  9. If you learn a system, it can only help.
  10. Think Long term
  11. This webinar is designed to help you remove the excuses and equip you to begin building a social strategy for your business.
  12. I call it Going Social.Going Social is about you learning how to be a better storyteller for the purpose of connecting with your customers online.
  13. Our ultimate goal online and in business in general is to influence. The fruit of influence is action. When you influence people, you inspire them to take some kind of action. This is why the seemingly insignificant “like” button on Facebook is so powerful. When people “like” a post, it’s because they’ve connected with what we’ve written. When they “LIKE” our business page it because they want to show their support or identification with our brand. We influenced them to take a minor action. Maybe it’s just them clicking “like.” Or maybe it’s something more significant like we helped influenced their thought or position on a topic or idea.
  14. Every human being on the planet has a story. In business we need to get behind the eyes of our customers. How does our service help them solve their problems? (Share my client’s story.) Knowing your client’s story creates a chain reaction.
  15. Visibilty breeds Credibility: the more people see and hear from you, the more they pay attention to what you’re doing. Story: My initial encounter w/ Tisha was Twitter. Then attended Mompreneur of the Year. Saw at other networking events. Most of my interaction w/ her has happened online. This helped close the deal on my decision to join the Mom E Club.
  16. How do you learn your client’s story?
  17. Think about one client that you feel is your ideal client. Describe in detail his/her life. Why and how did she find you? What keeps her up at night? What does she value?
  18. Your content will reflect their story back to them. What does this do? Creates an instant connection. They start to trust you because they know they will be understood. They know your service was created with them in mind. [insert an example based on a popular brand]
  19. You’re watching them online.

  22. This goes back to the excuse about, you tried it and it didn’t work. You need to have benchmarks. How do you know what success is for your business, if you haven’t defined it and you don’t monitor it?
  23. [insert an example]

  25. Example websites or social network sites content
  26. Example websites or social network sites content
  27. Consider the most convenient or likely method of how your client will consume content.
  28. Your first priority as a business owner is to do what you do well. Marketing is not a separate dept in your business. Everything you do is marketing. If you don’t provide a quality service because you’re spending more time on Social Media in your business, then you will have a problem with your customers. Also, don’t’ believe the hype of “overnight” success through Social Media. Most of the people that have experienced this have built quality businesses and their Social Media campaigns are only reflecting this. Be patient and manage your expectations. If you care for the customers you have, this alone will produce a harvest of more customers.2. Get started. Risk making a mistake. Risk looking foolish. I’ve taught Twitter classes and people are afraid to send their first tweet for fear they might tweet the wrong thing. Most businesses do not finish the way they start. Businesses evolve. Social Media campaigns evolve. Go with it. 3. Listen to the experts, but more importantly listen to your customers. Use what the experts say as a jumping off point and then adapt it to what will benefit your customers.4. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
