| As a writer, should you worry about social media?
Well, according to research published in Adweek, the average person will spend more than 5 years of their lives on social media.
That’s more time spent on social media than spent on eating and drinking (3 years 5 months) … Grooming (1 years 10 months) … and socializing (1 year 3 months).
We spend 4 TIMES as much time on social media as we do actually socializing!
What does that say about us as a society? I’m not sure. But one thing I know for sure, your ideal customers, clients, and readers are hanging out on social media.
So, YES, you should probably worry about social media -- it can be a great way to build your writing business.
