2. A Perspective on Social Media
Networking is always important when it’s real
and it’s always a useless distraction when it’s
fake.
Are there people out there who I would go out
of my way for and who would go out of their
way for me. That’s what you need to keep
track of. ~ Seth Godin

Today we’re going to talk about bringing these two different perspectives together to help you grow yourself and your business.
This information is from the November 2011 Intuit Small Business Survey. The infographic was created by Column Five As you can see the average small business owner is spending approximately 3 hours a week on web marketing or approximately 8% of their working time. That works out to be about 36 minutes a day for a 5 day week. 36 minutes isn’t a lot of time to spend on the internet. Sign into Facebook and you can spend 30 minutes just surfing around! That’s why you need a plan, a strategy for your internet marketing. You need to maximize your time online so you can see results as well as getting your work done.
First you need to know what you want to achieve. Without this you’re showing up on social media with no way to measure success. Throughout this presentation I’ll use an example of a recent social media campaign we conducted through the Tri-Town Chamber of Commerce. We knew we wanted to grow our social media presence and become a resource for the community. We’d been marginally successful, but wanted to capitalize on summer to increase knowledge of the chamber. That wasn’t enough information to build a campaign upon. We established specific goals for each month, June – August that related to our overall objective. Those goals were increasing our Facebook Fan membership by a specific percentage and increase our engagement to certain levels and maintain it. By setting specific targets, we were able to measure our progress on a weekly basis.
Once you have your plan laid out, you need to review your calendar to see what’s reasonable with your schedule. Have you planned 6 hours of online networking instead of 3? Have you committed to blogging more time than you have available? It’s important that your plan realistically fit into your schedule. If there are tasks that need to be completed at a certain time and you can’t complete them, you need to figure out a different way. Should you delete them? Can you delegate them? Should you hire someone to help you? Can you partner with someone to work on the campaign with you?
