Everybody is on social media these days.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Pinterest, YouTube, SnapChat… The list goes on.
Do you spend a lot of time online? Have you written, commented on, shared and tweeted lots of content on social media?
If so, what are you doing to build your personal brand?
I know I know. You already have a day job. You are already busting your guts for your company.
How can you possibly have any bandwidth to build your personal brand using content?

What should you do under these circumstances?
