Get Personal With Twitter<\/h3>\n<p>Get creative by\u00a0<strong>using video<\/strong> to connect on Twitter. \u00a0You can use Twitter\u00a0Vsnap\u00a0to send\u00a0personalized videos. <strong>Vsnap<\/strong> is a tool that allows you to record a video message with a maximum length of 60 seconds. <strong>Use it<\/strong> to send a personal video message to a follower on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Making these short video messages personable is easy.\u00a0<strong>Look at your target\u2019s Twitter bio to see if something interesting jumps out and use this to craft your message<\/strong>. Or\u00a0<strong>say thanks to someone who shared your content<\/strong>\u00a0or became a new follower. <strong>Answer a question someone has about your company<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses have already found\u00a0several creative uses for Twitter\u2019s Vine app, which allows you to take 6-second video clips. \u00a0These short videos can be fun to watch and\u00a0<strong>encourage viewers to connect with you further<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Your Vine videos don\u2019t have to only be about your products. Here are<strong>\u00a0some other uses your company might want to consider to connect with your audience<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An upcoming Hangout or webinar<\/li>\n<li>Individual Vine videos for different teams<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging customers to Vine about your business<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\u00a0#2: Use Google+ to Create Valuable Conversations<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Get active <\/strong>in the right <strong>Google+ Communities.<\/strong> Google+ Pages are able to take part in Google+ Communities like any other user: <strong>Pages<\/strong> can create, join, moderate and participate.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are there\u2019s already a Community that fits your company\u2019s industry. \u00a0Join the discussion, if not,\u00a0<strong>make a new Community and invite others to join<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Google+ Communities, check out\u00a0this article from Mike Delgado.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use Google+ Hangouts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0Google+ Hangouts, your Page can\u00a0<strong>start a video chat with up to nine people<\/strong>. This is a great opportunity to\u00a0<strong>connect with your audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>#3: Participate in LinkedIn Groups<\/h3>\n<p>LinkedIn Company Pages can feature up to three groups on their page in an effort to have more people join the group(s).<\/p>\n<p>Much like Google+ Communities,\u00a0participating in LinkedIn Groups\u00a0is another opportunity to\u00a0<strong>join the discussion in your company\u2019s industry and answer questions<\/strong>. As an added bonus, more professionals in your field will see your company.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great opportunity for you to\u00a0<strong>get more visibility for your business<\/strong>\u00a0and to interact<strong> with people who may be interested in your products and services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>#4: Use Pinterest to Invite Others to Pin on Your Boards<\/h3>\n<p><span>(some of my boards <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/361\/2013\/05\/orgi_20130101_7b27b3474fe4cae04020f3f7bec1c052_gif.gif\" alt=\":)\" class=\"postContentImage\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your company\u2019s Pinterest boards don\u2019t have to be limited to just company pins.\u00a0<strong>Collaborate with other users to give your account a more personal feel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To\u00a0<strong>invite other Pinterest users to pin\u00a0to a specific board<\/strong>, go to the board and click Edit. Next to \u201cWho can pin?\u201d type the users\u2019 names or their email addresses (Note: in order to invite someone, you must be following at least one of that user\u2019s boards.) Click <strong>Save Changes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once the invited users accept your invitation, they\u2019ll be able to pin to the shared board. However, you can always remove the user and remove their pins. Moreover, invited users cannot change a board\u2019s title or description.<\/p>\n<p>Pinterest is just as much a community as any other social network. So remember to\u00a0<strong>make<\/strong><strong> the time to interact with other users<\/strong>\u00a0by commenting on and rejoining their pins. While you\u2019re at it,\u00a0<strong>follow users\u2019 boards that fit your company\u2019s industry<\/strong>\u00a0so you have a fresh stream of related content every time you login.<\/p>\n<h3>#5: Don\u2019t Forget to Engage on Foursquare<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Use\u00a0Foursquare\u00a0to leave tips<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I personally haven\u2019t begun using \u00a0it yet but I plan on adding it to the social media arsenal at some point. \u00a0It\u2019s kind of cool!<\/p>\n<p>When a Foursquare user visits a location page, they\u2019ll also see tips from other users.<\/p>\n<p>If your company has a location (or multiple locations) on Foursquare,\u00a0<strong>leave tips at your own locations to show users the personable side of your company<\/strong>. These can be simple, or perhaps even offer an inside joke.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving tips at other businesses in your area provides a way to\u00a0<strong>offer your authority on your industry<\/strong>. Best of all, Foursquare users get insightful tips and tricks.<\/p>\n<h3>#6: Get Creative With Your Hashtag on Instagram<\/h3>\n<p>Creating a hashtag and encouraging users to submit their photos is a smart way to stand<strong> out and be personable on Instagram<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<span>NBC News<\/span>\u00a0Instagram account\u00a0recently asked users to tag their winter storm photos with the hashtag\u00a0#NBCNewsPics. After the weekend passed, they chose four of their favorite user-submitted photos and featured the photos as a single image. In the description, they gave credit by including each user\u2019s Instagram username.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>So Come On \u2013 Be More Engaging And Try These Tips for More People-to-People Interaction\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>We know it builds trust.<\/h3>\n<p>Best of Luck!<\/p>\n<h2><strong><span>Are you interested in changing your life?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2>You can, you know.<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Click below<\/strong>\u00a0to learn more about Team Take Massive Action!<\/h3>\n<h3>A team that gives\u00a0 community support, guru-training, and jaw dropping bonuses!<\/h3>\n<p>P.S.<\/p>\n<p>Your life is waiting\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 Ways to Become More Engaging: Improve Your Social Media #1.
