investing your time into a social media strategy
will reward you with a big payoff - in time.

The purpose of social media is to BUILD
RELATIONSHIPS over time, where you become a
trusted, fun, informative voice in your industry
for them to "tune into," almost like setting a
preset station on your car radio. Keep that
golden rule in mind as you work on executing your
social media strategy

Pick 1 Site and FOCUS Your Efforts
if you're a Fortune 500, you have a team of
social media strategists updating all those sites
for you full-time! But in reality, if you try to
stay on top of every social media site at once,
THAT would become your full-time job...and you've
got a business to run!

Post Something Fresh Each Day
If you can't dedicate yourself to updating your
page frequently - at least once a week - it's
better not to have a page at all. Having fresh
content really helps you connect with your
followers. Posting frequently gets your name in
front of the eyes of your customers every
day. Even if they're not looking to buy your
stuff today, they might be ready tomorrow. You've
got to be there to remind them.

Take 15 minutes each day to get things moving on
your page. Start taking pictures of your office
or store. Introduce new members of your team.
Start a "customer of the week" program. Ask for
feedback from your followers.

Share Engaging, Relevant Content
Needed to create brand new content every time and
wanted to share information with our followers.
THAT was overwhelming! Until you realized that
was already spending a lot of time reading
articles and news about things that affect small
businesses.

Social Networking - Offline
It's really effective for B2B relationships. In
order for this to be really easy, you've got to
join your local chamber of commerce.
11
Write them a quick note so they remember you,
then FRIEND or FOLLOW them. They'll be happy to
build their own networks, and they'll especially
appreciate the "Like" on their business page.
Plus it makes you look like you "get it" - you
know, this whole social media thing.
12
Ask Questions. Post Offers
What you really want to do is find ways to get
your followers to ENGAGE with you. Ask their
opinion of something, or ask them what they think
of the Pro Bowl coming before the Super Bowl

Business Networking The Right Way
14
Business networking, just like any other
networking, involves not only one person. It
basically includes two or more individuals
sharing the same interests and goals for a
specific thing. It means helping each other to
achieve one goal. It entails pro-activity and
socialization.
15
Networking is needed in business. People involved
in this are willing to share his/her experiences
and knowledge to other people within the same
interest or industry.
It is a must in business and entails the use of
your ability to talk and share with other people.
16
TIPS
Don't sell your products/services heads-on during
networking. Remember that your fellow businessmen
are people who may not want to talk about you or
your offer. The best way to do business
networking is to ask questions about the other
person and not to talk about yourself.
Business networking is about helping each other
reach the top. It is not just about competition.
It is your chance to be involved with other
like-minded people, learn from them and find a
common ground to do business with them.
