I wanted to post several comments. First, if you want to get up to speed on all the social media stuff, even if you have no idea what those funny words are like “tweets” and a “blog” etc, you need to sign up to take the Social Media Bloggerfly class. It will give you the knowledge and the right foundation to go as far as you want to in the social media realm. Click the link on the right and get started today!
Second, be consistent in your blogging/article writing once you are set up. Make it an appointment with yourself. It is amazing how quickly you start to build up a list of articles. The more posts you have the more easily you can be found by potential customers.
Thirdly, speaking of attracting potential customers, I have been posting articles over the last month that are geared directly toward questions my customers are asking. It is beginning to increase my views quickly. Considering I completed my first full month of blogging in Oct. 2011, my monthly views have gone from 59 in Oct to 72 in Nov, 89 in Dec, 118 in Jan and in Feb to date 2/25/12, I am at 195 with 4 days yet to go. I started to write content specific posts the last week of Jan. People are beginning to find me. I have my first client looking to set an initial appt because they liked what I was saying in my articles and I did not even know he was reading them. I had spoken to him many times over a 3 year period, but now he was willing to meet! I am hoping he is the first of many!
I will wrap up by saying that if you are a small business owner or just curious about this social media stuff, you own it to yourself to seek out the Chief and take a class or two. I know I am glad I did!
Blessings.
