Social Media Marketing – An Hour A Day
Jan 13th
There are many activities that fill up our days besides social media marketing. An hour a day might seem like a lot to give up to focus on increasing our online presence and building our social equity. But there are some bonuses that come with organizing a small portion of our time with activities that really matter.
We’re not just talking about decreasing the amount of TV or movies we watch, although the sacrifice for doing so is minimal. We are talking about organizing our work day so that we can spend a solid hour working on increasing our relationships with customers, clients, partners, co-workers, vendors, and even competitors.
Here are a few specific social media marketing activities that will pay off huge dividends if we are committed to spend an hour a day doing them.
1. Find one social marketing program. We shouldn’t waste our time constantly looking for systems and programs. We could spend months looking at different systems without ever starting to increase our business’ visibility and that is not productive. Preferably, the system we choose should combine search engine optimization (SEO) with social media marketing.
2. Start spending and hour a day working through it’s modules. Set time a part during the work day. We shouldn’t start a new module until we have extrapulated everything that we can from the module we’re on. When we do so, we will build a global identity, while creating professional, honest, one-on-one relationships.
3. Fill up down time with proven habits such as listening to motivational or social media optimization (SMO) training, calling a client just to see how they are doing, and taking advantage of the opportunity to visit our competitors just to see what they have up their sleeves this week.
4. Get to know co-workers and vendors better. I once sold an item that had been on inventory for nearly a year simply by asking our delivery personnel if they knew anyone who might be interested in it! They appreciate our concern and our sincere desire that they succeed. Spend some time with them and watch their productivity soar!
In an effort to heed my own advice, and not feed you more than you can chew – at least while keeping your mouth closed – I will end there. Follow these simple concepts of focusing on social media marketing an hour a day and you will be successful.
Social Media Marketing: Changing the face of e-Business
Nov 4th
Anyone who owns a business will tell you how hard it is to continually keep customers interested in your product. And let’s face it, without fresh clientele coming in it’s impossible to turn a profit, let alone keep a business going. How are successful business owners able to keep pulling in customers year after year? Social media marketing is playing a big role in the success of business these days.
The tried and true methods of marketing and advertising still hold plenty of value today. Television, radio, billboards, signs; these are all good ways to get your name and product out to the general public. Using these marketing tools will certainly give you a voice, but this day and age is primarily dominated by one information source: The Internet. Many businesses use the internet for advertising and self-promotion, but the Internet is as varied and diverse as the businesses that use it and methods designed to achieve the desired marketing affect are just as varied and diverse.
Social media marketing is an exciting new approach to generating limitless traffic to your web-based business. Imagine the daily number of people who log onto popular social media websites like: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Mybloglog, Technorati, the list goes on.
Everybody hates the ads that appear on many of these sites. This is NOT what social media marketing is about. It’s about being social, about using your personality and interests to build communities that continually reach new clientele and contacts.
Using the popularity and social aspects of these sites can produce unimaginable results when it comes to the number of hits received. This approach allows business owners to connect with like minded people and help build awareness at little or no cost!
Of course social media marketing isn’t just about getting a name out there to the general public; there is a logical aspect to the approach. Extensive research of the most heavily searched key words along with linking accounts and blogs to several different sites is just an example of what goes into the social marketing idea.
