As I approach my jour­ney to demys­tify social media and how it can be used in busi­ness I look at this mono­lith in the face and pon­der where do I start? I don’t have a map to fol­low and there is an over­load of infor­ma­tion out there. I decided to start with twit­ter as I per­son­ally have some ques­tions I need clarified.

There is a buzz around whether to incor­po­rate social media ℠ in your busi­ness or mar­ket­ing strat­egy. You see com­ments like ‘it is a fad’, ‘I don’t under­stand it’, ‘it is expen­sive’, ‘it is not mea­sur­able’ or ‘what is the ROI?’ So I decided to go on a jour­ney to get to the bot­tom of social media and inves­ti­gate whether it can be use­ful in business

Now that you have an idea of your UBP, know what you want to achieve and under­stand your tar­get market’s needs and wants…how do you get what you want?

By now you should have a bet­ter under­stand­ing of what is unique about you and what you want to achieve. I am now going to address how to define your tar­get audience/market/job. This involves under­stand­ing who or what you want to reach and what they need or want. This usu­ally involves doing some research. Research can be done on the net, phon­ing up a per­son and talk­ing to them or read­ing press or trade journals.
