It’s Day 30 of 30 Days of Social Media. We’ve covered a lot of ground over the last month and yet it feels like it would be easy to go for another 30 days of tips and strategies on how to put social media to work for your business. Today, however, let’s take a look at how we can start to implement some strategy into your social media activity.
Your 30 Day Social Media Plan Execution and implementation is the key to being successful with any new body of knowledge. No point knowing new stuff and then not doing anything with it. (As a serial student of business I am guilty of learning, learning and more learning. The magic seems to happen when I actually use and share what I have learned.) I believe that if we focus on ONE area for a whole month, we’ll do better than splitting our energies across the myriad of areas. (Ok, you can sneak two or three areas of focus into your plan, but I suggest you consider putting together a 30 day plan for one area to start.)
Over the last 30 days we’ve looked at:
- Wikis
- Twitter strategies
- Facebook Pages
- Online Networking
- RSS (Real Simple Syndication)
- Promoting events through social media
- Generating Leads
- Podcasting
- Using Video and YouTube
- Managing Your Online brand
- and a whole lot more…
So, what ONE area would you like to focus further on for the next month?
YOUR 30 DAY SOCIAL MEDIA PLAN FOR [INSERT YOUR FOCUS AREA HERE
Here are three steps to take to create a one-page plan for this area: Step 1: Choose an area of Social Media to focus on for the next month. Step 2: Set your goals and objectives for this area. (Hint: Stay big picture and set some measurable goals that we can look back at in 30 days and celebrate the achievement of.) Step 3: Determine what three actions can you take
- tomorrow
- next week
- over 30 days
to get closer to the achievement of your goals for this area of social media.
