Social Media is still a new con­cept to many com­pa­nies and there are still many peo­ple not con­vinced that it can work for them. Then there are com­pa­nies that have embraced it and man­age­ment are enthu­si­as­tic and totally into Social Media. This arti­cle is aimed at peo­ple who have dis­cov­ered social media and believe that it can work for their com­pany, but their man­age­ment are either less than enthu­si­as­tic or per­haps almost in the dark about social media.

The first and prob­a­bly the most impor­tant thing to be able to con­vince man­age­ment that social media is for your busi­ness is Click Here To Read More

Those of us using Social Media know how effec­tive it can be in dri­ving traf­fic to one’s web­site. But, unlike some make out, it does require ongo­ing effort and per­se­ver­ance. Social Media is not the secret ingre­di­ent to instant suc­cess, how­ever, it is a pow­er­ful tool when com­bined with a focused strat­egy and the com­mit­ment to carry it out.

In today’s world of cyber­space we all con­nect and make friends across the globe. Con­nec­tions we prob­a­bly would never have had before the advent of the Inter­net. We have all heard of hor­ror sto­ries of peo­ple being conned, stalked or even mur­dered through some­one they met on Face­book or some other social net­work. Per­son­ally, I am not sure that the num­bers are higher than this hap­pen­ing from face-to-face or per­sonal con­nec­tion (in other words not via the Inter­net) – in fact my guess is that it is less (I am not refer­ring to hack­ing or phishing).

Imag­ine if we could map out the Inter­net – what would it look like? Well I had a pic­ture in my head that resem­bled a pic­ture with a few big web­sites, almost like cities, and almost a radial affect get­ting smaller. So I went onto Google and had a look. The pic­tures I found are almost like look­ing out into space. So what does this have to do with social net­works and media?

I imag­ine that social net­works map­ping has it’s own galaxy in those maps and I have used the phrase before: that you can get lost in the infin­ity that is the Inter­net and I believe the same goes for social net­works and media.

An objec­tion we often see to Social Media and Net­work­ing is that it takes too much time for the results. Now I agree that this can be true if you are not on a clear path. Here is what I sug­gest you do to avoid it becom­ing a time sink: Click Here To Read More

In a pre­vi­ous arti­cle about choos­ing between all those other social net­works I high­lighted how many other social net­works there are aside from the main play­ers and link to a num­ber of resources. Weekly, I am invited to join new social net­works or groups or hear about new ones pop­ping up.

The prob­lem is choos­ing which ones to belong to. You will have often read that the word “rel­e­vant” in my arti­cles, so how do you choose or even know what is rel­e­vant? You may have heard go where your tar­get mar­ket is, but how do you know whether they are using a par­tic­u­lar social net­work or medium with­out doing expen­sive research?

Find­ing rel­e­vant net­works could take a lot of work and effort if you go by trial and error and most of us just don’t have that sort of time. Even I, some­times, won­der whether I could be miss­ing out by not join­ing a group I was invited to – but that is just good sell­ing. Here is my advice for choos­ing rel­e­vant social net­works or medi­ums: Click Here To Read More
