It just depends on what objections they toss on the table, which analogy or response I offer. Back when I started social media consulting, there was a lot more educating of the public necessary. I'm happy to say that this is not as prevalent, as the majority of business owners are at least peripherally aware of the power of Facebook and Twitter. Thank you for the comment! :)<br /><br />- DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486672861828924689.post-90216842533161067912012-06-28T18:11:40.001+01:002012-06-28T18:11:40.001+01:00Dawn, I understand the hesitation business owners ...Dawn, I understand the hesitation business owners have with 'paying' a social media manager. But really, they are willing to pay a CPA, etc. for their specialty. These are also points that can be brought out if they are not easily convinced. Social media does require knowing more than just FB and Twitter. And as you said, people involved with the business may not give it 100% as a specialist would.

There are end...Hi Lucy, thank you for the question! There are endless new social media platforms cropping up almost every week, and yes, it can be overwhelming to attempt to keep up with each one that is "born". <br /><br />What I find works best is to thoroughly interview each new client. I ask about their preferred demographic, their immediate, short-term and long-term goals for marketing and growth and I take endless written notes during the interview. I then ask them what social media platforms they have received the most "bang for their buck" thus far, what platforms they prefer to work and post with, and most importantly, I ask if there's a part of the market they feel they're not reaching. Then I can tailor the social media approach to fill in those areas that might be lagging.<br /><br />The most helpful thing I can offer in this long-winded reply is that each client ends up presenting unique challenges that I adapt my social media management skills to. I have package deals that I offer, but I almost always end up customizing to an extent.<br /><br />The Big Four social media platforms that most clients want incorporated into their social media management agreement are: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google +. I add/subtract according to each clients' needs and requests. <br /><br />I hope this helps! <br /><br />- DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486672861828924689.post-80834273023853309612012-06-27T14:37:03.953+01:002012-06-27T14:37:03.953+01:00Always useful to see how other professionals handl...Always useful to see how other professionals handle such questins, thanks Dawn.<br />My question for you would be how do you kee up with all the new SM platforms that appear and then distinguish which you need to know more about (as you think they will stay) or which you feel you can get away with minimal knowledge about (as you don't think they will be around for long)?<br /><br />http://lifethrulucylasticaslense.blogspot.co.uk/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
