Social Networking Basics

FREE Business Success Nuggets

Always…

  • Always plan in advance – are you seeking brand awareness? lead generation? or a PR platform?
  • Always watch and learn – study how the game works before taking the plunge.
  • Always focus on a particular group, one who will find your content relevant.
  • Always remember, overt advertising or promotion is not welcome. Your approach needs to be more subtle than conventional media.
  • Always try adding a crafty tag to your online name, eg. Jim ‘legal eagle’ Smith.


Never…

  •  Never focus on yourself. Only post messages that others will find compelling or interesting.
  •  Never give way to ranting or intolerance – be nice to know.
  •  Never post (write or say) anything that could come back to haunt you later.
  •  Never overlook the benefit of linking all your activities to and from your website.
  •  Never put all your eggs into one basket. Try different sites and groups – explore!
