INTRODUCTION

Hi Im Emma from Social Media Mentor Training. Over the last 20 years everything has changed. We used to call someone on the landline often from a recommendation.

Failing that, we looked up a phone book and took a punt, maybe got a quote.

Now, we are totally mobile. We search online, we find business in a totally different way. The biggest question small business faces today is how to put their business effectively on line so that they have built credibility but ALSO sales AND customers.

So many business owners find this change has made business much harder. They ask me HOW do we find customers who LOVE us, come back every day and tell their friends, who tell their friends so that we have more and more people interested in what we offer?

90% of surveys on the best converting sales leads show that word of mouth is still the most powerful source of business, even now. For example, if your accountant or business mentor tells you that you NEED this service, the likelihood that you will listen and often buy goes up by 50%! Now wouldnt you love that recommendation?

At Social Media Mentor Training www.facebook.com/socialmediamentortraining we have some tips on how to start becoming one of those RECOMMENDED businesses, one that your friends love to talk about and who will let their friends know about when youve got something special to offer.

We show you how to maximise your online presence so that you can start building YOUR fans. We are giving away the marketing secrets used by the BIGGEST BRANDS to you in this easy to read e-book.

HERE ARE our 10 Hot tips for Social Media Success Exclusively for YOU!

1 HAVE A FACEBOOK OR LINKEDIN PAGE

Unlike an entry on a phone directory or online directory, Facebook and LinkedIn are INTERACTIVE, they are live and real time .

This gives you lots of benefits.

• People can find you
  
• They can share your information
  
• They can ask questions
  
• They can request the products THEY LOVE
  
• You can tell them when something is happening INSTANTLY

This is the PERFECT way for people to gain trust in you.

Its an open platform for people to love and advocate your brand, and its a perfect tool for customer service. Youll get live comments, live feedback and live reviews.

If theres an issue, you can resolve it immediately through interaction either publically or privately online anytime and anywhere.

2 UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF GIVING

You sell amazing canvas tote bags. They are different from all the others because you take special care with the quality of the canvas and they last a lot longer. More than that, you have beautiful unique local designs on them, you produce them locally and you use eco-friendly methods.

So create a SMALLER product to give away which promotes your brand a cute MUG with an inspirational saying and one of your unique designs, when the customer spends a certain amount.

Some great gifts are an e-book , a discount for three people or more, a free $5 gift voucher for signing up to your mailing list, or birthday register.

A small gift creates trust, gives your client your web address in a physical form and helps them to FEEL THE LOVE.

It can also be FREE ADVERTISING for you! Just make sure your logo, your product or your voucher has your URL on it.

3 - WRITE GREAT CONTENT

Your fans want to hear something new, something they havent seen before and something that you do WELL.

Lets say you create BEAUTIFUL jewellery.

• Let them know exactly what tools you use to create with.
• Do a step-by-step video on a simple piece to show how you make your goods.
  
• Give a hot tip on how to keep your pieces clean and sparkling with common household products.

You have ENGAGED your followers. Youve given them something to LOOK at and something to THINK about.

This is GREAT content. Other ideas are a funny saying, an inspirational quote, a last minute bargain. Something that provides value TODAY will encourage your fans to SHARE and BUY.

4 TELL A GREAT STORY

Learn how to tell a great story about your brand every day. You have a history! You started your business for a reason! Youve been running your business for some time so give us some INSIGHT into the good times and the bad times. Let us know that you won a contract, show us pictures of a before and after, give us todays special offer.

If you Google Emma Sidney, youll see Ive worked around the world and sold my albums online and through record labels since 2001. Youll find my music here: www.emmasidney.bandcamp.com.

A while back I realised that I got more pleasure out of creating music than I do from performing. But when I spoke to friends about their business, I realised that I knew A LOT about getting priority on the internet after all, Ive been doing this since 1995 when I developed my very first website. Wow those uploads took a LONG time!

What I learned is that the more we know about you and your brand, the more we can interact and LOVE you. Your customers get the power to let you know how to do something NEW that makes us LOVE you MORE! As long as you are ONLINE.
