20 Social Media Tips for 2020
1 - Keep your business and personal posts separate. A few posts that show you have personality are great but if every second post is personal then your target market may get distracted and forget what you do for business.
2 - Build your list. Posting to 20 people means that only 20 people will see your post - grow your list.
3 - Start a group - use your business name and start a group.
4 - Start a business page - use your business name to start a business page.
5 - Join other groups and review their guidelines. Can you post tips and hints? Can you post advertisments?
6 - Join other business pages, especially the ones of business friends who may help share your messages.
7 - When someone asks you to join their group or follow their business page - do it and then send them a private message "I followed your page, please consider following mine at https://www.facebook.com/FitForBusinessConsulting/ "
8 - Be helpful in 9 out of 10 posts.
9 - 10th post can be an advertisement.
10 - Use pictures and /or coloured backgrounds.
11 - Stay positive - if you always complain then you send out negative energy and people prefer to buy from people who are positive.
12 - Be timely - if it is the holiday season then include that in your post.
13 - Try videos - they can be short and sweet - 2 minutes. Whether it is a facebook live or a You Tube video link, they add extra energy and attract more viewers to your post.
14 - like / comment / share - if you help your contacts share their information then they will help share your contact info once in awhile.
15 - Set up an event - you can set up a facebook event and you can invite your contacts to the event. They will receive an email to the event but may not receive emails for individual posts.
16 - Post regularly - try to post daily.
17 - Post a link to your blog or newsletter articles.
18 - Be sure to remind people to go to your website and sign up for your newsletter. If the social media site ever closes down you do not want to lose all of your contacts.
19 - Check the inbound messages in your account regularly in case you have a lead. You can also send private messages to people who seem interested in your posts.
20 - Remember that social media is part of your marketing plan - not your whole marketing plan so you should still meet people in person, phone people and email people individually. Consider getting a booth at a business tradeshow or a commuity event to introduce your business and use your social media accounts to stay connected and build your business relationships.
