It depends on where your customers are. Each social media platform has it’s strongest attributes, and it attracts people who enjoy the interface. If you are dealing with B2B contacts, Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are great. They will each let you interface with your customer as well.

If you start your social media strategy on a blog platform, (we recommend wordpress), you can hit publish and automate your posts to all of your social media sites. You can choose to spend time interacting on the ones you like, and still have your message in front of the people who like each of the sites.

You can also find out some information about the demographics of each of the sites. What is the age of the average user? Using the Facebook ads system you can find how how many men vs women are within a radius of a zipcode and craft messages specifically to those users. It would make sense to create a strategy, considering who your target customer is, and who the bridges to those customers will be. That can help you determine what sites may need some more of your attention.

Who is your customer, and what is your favorite site to interact with them?

Hey… I saw a Twitter costume at the InSights building once…

Do you like social media? Well we do! What better than to enjoy our love and get a laugh with it. Check out these three social media related comics.

On Twitter

1. Be concise, and save room for the RT to take place “RT @[your handle] “
2. 120 Characters is a good length to allow for the space to RT
3. Use keywords without being overly technical in your tweets
4. When you have loyal followers, ask for RT’s and Comments!
5. Tweet with full words, maybe I don’t know what the abbreviation is, so the content will be lost on me
6. Tweet at the right time to engage your audience – mid morning for business posts, evenings/weekends for inspiration and entertainment based posts
7. If applicable, use words like insights, analysis, and opinion. Posts with these words get more views and links.
8. Write to your audience, and run it through the you/me filter
9. People love bullet lists of information, 10 tips to a better…5 steps to…
10. Add your commentary to posts you RT, “awesome, check it out” or “You will want to read this!”

With social media the way we communicate, it’s going to be huge real estate for ads that play during the game.

Here’s a preview of some of the ads, and a discussion on the Today Show with Sally Hogshead:

Self Paced Social Media Coaching with the InSights Group

Have you been struggling to wrap your head around social media? Do you see other people building a business on Facebook and wonder how they do it? Have you tried to learn social media by studying, reading and trial and error?

The good news is, it doesn’t have to be hard, overwhelming or time consuming! Our winning self study training and coaching program for social media is designed for busy people who need to learn it, do it, and see real results. The businesses and individuals we have enrolled are absolutely raving about it.

“After spending hundreds of hours and countless thousands of dollars over three decades of dentistry trying to ethically market my practice, the “experts” with their marketing “formulas” were both unsuccessful and artificial.

Allan and Sandi offer a logical, yet revolutionary approach for promoting your
practice with integrity and unique personalization. Their concepts give you the
opportunity to present your authentic personality and services to a virtually limitless
audience, giving those in your community a true opportunity to beat a path to
your door.”

What makes this approach different?

We’ve broken down social media training into weekly email lessons that include:

• Information —  real insights from real social media experts
• Action items —  with full instructions so you can quickly do them yourself
• Accountability —  the missing link in so many “self study” courses
• Live coaching — real social media experts at InSights Group

The weekly lessons are a combination of audio, video and written information, with tutorial-style examples. The action items are designed to get you working in social media quickly, and the accountability items give you that extra push so many busy people need to keep going. Direct feedback and personal coaching from your social coach helps you tie it all together and build a greater understanding of how social marketing drives today’s business engine.

Take a peek at one of our lessons, to get a better idea of what you’ll get:

Week 1: Social Media Getting Started

Week 5: Lesson 5: Facebook

At InSights Group, we use social media all day every day. We understand it’s a bit overwhelming at times for people who have full time day jobs — or full time businesses — to figure out how to maximize time and results. This system helps to simplify the process, and get your social media efforts focused.

It’s a great place to start building a foundation for the rest of your marketing efforts, and we’d love to get you started right away!

Meet one of our successful program graduates, Betsy Rackliffe

I use social media. I use Facebook and Twitter to market my company and to keep at time-of-mind-awareness. I use it to build my confidence and InSights program was the first thing I did, even with in the first week, when I opened my company. Sandi and Al are my business coaches; and the InSights community is my cheerleader. I have gone from a shy, self-sabotaging, want-to-be designer to the confident smiling eclectic designer.  My name is becoming known in the area and my calendar is full. I am creating retail spaces, home offices, staging homes and warming up homes every day.

I have created a website based around a blog that showcases my interior design work, my design ideas, and other professionals I recommend for your home. Having the site has changed how I think about my projects. I think of them as ways to promote my business; “How can I use this project to showcase what I do?”

How much time is involved?

Expect to spend about an hour a week on the lesson and the action items – this is focused time actually engaging in social media, vs. trying to find out what you need to know. Learn it, then take immediate action. We’ve made it simple.

Start right now building a foundation for the rest of your marketing efforts. As a successful business owner or entrepreneur, you deserve the personal attention and expert training advice that will move your marketing efforts forward. Get individualized, expert coaching that helps you achieve your goals whether they are new client acquisition, an increase in bottom line revenue, or recognition in your local community.

Weekly Self Study Coaching Lessons {SM 100}

Each client we work with is unique; you’ll tackle each of the stages of social media at your own pace. Our program is continuously modified based on your feedback and with the results of each training, so it is your responsibility to keep us updated on how the training is going.

Unlike other coaching programs, we don’t limit the number of phone calls or e-mails from our clients.

Here’s another list of 10 reasons why your company should blog.
