If you cant do it yourself, you should nlt be doing it as it leads to a disconnect. Writing market reports teaches you about your market, letting someone else teaches them but leaves you in the dark. It catches up eventually.

This is one of those things that i do myself, though I sometimes wonder if it would be wise to delegate some of it.

So far I look at it as recreation, and it is hard to delegate rec time.

Christopher, I think that outsourcing social media is a disaster waiting to happen.  Whatever you put out there, you need to control, and having a rent a blog outfit write your posts?  It's totally easy to pick out the fakes.

You have confused two issues.

Knowing all you can and spending too much time on the busy work are not related.

The person acting upon the knowledge they have would most certainly delegate clerical tasks to others.
