- What types of customers have you worked with?
I see social media in stages, although they do overlap: The Set up stage The Tactics and Strategy Measurement I spend the heaviest of my time investment creating online accounts, connecting them to sites like Ping.fm / Posterous/ OnlyWire (autoposting tools to social bookmarks, video, networking sites) I also determine if it makes sense to create profiles in top Alexa Article Directories sites (or a niche site (HR, Finance, etc.) If a person has content, it makes sense to repurpose them and submit to Article Directories, Share them in LInkedin groups; Add to social bookmarking sites, etc. Then there is the day to day management and maintenance. I focus on growing ideal followers by seeking and selecting; I find fresh content to share across all channels and create a presence for you on those sites, and get you connected with your community to build your rapore and reputation. There will be a time where you will be able to engage daily with my guidance, and it will become part of your lifestyle. So I kickstart you by setting up your landscape, tactics, and editorial calendar, after awhile you will have your own style.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Before you hire someone who claims to be a social media expert, know first of all, there are no "experts" as social media is a new form of marketing which compliments traditional marketing. Check out the person you want to hire by typing their name into Google search tool bar, and see how much of an online presence they have, read their blogs, watch their videos, see the type of activity they have on Twitter, FaceBook Page, Linkedin, even social bookmarking sites. Don't be afraid to ask alot of questions, and do a one - three month trial. It takes time to see results from social media marketing efforts, and it also takes time to form a bond with your social media specialist.
