I'm sure you've considered teaching yourself social media. Makes sense, after all, there are tons of free references out there. 6 Steps to Success, 5 Tips for Engagement, Complete Guide to Using Twitter. Why spend money when you can learn everything you need to know for free? Right? Wrong. There is value in hiring a coach who is an expert in social media marketing... Don't believe me? Well, here's 10 Good Reasons Why:

1. Hiring a coach saves you time.

Maybe you have time to learn social media marketing on your own, and maybe your time would be better spent doing what you do best. If you hire a coach, you won't have to muddle through all the different theories, or spend any time learning things you didn't even need to learn. An expert coach has already been there, done that and can take you directly to mastery quickly and efficiently. Your time is valuable! The time you save will be well-worth the investment of an affordable social media coach.

2. Hiring a coach saves money.

You may think you are saving money by not hiring a coach to show you the ropes of social media and web marketing, but the reverse is true. Hiring a coach actually saves you money because it

Saves time.
Saves need for mish-mash training.
Brings peace of mind that all your questions are answered.
Brings you new leads and business faster.
Helps you achieve success and market dominance.

3. Hiring a coach gives you an expert opinion.

When it comes to social media marketing, your personal brand is everything. You don't want to leave your web presence to your assistant, or a college student. Heavens no!

Having a second opinion from an expert is priceless when it comes to dealing with prospects and clients online. There is no substitute for honest feedback.

4. Hiring a coach helps you get it right the first time.

There is a right way and a wrong way to do social media. Believe it or not, there are ways to really mess up your image via social media marketing. You need to know the protocol to use on the web which is entirely different from face-to-face. Interactions online are dictated by many unspoken rules. A good coach can teach you these rules and provide strategies for cutting-through the noise and getting your message out to your target market the right way, the first time.

5. Hiring a coach gets you strategy and mastery.

If you want to achieve results using social media, it's necessary to not only master the tools of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, WordPress, but you also need strategy. You need a game-plan for getting where you want to go. You need a start-and-a-finish. You need step-by-step guidelines showing you what to do every day to most efficiently get you to your destination. Anything less is really a waste of time.

6. Hiring a coach helps build your confidence.

There are many things involved with social media marketing that require new levels of confidence from you. Creating videos is one example. Blogging is another. Having the right coach by your side will help build your confidence to the point that you're posting and creating content with ease, quickly and efficiently. No need to do this alone! The right coach knows what buttons to push to make you feel like a superstar.

7. Hiring a coach helps you stay motivated.

The best coach will help you stay motivated. Enthusiasm is contagious. If you find a passionate coach who loves social media, the internet and people, then you've found a gold-mine. This type of coach can keep you on track, and blow the whistle when your enthusiasm starts to wain. Everyone has bad days, the right coach can help you have more good days and keep your spirits high all along the way.

8. Hiring a coach keeps you accountable.

Let's face it. There is a lot of stuff that falls by the wayside when we get busy. The day just slips away and soon, we find that we've not done the things we need to do to succeed online. Hiring a coach will give you a right-hand person who can keep you on the path to success. The right coach will have a program in place that will remind you what things need to be done, and keep you reaching for the next level. There is something to be said for having an accountability partner. It is a smart way to get things done and achieving greatness.

9. Hiring a coach gets all of your questions answered.

An excellent social media coach will be able to answer every question that you have about social media marketing. This includes questions like these:

How do I use WordPress?
How do I generate leads?
Do I use a Fan Page or a Profile Page?
How do I do SEO?
What do I post on Facebook?
How do I use Twitter?
Should I do marketing on my personal profile?

Your mind is likely FILLED with hundreds of internet and social media related questions. The right coach will be able to answer all your questions quickly and expediently. You will no longer feel like a confused nomad wandering on the web, not knowing where is home. A good coach will answer all your questions.

10. Hiring a coach help you be successful.

Can you imagine Tiger Woods not having a coach? Rocky Balboa? Your favorite football team? It's absolutely unheard of that any top-performer perform without having a coach. In today's competitive world having the right coach is a brilliant way to stay ahead of the competition and achieve better results you can't achieve on your own. You need a team behind you, pulling for you, working overtime to help you be successful. You need a coach who cares and who has your best interests in mind, who can be honest and can keep you on track.

Hiring a Coach Pays for Itself!

In order for your social media presence grow quickly and profitably, you must know and understand social media inside-and-out. There can be no gray areas. You must master video, blogging, website lead generation, email newsletter, Facebooking, Twitter and much more. Do you really have time to teach yourself everything? It could take years. Sure, you can learn social media on your own, but by the time you figure it out, the world will be onto something else. Not only that, but time is dwindling away as you learn what you're doing, and who knows if you're learning the right thing? Who knows if you're following the right expert? What if you are mislead? Do you really know enough about the web and social media to be able to know where to best spend your time?
