Density Socially

GET FOUND (SOCIALLY)
DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT
WHERE I WOULD START:Make Resources Easily Accessible: -Facebook (if you can pay; personal v prof.) -YouTube -Slideshare
If you have those down: -Pinterest -Twitter -Google+ -Instagram, etc.
Consistency is key!
CREATE YOUR TARGETS-Who is your customer?
-Where do they hangout? -What do they talk about? -What do they need to know about what you do?
ENGAGEMENT = VISIBILITY = LEADS
SEE WHO YOUR CURRENT TARGET IS ON FB
CREATE YOUR BENCHMARKS-What are your current conversion rates?
USE FACES
