Choosing The Right Social Networks

There is absolutely no point in creating profiles for your business on every social network you come across and leaving things helter-skelter

. You need to understand and adapt to a smarter way of using Social Media. No doubt there are many benefits of using Social networks such as savings in cost, time and other resources but a major benefit is that you can reach a Targeted Audience. The three key aspects that will help you decide on the platforms you need to be using are:

1.Identifying Your Audience

2.Determining Your Goal

3.Understanding your capacity to interact on the networks

Once you meditate on these points you will surely be enlightened and on your way to Social Nirvana.

More than 66% of adults are connected to one or more social media platforms, but who exactly are these people? You may already have a rough idea, or even a clear picture, of who your customers are, but do you know what social networks they are using? You could start by a simple search on different social networks with keywords that are relevant to your business.

By keywords I am not referring to your Brand Name. In your list of keywords make sure to include your competitors, your line of business or even specific terms used in your business. Start making a list of the networks where you hear a lot of noise that makes sense to you and where you think it makes sense to join the conversation.

The other aspect to this endeavor is to understand what you want from it. Social networking can be used for various reasons such as:

Recruitment

Lead generation

Brand building

Customer interaction

Gathering business intelligence

By deciding on exactly what your goals are, choosing an online platform becomes much simpler.

Remember, every social network has a slightly different culture. This culture affects your messaging, and the way youll speak to your audience on each of those networks. Compare your goals with the list of social networks that have the audience you are targeting and you will have a final list of Social Networks you just need to use for your business. Pick two or three of those social networks that you feel fits best with your target customer and aligns with your social media goals.

Simply create an account, list out your working hours, phone number, websites, and any other pertinent information. It's like a free Yellow Pages listing in a noncommercial, social environment.

There is no harm in creating accounts across multiple platforms but one thing you must keep in mind is that Interaction Is Important. To truly grow an audience on any Social Network involves daily participation, often constant and immediate interaction is necessary (and a plan!). My point is It will cost you time! But with a little planning, managing your social media will seem like any other aspect of your business. My advice to you is hire dedicated resources or an agency to help with choosing and managing your online presence.

This was just about choosing the right Social Networks for your business. Stay tuned for tips on how to use them effectively.
