Notas do Editor
- My original title was – What is social networking and why should you care?But I imagine most of you are here because you want to know if social networking can really help your business grow.The short answer is “Yes.” Social Networking can help your business grow.But only if you take the time to understand it, and put in the effort to leverage it.
- Let’s get the negatives out the way first.Here’s the argument I hear most often when businesspeople discuss whether they should get involved in social media….
- How many of you have said something like this to friends or colleagues?
- Well here are some other “fads”.What do they all have in common?They’re all ways to communicate.And whether you’re trying to attract more clients, keep the ones you already have, or just create a brand for your business – the one thing you need to be very good at is communicating.
- First things first – before deciding whether you want to get all the social media gear you can find and blaze a trail, you need to take a deep breath and think about what you want to get out of all the effort you’re about to put into this.A big mistake people make is to just jump in and start tweeting or creating a Facebook page or slapping up a profile in LinkedIn before thinking about what exactly they hope to gain from each communication tool.Social media is a tool – not a strategy.
- You may have heard the term Web 2.0.Web 1.0 was all about pushing messages out with websites with static content. - How many of you have a Web site? How many update it regularly?What’s different about Web 2.0 is that it pulls people in and is a dialogue between brands and their people..Why is this great? Grows awareness, allows people (volunteers, employees, donors, etc.) to spread the good word. Word of “mouth” marketing is the most beneficial In the end Social Media is a tool to help you reach a goal. It is a support mechanism just like any other marketing tactic, however this one has taken the world by storm and its changing the way people all over the world interact.Is your target audience on SM? If you don’t think it affects set up alerts to listen for your brand or industry. SM is all about conversations, but you can’t be a part of the conversation if you aren’t listening to what is being said.
- How many of you use google to search for people, products, whatever on the Internet?How many of you use google alerts? How many of you have set up a Google profile?
- If anyone searches for your name in google, your profile will always show up at the bottom of the first page of search results.Since most everyone uses google every day, that’s pretty much free advertising. Why not take advantage of it?You can also link to your firm’s Web page, as well as your LinkedIn profile and your online photo albums. People can send you a message without revealing your email address, giving prospects a way to instantly get in touch.And it’s all FREE.
- Pretty impressive statistics, right?The professionals on LinkedIn are exactly the kind of people who could use the help of a financial professional.
- The first order of business when you join LinkedIn is to set up your profile. This is probably the single most important thing you’ll do on LinkedIn so do it with CARE!Look at other profiles to see what you might want to borrow from them.- encapsulate your life here - what do you do that helps clients?What areas do you specialize in?If you were a White House intern, that’s interesting and relevant – even though it may have nothing to do with your current job. It sets you apart.Status updates are the professional equivalent of Facebook musings – only these should only be targeted to business issues. Most of you probably know your colleague Mitch Freedman – here’s one of his recent status updates: “See Dr. Kenneth French at the AICPA PFP Conference. Hear his perspectives on financial regulation – with a link to the conference Web site and brochure.
- This is the CFO group that I joined. These are real financial executives asking real questions. If you can offer ideas or expertise, you can start developing a relationship with them. And you can also learn more about what controllers and CFOs are thinking and worrying about.Don’t just join groups to join them – get active on them and interact with people.
- Where does Denise work?Do I have any contacts who know Denise? – Yes – 7 people! One used to work at JH Cohn so maybe this is a JH Cohn clientDennis Barkey – a former MWE audit manager also knows her. Maybe I should contact him and see if he can make an introduction.And why isn’t she asking her accountant these questions?
- Facebook was started by a Harvard college student as a way to connect with other Harvard students.

- How many of you are on Facebook?I’m not a fan of mixing business contacts and friends on Facebook. In my personal life, I use Facebook as a way to brag about my twins, share pictures and reconnect with people throughout all stages of my life. I may one day reconnect with someone that may turn into a business connection, but it’s not why I’m there.That said, creating fan pages and actually advertising on FB can help a business – especially a small business.By creating a Fan page, you can Must have a page in order to do any of the following. - Note that becoming a fan of a page does not = being a friend. Therefore if you are a fan of your company’s page that does not mean other fans can view your personal information on your own page.Create a page –
