Social Media Tips and Hints
Of course, creating social networking accounts and starting to use them is only your first step.
Now you have to get lots of people to be your online friends. How do you do that?
One strategy is to post special offers or coupons that are good for the users of one site (say Facebook) only. Make it easy for those who click on your offer to share it and you’ll build up a lot of friends. You can give away sample products or announce a limited-time sale, too. The key to this kind of recruitment strategy is to set a time limit so you can create a sense of urgency. Don’t let sharing your offers get thrown on someone’s “To Do” pile!
Run paid ads to recruit friends. Again, promote what you have to offer people who decide to friend you on your various accounts – sales, giveaways, and solid information that will help improve their lives or solve their problems. With a budget of just $100-$200 for ads and giveaways you can generate 5,000-6,000 friends pretty quickly.
