Business Still Thinks Social Media Is A Fad -- Do You? | Social Media Today

Social Media is a major lever to amplify and generate inbound enquiry

Social Media is a major lever to amplify and generate inbound enquiry. In a recent post the “Social Media and the 3 New Pillars of Marketing“, I outlined how the following elements were crucial in growing your business in the “Digital” and “Internet” generation.

• Content: The home base your “Blog”.. plus other media such as online video that you can integrate with your blog
• SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) of Website’s, Blogs and Social Media Channels
• Social Media (such as Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube)

10 Twitter Networking Tips for New Business

Get more out of Twitter and generate inbound leads for your agency’s new business by creating a personal network of prospective clients.

I didn’t quite know what to do with Twitter in the beginning until I read an article from Angela Maiers, educator, author, blogger who now leads Maier Educational Services. Angela developed a simple Twitter Engagement Formula that provides purpose and direction for her participation. She calls it the 70-20-10 Formula. My formula for using Twitter has evolved differently from hers but it provided a great example on how to get started.

What I’ve discovered with Twitter is that it is great tool for creating awareness and traffic for my blog but is equally effective and efficient as a networking tool. Just remember to retain your offline personal networking skills while online.

Here are my ten tips on creating personal networks with Twitter:

1. Make a commitment to spend enough time on Twitter to understand how it works. Think of it as just another communications channel. When you’ve paid your dues in the beginning you will be able to better utilize a number of Twitter 3rd party tools to make your time management extremely efficient.

LinkedIn Is More Effective for B2B Companies

The latest findings from HubSpot's 2011 State of Inbound Marketing report show that the effectiveness of particular social media channels varies according to the type of business.The study surveyed over 600 professionals knowledgeable about their company's marketing strategy.

Facebook is clearly more effective for B2C businesses and LinkedIn is clearly more effective for B2B businesses.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of Customer Service via Twitter | It's Digital Marketing

"HE RECKONS IF YOU CAN'T SEE THE TWEET IT DOESN'T EXIST"

What’s worse – not providing customer service or providing poor customer service?
That’s a question I’ve pondered recently as a consumer, whilst experimenting with utilising Twitter as a means of contacting brands when I’ve needed assistance. It’s been an interesting and varied experience, something we as marketers should consider for our own businesses.
