I’m no expert in business, I’ve not been in the game long enough. Something I’ve learned quite quickly is that to be successful in business you need to build as many bridges as possible, build your network. I attended my first networking event last week and it was an incredible experience. It was an opportunity to meet like minded individuals with similar ambitions to my own. Everyone had different businesses but it was clear that almost everyone could offer one another some value. The creation of win win scenarios is something Richard Branson preaches often and I’m a big believer in this. I want to bring my customers disproportionate value, I always want to think about the customers needs and not my own. I think this is the best way to build strong bridges, strong connections and strong relationships. Build those bridges people. What are your thoughts on building your network in business? #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #smchat #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach #vaynernation #businessstartup #businessmind #startuptips #startupstory #startupnation #startupadvice

You cannot afford to fear failure in business or in life. If you allow fear of failure to control you then it’s unlikely you’ll take the actions that can truly move you forward. A common them amongst the worlds most successful people is that they all embrace failure. They know it’s a key component of success. If you fail, learn from it. Understand why what you did didn’t work. Take this lesson forward with you. Do this enough and before you know it, you’ll have achieved your goal. #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #smchat #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach #vaynernation #businessstartup #businessmind #startuptips #startupstory #startupnation #startupadvice

In today’s episode my tip is a simple one. If you’re going to be on social media platform, ensure you’re actually active on the platform or you’ll end up doing your business more harm than if you weren’t on the platform. What are your thoughts on this? #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #smchat #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach #vaynernation #businessstartup #businessmind #startuptips #startupstory #startupnation #startupadvice

Recently I attended a networking event with entrepreneur in my city and the common challenge they were facing with regards to social media was having the time to produce engaging content. I completely understand, especially for small businesses who cannot afford a full time resource. If you’re finding it tough to find the time to succeed on social media then really consider the amount of channels you’re on and ensure you’re not spreading yourself too thin by trying to be on 3 or more platforms. What challenge are you facing? #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #smchat #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach #vaynernation #businessstartup #businessmind #startuptips #startupstory #startupnation #startupadvice

In tonight’s episode my tip is to educate your customers, more specifically educate them on why your product or service is important to them. I give an example in this episode which is specific to car bodywork repair business but it can be applied to almost any business. Are you educating your customer? #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #smchat #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach #vaynernation #businessstartup #businessmind #startuptips #startupstory #startupnation #startupadvice

I hope you enjoy this business update, still a long way to go. I’m moving forward slowly and steadily, ensuring I’ve got solid foundations to build my business on. The journey brings me joy, excitement and new opportunities. Who else is trying to build a business? #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #smchat #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach #vaynernation #businessstartup #businessmind #startuptips #startupstory #startupnation #startupadvice

In tonight’s episode I share my experience with Twitter. A lesson I learned is not to push, push and push more content. Twitter is a tool for getting involved in conversation. How do you use Twitter? #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

Creating a Facebook marketing plan? Once you’ve set your goals, you need to create a plan for how to achieve them. A key part of your plan is determining the right content mix. We recommend starting with either the 80-20 rule or the social media rule of thirds. If you follow the 80-20 rule, you’ll use 80% of your Facebook posts to inform, educate, and entertain, and the other 20% to directly promote your brand. Remember that using Facebook for business is all about building relationships, and constantly pitching your product is not a great way to do so. But if you provide enough valuable content to keep your followers engaged, they’ll be open to learning about your products and services in those 20% of posts that offer a more soles-focused message. The social media rule of thirds also prescribes a good mix of valuable content and promotional posts: one-third of your content should share ideas and stories, one-third should involve personal interactions with your followers, and the remaining third can directly promote your business. #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

The right approach to social media starts with investing in a few of the right channels, as opposed to trying to be everywhere aimlessly. Meaningful impact on social media requires a significant investment of time and resources, this is why you need to be strategic about your channel choices. Take your time and research a few channels that make the most sense for your organisation. This way, your company can make small investments on 2 to 4 social media networks instead of haphazardly trying to spend time on eight different platforms. #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

In today’s episode my tip is to define your audience. This is the foundation to a good social media strategy. If you don’t define your audience then you’re wasting your time. If you don’t know who you’re targeting then how do you know which channel to market on and what type of content to produce? #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

My tip in tonight’s episode is to focus less on self promotion and more on producing engaging content for your customers. What’s your opinion on this? #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

In today’s episode my tip is to employ @garyvee $1.80 strategy with the aim of solidifying your brand as part of a community. Check out his video on YouTube by search Gary Vaynerchuk $1.80 strategy #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

If @elonmusk can make the time to listen to his customers then what’s your excuse? Listening to your customers has so many advantages, for example: you’ll learn what’s work and what’s not so you can adjust your product/service accordingly, you’ll build strong relationships with your customers which will lead to brand loyalty which of course leads to more sales, your customers will generate content for you because they know you’re watching and there’s a chance you’ll respond (free advertising) but to name a few. How do you listen to your customers? Are you listening to them? Are you taking action on the back of it? #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

My tip for your brand or business today is to start introducing social listening into your social media strategy. That is, listen to what people are saying about your brand on social media. Are they complaining about one of your products? Are they raving about a piece of content? Look for themes. #mmchat #socialmediatalk #socialmediatips #socialmediaexperts #brandchat #smchat #smmanners #socialchat #socialmedia #smtips #socialmediamarketing #growthhacking #biztips #smallbiz #content #contentmarketing #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #engagement #marketingstrategy #marketingtips #marketingtools #marketingsocial #marketingcoach #marketingcompany #marketingadvice #marketinghelp #socialmediaexpert #socialmediatools #socialmediacoach

SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY It amazes me that businesses still have no social media strategy. They are literally wasting their time posting content with no strategy. How do you know what’s working if you’re not measuring? How do you know what your customers want if your not employing social listening? How do you expect to grow your brand exposure if you’ve not studied where your customers attention is? How can you expect to meet your business goals when you’ve not finalised a paid ad plan? These are some the key components of a social media strategy. Has your business got a social media strategy? Look, every business will have a different strategy. A business that produces and delivers fresh pizza will have a very different strategy to a business that sells software to other businesses.

Here’s a marketing tip for owners of a #gelato I would put out an incredible photo of my most popular ice cream accompanied by some contextual text that outlines why this ice cream is so awesome AND I would add a discount code. People should be instructed to bring this code into your shop to receive a given discount (maybe BOGOF). Why would I do this? Number 1, it will bring you customers. Number 2, it allows you to calculate the ROI for the ad. How? Because you can calculate the profits from the customers who came in with the discount code. Ok, you won’t be able to check the long term ROI of the add but the one off will do as you can experiment what type of content has the best ROI. Obviously you will run the add against people in your area.
