Are You Putting Your Social Networking to Good Use?

The art of social networking is a web you must master.
It is an art that many succeed in and many fail.
Many people can teach you the art of social networking but have they showed you the skill of putting it to good use? You must be wondering what I mean by this? You have already started networking and people are followers, fans and friends.
Your job is done and you no longer need to do anything more on the social networking scene.
Fact is you are wrong.
You have mastered it, but have you applied it.
What I mean by this is have you gotten leads? Have you followed up with these friends, fans, and followers? Do not become a spammer but truly look out for those that may need a Virtual Assistant, a Business Coach, a Consultant, and a Ghost Writer.
You would be surprised what people say in their updates.
If you are not looking you may miss out on creating an opportunity.
I once heard if there are no opportunities find a way to create one.
It is great that you have learned from others and they have learned from you but it is a waste of your time if you have not implemented a course of action? This course of action should be creative ways in this scene to generate leads, and turn them into clients.
Again I want to reiterate that you do not become a spammer.
You need to test out what works for you.
You become the expert, so much so that everyone wants to come to you and not your competitor.
Each field is different.
A Ghost Writer may be able to generate leads by posting bits and pieces of his or her work, testimonials from his or her clients, or even providing free tid bits.
A Virtual Assistant can generate leads by offering a contest that in the end one lucky person will win free Virtual Assistant hours.
Not everything works for the same person.
Your goal is to test the waters.
The best part of social networking is you can always delete.
There is no right or wrong.
Of course you want to always be professional and ensure that you are representing yourself in the best light.
So as of today decide to automate or find someone that can assist you in automating your social networks so you can spend time on creating your plan.
Begin a system that will generate leads and later clients for your company and or services.
This is a fun journey that will help you become a better business person.
It is one that will bring you one step closer to becoming the expert in your industry.
Make yourself the only option that way they never have to look to your competitor.
