What do I do with Facebook and Twitter?
I am too busy and people don’t care what I am doing anyway. Wait. Your business has lot to share. Your business has a lot to offer
If you are not on Facebook you are missing a great opportunity to be where over 1 billion people are almost daily. Some people are there multiple times a day. People visit Facebook and Twitter on their mobile device everywhere, any time.
Internet users in the U.S. spend nearly a quarter of their time online using social media (or about 13 and half minutes per every hour spent online). Nearly 4 out of 5 web users visit a social networking site on a monthly basis. 73% of US companies use social media tools for marketing purposes
What can you Facebook about?
- Offer a discount for “liking” you on Facebook
- Tell people about your latest unusual project
- Feature a product or service
- Feature an employee
Top 5 things to do with your business facebook account.
- Make sure to set up a Business Facebook page not a personal page used as a business page. People make this mistake often and lose followers when Facebook turns the page off for violation of their policies.
- Place a little link to your Web site on the left hand side of the page
- Create a welcome page for new visitors to help them “like” you.
- Add 10 to 20 photos
- Offer an incentive for people to “like” your page
What next:
- Create a video on YouTube. Easy to do with inexpensive video equipment or phone.
- Blog about the video. (you do have a blog, don’t you?). Embed the video in your blog.
- Facebook about the Blog Post (drives traffic to the blog and hopefully your Website)
- Tweet about the Blog Post with a short link (these funny looking things: http://bit.ly/RRSt2k) to the Blog
- Google Plus your blog post.
