Where to start with Social Media

These are words that were added to Nikki White’s new online business community for Natural Therapists – a wonderful new initiative – and are posted here for those who are new to Social Media or possibly those caught in doing too much, unfocused work in Social Media for their businesses. Enjoy:

“Remember that people want to contact you via different online sites – Facebook, Twitter, email, your website etc. Work out who you wish to attract, what sites they use, and how often you want to post on these sites. Look for automated tools such as Buffer and plan an amount of time each month to plan relevant topics you want to write about (or find information on) to provide value to your audience.

A big advantage is having someone update Social Media for you. This is where a virtual assistant can come in handy or even a family member / friend who can help out. Don’t get too exhausted trying to update loads of sites. Update settings to send you an email if you don’t log in regularly. (If you log in to Facebook / Twitter etc regularly then turn these settings off – don’t double up!).

Enjoy engaging with people through these sites – get it organised so you don’t feel exhausted.”
