There are a couple of ways that I recommend in outsourcing. You can post on Craigslist for writers. You can even barter their services. Or you can hire a company that does content creation (like LMM--sorry shameless promotion). Everywhere you look now there is someone claiming to be a social media expert so check out their work, make sure they have created some successes for their clients before you hire them. As for costs, I recently read an article about a study of social media services and the range was dramatic from just a couple hundred dollars for having some blog posts and tweets written to $15,000 a month for training employees of companies how to effectively use and promote on social media. Steven,

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:24:04 +0000 http://localmarketingmastery.com/?p=232#comment-113 I have a question in regards to How #1 above. You said: "You can outsource it. Find someone who can write and preferably someone local so she/he can cover topics of local interest." Can you tell me how to find someone that would be willing to do this? Is this a service that I would likely be charged for? Thanks! I have a question in regards to How #1 above.
