Don’t plan to sell on your Social Media accounts.
You want to engage the people that you contact and build your brand.

If having a Social Media account is worth $10 Google bucks
– Then posting original content is worth $100 Google bucks
– When that content is Liked or +1ed that’s worth $1,000 Google bucks
– When that content is Liked and Shared it’s worth $10,000 Google bucks
– And that’s engagement and building your brand

A 15 minutes per day. twice per week social campaign:

Consider the Sister Cities strategy:
– You join groups of people in your industry on LinkedIn
– Find someone you like that does what you do far away (non-compete)
– Offer to comment, Like, Share and +1 on their Facebook and Google+ pages if they’ll reciprocate on your Facebook and Google+ pages
– You’re in the same industry, it’s 100% relevant and will help everybody’s search engine ranking

Let’s discuss.
