Social Media Marketing Needs a Plan

If you own a business, there’s a good chance someone has said, “You need a Facebook page!” or “Do you have a Twitter account?” or even…

You put an ad in the Yellowpages?!

“WHAT?! You put an ad in the Yellowpages?!”

Yes, I agree, the last one is the most shocking. However, everyone needs a plan. What people should be asking is “How are you reaching your online audience?” Having the social media accounts provides very little for a business if there is not any content being shared or anyone engaging on a regular basis.

It’s easy to tell someone to open up a bank account, but explaining HOW to manage it is something completely different. Social Media can be daunting if you don’t have the right help.

The Bad News:

  1. You can’t simply purchase it, there is no “Simple” button
  2. On average, Takes 3-6 months to get it flowing

The Good News:

  1. There is lots of good news, starting with $, costs a lot less to market over the long term
  2. ROI – Return on Investment averages better than any outbound marketing strategy
  3. You can track where virtually ALL your traffic and business is coming from

One of the best ways to REALLY get your social media plan started is by hiring a professional social media marketer; we don’t charge too much, I promise. We’ll make sure your:
• Blog is on YOUR own website
• That it is syndicating to your Twitter & Facebook accounts
• That you are creating links back to pages within your site from your blog, AND
• That you completely and totally understand ALL of this social media stuff…

…so nobody will ever ask if you have a ‘page’ or an ‘account’ again… because they’ll already know.
