Building Social Media Lists
Social media seems to be one of the tools small business owners are using to
build their contact lists. Is a large social media list actually useful or not?
Social Media things to consider -
1 - are you connected to people / businesses that are your target market?
2 - are you able to service your contacts or are they on another continent? It is hard to give a massage to someone in Europe if you are in Toronto.
3 - does anyone ever 'like' or comment or share your info?
4 - is your list growing?
5 - is anyone responding to your posts? calling you / emailing you / signing up for the newsletter / visiting the website
To build your list
1 - follow / connect with people who are your target market
2 - follow / connect with people who can help you with tips or articles that you can share with your clients
3 - invite / follow people - write a short note with the invite that explains how you found them
4 - help other people - "like' or comment on a post when they have an event and help them share the info with more people
5 - occassionally ask people to 'like' or comment on your post (private email or phone call)
6 - let facebook, linked in or twitter search through your email list for friends / contacts who are on social media and send them an invite (you are already connected to them so why not connect on social media?)
7 - go through any new business cards to see who you can connect with on social media
