New to Social Media?
If you’re new to social media or have recently decided to upgrade your social media knowledge past status updates and posting pictures on Facebook, let me take this opportunity to welcome you to the club! Hundreds of Millions of users log into social media accounts every day, making it the most convenient and far reaching networking platforms the earth has ever known. Consumers have decided to allow themselves to be marketed to and interacted with by businesses in these social network settings, which also makes the prospect of doing business through social media a potentially valuable one.
The 3 Stages to Learning Social Media
Stage 1- Building Relationships and Trust, Best Practices of Modern Humans
The first stage has to do with building relationships and appropriate behavior. Saying thank you, marketing through word of mouth, talking to people instead of at them, not going out of your way to criticize or opine, and promoting yourself through adding value instead of selling to people.
Step 2- Becoming Proficient With the Platforms and Concentrating on the Task at Hand
The second stage is the part where you learn how to use the social networks for your business. A lot of social media enthusiasts do great with building relationships, but end up spending several hours a day treating social networks like playgrounds. Sometimes they get pre-occupied with gaming a score or becoming popular and forget why they got into social media marketing in the first place. During the second stage you learn how to use automation and scheduling, how to group your activities so they take up as little time as possible and how to make social media work for your business instead of you working for Facebook.
Step 3- Mastering Analytics, Integration, Mentoring and Refinement
The third stage is the advanced stage. This is the equivalent of your masters degree. You learn about ROI and how to determine the correct performance indicators to measure your results. You learn how to integrate your analytics and your automation. You can now answer about anyone’s general Facebook questions and you’re familiar with so many social networks, widgets and third-party applications that you need a list just to track them. You’ll no longer learn much from the majority of social media articles, but since you know how social media works you’ll visit the same old haunts and give back to the new crowd coming up.
