Jump Start Your Social Media Presence

Five simple steps to jump start your social media presence

You can’t have failed to notice that social media is everywhere these days, from celebrities to businesses, social media is the ‘IN’ thing, and a fair number of us are addicted to it without even noticing!

It’s because of this popularity, and the fact that people seem to check their social media  accounts more than their email inbox, that businesses have grabbed onto the theme, recognising the huge potential for growth by manipulating these sites to reach a far wider audience.

If you’re just starting up your business, or you’re recognising this door to further customers for the first time, let’s look at a few ways you can jump start your social media presence, and kick start your business as a result.

Make it a priority

Basically, you can’t view social media as an airy-fairy kind of thing, it needs to be understood, recognised as important, and made a priority. If you’re not sure how it all works, the team at Easy Consulting can set it up and handle that side of the business for you, taking that worry out of your hands. Put simply, social media is a way to reach out to a far bigger audience, and you should have money signs in your eyes as a result. Word of mouth, repeat business, new customers, these are all very possible.

Don’t over do it

Whilst you want to reach out to as many platforms as possible, remember that there is a limit, and overkill is not the way to charm your audience! Start with one platform and work that to its max, before branching out – think baby steps. Connecting on a personal level, which is what social media does, can seem false if it’s done in a too-corporate kind of way.

Promote, promote, promote!

Whilst we’ve said don’t over do it, you do have to promote as much as you can; it’s a fine line, I think you’ll agree! A good way to jump start your social media presence, is to have links to your Facebook, Google Plus and Twitter page on your website, print your social media addresses on your business cards, do online newsletters, get tweeting on Twitter, comment on similar blogs and leave your blog address or Facebook address at the bottom of your comment, it’s basically about being subtle, but direct.

These are just a few ways that, when taken on-board, will help you to jump start your social media presence in the online world. Seen as young, hip, and bang on trend, social media will not only do a lot for your company image, but will also secure you more business than any of the old-fashioned marketing ploys you’ve seen before.
