Make sure you have the right social media team

The first step: Involve the right people for your social strategy. You need to establish a foundation with the right culture for an authentic engagement with your audience.

You discover your customers interests by listen to them

The second step: Put your ear to the ground. Listening also gives you influence and makes it possible to win hearts online. You can’t guide anyone with your “content” if you don’t understand their “desires” first.

Wake up and realize that the rules of business are changing

The third step: What’s the goal with your presence in social media. You should integrate social media into traditional sales and marketing. It’s not about to do one or the other, period.

Understand the relationship with the social thermometer

The fourth step: Who are you trying to influence with social media. Depending on your goal you can use the relationship thermometer to understand what kind of relationship you have with your audience and or what they know about your brand today.

How do your audience using social media

The fifth step: Understand what your audience is doing online. You have to put yourself into the seat of your audience and give them the right social media assignment, and start the engagement from that point.

Social media is about people not logos

The sixth step: Turbocharge your social strategy with passion. Start storytelling from your heart and breath your cause and unload your message in a more humanize way.

Build your home base

The seventh step: Build a home base and choose your social outposts.The question to ask your social media team when you are choosing outposts: How many of our potential customers are hanging out on a specific social network or forum?

Understand your metrics

The eight step: How to measure the impact of your social media strategy. There is no one size fits all solution to measure the ROI of your social media presence, you need to set up your own metrics. I hope those steps will give you some great insights how you can get a good start with your social media presence.
