The Constant Struggle with Time
We all can say today that time is just flying by…. The day slips away and many tasks are left undone. Your Facebook Business Page is probably one of them… If it’s not working right away in this instant gratification world…than we abandon it. Silly social media doesn’t work, I know I tried it..(not for long enough to gain any traction, but you tried it)
Wrong way to use social media… this new world of marketing is an everyday commitment or at least every other day. It should take you about 15 minutes to remind the world you exist… I am in my news feed everyday and somehow some of you are there too – congratulations!
You know I am having relationships with people I’ve met only once, I am getting to know them through their content and their commenting… I am building a referral network in all kinds of industries… this never happened over night, it has taken months and months of continuous nurturing…just a little everyday… A LIKE here a COMMENT there… Little by little Keep It Simple Social Media is growing a data base of interesting & exciting people, while at the same time reading valuable information that I can use in everyday life – even if it is with a simple quote… I myself appreciate quotes of the day…
Facebook is making me think a little differently when I go outside, I sometimes say to myself “This stunning view would be great on Facebook” and then I snap a shot for my archives or posting of the day to share with my new community.
When I’m out shopping as I am paying for my goods I ask the clerk “Do you have a Facebook Business Page I could LIKE?”
Simple quick little ways to improve my page and my Talking About… EdgeRank…I’m never in a hurry when at the till… it is a great opportunity to meet someone new and share a few details about myself… Doesn’t take but one minute to do this simple thing….
