There are several things that all businesses need to do to be ready for 2010. It’s going to be a big year. Things are going to get more social.
Are you ready for it?
I am going to give you a few of MY tips.
These tips have not been approved by the Social Media Gods (LOL), but they are my very own suggestions on how you can be ready for the year ahead of us.
1. Begin implementing video into your marketing efforts Online.
I know that video isn’t for everyone and I myself need to follow this rule and actually will soon. Even if you are not good on camera you surely can head on over to animoto and make a cool slide.
Add some images, choose a song and you are good to go!
DON’T FORGET TO LINK TO YOUR MAIN SITE WHEN YOU POST YOUR VIDEO/SLIDE ON YOUTUBE!
2. Research
Yes this means exactly what it means in the dictionary! You need to research and see what you aren’t doing that you should or maybe research what you are doing that isn’t working so you can try something new. Also, research new Social sites. As much as I hate to say it…Twitter may not be one of the top 20 sites Online forever and Facebook may not stay at #2 for long which is why you and your brand need to stay ahead of the curve. Get in there before the rush. Get to know the sites inside and out before your competition does.
3. Keep an eye on Alexa.com
Are you using the top 20 sites Online to your benefit already? If you aren’t I would like to know what you are waiting for. These sites are where you want to be now and if you aren’t already using them then forget my #2 suggestion for now and work on this one.
NOTE: Not every site on the Alexa Top 20 is going to work for everyone, but most will.
As I stated in the beginning of this post, these are my suggestions, not everyone will agree with them, but since when does everyone agree on anything?
