SOCIAL MEDIA TO GROW YOUR BUSINESSIn the age of social media, blog posts, articles, videos, and more get shared easilyand effectively with just a click of a button. This helps to get the word out about whoyou are and what you do to a much larger audience than who you know directly.If you are mixing with the cool kids on social media, then you’ll also know that it cansuck up A LOT of your time. To the point where you wake up every morning, and feellike you need to check your Facebook account first, rather than kiss you husband,wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend first.Stop playin’, you know social media is as addicting as hell.For that reason, business owners like us, who have to dedicate a lot of time tobuilding our businesses, need to have self control on how often we are active onsocial media and use our time there efficiently.If you are starting your business, I would recommend picking TWO social mediastreams to start with. Yes, TWO. It can get way too hectic and overwhelming to startwith more than that. You’ve got other shit to do, and you can always add morestreams later on when needed.So pick the two between all the delicious streams like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest,Instagram, etc. I myself only usually use Facebook and Twitter, but I’ve beenexperimenting with Instagram lately.How to schedule your weekly posts like a boss:I love to reserve Mondays or Fridays (beginning or end of your week) to dedicate 1-2hours to PRE-schedule all my social media postings for the week. I usually doanywhere between 1-2 posts per day, as I have clients from different time zones, butonce per day is also fine.My favourite right now, is this one:Buffer | http://www.bufferapp.comI friggin LOVE this app. What won me over? How easy and fast the app is, and thefact that it offers SUGGESTIONS for posts that are in the category of your type ofcontent…genius! And not to mention the amazing customer service they provide.And best of all…absolutely FREE for up to 2 social media accounts.How to use social media to engage your audience:In order to use social media effectively, and to get the most out of the time and effortinvested in using it, you’re going to have to engage your audience to share, like, retweet,etc. the content you are posting.The Must-Haves of a Successful Online Business | www.ScrewTheCubicle.com
