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 calls
. 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.
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!
