The Importance of Being Social with Social Media

Posted on June 28th, 2011 by

They don’t call it “social” media for nothing. It doesn’t matter whether you’re an individual, a small business, or a large corporation; social media is about interaction. So instead of sitting back and watching all the action happen, get in on it. Got a Twitter account? Pay attention to what your followers are saying. Let them know you’re listening and get in on the conversation. There are so many people out there to connect with and learn from. Don’t let them get away. Social media gives you access to millions of people that you would otherwise never know, but because of modern technology, now have the opportunity to not only connect with, but build real relationships with. Relationships that could potentially help you reach your own goals.

So what’s the first step to getting involved? See what people are talking about and decide what you can contribute to the conversation. Or better yet, start a conversation! Ask questions. Answer questions. Help someone solve a problem. Retweet an article. Comment on a blog. Show people what you know. Sometimes it’s okay to just sit back and observe what’s going on around you, but you will gain so much more by talking to people. So quit being a wallflower and get social. You won’t be disappointed.

How to Spice Up Your Company Twitter

Posted on June 24th, 2011 by

There are nearly 200 million people currently on Twitter. That’s a heck of a lot of competition for followers. So how do you stand out? Follow these tips if you want to be a super influencer on Twitter.

1)   Promote original content. Show your followers who you are and what you can do.

2)   Find a voice. Be yourself. Be personable. Nobody wants to talk to a robot. Make yourself unique. Why should someone follow you and not some other guy who talks about the exact same things? Because YOU have the more attractive personality.

3)   Be Chatty. Twitter is about being social. Talk to your followers. Ask questions. Answer questions. Retweet your friends. Participate in Twitter chats. Use Hash Tags.

4)   Share the content of others. Shows that you’re paying attention to what other people are saying. They’ll thank you for it.

5)   Brand your Twitter page. Create a customized background. Have it reflect your personality and your brand. Make it look like you plan to sit down and stay awhile. Twitter is just another one of your online homes. It should reflect you, your business and what you’re trying to represent.

6)   Mix it up! Don’t post all links. Don’t just reply to people. Don’t just share other links. It’s a combination of all of these components that will make your Twitter one to follow.

The key to keeping people interested in you on Twitter is by filling a need or desire. They want someone to talk to. Someone to learn from. Someone to share with. Give them a good variety of things to interact with you about and they’ll stay interested. The last thing you want is to get a good followers that leaves after a while because they’re just bored of your tweets. So keep your tweets fresh, unique and relevant and you’ll be sure to get not just a big following, but a genuinely interested following. Maybe you’ll even learn a thing or two from them.
