My Clients and their Social Media Presence

It’s a sunny afternoon here in West Wales and I’m sitting here wondering how I can help some of my clients with their social media presence.

I’m not going to pretend that I am anywhere near an expert on this topic but I do Tweet (personal account so it’s a mix of friends, F1, Joomla! and typical social network moaning @TiggerCub if you dare).

On Facebook, I rarely write on my wall, but I do ‘like’ and I volunteered to be an administrator on the Pwerdy-Powerhouse page which is a local Community and Arts Centre.

I’ve also proved that I’m not a great blogger. How many days since I last updated this site? I’m surprised that WordPress haven’t thrown me off for laziness.

However, in for a penny etc here are some of my comments / suggestions.

• If  you decide to use social media to promote your business you are putting yourself in front of the public.
• Your ideals, your reputation: people will react if you are controversial, people will react if you are interesting.
• Remember, whatever you put on the web it is there forever for good or for bad.
• You will be aiming to have conversations with your past, present and future clients.
• You could give tips regarding your business or general information.
• You may find out more about your clients’ wants and needs as they ask you questions, they may even trust you.
• You may not be comfortable writing so why not try audio or video?
• Finally, for now at least – enjoy communicating with people.
