Are you using social media in your home business? Twitter and Facebook are top social media applications. They both have a lot of users and you should think about adding your home business to the social media applications.
Facebook and twitter are two of the large social media networks. Another more professional network is called LinkedIn. How do social networks operate? People create profiles on the networks. They include personal and business information including status updates, pictures, videos and more.
Get your profile created and dive into social media. You don't have to do a lot to get started. Just fill in the information that you are comfortable sharing online. Create a brief description of your services and make sure to include it in the area provided by the social network.
Now what do you do? Find your friends and family online. There are many people on social networks that you probably already know. As soon as you sign up for the services, don't be surprised for requests to get added as a friend, follower, or link. Your online network can grow rather quickly as people from as far back as your elementary school will start to get in touch with you.
Post status updates. Depending on the social application that you are using, you can update your status of what is going on with you. People talk about all kinds of things using social media. They comment on breaking news, what is going on in their life, and even what they are eating. The point of using social media is not to do hard selling online. It is to interact with the larger social group.
Making your first tweet will probably be the hardest one. After that, it will start to feel natural to post online. Post links to your blog posts. Talk about the business, and talk about anything else that you want. You do want to make sure that what you post you are comfortable with sharing online. Once you add something to the web it is going to be there for good.
So there you have it. Get your home business ready for social media. Get started today.
