One more thing before we move on. Sometimes you wouldn’t know it by talking to us marketing types, but, social media isn’t just about marketingBut using it for marketing is what we will be talking about today.
Sometimes “old” marketing is referred to as outbound marketing.Inbound marketing uses many the tools we think of when we think of social media marketing
I find that one of the things that holds folks back from engaging in social media is the question “where do I start?”There are a lot of social sites available and we will talk a little bit about how to choose the right one(s) for you.
So where to start?Going back to our idea about Strategy before Tactics, we should begin our social media activities by listening.I think one of the most important, and often overlooked, things to remember about social media is that it gives us a great ability to listen to what is going on in the market place.
When most of us talk about social media, we are probably talking about what I call the “big four”I’m including blogging because of the crucial role it plays, particularly for professional service firms
Use these listening tools to hear what people are saying about: You, your company, your brand Your competition Products you sell Organizations you belong to People expressing frustrations or problems (I’ve had my house on the market for 8 months and …) Local events
Twitter lets you listen based on keyword, dates, and even in your local area
Who to follow is always a big question when starting to use twitter.In addition to interesting people you found via the twitter searches you set up as part of your listening station, here are some popular resources for finding people to follow
Most CRM systems are building social media integration into their offerings. If you currently use a CRM system, check with your vendor to see what social media features they have and plan to offer
LinkedIn connects to TwitterFacebook app to connect with TwitterTools like Ping.fm allow you to update several accounts at once or individually but from the same interfaceWordpress has a plugin to update twitter when you create a new post

The “yellow books” of the internetSocial because people can leave reviews. Customers searching get “instant referrals”, so you want to encourage your raving fan customers to leave reviews for you.
A blog is a great way to get foundSearch engines love blogs – when they routinely provide relevant (key word rich) content. You don’t have to be a prolific writer, but you do want to post consistently, even if only once or twice a week.Even if people don’t read your blog everyday, chance are they will find it when they search If you don’t have a blog, check out WordpressWordpress.com allows you to set up a blog on their siteMost web hosting services (GoDaddy, Blue Host) have “one-click” installation of Wordpress or you can download from Wordpress.org
Use a reader to keep track of the blogs you followBloglines.com and Google Reader are two popular readers.
Most professionals will start with LinkedInIf you have a LinkedIn profile, when someone Googles your name, one of the top results will be your LinkedIn profile.
