- 5. Before You Start… • A Facebook Page might not work for every business. • Is Facebook best suited to your biz objectives? • Are your customers already on Facebook? • Don’t be afraid to ask for advice or borrow ideas. • Why is this good for my business? • Do what you can really do!
- 6. Ask Questions as you Build • Who is your target audience? • What do you want to achieve with your Facebook page? • How much time are you able to devote to Social Media? • Be efficient. • How will you track the results?
- 7. Create Your Social Voice • By creating a unique voice on your Social Media Platforms, you give your brand an inviting human touch. • “Dialogue not a monologue” – Entertain, communicate, and gain trust. • Make it personal – connect with your community with sincere posts, humor and thought sharing. • Ask questions and engage. • Offer solutions & be helpful. Don’t sell.

- 9. Understand the Basics • Learn About Social Media for Business. • Anyone can have a Facebook account, but not everyone can execute a Social Media Business Plan. • Being an expert requires constant self-education. • Subscribe to blogs with helpful tips.
- 10. Source Content • Make a list of all your resources for content (blogs, website, pictures, articles about industry topics/ your preferred publishers). • Determine what content you can create. – Should you publish more of your own blog posts? Can you do 1 per week? Per month? – Should you assign a photographer at your next event? Outing? • What else can you share? (We’re a lumber yard – Can we share home remodeling stories? DIY?)
- 11. Create a Plan • Determine which networks you will be active on and how often. • Here’s an example: Number of Interactions Promoted Posts Posts Twitter 2 per day 2 per day 1 per month Facebook 1 per day 2 per day 1 per month • Set a reminder each month to track success.
- 12. It Takes a Commitment • This is the biggest challenge for many small businesses. • Schedule the time needed in your calendar. • Small staff? Share the responsibility. • Leverage your employees’ own social presence.
