Getting "Social" in February and Setting Goals!

via

 

 

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!

 

Start off with gathering your list of goals (if you haven't made one yet, no worries create one now-it's not too late) for 2013.

 

Now read each goal and think "how am I going to accomplish these goals?"

 

You need a game plan, as with anything.

 

Start out small and work your way up to the largest goal, or go in the opposite pattern up to you.

 

I like to write a list of GOALS rather then resolutions each January because then they seem more "approachable" and "do-able" to me!

 

More of a "to do" list but with a positive spin on it.

 

A few of my business goals this year are the following~

 

*Keep learning more about the ever-changing world of social media, so I can keep my clients up to date.

 

*Gain at least 5+ new clients each month.

 

*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.

 

*Continue to grow my brand by also increasing my fans on ALL social media sites.

 

*Create a monthly e-newsletter and keep up with it (and make it interesting to my clients and business contacts).

 

Those are just a few of mine, how about yours?

 

Is social media on your list?

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.

Social Media {Networking}

Hi again~

Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day off and we're excited today to share some networking tips for Social Media!

{via}

Your Social Media Network is a very important tool that can be used to not only get NEW business and clients but manage and maintain current clients and contacts.

Networking through Social Media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others can help you in this process daily!

Here are a few tips we found helpful when networking through "Social Media"~

*Start with your own personal network and grow your contacts from it! 

You can communicate with others you are already linked to and find out about networking groups and how to really become active in the community you already belong to.

This will lead to other networking opportunities, take the risk!

*Join FREE online networking groups and become ACTIVE. 

This is so important especially for a new businesses(like us). 

Joining a networking group and interacting with others could bring you not only new clients but friendships and mentors that can offer help and suggestions to you. 

* Don't just limit yourself to ONE networking group. 

Don't be afraid to put yourself out there and make sure your business has a presence you can grow on many Social Media networking sites. 

We have found this very helpful when posting information we think that others might find interesting or want to pass along to their clients.

* It's not ALWAYS about the number!

As a new(er) business we had to really try to grow our Social Media presence and quickly. 

We recently hit 100 "likes" on Facebook and over 100 followers on Twitter and we are continuing to try to grow those numbers daily. 

The important thing to remember though is that you want to be able to manage and communicate with your "followers" and have them interested in what you are posting. 

That's it for today!
