Karlyn Ankrom Email and Phone Number
If you’re not online you don’t exist. Bottom line? You don’t need all the social networks that exist on the internet, but the ones you leverage most mean more now than ever. And just like there’s no singular concrete cocktail for social strategy systems, there’s no one way to attain that noteworthy, never-again-worry, indelible success.Social landscapes are changing, and this is how you stay a cut above the competition:1. Be Consistent. Social media is a long term game. Develop a schedule for yourself that you can keep up with. Start small and work your way to developing more content weekly, for example, versus monthly. 2. Know Your Audience. Develop audience personas/avatars so you have a clear picture of who your creating content for — speak their language and hang out online where they do. Master that social channel (or two) really well before expanding to others. 3. Create a Content Mix. The content mix consists of brand elements and content points that fall into content buckets around curated content, owned content, sales/promotions. Posting regularly is important but only if it's attached to measurable goals. It is vital that you have a social media manual that outlines both short term and long term goals to properly leverage social media throughout your marketing process including, bringing a prospect from discovering your company or brand, considering your solutions, and ultimately making the decision to buy. If you are in need of leveraging social media for yourself, business or brand, I invite you to have a conversation. Whether or not we decide to do business together, I am confident that our call will be full of insights and tangible tactics you can implement that same day to ramp up your social media efforts.
