Are you on Facebook?  Twitter?  LinkedIn?  Most important question is,  “Do you have a social media marketing strategy?”. 

So many think that creating a facebook business page or twitter account or linkedin profile is social networking.   It is not.  If you created a page and haven’t done anything with it in months; if you created a twitter account and haven’t tweeted; or if you created a linkedin profile and have yet to join groups or post a discussion, you’re not involved in social networking.   

You need a social media coordinator. That person or company should ask you a series of questions and request valuable information to even begin the process.  There is a list of things you should do to become successful at social media.  Some of them are listed below.   You also want to contract a person or company that has their OWN facebook page, twitter account and linkedin profile.  After all, if they claim they are social media experts, they should be marketing themselves in the social networks, RIGHT? 

1. You should be asked to provide your website
2. You should be given your badge code or URL address for your social media site id’s to be added to your website AND email signature line. 
3. You need to provide a image file of your company logo or a professional headshot/profile picture
4. You should be asked a series of questions to figure out what your target audience is

This is just some of the information you should be asked when signing on with a social media marketer.

Social media is a great way to build brand, website traffic, sell products and much more.  Facebook is changing the way we market every day.  Make sure your social media coordinator is following up on all changes!  Our social media packages are reasonable and we offer more than just  “build a page” standards!  Contact us today to find out how we can help you become successful on social media networks!

If you’re thinking of having someone create a Welcome Landing Page, make sure you find someone who is keeping up with the changes. You will soon not be able to design your landing page using FBML static applications. Facebook is moving towards IFrame.  Existing tabs created with FBML will not be touched.

Now you no longer have to type the @ symbol to tag a person or page in a status update!!   It ONLY works when you use a capital letter, however, as it recognizes proper nouns!  Smart!
