                       SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY CHECKLIST

I’ll not be modest here – I can really make a difference to your business life if you are not yet on board
with Social Media or are still needing help – through my own experience using Social Media for my
business and hours and hours of research, I have become an expert, and can walk you through it in plain
English and get you comfortable with a full understanding of the “platforms” and all the other “buzz
words”, eliminate your fears and let you know exactly what will benefit your particular business. I can
teach you how to stay current and what you will need to do on an ongoing basis; alternatively, if you
don’t have the time, at a reasonable cost you can hire me, and I or one of my specialist team will handle
the work for you.

BUT WITHOUT ANY UP-FRONT EXPENSE RIGHT HERE IN ONE DOCUMENT I AM PROVIDING A
LIST I AUTHORED OF ALL THE MAIN WAYS SOCIAL MEDIA IS USED.

Since you are reading this, you will have already seen some of the Social Media output of my own
company, A Virtual Assistant 4 You. Please take a good look through this website and notice ways I use
Social Media to enhance my business and personal image, and keep it vibrant, relative and active. It
attracts new clients and impresses existing clients, many of whom I have since helped with their own
online presence by creating Facebook Pages, Twitter Accounts, LinkedIn Profiles, Newsletters, Blogs, etc.
All of these and other platforms I use to great effect – no one can afford to ignore how essential Social
Media is today.

Wouldn’t it feel great to be praised for your Social Media presence, with potential clients as well as
existing clients making such comments as “I love what you have incorporated into your LinkedIn Profile” or
“It’s great how all your links connect so seamlessly to each other” and “Having all the buttons on your blog
and website make it easy to navigate to your Facebook Page and your Twitter Profile”? These are examples
of comments made to clients who have followed my guidance.

If you are not already set up with Social Media or are just dabbling in it, I expect it all seems very
daunting, but you don’t need to do it all. We can talk about your business and choose the Social Media
platforms that make sense, and then figure out if you can manage them in-house or whether you would
be better off using my company’s services. In the meantime, start by studying the check list on the
following three pages, and feel free to contact me.

Your Partner in Productivity,

Social media checklist

  • 1. Social Media Strategy Checklist Jaimie Skultety, President A Virtual Assistant 4 You WEB - www.AVirtualAssistant4You.com BLOG - YourPartnerInProductivity.wordpress.com LINKEDIN - www.LinkedIn.com/In/AVirtualAssistant4You TWITTER – www.Twitter.com/AVA4YOU FACEBOOK – www.Facebook.com/AVirtualAssistant4You TOLL-FREE PHONE & FAX: 877-798-7701
  • 2. A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT 4 YOU SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY CHECKLIST I’ll not be modest here – I can really make a difference to your business life if you are not yet on board with Social Media or are still needing help – through my own experience using Social Media for my business and hours and hours of research, I have become an expert, and can walk you through it in plain English and get you comfortable with a full understanding of the “platforms” and all the other “buzz words”, eliminate your fears and let you know exactly what will benefit your particular business. I can teach you how to stay current and what you will need to do on an ongoing basis; alternatively, if you don’t have the time, at a reasonable cost you can hire me, and I or one of my specialist team will handle the work for you. BUT WITHOUT ANY UP-FRONT EXPENSE RIGHT HERE IN ONE DOCUMENT I AM PROVIDING A LIST I AUTHORED OF ALL THE MAIN WAYS SOCIAL MEDIA IS USED. Since you are reading this, you will have already seen some of the Social Media output of my own company, A Virtual Assistant 4 You. Please take a good look through this website and notice ways I use Social Media to enhance my business and personal image, and keep it vibrant, relative and active. It attracts new clients and impresses existing clients, many of whom I have since helped with their own online presence by creating Facebook Pages, Twitter Accounts, LinkedIn Profiles, Newsletters, Blogs, etc. All of these and other platforms I use to great effect – no one can afford to ignore how essential Social Media is today. Wouldn’t it feel great to be praised for your Social Media presence, with potential clients as well as existing clients making such comments as “I love what you have incorporated into your LinkedIn Profile” or “It’s great how all your links connect so seamlessly to each other” and “Having all the buttons on your blog and website make it easy to navigate to your Facebook Page and your Twitter Profile”? These are examples of comments made to clients who have followed my guidance. If you are not already set up with Social Media or are just dabbling in it, I expect it all seems very daunting, but you don’t need to do it all. We can talk about your business and choose the Social Media platforms that make sense, and then figure out if you can manage them in-house or whether you would be better off using my company’s services. In the meantime, start by studying the check list on the following three pages, and feel free to contact me.
