Social Media - Are You Internet Attractive?
1.
Are you consistently visible? Your message has to be seen and heard consistently.
Not every now and then, but ALL the time.
You have to continuously put out new content so that you're always current and visible.
2.
Are you listening to what others are saying? You've heard that old saying before...
We were given two ears and one mouth for a reason.
Whenever you go to a social gathering, you always show yourself friendly first.
You mix and mingle with the guests before you start shouting about yourself.
3.
Are you giving as much or more than you're taking from your Social Media Community? This one is very important.
So you may be wondering...
what could you possibly give? How about advice, ideas, encouragement, good news, words of appreciation to those who have given to you already...
and the list could go on forever.
You don't want to get a bad rep of always begging and asking...
but be a giver and watch it come back to you.
4.
Are you joining groups that interest you? Where will you find people to socialize with? If you love fishing but hate golf, where do you think you should go? Groups can really help you to develop in many ways, especially if the group is specific to your interests.
You can always learn something that you don't know from someone else...
and what better place to connect with those of a like mind.
5.
Do you attend events? Especially those networking groups.
What a really fun way to connect (in person) with those you share your interests.
Another great way to learn and grow.
You can even find some really cool events online.
Find one's that interest you and become a little social butterfly! 6.
Do you value those that you currently work with? When you do connect with people, what's your experience? What's your reason.
If the befriend you, do you befriend them back? If they share with you, do you share back? When you post information, does it benefit anyone other than you? Do you realize that at the end of the day, whoever gives the most value wins? Its true.
7.
Are you "over-killing" your media site memberships? There are more that 3500 social media sites out there.
And while its been taught that you want to be seen all over the Internet, and you do...
do you realize that around 10 that you really work should be your max? And even better...
just 5 to 7.
That is "primary" sites that you will actually participate heavily in.
Yes, go for the 50 secondary sites and automate them through ping.
fm, but just use them for link building and traffic purposes.
But find your "core" group of sites and don't be a stranger.
Heck, Facebook alone could keep you busy all day!! 8.
Are you "over-monetizing" your site? Yes, we know that there's nothing wrong with monetizing.
You SHOULD do it, but...
let's not get too carried away.
Again, if you come across as trying to bleed your friends and visitors to death, they'll stop visiting you.
It's just not a good idea to put over emphasize or be too blatant with it.
Remember...
focus on giving before you receive.
It will take you a long way.
9.
Do you believe that you're just as special as all the Guru's you see online? Don't fall into that trap of thinking that you're a "nobody" just because you haven't hit the million yet.
That's not just for other people.
It can be for you too.
If you can realize the greatness that you have on the inside, then social media can take you a very long way.
10.
Are you Branding Yourself Strongly? Your "Brand" is WHO YOU ARE online.
It's the only way that people get to know and remember you.
Now here's the million dollar question.
What will they remember? Find your "punch line" like the ones we all remember from TV commercials.
"Where's the beef" "can you hear me now...
"you asked for it, you got it...
Toyota, and my all-time favorite...
"Just Do It" Wouldn't it be great when your name is all it takes to brand you...
as in..
..
TRUMP! Work on finding the perfect slogan or phrase to brand what you represent and use it, use it, use it!! Yes, there are other questions we could ask you, but let's start with these.
Social Media can take you far, but only as far as you let it.
Review this list one more time.
Things that aren't broken, leave them alone, but if it needs to be fixed..
..
You know what to do!
