Are You Working Your Social Net?

Your social net is about developing friends, working your network, helping, sharing and making friends. What do friends do? They help each other, do they?

So, how does this effect your business? For many social media or their net is not working as people find it a massive drain on their time and wondering what kind of results will I get if I did use Social Media? To me, it’s like saying I want a guarantee before I venture out there. Let me ask you what are you doing now? What is working? What’s not?

Your social net will work for you, when you work it. Do customers buy your product and ask for a guarantee before they buy? Do you write up a clause in your contracts - if you don’t like the work you don’t have to pay? No. Most people don’t.

How do you get your social net to work for you?

1. Ask questions, answer other peoples’ questions in forums or groups
2. Engage the members by sharing an article or post or resource, not just to your site but to other things that are relevant to the groups needs.
3. Do a poll
4. Put yourself out there, whether it online or offline, if you don’t show up know one will have an opportunity to know and like you
5. Start loving people, guide them, mentor them
6. How can you help someone else? Ask them.
7. Be your own friend and think about how you can be a friend for someone else
8. Be positive, update your profile, include a picture of yourself, it builds instant repore and trust, besides it's just good business. People want to know who you are.
9. Be friendly, encourage others
10 Share your ideas
