TOP 3 SOCIAL PLATFORMSfor business growth

Facebook is the platform that scales! The mother ship of all social media platforms. Your customers are on Facebook.

Facebook: The Mothership

‣ Picture Platform (i.e. instagram)

!17

‣ Storytell With Images‣ Add Your Company Logo To Your Images‣ Think Mobile! / Think Speed!

‣ Think Mobile / Think Speed‣ Do Not Write Novels (time is the asset)

‣ CLEAR CALL TO ACTION!‣ Add URLs To The Copy (URLs Don’t Work In Pictures!)

Facebook is going to start penalizing those who abuse their content and their audience, for example…

Be Careful With Your Message

‣ Be Careful With Calls To Action

!18

‣ No Engagement = No Audience

‣ JABS VS. RIGHT HOOKS ‣ Think about the science of social media‣ Like boxing, you can’t throw “Right Hooks” all

day. Great boxers understand the art of the “JAB”. (source: @GaryVee)

Twitter is the only place where you can simply jump into other conversations - plus, you actually get rewarded for listening.

Twitter: The One True “Social” Platform

‣ Curate / DJ (share other people stuff) ‣ Create Lists (and use them) ‣ Listen (become an expert listener) ‣ Create Cards (use twitter cards!) ‣ Be Present (ex. thank those who interact with you) ‣ Practice Patience (rome wasn’t built in a day)

Education can be a powerful thing. When you’re seen as the expert, people will trust your solutions over a competitors.

LinkedIn: The B2B Dominator

‣ Answer Questions • Create good titles and content.

Think Mobile!

!23

‣ Leverage Newsjacking • When something is buzz-worthy, it creates high demand. • Align offers with “what’s hot.”

‣ Create Offers For Different Buying Stages • Someone at the top of your buying cycle may be more

interested in informational content like a guide or ebook, whereas someone more committed at the bottom of the cycle might be more interested in a free trial or demo.

• Create offers for each phase, and include a primary and secondary CTA to these offers on various pages throughout your site (landing pages highly recommended).
