Ask Denise is a new, occasional feature on Adventures in Visibility. One of the most perplexing things about social media marketing is wrangling all the social sites you're on and knowing what, when and how often to share content. I received this question from Trudy Van Buskirk: How many times a day do you have to post to get visibility? It's not the first time I've been asked this question over the years. A decade ago it was “how often should I post on my blog?” Now, it's “how often should I post on [insert social networking site]?”.
