1. Make a serious commitment to do whatever is required to attain your social media or web marketing goals. This is an absolute prerequisite. You can not just "dabble in it", it takes work as does anything of value in life.
2. Find your mentor. I have more than one coach on my way to becoming a social media guru. I have mentors now and plan to have more mentors in the future. Get yourself a mentor. As I am sure you have heard, “The ultimate shortcut is doing it right the first time.”
3. Don’t wait until the conditions are perfect for launching your campaign. Remember, “You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going”.
4. Join one business networking site at a time and take the time to master it. Social networking sites can be intimidating at first. Learn a new feature, practice it, and go on to the next. Do not over extend yourself.
5. Start out blogging once a week. It’s hard to begin, especially if, like me, you’re not a professional writer. You can increase your posting frequency later.
6. Realize that there’s a steep social media learning curve. Do not quit. So many people join Twitter or Facebook or begin blogging and quit shortly thereafter. They expected to sprint a 100-yard* dash, not to run a marathon.
7. Don’t forget about the “social” in social media. Get to know a lot of people and have a blast!
I hope these tips will help you in your journey of Social Media and Networking. Please contact me if you would like to discuss in more details.
