                            http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #1: Not Proofreading

                                 There’s nothing worse than
                                 a silly goof up in spelling or
                                 grammar. Check your work
                                 or have someone else
                                 check it before you post it.




Put your best foot forward and look professional!



                 http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #2: Not Claiming Profiles

     Claim your business pages at the various
   social media sites before someone else does.




  Don’t overlook the value of business directories!


                   http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #3: Not Using Monitoring Tools

       Use tools like Twilert to monitor what’s
        been said about you in social media.




                    http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #4: Over Promotion

                                               Focusing on selling
                                               products, instead of
                                               growing relationships,
                                               will result in only short
                                               term.



Get to know your customers – this is a business!




                 http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #5: No Call to Action

                       On the other hand, if you want
                       results, you have to ask your
                       followers to do something.




Don’t be afraid to ask for recommendations!
              http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #6: I Need 1 Million Fans

                    Overnight success stories are not
                    the norm. Growing a following takes
                    hard work, time and consistency.




  Don’t get discouraged – persistence pays off!


                 http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #7: Getting Sucked In

                             Not only is being on social
                             media damaging to your
                             productivity, it can be
                             harmful to physical health
                             too.



                             Nicholas Carr’s Pulitzer prize winning book
                             provides an interesting perspective on this.




         http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #8: Not Asking for Interaction

         Ask a question, request feedback,
       create controversy or have a contest.




              Just get them talking.




                  http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #9: Ignoring Messages

Ignoring your audience is no way to build
a loyal following. Answer your messages.




              http://syndicatedriches.com
Mistake #10: Lack of Focus

                      Know why your followers want
                      to follow you and consistently
                      deliver it.
