Posted: August 22, 2011 |
One of the reasons many businesses do not take advantage of social media is because they don't know what to do and how to generate interest from viewers. Storeboard.com was built for businesses to promote themselves and for this reason makes it easier than other social media site out there. Here are 10 Tips to get the most out of Storeboard and other social media sites. 1. Make Friends - The reason sites like Storeboard are referred to as "Social" Media sites is that they are social. In order to really take full advantage of the site you have to make friends. Of course, you should "friend" people, but also take a few minutes and review their profile and get to know them. You can always send any questions or compliments their way by inmail. 2. Complete Your Profile - One of the benefits of your Storeboard profile is that Google searches will now find you. You want the people that are conducting those searches (your future customers) to know you and have a great impression of your company. If you are not sure what you need to do complete your profile, click on "Manage Profile" and then click on "What Do I Need to Complete My Profile"? and you will see a list of required items. 3. Follow Others – On Storeboard and Twitter you can follow other members. Go to View Members and Follow other members by clicking on the footprint icon below their profile image. You will then be kept updated on their activities. Ask them to follow you back and you will start to see connections and things you have in common. You never know, you will learn something new, find a good deal, and make a friend. 4. Post Blogs – When you post a blog on Storeboard, it actually gets read! The reason is that we showcase it on our Board which is visible to everyone. It is also posted in our Blogs Section of the Dashboard as well as the Blogs page and the Classifieds. You get a lot of free exposure and other Members learn about you. We also frequently share the blogs (if they are informative more than simply advertisements) on a variety of other social media sites again giving you even more exposure. 5. QuickLinks – Quicklinks are a great way to tell the other members about a great article or website. They are fast and get all the exposure of blogs. You simply click on QuickLink in “Your Storeboard” and fill out the form. 6. Share Your Media – I can’t emphasize enough that one of the major benefits of Storeboard is that we allow you to share your media on all other major social media sites. Click on “Share Media” and simply select the type of media you want to share and then the specific piece that you created and then share it on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Myspace, Google, and Digg! The whole process will take about 5 minutes to share your blog or video all of these sites and you will see immediate results. If you have some media you never shared before, go there now and try it out! It’s a great tool. 7. Build Up Your Other Networks – While Storeboard is a great site for promoting your business, you should also participate in all of the social media sites and add friends. You should definitely build networks on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and SaleSpider to name a few. The more people you know, the more will know you. 8. Post Videos – If you have original videos, then you should post them on your Storeboard profile. But even if you don’t, it’s really easy to upload Youtube Videos on Storeboard. First, go to Youtube and look for videos that relate in some way to your business and that can help or interest your prospective clients. Be sure to watch the video first to make sure it represents your business in a professional manner. Click on “Upload Media” on Your Storeboard and select “Upload Videos.” Follow the instructions and you will have videos attached to your profile that you can share on Storeboard and on all of your social media sites to draw attention to your profile and your business. 9. Share Storeboard with Your Friends – If you like the site, encourage your friends to sign up. While there are a lot of sites out there and your friends may not want to join another, tell them what you like about Storeboard and how it can benefit their business. A Personal Invitation goes a long way. This can now be something that the two of you have in common that can strengthen your business or personal relationship. 10. Need Help?
