Today my business Real-Time OutSource turns 3 years old!!

That’s 1,095 days without a day off….but I love what i do!! I’ve put my blood, sweat, and tears into this company and I believe it’s just the beginning of the social networking revolution. “Likes UP” for hard work :)

Is content king??  

Blogs, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and other online platforms are giving organizations like yours an enormous opportunity to engage directly with your customers. That’s a lucky thing: because instead of creating awareness about your company or your brand solely the old-school way (through annoying people with advertising, or bugging them with direct mail, or interrupting them with whatever), you now have an unprecedented and enormous opportunity.  (Content Rules)

Before you start producing content for your brand…ask yourself the following

Do you have the team to brainstorm, script, shoot, edit and produce the content for your clients?  Do you plan on hiring staff?

The Do's and Don'ts for Marketing With Pinterest

Pinterest, which launched in 2010, has grown to more than 10 million users. Every day, people use the website to “pin” images and videos to their personal pin boards so they can save and share the things they love. The site gets social when people follow each other and repin or comment on each other’s pin

Like our FB page? Give it a thumbs up! 

So this morning I’m looking thought my emails and I see this email titled “Like our FB Page?  Give it a thumbs up!  The sender was Bed Bath and Beyond which I have accepted to receive email blasts from because I do like they’re awesome home products. 

I honestly was going to not do anything with it, when I thought to myself, what a great example of a brand pushing their social, and so I clicked the email.

  It was done very tastefully with some flash elements, and honestly it converted me to like and follow them.    Point of the story..never stop pushing your social networking :)

Simple steps to setting up your Facebook Offer ;)

Now, you can get discounts from businesses when they post an offer on their Facebook Page. To claim an offer, all you need to do is click Get Offer from the story anywhere you see it on Facebook. 

You’ll start to see offers by Pages you like in your news feed. After you click Get Offer, Facebook will send you an email that you can print off or show on your mobile phone at the business to redeem your discount.

Without a good plan your social media will find loopholes, and will enviably fall apart.   So take your time and do the proper research, planning, writing, editing, and designing. 

Then you have to find the team that you think can implement.   We also suggest that you utilize an outside social media expert to help give you an fresh perspective to your efforts.   If you’re in a hurry to get on social networks without planning we would suggest waiting until your ready, a great plan will save many headaches and will reap many rewards

Do you think you can write a killer plan? Make sure you also answer the 4 W’s..
