Social media is all the rage! And rightly so. Every company-Big and Small- is there. For once in a persons life you can be connected to your favorite news anchor, actor or old school teacher.

If you aren’t sure what “social networking” is, then you need to know!

Social Networking is: (to me) is a chance to meet other like-minded people from the comfort of your home, to help others and encourage those people that you would not have had the chance to meet in other way.

A Social Media Manager is one that utilizes socialization in many different media forms to help raise awareness of a company and keep their credibility going strong. Social Media is a powerful tool to use in marketing these days.

The quickest, most effective way for a company to reach their target market these days is by using a social media site, such as Twitter. These sites are a way to connect to just about anyone from anywhere in the world.

What does a Social Media Manager do?

Most companies will have a different set of tasks they need their social media specialists to do for them. But, here are some of the more common tasks you might be asked to perform for a company:

* Set up and maintain accounts on certain social media websites
* Research your target market to see what they’re saying about your employer
* Respond to any complaints, concerns or questions of your target market
* Stay on top of the social media circuit for new social media tools your company could use

What equipment do they use?

The main piece of equipment a social media manager would need is a computer with high-speed internet. The computer should easy access to all search engines to help stay on top of any social media news.

In some cases, a mobile phone is needed for texting messages to social media sites. Sometimes, employers will provide this for you if they need you to use one.

What skills should I have?

A social media manager should know their way around most social media websites. You should know how to use some of the more popular ones and know most of the tools they use to enhance their social media experience.

You will need to remember that you’re working for an employer and not goofing around and socializing with your friends during your work times. You also need to be able to be a professional at all times when performing your managing duties. The sites you’re socializing on for your employer are that company’s customers or potential customers.

If you don’t keep a professional attitude with them, you hurt your employer’s company. Your job is to help alleviate as much negative publicity on the internet as possible; not to start it by arguing with customers.

How much does a social media manager make?

The rate of pay varies greatly with each company that hires social media managers. What you would get paid could depend on how much experience or knowledge you have in the social media arena.

It also depends on the duties that you would be expected to perform and the size of the company that’s going to hire you. The rate of pay could fall in the range of $25,000 to $50,000 a year for full-time employment.

Social media managers are fast becoming a popular choice for a profession. While it sounds like you’re simply chatting about the internet, it’s still complicated and hard work. Much research will need to be done and you still need to keep track of where your employer’s target market is at.

If you do your job well, your employer’s company will thrive. You can have the satisfaction of knowing that you played a part in that and they just might reward you for your efforts.

Social Media Marketing is all the rage! Not only is it used for socializing for entertainment but it is vastly used for all sized businesses in hopes to reach their target audience.

Do you know how many social media plate forms are available to the small business owner?

Let’s see!

1. Twitter
2. Facebook
3. LinkedIn
4. Squidoo
5. Blogs
6. Social Bookmarking

O.k. maybe there’s a little bit more…say at last count 296! According to Wikipedia

It’s enough to make any savvy business owner start to wheeze and hyperventilate just thinking about doing ‘ALL’ of their social media marketing themselves! That’s why there is two important things to think about before jumping into your social media marketing plan.

1. Where is your target market hanging out?
2. What specific message do you want to send out at that particular moment?

It’s important not to be ‘spammy’ with your messages,  yet, you have to send out a message on a regular basis in order to be ‘seen’ by as many of your potential clients as possible.

Have you outsourced lately?

You spend quite a bit of time designing or working with a website designer, to have the ‘best’ website for your business. Maybe you are spending so much time with your marketing that you really don’t visit your own website often.

So here’s my tip: Your website visitors come to your website and look immediately for your Twitter button and your Facebook button.

• Place the button(s) on your home page so your visitors (a.k.a potential client) can connect with you
• Most websites seem to have the buttons located on the right side of the website

Until next time!

To Your Success!

Hi There! Since you are a busy online women business owner, I’ll keep this post short!

Let me start out by asking you “Are you achieving the goals you set out to accomplish this year?”

If the answer is “Not really”, then you need to know the secret of having a successful online business: Outsource Your Marketing!

The internet has changed everything.  Not just where you work your business, but also the way you network your business. When you run an online business you have to learn how to “work” the “net” (network).

• Ning Forum (setup and alterations)
• Twitter account (setup and management)
• Article Marketing
• Press Release Marketing
• Squidoo Lens creation
• Keyword and Phrase Research

These are just a few of the marketing tasks you do not know how to do, care to do on your own, or perhaps you just don’t have the time to spend doing yourself.

What type of online business owners outsource to Buckeye VA? I’m so glad you asked!

• Authors
• Life Coaches
• Virtual Assistants
• Party Planners
• Website Designers
• Chiropractors

become superstars on Twitter.

that anyone who wants to win the Twitter
game can do…

________________________________

Twitter Tip # 1 – Tweet Often!
________________________________

The biggest people on twitter (that
aren’t celebrities) tweet often.

If you want to make a name for yourself
on Twitter then expect to send out 16 -
20 tweets a day.

content.

So gather quotes and tweet’em often. I
actually paid someone to harvest over
1,000 quotes from quote sites to tweet
on Twitter!

Twitter Tip # 3 – Get a Great Background

People want to follow those with slick,

backgrounds.

Okay, my background at David_Frey is
pretty darn bland. But my background at

Twitter Tip # 4 – Tweet Top 10 Lists

People LOVE Top 10 lists. Don’t ask me
why, they just do.

So just go to Google and type in the
words “Top 10 (word)” and you’ll get a
lot of great results you can tweet.

- “Top 10 Songs”
- “Top 10 Richest People”
- “Top 10 Homes”
- “Top 10 Women”
etc. etc. etc.

You get the idea.

How Do I Make Time for Social Media Marketing?

If you’ve been online for the last year, you know how important social media marketing is for your business growth. You also may know that social media marketing takes time, and who has the time?

What if I told you that there is a way to ‘make more time’ in your business schedule for social media marketing? OK, you can’t really ‘make more time’, the secret to making it feel like you’ve made more time is actually found in ‘outsourcing’, specifically to a Social Media Marketing Assistant.

How do I know when it’s time to outsource?

When you’ve reached a point in your business where you do not have the time to personally market your business via the vast array of social media outlets, then its time for you to find a social media marketer. As a social media marketing assistant, I will help you manage your accounts, still allowing you to personally communicate with your target market. As a business owner, you know how important it is to stay in touch with your followers and fans, while still maintaining a balance in your business.

As a social media manager and publicity assistant, I can be the extra hands and eyes for you and your business social media marketing needs. I welcome you to contact me to set up your free 30 minute SKYPE consultation.

Spike says “Listening is not enough”

I stumbled upon a great blog called “Brains on Fire”. At first I thought “what kind of business blog post is this?” It didn’t take but a moment for me to see that it was indeed a great blog post! I love the fact that he reminds us that we have to ‘listen’ past the words being said, but ‘hear’ what’s not being said! Take the time to build a relationship with yourself out of the equation..its not what you customers can do for you, but what you can do for them. I think this type thinking can take time especially if we spend too much time with ‘gurus’ who told us to ‘be the leader’ of our customers/clients.

Doesn’t that type of thinking make the conversation all about ‘me’?

Social Media Marketing is crucial to your businesses growth, you already know this!  What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the term “social media”? I immediately think of “TIME”! Who’s got the time for more marketing??

Since marketing is a tool you use to get your products and services out to your consumer group, you really have to take the time to setup a clear marketing plan that includes your favorite social media outlet.

Just keep in mind, that although you can successfully outsource your marketing efforts to a social media marketing manager, you need to be involved on a personal level with at least one specific social media outlet on a regular basis. This is great way to build real relationships!

Marketing with personality, purpose and on a real-life level will help you with all of your marketing efforts, including:

• Article Submissions
• Press Release Submissions
• Teleseminar and other online classes

If you find yourself out of “time” before you can accomplish this weeks marketing goals, then I welcome you to contact me for a free 30 minute consultation.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, please leave a great comment!
