Editor's Notes

- Search is one of the most important ways that businesses are discovered. Be sure they find you before the other company or person with the same name as you.
- There are many more places you can be online – but make sure you have complete professional profiles on these sites first.
- One of the important goals when using Social Media is to be found in search results. This is part of my first page on Google Search searching my name. I have more than four pages with links to my Social Media and my website www.SocialMediaMadeSimple.info
- This map shows the basics that must be on a professional website no matter the business. As a writer, you will want to have your books for sale, perhaps with a link to Amazon . Yes, I want you to have your actual email; you are a business. Hiding your information behind a form is counterproductive – you want your fans to reach out to you. Links to all of your Social Media address is crucial to building your audience.
- The green bubbles tell you what to do on your blog The other bubbles give you options on how and where to post your blog.
- Facebook Page is for business – use your branding to make a statement. Post about your writing. Create an event for book signings. Communicate with your fans.
- LinkedIn has the most amount of information about you and your work. This is your Resume online. This is a professional social media site; you can meet people who can help you and those you can help. When writing out your Summary be sure to write as if you are meeting a person at a networking event rather than formal business writing. In addition, be sure to include keywords.
- Twitter is the most misunderstood social media site. It is a great site to push out information and often you do not need to go to Twitter to do so. LinkedIn will send your posts to Twitter - two for one. Twitter is a great search engine to find out what is trending. Also, you can search Twitter using keywords search.twitter.com
- Pinterest is the most visual and fun site for me. But it is also a great way to get the word out about your publications, books, blogs, articles. Always include a link to your website or blog and the whole address http://www.socialmediamadesimple.info
- Create a Board for each publication, Book, article and Blog then add supporting information – photos, graphs, illustrations etc.
- Google+ is still the geek and nerd
- Just another place to show up on the Internet.
- The YouTube Channel where you save your videos and the videos of people, organizations and causes you admire and support.
- Or just search Google
