Increase Your Social Media Results

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

Are you using social media, but not really sure why and not seeing much benefit?  Keep in mind the process can take time and turning friends and followers into clients does not happen over night.  But there are a few ways to speed up your results. 

Since we offer training to professional organizers, and other service based professionals, we had to get some answers on this new phenomenon that is changing the way small businesses market their business.  We had an Embrace Social Media, a TeleSummit a few months ago and it was a huge success and I learned so much on each of the eight expert callsSocial Media .  How to use  LinkedIn to find and make new connection and how to use social media and still manage to get all your other work done. 

Our Embrace Social Media, a  TeleSummit Audios and Transcripts will be available soon, so stay tuned or email us at info@aredbench.com to be the first to hear of their release.  But in the meantime, here are a few of my own takeaways from the event. 

  • 90% Is Showing Up:  One of our experts,  Dan McComb on the topic of the The Social Media Phenomenon, said show up and be consistent.  If your going to start a blog or post on Twitter then do it consistently.  You can decide what that means for you, but show up and be present with your social media usage.  By doing so you will more quickly become a trustworthy expert people come to rely on. 
  • Enjoy It:  Like everything else, you don’t have to to anything you don’t want to.  Expert Nancy Marmolejo, whose topic was How to Turn Followers Into Fans (and Fans Into Leads!) With Social Networking said be sure you’re enjoying social media or people will not find you genuine.  Social media is very transparent and people can see right through you, so be genuine and either like what you’re doing or leave it. 

It’s up to you if you want to participate, but there is a lot of opportunity out there and the world has certainly become a lot smaller with so many friends waiting for more information.

We will launch the Embrace Social Media, a  TeleSummit Audios and Transcripts one at a time or you can get all eight very soon!  More details coming soon!

Start Getting Results From Social Media

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

It goes without saying that social media is changing the way we market ourselves.  All of a sudden we can get our message to so many more people for virtually no cost, but our time.  Since we offer training to professional organizers, and other service based professionals, we had to get some answers on this new phenomenon.  We had an Embrace Social Media, a TeleSummit a few months ago and it was a huge success and I learned so much on each of the eight expert callsSocial Media .  How to use Facebook effectively, how to turn followers into fans and how to manage my time, yet still use these amazing and ground breaking tools. 

Our Embrace Social Media, a  TeleSummit Audios and Transcripts will be available soon, so stay tuned or email us at info@aredbench.com to be the first to hear of their release.  But in the meantime, here are a few of my own takeaways from the event. 

  • Start with a blog first.  If you are heading down the path of social media, the first step is to get a blog so you own all your intellectual property.   If everything you write is on Facebook or Twitter, you don’t own your material.  Create a blog and then link your blog to the various social media tools.  For help getting started purchase and listen to our class called How to Plan, Build and Promote Your Blog with Blog Expert and 2 Time NAPO Conference Speaker Rich Brooks. 
  • Add Value:   If you are using social media solely for the purpose of personal use, then sure post that your child just pooped himself.  But if you are using social media for your business think about how you can add value and what would attract people to your.  What problems or challenges do your followers have and how can you provide some help and solutions. 

It’s up to you if you want to participate, but there is a lot of opportunity out there and the world has certainly become a lot smaller with so many friends waiting for more information.

How to Turn Followers Into Fans (and Fans Into Leads!) With Social Networking

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Nancy MarmolejoThe first day of the Social Media TeleSummit event ended with expert social media user Nancy Marmolejo of Viva Visability.  Her topic was How to Turn Followers Into Fans (and Fans Into Leads!) With Social Networking.     

My biggest take away from Nancy was that social media is meant to be fun and engaging.  Until I now I have really been looking at using Facebook, Twitter, etc as a chore, another thing to do so to speak.  And yes, it does take time, but you get out of it what you put into it.  Social media allows me to provide value, build my reputation, increase my credibility and build trust in a very unobtrusive manner. 

Thank you so much for being on the call Nancy.  You have so much to offer.  I wish the call could have been longer. 

Continue to check our website and blog for more information regarding social media tools.  If you missed the Embrace Social Media, a TeleSummit, be on the lookout for Nancy’s presentation available from A Red Bench.
