So how do you market your business on Social Media ?
It seems like some folks still think the answer is to spread their links randomly everywhere they go. I think we may have all done this at one time or the other so I try to be patient with the people who are still thinking this way, BUT, it is so highly annoying and in fact there is no chance I will ever click on a link thrown at me in this manner !
Last week I "friended" someone on FaceBook in a group I had just joined. Within 10 minutes I got a chat message from him that said this:
hi, xyzmol.com
vbrts.com
(don't click those links, I made them up)
Do you think this made me want to click the links ? NEVER ! Do you think they made me want to listen to anything else this person ever says ? Not really....
So what would I do ? On a good day when I have time I might respond with a friendly message and attempt to nicely tell the person how rude their message was and what a small chance they had of getting a positive response. I'm assuming that they meant well, are just clueless and might turn into a useful friend with just a little bit of education.
On a bad day or when I was real busy I would just ignore the whole deal and keep doing what I was before with no reply whatsoever.
How would you actually get results then ? (next page)

This is a timely training, thanks!

On Facebook you can also start a "Business Page" if you want to put something under your blog name. You can actually start as many of those or "Group Pages" as you like. For sure your personal profile page should be in your name though !
Please feel free to reach out to me if you hit any snags or I can help in any way !
Regards !

Liked your training post. The only social media I have ever used is Facebook. I tried Twitter but got lost. I know it is important these days to be able to market yourself in social media. Do you think that you should have a separate Facebook account or page just for your business?

A Business Page might be a good idea for you. For one thing Facebook frowns on promotion from your personal page, where you can get away with more on your business page.
I actually have 2 Business Pages and run 1 group page as well. My primary Business Page is also in my on name and devoted more to free value than promotion. The 2nd is for a business I have and I barely even have my name on it. Each serves it's own purpose. Please reach out anytime I can be of help Dianne !

I too have experienced that Facebook, "BAM - In the face" technique. I'm with you on that... I HATE IT! It's such a turn off, lol. If they only knew!!!
Anyway, thanks again. I'm sure lots will get good use from your teaching. :o)
Appreciate your taking the time to read and comment both !
Like I said, if I'm in the mood and have the time I'll try to teach those folks if they are willing to learn, lol, some too clueless to waste a lot of time on and some just didn't know better and can be helped.
Have a great weekend Paula !

At least I can multi task and work on the computer while games are on !
