5 best practices to get the most out of Social Media

Here is a list of the five best practices to get
the most out of your social media.
1. Always respond.
To the good and the bad.
Let your audience know that you're there with
them. Let them feel like they have a direct line
to the show hosts.
2. Listen Intently.
This is a huge mistake most
people make. They want to push their own
agenda and it doesn't work. This audience is
the key to success, and they're telling you
exactly what they want. "Give the people what
they want!"
3. Be consistent.
So many who have failed
did so because they didn't adhere to this rule.
Update consistently and produce fresh content
on a schedule. People come back when they
know they could be missing something. Humans
are creatures of habit. Help your audience
create a habit out of you.
4. Content is King.
Today, he/she who has the gold does not make
the rules. They simply have more money to
create more content! Status updates, photos,
blog posts, events, episodes, shout outs,
discussion boards, press releases and articles
(like how to guides). All of it is content, and
you should always be adding more.
5. Create Value in Everything.
This especially applies to rules two and four.
Always be sure what you're posting has some
type of appeal to your audience. Find out what
they want and tailor your content accordingly.
When people find value in what you're saying
they post comments, share it and make it viral,
and that's the goal!
Happy Marketing,
