Ask Yourself, Are My Social Media Profiles Set Up Properly?

Maybe it’s time to take another look at your profile content on the mail social media channels you use for your business.

WHICH NETWORKS ARE FOR ME?
Make sure you are utilizing the 3 or 4 main channels where most of your potential clients, guests frequent.
Be certain to have a Facebook presnece, and then choose 2 of the other big ones, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Slideshare or You Tube.
It’s impossible to think that you can be on all these and do a good job engaging with followers comments and responding to questions. That’s why we recommend starting out with just 3 or 4. You won’t get overwhelmed and you will reach more people in your target market. If you are a professional coach, then you definitely need to have a presence on LinkedIn and Facebook and perhaps Google+. If you have an online fashion store, then Instagram and Pinterest make great choices, as they are mostly photo driven social media sites.
YOUR PROFILE NAME
When you are setting up your profiles, try to get the same name for each one. It will be easier for you to remember if they are similar and it will also be easier for friends, and followers to find you an all the channels you are using for your business.
YOUR AVATAR
An avatar, is the way that people will recognize you in their feeds, so please don’t have a different avatar on each social media! Keep them common across all the sites you are using. This way people will get used to seeing that beautiful face and remember who you are. Generally, it is best to have a real photo of you for your avatar. And never leave your avatar blank.
DESCRIPTION
Use a similar description on each social media network to keep your profiles in line with each other. Use Keywords, and make the most out of the space allowed per channel by describing what you do and why they would want to follow you. Alway include a link to your website that they can visit to learn more.

5 Fantastic Facebook Post Types That Increase Engagement

5 Fantastic Facebook Post Types That Increase Engagement
1) Questions – Ask your tribe questions and seek engagement with your fans.
This is probably one of the easiest methods to get responses, dialogue and comments.
You can post a status update with a photo and end it with a question to engage your followers. Just think,
if you did not ask a question, they may read your post and move on.
Example here from Inc. Magazine.

2) Fill in the blanks posts also spark engagement. The blanks act like creative avenues
for people to be creative. These type posts are fun and make interaction fun, interesting and definitely worth while.
Example from Fancy Feast.

3)Photos are definitely necessary to gain more exposure on Facebook. Including pictures in your status updates assures
you more visibility and could be worth a lot of likes, shares and comments. You know the saying “A picture is worth a thousand words?” Well it’s very true on Facebook.
Example from The Huffington Post.

4)Quotes inspire people and are easy to create. Use a free online program like www.canva.com or www.picmonkey.com
to create a background and use a funky text to make the letters for your quote.
Quotes get a lot of shares, likes and are very personal to your followers. How often should you post inspirational quotes,
we’d say about once a week is a reasonable goal.
Example from Inn Social Media Marketing.

5)Tips Posts are always helpful and engaging. Include what the tips mean to you and how you may be using them personally or in your business.
5 Tips on the new Spring Wardrobe “Must Haves”
3 Most Read Business Books and the lessons you’ve personally learned from them.
Example from Mari Smith’s Page.

BONUS

6) Videos Many Facebook Pages only have videos because they are so engaging and reach more followers organically than other types of posts. All types of videos are being used on Facebook, animated, live action, animated text words and more. Example video post from Nike.

What kind of posts are your favorite? List the ones that get more engagement and comments, we’d love to hear from you over on our Facebook Page http://Facebook.com/InnSocialMediaMarketing

How to Beat Facebook Odds

Our Blog

Facebook is fast approaching 2 Billion visitors a day. Currently at 1.49 billion and counting. Almost everyone you know or don’t know is on Facebook so how do you beat Facebook odds?

Reaching all your friends is getting harder and harder each day. 100% of the amount of people you are connected with just will not see your posts. I’m not going to even guess at the % that will, as it varies by each post and the Facebook Algorithm is not known and is very confusing. Suffice it to say that unless you pay to boost your post or run ads on Facebook you will only connect with some of your friends. But there are ways to increase your odds of reaching more followers and friends.

Here’s today’s Facebook Reach lesson. I’ve seen it myself, and one of the best ways to up your Facebook Reach is by GETTING MORE COMMENTS, and having more interaction with your friends.

This is not hard to do. Here are our tips and ways you can accomplish this:

-Ask open ended questions that stir reaction and comments from your followers

-When you receive comments, comment back and keep the interaction going. The more comments, the more people will get involved and your reach will expand.

-Hold contests and get votes on A or B

-Post Pictures not just text posts

-Always include links if you are sharing interesting information -Post lists as status updates

-Post pictures with quotes that hold special meaning to you (brand them with your website URL.

-Offer surveys, if you are trying to gather information from your friends There are a lot of other ways too, I know, these just came to mind today.

You may wish to try some over the next month and see if that helps you beat Facebook odds. Keep watching your Facebook analysis to see the difference in your page and profile response rate.

Carlene is an online marketing wiz and social media manager as well as a past InnKeeper who knows what B and B’s need to propel their online marketing.
