Social Media Marketing for Business


                              #Definition


Markets have become conversations.

Social media are the online platforms and locations that provide a
way for people to participate in these conversations.

For individuals it is a way to connect and share content with friends,
colleagues and like-minded people.

For businesses it is a way to tap into what people are saying
about your brand, your product and/or your service, participate
in the conversations, be open to new ideas and then use these
insights to make better business decisions.
Social Media Marketing for Business


                     OR



 If you want to build a ship, dont
 drum up the men to gather wood,
  divide the work, and give orders.
Instead, teach them to yearn for the
       vast and endless sea.

The Content
Social media in Expoonline.com

         THE TOOLS
Blog  a Blog registered at Word Press. It is going to be used as a
hub for distribution of content/articles.
The Blog must be integrated in the website.

Remember!!! if our social media traffic doesnt convert into a
lead, it isnt helping our business bottom line.

So ... for the BLOG we need a specific behavior ... like :
           1. Create a blog SERIAL - a kit of blog posts around one particular subject.

           2. Do a data compilation of all the critical data points someone in our industry might
           need to know.

           3. Prepare presentations - power points can easily be converted into downloadable pdf!

           4. Prelaunch an old offer

           5. Record interviews or debates - all you need is a video camera and 15 minutes of
           two peoples time!

           6. Create templates and checklists -- these require very little writing, too

           7. Reach out to partners to create co-branded content that eases the content
           creation burden.
