10 Quick & Easy Ways To Get More Exposure Through Social Media
1. Use your Social Media Accounts.
If you’re one of those people that created your company page or opened an account, but haven’t used it since, then it’s time to start.
2. Post regularly.
Plan on posting to your social media accounts daily.
3. Post frequently.
People log in to their social media accounts at different times. So you want to make sure that you’re posting content when they’re online.
4. Follow people.
If you’re on Twitter, find your clients and potential clients and follow them. You’d be surprised at how many people will follow you back.
5. Engage in conversation.
Engaging in conversations requires that you listen to the conversations going on in Social Media. If you find that you are able to contribute in a positive way, then do it.
6. Be Relevant.
Random is good, but relevant is better. Make sure that you know what is going on in the world, in your industry and with your customers so that you can post content that will add value to their day.
7. Don’t be pushy.
Nobody likes a pushy self-centered person, so don’t be that person online. Practice the 80/20 Rule of Social Sharing whenever possible.
8. Be Helpful.
Nobody knows your business like you do, so teach us something.
9. Be Human.
It’s ok to have a personality online. After all, we want to make sure that there’s a person behind that social media profile
10. Use pictures.
Studies show that posts with pictures receive much more attention than those without pictures. So whenever you can, try using an image to compliment your text.
