how to promote your business through team work in social media

With the hype of information technology, quite a number of people have computers in their homes.

With the Internet and google, it has made it easier for people to get information within he shortest possible time (Dependent on internet speed).

Now with the use of Social Media, it has made communication to friends, family members, business partners and prospects alot easier. Some of the social media websites we have are:-

1. LinkedIn.
2. Myspace.
3. Photobucket.
4. Flickr.
5. Youtube.
6. Tumblr.
7. Spotify.
8. Foursquare.
9. Pinterest.
10. Facebook
11. Twitter.

The beauty about Social Media is that it allows cross-posting. By this, it creates an environment where users can reach the maximum number of people without sacrificing the intimacy of person-to-person communication.

That said, when communicating with our team members via our weekly team mail, we need to know from them which of the social media sites they are conversant with and how they can promote their  business.

The most common Social Media sites people use are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Youtube. But with affiliate site clouded on Facebook, usually a blog would be required to promote products .

Tripleclicks being our online shop and with SFI innovations, it has incorporated and made it easier for us to promote SFI via social media with the use of the Share It button.

Also most of these sites allow you to create a group (Facebook) or page. With creating a page on facebook, we can attract both our prospects and existing customers and discuss via Facebook messenger. Twitter on the otherhand, permits or allows short links to be posted. Such posts should be eye catching to attract your prospects.

Another way of training my team on the use of Social media to promote their business is for me to encourage them to have their personal websites and blogs where they can link up any information or articles they have on their blog or website and use the share it button on Facebook, Twitter etc. The advantage of this is that, you can upload a video with llustrations not only to your team members but to prospects as well. Also with a form for prospects to fill on your site, you can get more sign ups thereby growing your team.

Also, with the use of Social Media sites for both our existing customers and prospects, an avenue for Questions and Answers should be entertained as this indeed can act as an interactive training session.

Hope this information is useful.

All the best in training your team members.
