Social Media & YOUR Business: 5 Helpful Tips

Fall is in full swing and LNT Social Media Training has been keeping busy lately with lots of exciting new clients!

Today, we would like to share 5 helpful tips to kick start

Social Media for YOUR business...

via

1.) TIME!

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. 

2.) INTERACT! 

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. 

This can really help grow your Social Media and in turn have others interact with your business online.

3.) SCHEDULE!

Learn how to use the scheduling features on Facebook and other Social Media management tools such as Tweet Deck and Hoot Suite. These tools are amazing for managing sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. 

Blogging sites also offer scheduling options, which is a great idea to manage posts. Such sites make having multiple Social Media sites much more manageable when you have a busy week ahead of you and not enough hours in the day. 

4.) LEARN!

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 :-)

5.) DON'T GIVE UP!

There are always weeks that will be slower than others. 

Weeks when you will only get a couple "likes" or followers and you might want to give up on Social Media...DON'T!

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. 

It won't always be easy, but once you get that FIRST customer or new contact from using FREE Social Media, you will see that hard work really does pay off.

LinkedIn Connections

Hope everyone had a great week!

Today I will be discussing LinkedIn and how it can help you as a business professional. LinkedIn is often described as the "World's Largest Social Network" and you don't want to miss out on this free social media tool.

Are you currently on LinkedIn? I am and let me tell you all of the great connections I've made in the business community have really helped my business and personal career growth!
LinkedIn is a tool that many individuals use to not only "connect" with other business professionals, but to post a resume, recommendations from connections, post events, promote businesses and get the inside scoop to what is going on in the business community through the discussion forums.

You can make a LinkedIn group page to promote your business in just a few easy steps. Then by posting events, updates and adding members you can have another form of social media to attract potential clients and keep your current clients interested.

I have learned that LinkedIn can be such a valuable tool in today's society just because of the connections alone you can make. Many CEO's and very important business professionals have LinkedIn and you can use your business "group" page to get their attention.

If you need help creating or learning how to use your current LinkedIn account please contact LNT Social Media Training, WE can help you with all the tools you need to become a "LinkedIn" expert!
