- Set up a Google alert for your brand and engage the people who are talking about you, wherever they are talking.
- Set up alerts for your industry (especially if no one is talking about your brand).
- You don’t HAVE to have a Facebook page.
- Use Facebook advertising, it’s cheap.
- Keep an eye on what people near you are saying on Twitter.
- Spend some time each day reading about what other people are doing. There are 1 billion social media marketing blogs out there. Reading blogs is much easier than writing blogs.
- Create a community of interest around what you do. It takes time, but it’s worth it.
- Don’t start something you can’t finish or maintain properly or it’s a waste of time and you’re better of with Google Ads.
- Use LinkedIn as a networking tool. Join groups and ask questions.
- If you want people to talk about you, be creative (or pay someone who is).
