Self promotion, when done correctly can increase the visibility of your brand and drive more traffic to your blog/website/store, while gaining more followers through the process.

When done badly, you can easily sound like a broken record, become really annoying to your peers, and/or sound like you're just showing off. 

If there's one thing that we can never get back, it is time. As an entrepreneur we often seek ways to save time, but despite the endless articles providing tips to do so, the truth is - if you want to save time, you have to spend money. "In order to make money, you have to have money." You need money to start, you need money to invest, and you need money to delegate out tasks to save you time and give you time. So if you are like me and rather spend time creating instead of 5 hours at the laundry mat, then you're going to have to start paying someone to do it for you instead.
