There's an upfront investment and a long term investment for brands and individuals alike. While the initial costs can be low (there are no barriers to entry), they can ramp up considerably as you continue to network and grow your social footprint to at least a size 13. The more you grow, the more work you have to do to maintain your presence. Building social behavior into your daily regime is something that I am striving to do as much for myself as for brands, and it's a balancing act. Also, having something new to say doesn't hurt. With so much inspiration, it's a wonder anyone has time to communicate. Thanks for your comments, Dan. There's an upfront investment and a long term investment for brands and individuals alike.

I like to think of it as an investment with an overall purpose. My own brand goal and overarching theme to my professional life. :) If I thought about my social media time as a cost relative to the hours I spend, I would be very lonely and sorry individual. Instead, I look at the much brighter potential of the time used. <br><br>Thank you for a great read Mr. Bourne. I hope it didn't cost you too much. ;) I don't like to think of it as a cost.
