If you feel left out, you are not alone. Clearly, Social Media is the most important emerging media out there simply because of the groundswell of use. Where there are a lot of people, specifically a lot of people organized by a technology, there is a tremendous opportunity to convert that mass into business. So, if you are poking along making promotional offers on Facebook and Twitter or networking on LinkedIn and you are wondering why you aren’t getting anywhere with that approach... you are not alone.

Your primary goal with social networking is networking... making new purposeful relationships with people that can lead to new opportunities for income. In order to do this, you actually have to make contact and get involved. However, nearly all the social media strategies we see out there start and finish with content. Content is a post of some sort and it is the slow way to grow a network. 

People who see your content are already connected to you. In social network marketing, you want new relationships. There are some strategies where you can sponsor and broadcast your posts on Facebook and they are good but you are still only advertising when you do that. In order to network... really network... you have to “work the room,” so to speak. Online, working the room means participating in conversations where people are already expressing interest.

Without technology, this would be a full-time job just doing the research. However, with Dog Star Media’s new Social Media Manager, our technology finds those conversations for you. Using keywords, we locate conversations in blogs, comments on news stories, forums, public social mediums and other venues where people talk among themselves.  Then, we enter you into those conversations. This novel approach bypasses all the noise and clutter of social media and gets down to the meat of what you want out of the social media experience: new contacts who are already interested.

Our Social Media Manager also makes automated posts to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ so you can save some time there. It’s a good way to maintain a social media account but its strictly an extra compared to the power of the the seek-and-find keyword feature that puts you in direct contact with potential new relationships.

The best part is that our Social Media Manager program is affordable like our other Essential programs.  If you would like to get serious about marketing via social media, why not try out Social Media program for a few months to see how it work?  Please contact me at donald@dogstarmedia.com and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have on how it works.
