsfeed. That's my way to check on my friend's and family's updates. What I did is I removed the shortcut widget from my homescreen. I noticed that I had lessen my usage of Facebook and it is quite effective tho.

Well, back in the days when Facebook was new, I was really into it, and I could use it for hours. But eventually my friends there started taking it like a confession room, and they started posting all the things they were doing daily, their relationship issues, and that became really annoying, so right now, I don't find it likeable anymore, and stopped using it. It just remind me of birthdays and that's it. In fact, I reduced all my social media, and only left about 2 or 3 of them, and for personal purposes only.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

You are right. Sometimes talking personal things there make us not interested using it anymore. We should use it properly.

Some people use Social media like an ego boost, and that's awkward, annoying, and very wrong. So, is better to leave it for your business, and to keep in touch with loved ones, so that way you avoid all the fake perfect lives people tend to show off.

I think I am always connected. And I am always available on facebook some of the time. I only check the instagram once in a while. So that goes to show you that social media involvement all the time can be good enough. I have personally learned that spending time too much has definitely affected my life. But I try to get the most out of the social media and end up spending more time in the excuse of freelancing these days. I have to change this.

I use the social media for an hour a day and more if needed only. Before, I end up spending a lot of time on it but now I do my best to prioritize my work and only made use of social media in relation to my work. I use social media for posting relevant ideas to my page and by promoting my business. Usually an hour is enough to answer messages and update.

When I was still on my early teenage years, I mostly spent at least 6-8 hours a day with my social media apps. However, after I turned 19, I became a little bored with it so I only use it for at least 20-30 minutes nowadays. It really helped me to focus more on my freelance jobs but unfortunately, YouTube became a bit interesting and so I kind of use it longer and it sometimes take a lot of my time.

I am into Facebook and I have no active Twitter account and my Instagram account was created for testing purposes only. Unlike my friends who are in Facebook every time, I open my Facebook account once a day just to check on the people close to me who are residing abroad or in the province. I post once or twice a week when there is something interesting to post about. It’s not good to be into social media too often because I might get addicted just like some of my friends.

I find social media a great time waster. If you are a freelancer but do not get your clients from social media than I would highly suggest to stay away from it. Social media websites are basically designed to keep you on the site. A lot of the time, the average person spends up to 30 minutes in one session on social media websites. Think about all that time you could be doing something else.. there's a lot to do within a 30 minute time frame. You could learn something that will grow your value, work on your skills, update your services. I mean there is a lot you can do, and do not waste your time.

I rarely go on social media anymore, I completely despise it. The only time I even go on social media is if someone tags me in a post. That's basically it. Other than that I have no true purpose for it. I have often thought about deleting my accounts but my friends would probably get mad at me.. lol

What you have said is true. Social media has a bad effects to our lives. Most of the time people did not notice how much they spend using it because they are well entertained of them. Time is precious and we should do something have value and important too.

A few individuals who earn their living off social media are required to provide 6 hours minimum. My mother and father check once each day for 10 minutes. There are as many social media apps. Even if you spend 10 minutes on each, plenty of time is gone. Social media isn't life. So yeah, do not make it very important and don't be afflicted by fomo.

It’s hard to avoid social media if it’s part of your job role. I guess in those instances it really does take up a big chunk of everyday life. One of my freelance jobs is managing the twitter and Instagram for a business and even that as a side job keeps me busy and checking accounts daily.

I spend an hour or two on Facebook and Twitter. Those are the only social media sites I am active on. And I do that specifically because I know that very soon, I'll be doing some marketing on both sites. What I'm doing basically is ensuring my social media connections know that I like spending time online with them, build solid relationships first.

Afterwards when they start seeing links that point back to my blog, a number of them will click on them and probably buy what I'll sell them on the other side.

I suppose once I start doing more social media marketing I'll spend a lot more time on the sites.

Before I am always chatting online. Post this and that even though it's all non sense. But as i grew up, I tend to lessen my craving for doing these things which consume most of my time.

It depends on what platform we’re talking about. Most people consider sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram when they hear the term “social media,” but I’m not all that fond of those sites. I personally prefer Reddit and YouTube as my social media platforms of choice.

In any case, I’m almost constantly on both of those sites. Being that I work online as a freelancer, I always have my browser open, and if my browser is open then I inevitably have tabs open for both Reddit and YouTube. There’s such an incredible amount of quality content on both sites that I can’t help but frequent them all the time.

It is great because it helps me to stay refresh and motivated for the day.

I also use social media for my work. I spend quite a bit of time on it. I use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest to find out what’s trending and create marketing campaigns around this fact. In the evenings I sue social media for entertainment. It is very easy for social media to be a distraction when you are working. It is not uncommon to find that most employers block social media sites in their offices because of this.

Social media for me is not so much a platform for amusement as it is a platform for communication. The most of my time on social media is spent on whatsapp where I discuss business and sometimes chat with family and friends. Facebook offers me the chance to showcase some of my work and to have as many people as possible see it.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

Steve5
I agree. It used to be all about communicating. That's what chats and posts were made for. But now it's become a platform for many other things. Like games and promoting businesses. You can't really avoid that since people are looking to grow their source of income.

Hi there!

To be honest with you, social media is fun for me, I use it for both personal and business reasons (I have a group with 6k audience). Lately, I log in twice a day on Facebook and browse it for 15 minutes.
Long time ago, when I had a lot of spare time, browsing social media was like an addiction for me, and it affected me pretty badly. I even had a depression. But thank God I grew out of it.



Are you sure you want to delete this post?

That's really nice. A lot of people are still hung over social media. So I'm glad someone was able to let go of it. I hope others can do the same.

I mostly just browse it during my free time. I don't spend all my time there since there are better sites on the internet.

Honestly, I think that's the best way to use your social media. Taking care of yourself and your stuff, and then take some time to check them out. Nowadays, people tend to do the opposite and rely on social media to live their lives. It seems egocentric, and it's a fake side of your real life.

Facebook seems horrible to me, badly designed and bloated and full of updates from work colleagues etc that I really don't care about. I do use twitter, somewhat socially but I like it as a personal news feed, I can follow the people/websites that post about things I am interested in and it's easier than visiting all the websites.

You should visit https://www.russianbrides.com/hot-russian-brides/ in order to find out that it has everything you need to effectively get new Russian acquaintances. You'll forget about being lonely very quickly once you start using it.
