I hate to tell someone to ditch all the expert advice,
because truly all social media specialist have good advice, but does that
advice completely fit your needs.
I was bombarded with questions last week by a fellow blogger
that was asking how to get readers to their blog post. To be brutally honest, I had no clue what to
answer back, I have learned that I must process everything to have a true
solution.
To my fellow blogger, here is what might help….
It is not what you say, but how you say it! Unless you are bitterly angry, person
negativity is normally not, what you want to hear. So watch your tone on your social media post!
Do you have conversations with your readers? I keep my both personal and business Facebook
page public, so readers feel they can communicate with me. The key to my success is being there for
them, I get email, messages, and comments all the time asking for advice.
Know your target area!
I cannot SCREAM this enough, know your target audience. If you are local and are trying to reach
local readers, understand that local readers do not always enjoy the same
conversations as folks 1000 miles away.
This is where you have to be very careful about what “advice” you take
from the experts. I follow many social
media and blogging experts; I read their post and many I agree with. However, I also believe I have convert that
advice to reach my readers…..I am local and must speak like a local. (note…I love my local people).
Do you know how to tag people in your conversation? I giggle at this, but I have seen so many
post and think why didn't they tag the business they are talking about in their
conversation? On Facebook to tag a
business page you must first LIKE the page and then use the @ symbol to tag the
page. Example you want to tag my
page: Go to my business page Adventures
Among Us, LIKE my page, then in your status type @Adventures Among Us in the
status and my page should be highlighted.
NOTE…this CANNOT be done through a scheduling app; you must do this on
Facebook. Business pages can tag other
business pages, but must first LIKE the page as their business page.
