Have You Synchronized Your Social Media?
By
So you have a blog. . . now what? Now it is time to synchronize your social media and develop a more in-depth plan. Here are a few quick ways to evaluate your current program.
Does your blog have a plan to survive the next “dry” spell?
- Blog is strategically focused on a topic or specialty
- Team of writers in place and ready to blog
- Editorial plan of 8 blog posts a month
- Backup content is available for when something falls through
- Posts contain a mixture of copy, photos, video and podcasts
- Posts are easy to read about 300 words long and often contain bullets
Is your team “synchronized” in their approach?
- Both marketing and sales people are engaged in content production
- Blog leverages other social networks to maximize referral traffic
- Staff is trained on how to promote the blog and social media sites
- Online social media policy spells out rules of engagement
Does your blog cause visitors to “take flight” or sign up?
- Email marketing drives traffic to blog
- Email can be shared through social sharing
- Contests are hosted on the blog to attract visitors and gather names
- A series of custom landing pages welcome visitors from social media sites
- Strong call to action encourages visitors to sign up for email list
Never fear, if your blog doesn’t meet all of these goals, I can help. I’ve been blogging since 2006 and have lots of ideas for your program. Blogging is fun.
