Notes de l'éditeur
Opening activity – Ask the following questions:How many of you have clicked on something of interest shared by a connection of yours on SM?How many of you share things you find on the internet with the sharing buttons?How many of you have liked a business page?How many of you have used social media as a way to “research” a business service you are interested in?
Why social media
3Q 2011 social media report from Nielsen. Also numbers from Top Dog Social Media
Authority websites mean that their content is instantly index by Google and held with higher relevance. First page search results of your name and business lists your social media. Establish unique username (name of business) immediately for all popular social media so it cannot be captured and used by others.Facebook is top referrer, then twitter, and linkedin. Google is feeling the impact. Social media provides personal endorsements. Referrals can only happen when backlinks to your website are available. Since 40% of social media is accessed through phones, what happens when someone clicks the links to your website? Do you have a mobile friendly version ready?You’ve probably noticed everywhere how you can login with social media, and share anything of interest with your social media. On the internet it is almost inescapable, people expect to use it!
Inbound marketing is the modern approach to marketing today. It’s setting yourself up to be easily found by those who want you. This aligns perfectly with a niche business structure – being a resource, high value service packages, and strategic relationships.Keys to inbound marketing is the website acting as a hub with spokes leading in from social media, search engine keywords, blogsphere, other websites, and your own email list.Outbound marketing is focused on throwing a message out to a wide audience and hoping it sticks. However, today’s world is inundated with this kind of marketing. It’s hard to get noticed.Inbound marketing focuses on long-term strategies and should be the primary means of your marketing approach.
The “about” space on any profile should contain all contact information. Make phone number, email, website, and physical address (if applicable) the priority. Add info about other social media profile if possible.
ROI – argued as impossible to really measure due to complexity of network. Can set goal for Return-on-interaction. Also, can prove ROI on a one or two case basis.Engagement is always more valuable than numbers.
Present how this works going backwards (middle and outwards). Then return going outside in talking about conversion.Points – Conversion rates at each level, need for sales skill to close the deal, goals of the social media affect conversion (resources vs lead generation)Similar process to finding strategic alliances except probably no sales.
Personal or profession – decide pros and cons then stick with it.
