Promoting Your Business Through Social Networks.

Social media for business

Using Social media is the cheapest way to promote your business and keep customers chatting about your business. Here are some quick and easy tips for using some of the most popular social networking sites — Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, and LinkedIn — to help you promoting your business.

Facebook

Set up a business page on Facebook and post special offers to all those who Like your page. And frequently ask questions to your customers about what they like and dislike about your company’s offerings.

Twitter

Use Twitter to tweet interesting things about your business or products and provide a link to that product page on your site. Send out short tips via Twitter on how to use your services or products.

YouTube

Create a YouTube channel for your online business and regularly add fun and useful videos and then encourage customers to view and share your videos with others.

Launch a video contest: Ask customers to create short videos of how they use your product or service.

LinkedIn

Create a LinkedIn profile and add links to your website; update your profile with new links, product reviews, books, or articles that you're reading, or other information so that this information appears to all the people in your network. And make sure that you join LinkedIn groups that may be popular with many of your customers and frequently post questions or comments related to the products or services you offer

Google+

Create circles in your personal Google+ profile that are set up specifically for your customers, your vendors, and others interested in your brand.

Post interesting content to your customers and other business-related circles and encourage feedback or comments on the content.

Considering these kinds of social networks to promote your business will also help your company to save money because promotion through social networks is very cheap. read more

 

Using Social Networks For Organising Events

Social Networks

Organising events using social networks can be one of our advantage to make an event to be successful. Using social networks to organise events can be a great experience for both event organisers and the attendees. What is interesting most about organising events using social networks is that you can reach your stakeholders faster and at the same time. Social networks improved our ways of organising events, unlike in the olden days where many people were  relying most on using invitation cards when they invite people to attend their events. This doesn't mean that people are no longer using invitation cards, some they are still using them but i think the easiest way is to adapt the use of social networks when organising events. The use of social networks can help event organisers to reach many people as possible.

As an event organiser i think it is very helpful to consider the following social networks tools when organising an event:

• Facebook- by creating a Facebook page for your event where you can post  updates about the event
• Twitter- by tweeting before the event and during the event to inform those who did not attend the    event about what is happening in the event.
• Blog- by  posting event updates and uploading pictures and videos.
• Myspace- by creating your own events and add events to send them to your friends.
• Linkedin- by using Linkedin Event Application, this will enable you as an event organiser to share your events on this application.read more

 



Using social networks for organising events will help you as an event organiser to keep in touch with all the attendees and stay connected to you through the use of social networks. For me social networks can be regarded as the top event planning tools.

One of the first rules most of us we should learn is to avoid offensive posts; this may include posts such as insults, violence posts,badmouthing other people on Facebook.

It is also important to avoid posting naked pictures on Facebook. There are many people who are posting naked pictures on Facebook because they are not yet aware that may harm their reputation. Posting naked pictures on Facebook is highly unacceptable but some people are still posting them. Lets manage our reputation by staying away from publishing illegal posts on Facebook. And don't forget that Facebook is automatically publishing posts under your name and make sure that whatever you post on Facebook represent yourself in a positive way.
