1.     Increasing sales with Social Media

*** Are You Wasting Your Time On Facebook? ***

Prior to writing this article, I spent a solid week keeping up with my Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn accounts.   And the question I asked myself was; “Am I Wasting My Time On Social Networking?”

Can we make more contacts, reach more people and increase sales with social media?

In my opinion the answer is Yes & No.

First I would define what the product or opportunity is that I am selling or promoting.

Secondly I would ask myself how much time am I willing to devote to increasing my presence, responding to emails and chats, posting articles and the like.

Thirdly, and this is the big one that I recently learned; How disciplined am I to using this for business only.  Especially when a lost relative, high school buddy, or past contact, looks you up.  After all are they not potential prospects?

For me, social media is not increasing sales directly, but increasing access to customers, vendors, etc.

For smaller companies and individuals, social media creates a lot of connections and leads.

But, for larger, product based companies, I do not believe that it works as well.

I know several salespeople that use Facebook, LinkedIn, and blogging to create sales opportunities. I am still not able to receive a straight percentage answer on how well it is working for them.

The other day someone shared the following 10 commandments of Blogging with me, and I thought that you might enjoy these…..

1. You shall not put your blog before your integrity.

2. You shall not make an idol of your blog.

3. You shall not misuse your screen name by using your anonymity to sin.

4. Remember the Sabbath day by taking one day off a week from your blog.

5. Honour your fellow-bloggers above yourselves and do not give undue significance to their mistakes.

6. You shall not murder someone else’s honour, reputation or feelings.

7. You shall not use the web to commit or permit adultery in your mind.

8. You shall not steal another person’s content.

9. You shall not give false testimony against your fellow-blogger.

10. You shall not covet your neighbour’s blog ranking. Be content with your own content.

I hope you thought that this was as cute as I did.
