Social media has been getting a lot of attention. It seems like you can't turn on the tv or radio without hearing some ad imploring you to follow a merchant on twitter or visit them on Facebook. Maintaining all of those accounts can take some time. A lot small business owners just don't have time to manage their social media profiles. This is where you come in. The rest of this article will give you some tips on how you can become a social media assistant.
Join online networking sites.
This seems pretty obvious, but it is important. You can't convince anyone that you can help them with their social networking if you don't even know how to use the sites. If you don't have accounts with social media sites, you won't even be able to get any clients at all. You don't have to have accounts with all of the online networking sites, just the major ones: twitter, Facebook, FrieindFeed, and LinkedIn. Spend some time exploring all of the features. The more you know about these sites, the more you'll be able to help your potential clients.
Connect with the types of people you would like to serve.
When you start a business as an online networking assistant, you need to decide who you want to help. This will help you with your marketing efforts. It will also help you determine who you want to reach out to in order to build a relationship with. Now of course you should connect with people you already know. The people you know could lead you to the people you want to do business with. Don't be afraid to tell the people you know what you're doing. If you want to help plumbers, tell your network to send you plumbers that want to use social media to grow your business.
Promote your business.
Again, this seems obvious, but you won't get any business if you don't market yourself. You must let people know what you are doing if you are going to get clients. Now don't do this on your first encounter with someone. Instead wait until you have shared lots of useful content that shows your expertise. You should sprinkle self promotional messages into the information you share. Just don't overdo it. I would say for every 4 tweets or Facebook statuses you post, post 1 that's self promotional.
Social media assistants will continue to be in demand by small businesses as long as social networking remains a viable vehicle of getting leads.
