17. If you have ever seen a snowball rolling downhill, it gains momentum while growing in size as it
rolls downhill. Social media also starts out small with a few friends and likes. As you interact with
others this social media snowball gains momentum and grows in the number of people that you
will reach.
Compared to a snowball when your campaign gets going it builds and builds. With strategic
planning and a good amount of work your campaign will eventually create it's own circular
momentum racing downhill.
18. The more social media channels you provide, the more it increases the odds are that you will create
enough circular momentum to generate real results with your online marketing campaign.
The energy put forth that drives the snowball will determine the size of the snowballs growth.
Which would you choose a small snowball that is hidden or a huge snowball that everyone sees?
The bottom line is momentum is critical. Social Media campaign is not free. Time is money and it
will take your time to build the circular momentum. Circular momentum doesn't just happen; you
have to push it along, like you must push a snowball down a hill.
19. Circular momentum doesn't just happen, you have to help it along. Leverage is the circular
momentum of people loving your brand and doing your marketing for you. Word of Mouth
Marketing via social media.
20. Use social media to network, promote and share. Use a soft sell approach when using social media,
start by connecting and building relationships. Make sure what you post adds value to those who
read it and give useful information. Plant your seeds today for a plentiful harvest tomorrow.
Connect with people today to have customers tomorrow.
21. 48.2% Businesses have a Facebook Page

22. Use social media to create relationships with customers and prospects. Conversations go back and
forth, not one way. Encourage engagement that creates the circular momentum and the snowball
effect.

27. A tag is a special kind of link. When you tag someone, you create a link to their timeline. The post
you tag the person in is also added to that person’s timeline. For example, you can tag a photo to
show who’s in the photo or post a status update and say who you’re with. If you tag a friend in
your status update, anyone who sees that update can click on your friend’s name and go to their
timeline.
When you tag someone, they'll be notified.
28. When someone adds a tag of you to a post, your friends may be able to see this. The tagged post
also goes on your timeline. If you’d like, you can turn on Timeline Review to review and approve
each tagged post before it goes on your timeline or exclude some people from seeing tagged posts
of you when they are viewing your timeline.
Tagging allows social media users to interact with one another on a more personal level and
connect even more users in a single place. Be very cautious when utilizing this social media tool. If
not correctly used, tagging by can come across as spam and turn off potential clients.
This strategy is smart because it puts your company on the circular snowball effect of the tagged
followers. This opens your business up to a whole new wave of potential followers, and hopefully,
consumers. The entire goal of social media aims at gaining as much sight and interaction on the
web as possible. Tagging bridges the gap between two people, pages or companies by merging
their views from followers and expanding reach.
