1 Keys t Scial Media Success Be cnsistent - It's imprtant fr fllwers t feel yur presence regularly r they will frget abut what yu're message is and hw imprtant it is t their lives. Hw ften shuld I pst? It really depends n hw much time yu have t allcate. Think f scial media as a netwrking event. Yu culd shw up, shake a few hands and leave, r yu culd stay lnger and make a lng-term impact and cnnectin with several peple in the rm. I'd say it wuld be gd t send up t 10 tweets a day, 3 Facebk psts, 3 Ggle+ psts and 3 LinkedIn psts. Anything abve that will just get yu a bigger fllwing even faster. The trick with any nline strategy is 'the mre yu d it, the mre success yu'll see with it' - vide, blgging, prduct creatin etc. But what d I say? There is such a fear ver what t say n scial netwrks. Drp the fear and share frm the heart. That is what I tell every single ne f my website and caching clients. Yu have a pwerful message t share. Yu have wisdm and amazing tips frm yur life experience. All yu need t d is draw n that and share what yu think will help thers. When yu are n a scial netwrk, start thinking f these prfile pages as yu're secnd website - it's just as imprtant if nt mre imprtant. When n yur scial sites, dn't share what yu are eating fr lunch. Dn't strictly self-prmte either. ADD VALUE t peple's lives ut f the gdness f yur heart and yu will be AMAZED at hw lyal they becme, hw much they prmte yu and hw they supprt yur business grwth. One day I'll share a qute, r pse a questin. I'll share inspiring vides r pst helpful hw-t cntent. Peple need t FEEL smething frm what yu write therwise they will ttally mve n. There are s many peple in the wrld with pinins and messages t share. Why wuld Prperty f NGNG Enterprises, Inc. D nt distribute withut permissin.

2 they stp and want t listen t yu regularly? Then use that as a mdel fr what yu pst nline. What else culd I be ding? Spend minutes each mnth n Facebk and LinkedIn researching cmpanies and individuals related t yur industry. Yu may want t d a quick Ggle search if yu d nt knw wh yur cmpetitrs are. Fr example, search "dg trainers." As yu lcate yur cmpetitrs, thrughly scan their Facebk and LinkedIn pages t evaluate what they are ding. Yu are lking fr number f friends, what kind f cntent they pst, hw frequently they are making psts, are their friends r fllwers psting n their wall, are they generating a lt f cmments, d they ffer different media, are they self-prmting their prducts and services, what is the md like n their page, etc. It will becme bvius t yu if this cmpetitr has 30 friends and never psts, then they are nt a mdel t fllw. But if yu find a cmpetitr that has 3,500 friends, has a lt f activity n their page and is branding themselves well, then they are smene t study. During yur research be sure t take ut a piece f paper and jt dwn ideas f what yu want t imprve abut yur wn Facebk, Twitter, LinkedIn etc pages. Make it a cnversatin - Scial media is nt a ne-way street f yu prmting yurself. The mre yu invlve yurself in cnversatins f yur fllwers, the mre they will feel like yu care abut them. Peple want t feel special and they want t feel thers are paying attentin t them. Hw d I make my psts cnversatinal? First, ask questins t yur audience. Dn't just say "read my blg pst" - instead, ask them a questin t get them engaged - draw the reader in. Then ask them t read yur blg pst. If yu draw fllwers in well, yu culd get tns f peple reading yur blg pst. Example: Prperty f NGNG Enterprises, Inc. D nt distribute withut permissin.

3 Hw else can I get a cnversatin ging? Part f the trick f scial media is t Like and Cmment n yur fllwers psts. It cannt be a ne-way street. Actively scur yur main feed fr these netwrks and find cntent yu can share n yur wall, like psts, and make cmments. These fllwers will return the favr by sharing, liking and cmmenting n yur psts. Cmmenting. If smene cmments n a pst yu did, fllw up by cmmenting back. Keep the cnversatin ging. Find ut their needs, desires - ask hw yu can help them - cmpliment them n making a gd cmment, etc. Wrd f muth wrthy - Until yu are mre familiar with what yur audience likes, ask yurself befre yu publish each scial media pst, "Is this cl enugh t share?" If yu wuldn't share yur wn pst, then chances are n ne else will. See the ther sectins f this reprt fr mre ideas n this. Prperty f NGNG Enterprises, Inc. D nt distribute withut permissin.

4 Inspire - When peple are inspired, they take actin (especially thrugh wrd f muth). D nt nly prmte yur services, inspire peple t be their greatest selves, THEN ffer yur prmtinal service psts secndary. What d peple find inspiring? Qutes, images with sayings n them, vide, r just yur wn persnal wrds f wisdm. I suggest ding a randm shuffle f these items. Dn't always pst qutes, r pst 4 vides in a rw. Try t give yur audience a mix f cntent and pst regularly t appeal t everyne's interests. Examples: Prperty f NGNG Enterprises, Inc. D nt distribute withut permissin.

6 Be genuine - Peple like REAL results and emtin. Real emtin will give yu sme f the highest returns in scial media. Update fllwers n yur prgress, yur excitement abut grwing persnally and prfessinally - get them invlved. Prperty f NGNG Enterprises, Inc. D nt distribute withut permissin.

8 That's nice, but what's the prcess I shuld fllw?! Write yur blg pst and publish it. Prperty f NGNG Enterprises, Inc. D nt distribute withut permissin.

9 Take the link frm the pst and figure ut a gd questin t pse t draw readers in. Then add a descriptin abut hw this article slves that questin (see abve examples). I type ut my pst first, then g int all the scial netwrks. I'll add that pst t Facebk with a URL back t that pst. I d the same thing fr Ggle+ and LinkedIn. Fr Twitter, I make the pst much shrter and pst there. Ideally, yu'd make up 3-4 psts like this fr each article, and publish these ver the next cuple f weeks. Yu can be prmting multiple blg psts at nce. If smene missed yur blg pst prm frm tw weeks ag, they may never see the pst. Keep recycling yur cntent! Seed in qutes, vides, etc that d nt directly prmte yu r yur message. Give peple a sense f what excites r mtivates yu - this is hw yu build the relatinship. I typically just g n these netwrks 2-3 times a day fr a few minutes each. I like a few psts, make sme cmments, update my wn wall with a new pst and mve n. Tips and Tls Use Buffer t manage yur scial media and help ffer suggestins n what yu can pst abut. Als, yu'll see this system ffers analytics t track yur prgress.

D a Ggle search n this t learn mre. Remember yur funnel wuld be Blg pst > get peple t pt-in > get peple t buy In yur blg psts always end with a call t actin - always tell peple what yu want them t d next.
