HOW TO STAY SAFE USING

SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGIES

IN 2012

Even if you are doing everything right, it is tough to stay up with social media marketing in 2012 for many reasons.

Both a proactive and

preventative approach,

this mindset and habit is

what will keep your

business running for the

rest of this year.

Social media is here to stay so if

you are in business it is a

necessary part of doing business

in the world of connectivity.

Remember that social media is

tied into reputation

management so your goal is to

react smoothly and promptly,

handling the situation in the

best way that you can.

Like a giant chess game,

social media giants are

always making changes,

keeping the field

hopping, and the people

playing guessing games

How many times has Google

and Facebook changed up

their platforms? I rest my

case.

Instead of building links the

same way that you have before,

you have to become a little more

creative when doing it this way.

Solid inbound links are still

imperative for good exposure so

apply the strategy appropriately

and you will be rewarded with

good visitors. In a way, Google is

monitoring how you are doing

your business, and who exactly is

linking back to you.

When you think about Google,

remember that they are looking

at your marketing and traffic in

terms of sociability too.

What you want to do is take

that traffic, get them to

respond to you, thus

monetizing your linking efforts

to the maximum extent.

If you want to rank in Google, then there are many things you will need to do that amount to playing Google's game.

One such important item is filling out

your Google+ profile as much as

possible and then updating it. It is a

known fact that people with an updated

Google+ profile will get more organic

traffic than others. Make sure to have a

personal profile page and also a

business plus page. Just forget about

everything you usually worry about in

regard to your privacy.

It is very important that you update the profile

so that you will see a large surge in traffic come

to your website or business in a huge way.

If you want to communicate effectively and to

your advantage on social media, then there is a

lot you can do with that. It is so easy to leverage

human nature, using peer pressure to effect a

change in the decisions that people make.

Many people cannot handle the

intense social pressure that

happens online.

You can't help but listen to when

people say something bad about you,

hanging on their every word.

But you need to be able to defend yourself and tell your

audience what is really going on, and see what they

have to say about the opinions of your detractors.

By communicating with

people in this way, you

can do this properly and

make your business even

more successful. This is all

about the herd mentality,

and not about

manipulating people

because of this social

factor. You can get more

clients with strategic

positioning on this blog

There is always something valuable

to talk about; just keep looking and

listening and you will find it.

Social media is one of the best

ways to funnel prospective

clients to your business

through this advertising

medium. By keeping in touch

with the audience, you can

utilize social media to its

maximum potential.
