2019-03-20T09:10:45-04:00

If you are an experienced social marketer you know the realities of social media. You know what it takes to achieve results. You know there is no quick fix or magic pill to results. You know that buying Facebook fans, Facebook likes, clicks, or Twitter followers is not going to help you meet business goals. What about you new kids on the block? I work with many of you so I know how you feel and what is keeping you up at night. I know the questions you ask. I know the lies you are being told or the assumptions you are making that are far from truthful. The purpose of this post is to highlight some of these myths, lies and false hopes that may be keeping you from results. This post is not meant for those who can write a book on each topic. It is targeted to the newbies to social media, the business leaders who may know how to rock traditional marketing and other mediums but are struggling with integrating social media into business.

2017-02-08T00:35:03-05:00

Community isn't something that happens once just to help build you up from zero to one hundred or five thousand followers. A real community is there for the long term. They are the people you can count on come thick or thin. They are the people who will build you up, tell you the truth even if it hurts and celebrate your successes because they helped you get there.

Is Your Content Worthy of a Like, Share, Pin, Retweet, Google +1?

2017-02-08T00:35:03-05:00

How many hours have you spent adding buttons, gadgets and widgets to your new blog or website? You research the right tools, share buttons, share bars, analytic tracking tools and more. You install them with a hope and a prayer that someone somewhere is going to use them. However, unfortunately many business leaders find they don't get used. The share buttons sit on their site with the lonely zero or default +1. Chances are your pocket book or wallet might be feeling a little lonely too.

2017-02-08T00:35:04-05:00

Tonight I had great plans for a productive Sunday evening. We spent the first part of the evening at Crossing Church for a rockin' worship and message, sweet treat at Baskin Robins and then headed home and put kids to bed. It was just me, the laptop and hubby with the remote. As I settled in for a few minutes on #BlogChat, the big plans of a productive night on social media inclusive of a new blog post slipped away into never never, never tweet land.

42 Things to do on Twitter besides Tweet Spam & Coupons

2017-02-08T00:35:04-05:00

One of the number one social media questions I hear from business leaders is "what should I tweet?" It's funny because most business owners start a business because they have a passion for something or at minimum have an interest in it enough they believe they can make some money providing such a service or product. However, when it comes to sending a 140 character tweet they struggle with it.

Are You Ignoring the Social Inspiration People Metrics?

2019-04-29T11:49:08-04:00

It's easy to get side tracked by all the geekdom in social. From looks (impressions) to likes, follows, retweets, influence scores, views, demographics, insights, conversions and the list goes on. Underneath all of the bits, bytes, and likes we can't forget why we like social media in the first place. Social networks connect human beings. They provide a way for us to better communicate, share information, learn, grow, and help others do the same.

CEO Social Mindset: 25 Tips for a Healthy Social Business Mindset

2017-02-08T00:35:05-05:00

Attitude and mindset are often the key to success in life. With the right mindset you can learn new things, take on mountains, lead teams to success and accomplish more than you ever dreamed possible. Becoming a social business is no easy task. It's going to take smart thinking, dedication, teamwork, integration, getting real with the skeletons in the closet, and a "can do" attitude. The social ecosystem is still evolving and accepting that change is the only real guarantee is a good first step. If you are seeking benefit from social media but are having a difficult time in finding such, you might want to spend a day deep in thought and looking in the mirror versus a day of analyzing Facebook insights and Google Analytics.

15 Reasons Random Acts of Marketing & Social Media (RAMs) Don’t Work!

2019-03-19T22:22:07-04:00

There you sit in the executive conference room watching everyone nod their heads about the latest idea from the new executive on the block. He or she has a new idea that is going to "save the company." It could be anything from a random LinkedIn group, social media campaign, planned "go viral" video" or who knows what. The sad thing is nobody in the conference room has the guts to state the obvious... that there is no budget, time, or resources to implement the new random act of marketing or social media with any level of success. So, everyone in the conference room nods their heads, takes notes and smiles as if they are excited about the project. Under their breath they are thinking "how on earth am I going to get this #$@$%@ thing done!??

Social Media Friends: 50 Tips to Rock Social Love & Advocacy

2017-02-08T00:35:06-05:00

You know the old saying "be a friend, to get a friend." Social media creates amazing opportunities to connect with real people. It doesn't have to be a fake world as some assume. I have personally met people on the social streams who I am now tightly partnered with based on life changing relationships. It is true that social media is about the people. It is something that I have preached since the minute I hopped on Twitter. However, you can't just say it's about the people and do nothing about it. Many people think if they just sit all day on Twitter and Facebook and talk to the "people" about "whatever" that it will bring result. For real results both personally and professionally, you need some skin in the game. This includes having a plan, objectives, understanding your audience etc.
