Editor's Notes
- Remember that social media is an inbound type of marketing where you engage your audience You are attracting and pulling people to you based on your content (this is the whole purpose of social media). With social media you are the publisher and are creating content – it has to be engaging if you want people to come back to read more.Remember you want to Connect, Create and Engage!
- Each social media site has a “culture” or focus attached to it. So before you begin on your journey, make sure you have set your goals, know your audience and focus your attention on the best impact then marshall your efforts.Anything you do in social media either adds to your value or takes away from it. So be very clear about what you want to achieve.A few best practices include:Being key word focused – remember you want to be found and without the right key word mix, your presence will go unnoticed.Know your target audience and build your network around that targetFocus attention on the best impact – watch out for the distractions do not let it becoming overwhelming – use control (hard to when you are having fun)Before we look at 4 of the social media sites let’s look at the types of social media available
