Follow me to learn the mistakes made by small businesses that are trying to get their businesses Buzzed On Facebook and MySpace.
That’s right, and yes, you too can start learning how to get Buzzed effectively. These are the social media giants without the social aspects of Social Media. At best, they may be fun to interact with because my activities on Facebook, RunningRescuetime, and Twitter bring a worldwide audience to your blogs and tastes.

I recommend starting with only 3 user privileges but providing opportunities to become a premium user. But before you get your social persona locked in, let’s discuss my first recommendation is to copy or at least manage your social presence if you are a Bixi or a community-centered business. I have a lot of access to this demographic and may even develop a position of authority over my friend or follower.
Your first goal is to get people following you, and hopefully, those following you will read, “your tweets Advice”. Here is a LC Kurblog article that will provide some insight in property placement techniques and they share the advice that once you have the following, people love to “theater,” as they say it’s like GRAM queues in twitter land. Make sure your blog frequently – you know your best posts will come before others because other businesses are following you for their own benefits. At Least monthly is best. A good rule of thumb is 5-10 posts per week if you have 200+ followers. Meaning one post per week 1-2 times a week or 50- 80 per week. My best advice is to use tweetdeck.com to create your social media marketing. They are free, and my favorite platform is the free version.

They may not use it anymore, but if you have them up and running, your company will get recognition, and your competitors will not.
The last task to gain the most from your social media efforts: respond! Just responding to tweets is key to creating buzz and leads to more and more followers. You can answer, and I mean respond to silly questions or quips with “Thank you” or “Check that out in my blog”. Then this will boost everyone’s followers. Once they have maxed out your follower count, moving on to open conversations is the next step, as you can engage in those conversations with great industry and industry-specific content. What do the best Bixi’s do? They are open to communication with followers.

Make sure you keep up with your industry, and even more so if you hire a professional marketer who know what their audience is interested in. If your favorite color is a certain shade, they advise by asking what shade will actually be in on the site. What is your web traffic trending down the year? Google Analytics plus Twitter Analytics is where most will check at.
