On 02.04.13, In Social Media, by AnneSocial Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, You-Tube, Pinterest and Linkedin have become some of the most valuable and effective tools in today’s Online Marketing Business World. If used correctly, Social Media Marketing can have an extremely positive impact on the growth and fate of your Online or Offline business. Consequently, if used improperly, it can create disastrous and unfortunate results, and suck a whole bunch of $$ from you.
Social media has quickly replaced porn and become the #1 activity on the web. Facebook, Twitter, You-Tube, Linkedin and Blogger have allowed friends as well as strangers to connect, share, interact and discuss virtually anything…from recipes and Rock-stars…to grandchildren and gaming.
Sometimes folks tend to forget that social media sites are a place to interact and to build healthy relationships with people. There is a reason social media marketing is known as relationship marketing. Spamming and slamming folks with your business opportunity links is a sure fire way to be labeled as a social media douchebag.
Here are some other ways to qualify for “Social Media Douchebaggery:”
- Your sole purpose to connect with new friends is for self promotion or to make $$ on them.
- Slapping your business opportunity on someone’s wall as soon as they confirm you as a friend. That’s like walking into someone’s home without even saying hello. My advice to you is…Make like Frogger and “Go play in traffic.”
- Offering FREE, FREE, FREE stuff repeatedly to someone. Here’s an eye opener for you. FREE is not really FREE. Why you ask? Because my time costs $$$ and If I’m going to look at your FREE stuff…it better be worth my time in Gold. If folks really want your FREE stuff, they will find a way to hunt you down and get it. Stop shoving it in their faces.
- Add friends to your FB or Twitter, then never interact with that person again. Thanks, Douchebagger…glad I boosted your social media numbers for you.
- Spewing about your drunkin’ weekend shenanigans. I’m not sure what kind of value that adds to boost your credibility, integrity and reputation…when you figure it out, let me know.
- Using profanity and racial slurs (self explanatory).
- Never engaging in conversation with others. Social media interaction is a prerequisite if you want to make a “splash” in the social media marketing world.
It’s important that you position yourself to be an expert so that your audience will learn to trust your advice. Whatever you do, you must avoid spamming. Your content should strive to provide value, engage and enrich. If you want to convert visitors into customers, always follow up with connections.
If you use social media the correct way, it can be an incredible tool to spread the word about your Company, brand or product. Consequently, one mistake can tarnish your reputation, credibility and integrity, and should never be underestimated.
Common Sense Is Key.
Remember, your social media reputation is your digital signature. Be conscientious when using it….and remember the Social Media Golden Rule:
“Tweet Others the Way You Would Want to be Tweeted”
