Working on your 2020 Marketing Calendar? Here is some guidance from the experts about where to focus your social media efforts.
How To Measure Social Media
If you are not measuring your social media results, there is a REALLY good chance that you are wasting your social media time. Sorry, but this is reality.
It is so easy to get caught up in the social media hype and put effort into actions that have no results for you. Sure, XYZ Company ran an Instagram story and sold a million widgets. You hear such stories in the news. But the news clip doesn’t tell you how long they spent building their Instagram followers. It doesn’t tell you what they did to prepare for that one super successful story.
Your Instagram story results will be completely different.
Instead of chasing each shiny object, make a consistent, reasonable plan. Measure the results. When you see success in a platform or in a type of action, DO MORE!!
One of my favorite tools is the Marketing Calendar. It guides your actions and measures your success in one easy format. I’d be happy to work with you to set up your own Marketing Calendar and show you how to use it successfully. Let’s talk!

How to Use Facebook to Drive More Traffic to Your Blog
This article does a really nice job of outlining how to use FB posts to drive traffic to your website. They are talking about blogs specifically but the same principles work to drive traffic to any page of your website. We’ve talked about these steps before but I thought it would be good to hear the “lecture” from someone new! LOL
Please take time to read this! If you understand the overall principles, you and I can do a better job implementing the steps. You can call me with any questions this brings up.
Facebook posts can be very effective. But they don’t work as a shoot and splatter technique! They have to be purposeful.

How to Connect Instagram to Facebook
At last week’s Friday Free-For-All, I was asked about connecting Instagram to Facebook so you could make a post on Instagram and have it show up on Facebook. Click here to download the steps!
I want you to be a bit intimidated by this article. Why? Too many times we think of social media as making a post. And yes, make it on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn,… But there is more to social media than just making a post – IF – you want it to be a major part of your marketing campaign. There is a difference in having a “social presence” and really marketing via social media. This article is specifically about how to use Instagram but the concepts are the same for any social media. If you want impact, you have to customize to the specific platform. And you have to customize to the platform’s audience. So look at your marketing plan. Do you need a presence? Do you need real social activity? Then we can plan appropriately. Click here to read the article.
Social Media
Altimeter Group does an annual social media study. This year the results to their question about the “Primary Business Objective” of social media was a surprise. The #1 objective was customer service. The #2 objective was Relationship Building. Increasing sales was way down at #5!! I have the complete report if you would like a copy.
Anyone Can Post on Facebook Business Pages
Yesterday at my Womens Success Referral Group, the question came up of why you can’t always post on someone’s business page. The most likely answer is that they have their post set to only allow their posts.
Go to your Business Page
Go to Settings
Click on the General tab
The third option is Visitor Posts. Make sure it says Anyone can publish to the Page. If necessary, click the Edit link on the right and change the setting. Be sure to Save your change.
Then make sure your Notifications are set to let you know when activity happens on your Page.
Should someone make a negative post, you can delete it and block them from your Page.
Facebook Groups
A new emphasis from Facebook is Groups. They want us to form “meaningful” groups to communicate with. Posts from Groups will have higher priority in News Feed. Groups can be connected to your Business Pages. If you don’t have a group, set one up today!- « Previous Page
