Five Social Media Tips

[OnefortheMoney]

From one of my favourite blogs (http://blog.ewomennetwork.com/2011/1...-social-media/)

1. Have a strategy. First, determine how social media fits into your overall marketing strategy. What is your goal? Do you want to build a list, drive traffic to a website, or both? Keep in mind that your overall results with social media will depend on your ability to convert that list of traffic into paying clients. To get best results, you’ll want to think through your entire process, rather than just rely on social media as the new thing.

2. Write killer content. There is only one thing that will get you popularity in social media - your content (or written information). You need to create content that people want to read; the kind that grabs attention, solves pressing problems, and has a strong ‘pass-along’ factor. Great content will get you a loyal audience on social media networks. If you are not a writer, or don’t like to write, hire a copywriter or article writer.

High value content is in demand both in social media networks and on the web as a whole. Garnering valuable information is the reason people look to the internet. To drive traffic to your site using social media, you must have something that people want.

3. Give more than you think you should and then give some more. Social media can be a highly effective relationship building tool. To build good relationships, it is good to give before you get. Recommend resources, contacts and give information freely.

4. Strike a balance between giving and self-promotion. When you have new content on your site or that you have submitted to a directory, send out an email or message via the social network to let your readers know about it. But, be careful not to overdo it. You’ll alienate people if you are always selling something. It’s important to find the balance between sharing valuable content and resources with shameless self-promotion.

5. Be time conscious. Social media is an attractive marketing tactic because there is no huge financial investment to get started. However, it can suck up an awful lot of your time if you’re not careful. And time IS money if you want a successful business. You need to get really clear on what you want to achieve and allocate your time accordingly.

I think video is going to be the next big wrath in public networking so I might concentrate on making some movie clips. I am also a enormous fan of Tweets so I would be offering plenty of articles and reviews through a Tweets route. I really appreciate social networking competitions / offers so I would make some of those as well.

Psssst, Facebook is deleting FBML pages now. They've stopped being uploadable (about a year now) and have been replaced with Iframes.

Following are some social media tips:

3. Use Social Power Tools to create a facebook fbml page.
.

I would argue that all these are fine and good practice but that social media strategy goes a lot higher than that. There are three key areas of fan development and then there is the money making aspect of social media - the networking. I would suggest that you need to go a bit deeper to really have much success with social media and social bookmarking. You're still seeing it as a platform to talk about you - really it's a platform to talk about them to them, and to demonstrate you to them and to referral businesses.
