Good Morning, Social Rabbit here with your guide to the world of social media.
Some people look at their Facebook page, Twitter stream etc, and say why isn’t anyone talking to me? Well the reason is that you are not talking to them!
Instead of seeing the social network you interact on as a way to push your product, or tell everyone how amazing you are, see it as a party. Not just any party, but a party that you are hosting at your place.
If you were holding a party you would,
- Chat to people, even the ones you haven’t met before – hint do this online!
- Introduce people to others – you can so easily do this in social media, but first you need to find out about the people at the party (see point 1)
- Offer food and drinks, yes some people do just come for the free drinks – often in social media, when you offer people a freebee suddenly you are everyone’s best friend, but it gives you a chance to get to know them, it starts the conversation
- Make sure your place looks good before everyone arrives – it’s the same in social media, “first impressions count”
- Say thank you if a guest bought you a gift – in social media world that is a comment or post that they make, don’t leave it floating out there….
- Put on some tunes – it’s all about the right atmosphere; does the social network your business is playing on have the right vibe?
- Kick out the trouble makers – don’t be afraid to tell any spammers where to go, it’s your party and you’ll cry if you want to!
So is anyone having a party at their house this weekend?
Loved the post
Hilarious!
