8 expert social media tips
It’s time to put your social media life into overdrive and here are eight tips from the experts to fuel your fire. This is the one place where heavy traffic isn't the catalyst to road rage but becoming all the rage.
1. Offer live events on Facebook.
“To provide additional value and fresh ways for your fans to interact with you, periodically conduct live chat sessions or live webinars or teleseminars. My co-author of Facebook Marketing: An Hour a Day, Chris Treadaway, and I recently conducted what we called a ‘flash chat’ in order to crowdsource content for version two of our book,” explained Mari Smith.
2. Help others who aren’t necessarily famous.
Erik Qualman suggests:
“Heed Guy Kawasaki’s advice and select those not on the A-list. The Mari Smiths, Chris Brogans and David Meerman Scotts already are showered with love. Select an up-and-comer, as you will stand out more to that person."
3. Don’t over-focus on marketing.
“All too often, businesses overlook the ’social’ part of the phrase social media marketing and jump straight into the ‘marketing’ part… to their detriment. They forget that social media is dominated by a community of people who have expectations of the various social networks to which they belong. Very often, these expectations do not include having marketing messages jammed down their throats,” explained Hollis Thomases, author of Twitter Marketing: An Hour a Day.
