How To Use Social Networking Effectively For Business [Social Networking Guidelines]
http://www.BrianandKrystiHorwitz.com Social networking has become a necessity for people on a personal level and a business level. With the web 2.0 movement taking a strong hold over internet users across the globe, sites like facebook, twitter, youtube, and many others have become a staple.
As a marketer or a business owner, the question remains, Is it worth it to spend time in the social networking world online? The answer is Yes. With over 1.6 billion people online everyday there is no question that any business will benefit from this social media and social networking movement. The trick is making sure you have the right approach.
I recently wrote a blog post on how to have a successful Facebook business page (http://tr.im/zbfq). The fact is whether youre on Facebook, twitter or any other social networking sitethe rules are pretty much the same. Here are a few tips to write down that way you too can experience what it feels like to have success with social networking. Its pretty simple:
1) Be Authentic with the information youre providing
2) Let people know who you are and where youre from be human and relatable
3) PROVIDE VALUE (this is key!)
4) Get your readers, followers, audience engaged by asking questions and getting feedback
5) Create Relationships
When you put the focus on your readers rather than a marketing message, youll have a completely different experience. You will be meeting people, having real conversations and creating real relationships. When all of this happens the success will come and all of the time spent on your social networking campaign will be more than worth it.

Hello Kristi:
I watched your video twice and you did a great job explaining value and being open with others and telling them what you are doing like a friend would. Lets see you take good notes on a good conference call you hear, put it on video share it with friends in your words, then you are the expert!!

Krysti, good points all around. I’ve been providing solid content for awhile now, and it really does set you apart from all the spammers and “me too” marketers.
LIfestyle posts, while front upon at the beginning of social media “What I’m eating right now” type of posts, are in fact, very interesting to your followers.
Rock on,
Lawton
