How Social Media Worked for my Colleague
My colleague, Linda Daley, Daley Progress, wrote a great newsletter article last week about how just a few minutes on social media benefited her business recently. I thought it was worth sharing. What could these few minutes do for YOUR business? We can help you get started today.
If You Can’t Do It ALL
by Linda Daley
I have to admit, I’ve been guilty of using social media to stay connected. Oh yes, I know there’s a whole relationship-building aspect that I’m missing out on big time. The value of social media tools really struck me this weekend as I checked in on my website stats. On Thursday evening I had updated the events listing on my website. Instead of simply posting this on my LinkedIn profile as usual, I decided to post it to a few of the LinkedIn Groups of which I’m a member. Look what happened to my website page views:
So a few people visited my website — what does that really mean? Well, here’s what else happened:
- 4 complete strangers subscribed to my newsletter
- A few thank-you’s were posted in the groups
- 3 complete strangers emailed thanking me and complimenting me on my website
- 5 new LinkedIn connections
- Increased views of my LinkedIn profile
- 3 new Twitter followers
