I would like to introduce you to my new social media partner Joanna Carides, Brand New Day Media, LLC.

Become More Social in 2010!
You may be thinking, “What is she talking about? I have enough on my plate and really can’t add anything else.” You’ve got a lot going on. Everyone does these days.
Still, you can make your customer/client relationships that much stronger by using social media in a smart, efficient way.
Here are a few tips to help you out:
- For 20 minutes, before you start your workday
- Draft an email to 1 or 2 contacts you’d like to (re)connect with via your facebook fan page. Be sure to include your facebook fan page URL. Tell them why you want them to join you on facebook (info, tips, strategy, events). Save the email drafts.
- Review your Twitter followers and decide whom you want to follow back. Remember, you don’t have to follow everyone that follows you.
- Post a morning Tweet. Greet your followers with a positive quote or share what inspires you today.
- For 15 minutes, at the end of your workday
- Review, tweak, and send out those 1 or 2 emails (see above) inviting key contacts to join you on facebook. Note: personalize each email to the individual recipient.
- Post a closing Tweet. Share with your followers something special that happened today. Or pose a question to your group. The number of people who respond by the next morning will surprise you. This is a great way to organize your Twitter topics and keep people on point.
By the way, another benefit of using my tips is gaining free time for you to actually get out and meet some of the terrific people with whom you’ve been electronically communicating. Now, wouldn’t that be nice for a change?
