Thanks for being here today. I am sandi sturm, project manager at Alaskarama Web Marketing. We have a goal here to help small businesses succeed by helping them get found online and converting visitors into leads. Today we are talking about Facebook and how it works for small businesses.
Here are the topics of today.
Before we get started I would like to review what inbound marketing consists of and how social media fits into the equation.
Part of getting found is to promote all the great content and offers that you create.
Once they find you, there needs to be ways to convert them into leads and customers.
We also need to analyze EVERYTHING to see what is working and what is not and make necessary adjustments along the way. A successful inbound marketing program that results in increased lead generation and a good ROI incorporates all these components. Lets look at Blogging and how important it is in this mix.
Social media alone will not give you the results you desire.
Optimizing each piece of content brings even more traffic and links to your content.
Then, promoting your blog articles through social media, which is also optimized, brings even more traffic, links and results in more content being out there to be found. The fact is, we believe our friends recommendations more than what businesses say about themselves. Write good content. Write what your audience wants to read and share.
Will your business be found or will your competitor?
Subscribe to some blogs that are in your industry that you may want to share with your audience.

According to a recent report by ViTrue , the best time to get a response from your fans is on Tuesda y. Click through rates peaked at nearly 10% on Tuesday and actually hovered around the same percentage on both Monday and Wednesday as well. The worst time?
