Virtual Social Platform Building and Maintenance.

Too busy to spend hours a day responding, posting status updates and engaging with your online audience? You need a social media manager. Whether you need basic management of your social media profiles or full marketing management I’m here for you.

Gone are the days of newspaper ads and commercials. Who wants to read a newspaper when you can find out the latest news instantaneously online? Who wants to watch a commercial when you can DVR your favorite programs and skip right to the best parts? It’s all about the blogosphere. You want to get in front of your audience? Then you have to get online.

This doesn’t mean completely abandon all your other techniques it just means that you need to allocate some of your advertising budget for social media expenses. Time to get ahead.

Competition is stiff these days. If you want to stay “top of mind” you have to be very active and visible online. You can’t sway back and forth from being active to passive. If you are not in front of your target audience millions of others will be. The cool thing about social media is it’s an equal opportunity playground. No matter if you are giant in the business or the little guy starting out. You have the ability to become front and center through creative thinking, time and continuous effort. It doesn’t usually happen over night. You have to be committed. If you are committed then I’m your gal. My team and I offer superb reliable honest service. You won’t be disappointed! ~ Carol Lawrence owner of Social Media Help 4 U

While you nurture your business, We’ll nurture your online presence.

Recommendations & References

“I just wanted to let you know that someone that you “touched” in the social space was a blogger who has a small audience. He mentioned my website, and 100 new people found me as a resource. Now, despite the small victory, I mention it to you for another reason. The previous person in charge of social, used some auto-twitter-follower-thing that resulted in 600 followers, and not one visitor. You, however, replied “congratulations” to some guy taking a college final (or whatever it was). You tried to make a new friend. And as I have just shown, one friend can become hundreds. So, thank you. well done.” ~ John Ross

Please, please hire someone you trust. Whether it’s my company or another one make sure you hire someone with integrity. While I’ve never met anyone personally who would behave like this I have read the horror stories. Hiring a manager who indiscriminately tweets or shares racial or derogatory posts can ruin your reputation and set back your company branding. Take precautions and be proactive with your business presence.

Still undecided if you need a social media presence?

Here’s a few things to think about:

• Pinterest is driving huge! I mean huge traffic to websites. Pinterest already has over 10.4 million users and is being called the fastest growing social media site in history. Don’t miss jumping on this train!
• “Dell sold 3,000,000 worth of computers on twitter”
• While 14% of people trust ads, 76% of people trust consumer recommendations. With the advancement of social media and the speed of the Internet, word of mouth advertising is it! Very few people wait around for the nightly news or the Sunday sale ads. They hop online and see what their friends have to say. Start building your relationships today.
• More than 150 million users log on to Facebook at least once a day! Facebook now has over 1.06 billion monthly active users. 680 million mobile users!
• Pepsi pulled its advertising from Super Bowl 2010 choosing to spend $20M on its social media campaign.
• When president Obama was preparing the country for his big announcement, anyone following Twitter knew the surprise presidential broadcast was in reference to Bin Laden. President Obama has held several Twitter parties and used social media to the max to help win the election.

“Twitter represents a collective collaboration that manifests our ability to unconsciously connect kindred voices through the experiences that move us. As such, Twitter is a human seismograph.” – Brian Solis

“The Internet is nothing like it was even five years ago, when people endlessly surfed the web. Many people just don’t access information on the web that way anymore.” Dave Kerpen Likeable Social Media

“Every company says it cares about its customers, but so many don’t actually back up this claim on social networks, let alone elsewhere. You wouldn’t hang up the phone on a customer, or walk away from one face-to-face, so don’t ignore them on Facebook, Twitter, or any other online social networking medium either.” Dave Kerpen Likeable Social Media
