<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What are your social media goals for March?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe finally getting around to updating your "look" or timeline picture on Facebook?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Creating a blog?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Learning how to schedule posts for your social media sites?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Connecting with others through online networking?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Getting more active on Twitter? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Whatever it is, LNT would love to help.</span></div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that we're already starting February, it's time to get "social" with your business and start accomplishing the goals you set in January!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Start off with gathering your<strong><em> list of goals</em></strong> (if you haven't made one yet, no worries create one now-it's not too late) for 2013. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now read each goal and think "how am I going to accomplish these goals?"</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">You need a game plan, as with anything.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Start out small and work your way up to the largest goal, or go in the opposite pattern up to you.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">I like to write a list of <strong><em>GOALS</em></strong> rather then resolutions each January because then they seem more "approachable" and "do-able" to me!</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">More of a "to do" list but with a positive spin on it. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><strong><em>A few of my business goals this year are the following~</em></strong></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Keep learning more about the ever-changing world of social media, so I can keep my clients up to date.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Gain at least 5+ new clients each month.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Complete at least one group seminar (if not more) every month and follow up with each person individually that attends...which I've done in the past but could do a better job at this year.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Continue to grow my brand by also increasing my fans on ALL social media sites.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">*Create a monthly e-newsletter and keep up with it (and make it interesting to my clients and business contacts). </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Those are just a few of mine, how about yours?</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Is social media on your list? </span></div>
<div align="center">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i>1.) TIME!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Set aside time each week to focus ONLY on your Social Media accounts. This could be a simple fifteen minutes a day or once a week. Having a "scheduled" time set aside to manage your Social Media will give you the practice and patience to really take your online presence to the next level. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i>2.) INTERACT! </i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Communicating with your fans and followers is key to Social Media. Make sure you are tweeting, liking & supporting posts and updates from your fans and other businesses. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This can really help grow your Social Media and in turn have others interact with your business online.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i>3.) SCHEDULE!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Learn how to use the scheduling features on Facebook and other Social Media management tools such as <a href="http://tweetdeck.com/">Tweet Deck </a>and <a href="http://tweetdeck.com/">Hoot Suite</a>. These tools are amazing for managing sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Blogging sites also offer scheduling options, which is a great idea to manage posts. Such sites</span><span style="font-size: large;"> make having multiple Social Media sites much more </span><span style="font-size: large;">manageable</span><span style="font-size: large;"> when you have a busy week ahead of you and not enough hours in the day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i>4.) LEARN!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Take the time to learn about what is going on in the Social Media world. Set aside some time to do a little research on what works for other similar companies or ask for advice from mentors or business partners and friends. We had so much support when we first started out from other small business owners in our area and learned SO much by reaching out to others and supporting their businesses as well :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i><br /></i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"><b><i>5.) DON'T GIVE UP!</i></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are always weeks that will be slower than others. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Weeks when you will only get a couple "likes" or followers and you might want to give up on Social Media...DON'T!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Your fan base will continue to grow if you put effort into your posts and updates. Remember to keep material interesting for others to keep coming back to YOUR business Social Media sites. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It won't always be easy, but once you get that FIRST customer or new contact from using <b>FREE</b> Social Media, you will see that hard work really does pay off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It should be! {Guest Blogger}<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today we have a very exciting guest post from Adrian Brooks, she also has a passion for Social Media like we do and you can check out her blog with more posts by clicking <a href="http://adrianbrooks10.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/is-your-business-utilizing-social-media-it-should-be/">here</a>!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many
business’ are catching on that the use of social media can immediately boost
their business and become the pinnacle marketing tool they need to reach the
masses. Many of the big corporations are utilizing social media. However, it is
the smaller businesses that have not joined the social media trend because they
may not know where to begin or not grasp how beneficial it really could be.
Though social media marketing is a relatively new idea and perceived as a
younger generation niche, marketing through social media sites is only going to
grow larger and become the only way to market. This being the very reason why
it is important to educate business owners now on how to utilize social media
for their company, before they fall too far behind the trend. Social media
sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and even the new-comer, Pinterest, can be the
only marketing a business will ever need. Making it even easier, is how these
sites now correlate with each other. Gone are the days of commercials and print
marketing. Though they still exist and are used, they are considered ‘out of
touch’ and a slower method within society. Social media has now dominated the marketing
world and is on a fast-track to being the only way of reaching customers, in
the quickest amount time. Technology and social media feed into the fast paced
lifestyle that our society thrives on. We seek information and deals quickly
which businesses on social media can deliver.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Business owners that do not understand the social media world
and may not know where to even begin are seeking help from social media professionals
and marketing organizations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some
businesses, large and small, have even begun hiring social media specialists’
positions as part of their Marketing/Public Relations department. Social media
professionals can give business owners the education and building blocks they
need to help market their business successfully. So business’ owners make sure
you are utilizing social media and reaping the benefits that it can provide to
you and your business!</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today we'll be discussing "branding" and how you can help achieve a strong brand status among your Social Media sites. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can use Social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn all to build your brand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is your "brand" you might ask? Your brand is what consumers think of your business(or you!). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Think of McDonald's, we picture the yellow arches, insurance companies often have catchy tag lines that always remind you of them and cities often have interesting slogans to make an impact on you either the visitor or resident. We recently attended an awesome seminar on "Branding" and came away with so many amazing insights on what truly a "brand" is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You want people to remember <strong>YOUR</strong> brand. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can do this by doing a few things through your Social Media sites to achieve the branding desired. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong>Here are a couple tips I have learned over the past few months:</strong></em></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Make sure your logo, company colors, etc all match. This is the first thing a consumer sees representing your company(and yourself so wear your colors!!) so make it bold and make it something they will grow familiar with when they think of your business. Think of yourself as the brand and the main thing you are "selling" to others. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Use Social Media to interact with your customers/future customers. If you have a "mission statement" or any other tag line use it throughout your different sites to grow your branding and image.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
ALWAYS be a good representative of your brand, whether you work for a company or own your own business, whenever at a business function be professional and through Social Media outlets such as blogging and Facebook/Twitter. Create a separate business account for more professional related contacts and a personal account for home life. This is just our suggestions that have worked for clients.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Remember: You want to be positive, trustworthy and someone YOU would want to do business with. If you don't believe in yourself why would someone else??</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi there!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope everyone is gearing up for a fun Memorial Day weekend :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, we'll be talking about how to use Blogging to grow your business through Social Media. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have found Blogging to be a very valuable(and free!) tool that can be setup through sites like <a href="http://www.blogger.com/">www.blogger.com</a> or <a href="http://www.wordpress.com/">www.wordpress.com</a> to use yet another source of Social Media to connect with your customers(and future customers). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some business owners ask us "What do I blog about"? That is the best part about blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can blog(or write) about anything you desire!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to blog about Social media since that is what my company is about but blogging is a way to communicate through articles and little "blurbs" if you will about topics related to your business. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Different ideas to share on your blog are interesting facts or specials your company is having, articles related to your business industry, news and events or even just insights to what your business offers to clients. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have found blogging a great way to meet more individuals or companies that "follow" along with blog posts and can be potential clients(or just interested readers). Others can share your blog posts which will give your business even more exposure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Been a couple of very busy weeks but hoping to write some more informational articles and eventually host some seminars in the next few months. Today I want to talk about how you can use Social Media to your advantage at a networking event. I go to many networking events and organize them for my daytime job so I have come in contact with many small business owners.<br />
The first thing you want to have done are perhaps some mini flyers or cards you can pass out at these networking events with you Social Media site links on them. You can choose to focus on just Facebook or Twitter to start out(or even your blog link) and hand out these mini advertisements for your Social Media sites to get people interested in <b>"connecting"</b> with you in more ways than through your website or email alone. You can even have a link on your business card if you would like, just something interesting that will catch someones attention and make them want to go look your business up on Social Media perhaps when they go back through their business cards from the networking event.<br />
I think this is a great tool that can be done for a very nominal fee and that will help to get you those new customers that perhaps use Facebook or Twitter a lot and to inform them about your business and what YOU are all about.<br />
Hope this helps and I will be providing more tips in the future.<br />
Please feel free to <b>send your questions our way</b> and we will try our best to answer as many possible in upcoming posts.<br />

Today I will be writing about <a href="https://twitter.com/">Twitter </a>and how you can use it for your business growth. If you already have a Twitter account how often do you "tweet"? I think if you start off by posting tweets about three times a day you are on your way to growing your contacts within twitter and making NEW contacts. <br />
<br />
By tweeting your business specials, information, insights or just responding to your "followers" comments in general you will start to build up your Social Media presence and attract others to your tweets. Being interesting while tweeting is always in your advantage. No one wants to read the same tweets over and over or tweets just about what you offer ALL the time. <br />
<br />
Make your tweets interesting! Post about WHY you started your business or maybe highlight a client of the week or special interest. By keeping others interested in your "tweeting" you will not only gain more clients or contacts but keep yourself involved in the Social Media outlet of Twitter.<br />
<br />
I hope these tips helped today and if your company needs help with setting up a Twitter account or wants to learn how to tweet we can help!<br />

Hi friends!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I will be sharing some tips for using Facebook Fan pages to the advantage of your business Social Media Marketing. </div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When I log into Facebook, I first notice status updates. I am more likely to look at a status update with something interesting like a special or promotion with a picture, then JUST text. I try to tell my clients to put interesting images or even their logo or something seasonal in the tag line of their status update. Put something interesting that YOU think would catch others attention. Using caps or interesting/exciting wording can really make a difference.</span><br />
<br />
I often tell business owners that having a Facebook fan page isn't enough, you have to be active with posting. This will let your customers and future clients know that you are available and interested in communicating with them. There is such a thing as also posting TOO much. <br />
<br />
These are a few tips that I hope you find helpful with your Social Media Marketing.<br />
<br />
Not sure where to start with a Facebook fan page or what to post? <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Friday & hope everyone has a great holiday weekend.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Today I will be writing about Social Media Marketing and provide a few tips of how to make the most of your social media sites. It is not only important in today's business world to HAVE social media for your business, but to be ACTIVE on these sites once they are set up. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Your social media sites will be of no benefit to your company if you don't post on it at least a few times a week and keep up with it. I suggest to my clients to start off by posting two to three times a week on ALL their social media sites(yes blogs too!). I know this might seem like a lot for someone that isn't used to being online as much, but trust me it will not only help your business but help you gain more social media skills to further your growth in today's technology. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Another suggestion I give my clients is to post VALUE over quantity. For instance, don't post continuously about your website or what your services are. Change it up a bit and feature a monthly special or have a "fan" contest on Facebook. It'll keep your customers interested and draw NEW customers into your fan base. Social Media Marketing is different for each company, but consistency always wins. Reach out to your customers and make sure they KNOW you not only care that they choose to do business with you, but that you also appreciate them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">That's my social media advice for the day, keep on being "social". </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Don't forget for the entire month of April, LNT Social Media Training is offering a $99 introductory special, see more information <a href="http://www.lntsocialmediatraining.com/specials.html">here</a>!</span><br />

<br />
Today I thought I would write about my recent findings when having meetings with current/potential clients about their social media needs. The one comment that kept coming up in my meetings was "I just don't know where to start...it's so overwhelming". My response to this comment was always "Begin slowly, gain knowledge about how social media works and start/manage at your own pace". <br />
<br />
I think this is true for business owners that might not be too familiar with social media or how it works in today's business world. Everyone had to start somewhere, no one started out on Facebook or Twitter knowing exactly how to use it or how to gain "likes" or new clients overnight. This has been my advice to my current clients and even potential clients who might be feeling overwhelmed with starting social media for their businesses. <br />
<br />
My advice to them(and you readers) is start with one social media site and grow with what you learn. I recommend starting with a Facebook fan page to my clients. It's a great way to reach a LOT of new customers and gain exposure for your business in so many ways you didn't know were possible. I have helped a few clients over the past week set up their Facebook fan pages and some already have close to 20 "likes" which I think is fantastic! The pure joy I see from my client even getting a simple comment saying how "interesting" they think the business is or that they want more information on their products and services makes me feel very happy and glad I chose this business as a career path. <br />
<br />
LNT Social Media Training CAN help you start your Social Media Marketing at a pace that's good for you. Our website will be going live next week and can't wait to share that with everyone and announce our fantastic and affordable April special. <br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great weekend!<br />
