With an estimated 900 million users on facebook world-wide as of May 2012 and over 140 million active users on twitter, you know you need to be generating some social media posts for your small business. Combined with the fact that it is free to use, how can you ignore this opportunity? But, running a small business is time consuming enough, how do you come up with content for this new source of marketing? Here are a few tips: Is there a link in that? Throughout your day, with everything that you do, be asking yourself, "is there a link in that?"
Ask For Feedback Is there some aspect of your business that you wonder about how the customer experiences it? Ask. Don't forget to use #hashtags on twitter. Plan Ahead If the prospect of posting social media content every day still seems daunting, you can make it easier by setting aside a time to come up with messages you want posted in one sitting for the whole month. Services like Hootsuite allow you to link to and schedule future posts for all of your social media. You may also be relieved to hear according to Chris Luo, the Head of Global SMB Marketing at Facebook, in a webinar I recently attended, it is not necessary to post every day, "at minimum around twice a week is enough." If you post too much you may start to be ignored or appear impersonal.
