Dangerous Dialogue

ʻ̒I’ll start a Facebook Page because I know everyone else has one, but I don’t have the time to put too much focus into this.

Whoever invented the term "social media" didn't do the world a favor...ʻ̒

Think of social media as a channel of communication (like a telephone)- not as a form of media like a TV commercial.

And when's the last time a CEO asked, "How are we monetizing the telephone?" And has a CEO ever threatened to not invest in phones because the company can't make money off of them?

and brand awareness.

QUICK TIP:

Actively drive traffic to Facebook. Start by determining where your current referrals are coming from, and then ask yourself whether you’re doing all of the following:

© 2012 Amy Porterfield, Inc.

Is my Page optimized?

Am I optimizing my Facebook Page so that when Google indexes Facebook, users find my Page too?

Make sure to include keyword-rich information on your “Info Tab” to help users find you easily.

Am I doing enough outside of Facebook to drive traffic?

• Guest blog posting on highly trafficked blogs

• Webinars

• Teleseminars

• Interviews

• Free online trainings

• Q&A sessions

Does my website account for some of my referrals?

If not, make some changes to your business site. Add a Like box social plugin, include share buttons, and of course, display your social icons in a visible place on every page.

Re-Engage Your FansWith Facebook Ads

• Catch 22 - no engagement means no newsfeed, which then means you can’t increase your engagement!

• “Page Post Ads” help you re-connect with your existing fans

• Carefully craft your posts to ensure your ad will look great

• Change it out often to keep their attention

Integrate Your Social Media

ʻ̒The old mantra of ‘be everywhere’ will quickly be replaced with 'be where it matters to our business.'

—Mike Stelzner, Founder of Social Media Examiner

Dominate vs. Dilute

Focus where you'll see results. When you master your engagement style, there's no need to be a jack of all trades.

When You Integrate, Engagement Comes Naturally

Become a Rebel on Google+

Google+ is still new enough for your business to claim its space and become a thought leader in your industry.

YOU can still make a huge impact before your competition does.
