Networking Tip #09
Smile Power
Positive Networking starts with a smile. You smile at someone, and they smile back. It's automatic because the brain is hard-wired to function this way. A smile opens up the door to friendly communication. It's your best networking asset. Never leave home without it. |

"Tips for Social Media"
Submitted by: Cheri Martin
Social Media Coach- WCN Interactive, Inc.
Last month we shared information about the new Facebook Timeline, how to create your cover image and Timeline plus the guidelines set by Facebook so you can stay in compliance. Now that you have updated your Page and added some milestones, what more can you do to attract new 'fans' or, better yet, keep your fans engaged?
Know why you have your business on Facebook; what do you want to 'get' out of it and then, most important, what do you want your fans to 'get' out of it! Having an objective and strategy will keep you focused. Many businesses that set up a Facebook presence aren't sure why; they create their Page, begin promoting it by inviting their friends to 'LIKE' them, don't consistently post content, don't respond to those that comment on it, or worse yet they keep their wall closed so their fans can not write on it..... That is like announcing a Grand Opening for your business and when your customers arrive at your door they can't get in because the door is locked!
Remember, it is not all about you; your fans don't want to connect with your logo, or read all about you, they want to talk with you. Make it fun, be authentic and have real conversations that help your fans take action. Don't be worried about giving 'stuff' away for free, understand that the more you share, educate and respond, the more your fans will trust you. Make it all about your fans and they will become your brand ambassadors!
For more conversation with the Melbourne Regional Chamber be sure to 'LIKE' us: www.facebook.com/MelbourneRegionalChamber. All members are welcome to post your Page to our wall so we can 'LIKE' you and promote you, too. |
