I'm definitely the one to talk to about managing time with blogging and social media, but in the past doing things in batches then scheduling them have worked best for me. I know there's a WP calendar plugin that helps to schedule blog posts (I'm not sure if there's an equivalent in Blogger). In the past I've also used BufferApp, Hootsuite, and Facebook scheduler to help better organize my posts/updates. Good luck with your blog in 2015!

OOOH managing time is one of the sessions at the BlogPaws Conference that is a table topic I believe. Check out Robbi Hess for that. I love reading your posts and falling in love with the breed because of your posts and pics.

Congratulations on a great year!

You and I have laughed and bemoaned the joys and pitfalls of our first year together. You have made tremendous strides and have been an invaluable friend and sounding board. I wish you nothing but the best in 2015!

It is, your right. I am doing my best to keep up, however with just learning all of this, it can be quite a headache at times. but I know it is all worth it in the end. Thanks so much for your compliment!

Excellent post, Jenna! I really enjoyed reading it, thanks for letting us all peek into your world a bit. I just started using Hootsuite to schedule tweets and it's fantastic; such a time saver! Your jewelry is beautiful, I know you'll be able to grown that business. Your pieces are unique and one of a kind which makes them extra special!

You've done very well in one year Miss Jenna. :-) If you ever figure out HootSuite maybe you could let me know, I'm still on Triberr but I loved what Pamela said.

Also maybe scheduling posts on Facebook (I don't know if you do that or not) but sitting down for a half an hour one night and scheduling a bunch of stuff might help free up some time.

2015-01-11T19:20:42.015-05:00

What a great accomplishment - you've created all this in only one year?? You can feel really proud! Ugh, time management....that's a tough one. Social media is such a time-suck, and other than setting a timer or in some way limiting how much time you spend on your social media endeavors -- I haven't a clue. FWIW though, social media can pay off in the long run. It's a great way to promote your business!

2015-01-11T17:50:54.413-05:00

There's nothing wrong with a wordy post if you ask me! MOL Your blog has gone through a lot of changes over the last year and I think it is headed in a very good direction (not that I'm an authority or anything). I always appreciate your visits to my blog. Thank you very much for that. I know I'm horrible at getting around to everyone. It is one of my goals to improve that ! I think that promoting a business (especially a world-wide internet business) just takes a lot of time doing what you are already doing. If you sell your jewelry locally, you may want to consider getting your information on Yelp.com or Yellowpages.com. Ads in local newspapers would help you there too.

Thanks so much for your wonderful advice! I have d...

Thanks so much for your wonderful advice!
I have done a couple different giveaways but never thought to add a discount, so thank you for that idea!!
I'll be looking into hootsuite again, I know I just gave up too soon.

2015-01-11T09:55:00.954-05:00

Great post. And I loved seeing your bloopers post again. Talk about a brilliant way to get content from something many people just see as a lot pic.

But it did have me wondering what kind of crazy person thinks they could ever get three dogs at once to smile and look at the camera. :)

I'd second everyone's suggestion to use a social media management tool like Hootsuite. I like Hootsuite because I have two blogs and it keeps me from having to log in and out of Twitter for Hands on Home Buyer and Something Wagging.

What makes it easier to use is to download the hootsuite app to your browser. Then when you see something cool you want to share with your followers (including your own old posts), you just have to click the app on your browser bar. It can even choose the most likely time people will see your tweet, which is very helpful.

As for your jewelry business, maybe you should approach a blogger who does lots of review and giveaways. Since you're a fellow blogger and not a huge corporation, many people might be willing to do a review and giveaway and you could offer a discount to other people who order at the same time. Valentine's Day is coming up.

I'm no expert. But if you have a hootsuite question, feel free to email me through my blog. That said, if it feels complicated, maybe there's a better program that you'll like more. I gave up on Mail Chimp because it felt too complicated for me. I switched to Mad Mimi for sending out my blog posts because it was easy.

Sometimes things in life can definitely slow things down for people. I understand that completely. I love your blog though and love everything you stand for with animal rescue and representing not just cats, but dogs too!

It is important, I agree. I think it shows your readers that you value their comments, and actually care about what they are saying to you. I know that when I comment, I love to see when the writers answer me.
I look forward to reading your challenge!

Thanks my island pals!
