Commandment #1. Thou Shall Blog Like Crazy<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Your blog is your first priority for your Social Media Marketing. Set up a blog, a personal blog, a business blog. It is easier than you think. Use an existing blogging<\/a> or install your own branded blogging site right on your own server by using WordPress. Don\u2019t be lazy. To get the results you need to stay active!<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment \u00a0#2.<\/span><\/b> Thou Shall Upload Lots of Photos<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Upload as many good photographs as you have. Now this doesn\u2019t mean you should be uploading pictures of you dancing on a table top wearing a lampshade.\u00a0Customers and potential customers want to see photographs of you. Your audience will want to put a face with the person and business.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Also, be careful when using Google Images. Make sure they are not copy written.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment \u00a0#3. Thou Shall be your true self<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Be yourself. Don\u2019t try to be something that you are not and don\u2019t be scared to be Real. People do recognize a fake person. Show your value to your customers and be true to yourself. If you are promoting something, you need to actually use the product. You can promote other people\u2019s success by telling other people\u2019s stories.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment #4. Thou Shall Upload all the Videos You Can Find<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Post videos, more videos, and then some more videos. They can be customer videos, training videos, or entertaining videos. So grab the video camera and get comfortable in front of a camera. You can also grap other You Tube video\u2019s to place them on your blog about how to create or train to do something.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment \u00a0#5. Make your blog flowing to the eye<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

You want people to read your blog. Use the proper text formatting, and \u201cwhite Space\u201d to break up the blog.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment #6. \u00a0Thou shall create profiles everywhere<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Create your profiles sooner rather than later because if someone else takes them, they are gone forever. So get busy \u2013 get out there now and start creating your profiles. You can use Open Social to make the filling out of each profile as easy as 1,2,3 and a click of a button.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment # 7. Thou Shall Get Connected With Everyone<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Get connected by signing up to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites. On your email signature put that you have a LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter account. Also include it on your business cards, on your letterhead, and anywhere else where there is an opportunity to promote your social media presence.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

.Join groups, like pages, and interact as much as possible. The more you interact and engage in discussion the more your following will grow and the more your business will prosper. Your comments and discussions should offer information that\u2019s relevant, and interesting.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Facebook is a good place to start followed by Twitter, and YouTube. Once you\u2019ve created your profiles, set up your page(s), you are ready to begin to enjoy all that social media has to offer. It won\u2019t take you long at all to put your plan into play.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment \u00a08. Thou Shall Comment on a Multitude of Blogs.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Commenting on blogs is a bit like having a chat at a cocktail party. Just as you would not walk into a cocktail party or event walk up to a group that\u2019s chatting and tell them your name and your business, you shouldn\u2019t do it on a blog. Posting a comment on a blog is fine but you don\u2019t want to come across as rude. So first listen by reading the posts and then make a comment post. It\u2019s okay to be controversial or voice your opinion even if it doesn\u2019t agree with the posters opinion, but you must do it in a manner that\u2019s respectful. There\u2019s a great opportunity here to promote your business so don\u2019t miss out on it. Subscribe to people who already have success.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment #9. Thou Shall Explore Social Media for a Minimum of 30 Minutes Per day<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Every day you should explore social media for at least 30 minutes. Of course, longer is better. So why not grab a cup of coffee and park yourself in front of your computer for 30 minutes and start searching. Using Google search engine is effective way to search to find social media sites. This is also a good way to look at expanding into other social media sites<\/span>.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Commandment \u00a0#10. Thou Shall be Creative<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Of all the commandments, this is by far the most important. Have some fun and let your creativity flow. Know what your customers want and expect and then provide that to them in a manner that catches their attention. Remember your audience wants transparency, authenticity, to be able to communicate openly, and to have a little fun. People like a little \u201cGoofy\u201d.\u00a0Write your blog like you are writing with your friends and when doing\u00a0a video that you are talking with them.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

These Ten Commandments will guide you in your quest for maximizing social media marketing<\/strong>.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Social Media Marketing is the key to the success of any business. When you recognize the power of social media marketing you will be miles ahead of the competition. So are you ready to take your business to new levels? Are you ready to jump start your client base?
