Hiring A Social Media Manager

So, I have always been one who has struggled when it comes to social media. Both for my own personal use and also for anything professional. No matter what I do, who I talk to, or watch, I just don't feel very comfortable with it. It's not exactly a secret that if you want to be successful these days you need to be on socials. So, I'm going to hire someone. 

I have tried my best to learn more about how to use social media to help grow, exchange and capitalise on my online presence. Over the years I have done everything, read a number of books, and watched countless YouTube videos on the subject. I even paid for an online course that I thought would help me but alas it did not. 

I have always found it hard to admit to myself that I need help. I have been known to be the kind of guy that will try to do everything myself. I build the websites, do most of the writing, I stream, upload to YouTube, graphic design and social media. Having all of these skills is great, it means I can keep my costs low while offering you the best content I can. 

On the other hand, it means that I don't do any of these as good as someone who specialises in that. For the most part, this hasn't bothered me all that much. But as we go forward I am looking to grow my readership and generally building my following online. So to that end, I've decided to spend some cash and hire someone who knows what they are doing. 

I'm now looking through various online platforms to find someone to help me run social media accounts, keep an eye out for further updates about where to find us across the internet in the near future. What do you guys think about this, good use of funds? A bad idea? Let me know! 

Thanks for reading,
