Communicating Via Caring Bridge

There are times when Facebook or other social sites may not be appropriate venues. A good example is when someone has a major health issue. They or a loved one may want to share their health status with friends and family members so they can be aware of what’s going on. Having this option means the sick person can concentrate on getting well rather than on fielding a lot of well-meaning phone calls and emails. Caring Bridge can be a good choice for this kind of communication. Find out more about it at www.caringbridge.org “Caring Bridge is a charitable nonprofit [...]

Use Social Media to Connect People

One of the many benefits of being active on social media is that you can use it to connect people who could benefit from knowing each other. These could be potential referral partners, potential providers or clients, and much more. When you make these kinds of introductions, the people you help will truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. Plus, it helps you stay “top of mind” when they meet people who might need your services.   However, when using a social site (rather than an email or phone call) to make such introductions, you need to know that the people you are [...]

Tailor Your LinkedIn Profile

Your LinkedIn profile is one of the most important showcases available. By tailoring it, you enhance your brand by emphasizing key information. There is a standard template for a LinkedIn profile, but you can move sections around within the template. And for most sections of your profile, you can move around the listings within that section.     Repositioning Sections of Your Profile Click on the icon with the up and down arrow at the top right of a section, and drag that section to wherever you want it to appear in your profile.

Dealing with Notifications on Social Media

Are you getting too many notifications on social media? Many of my clients tell me they’re frustrated by the number of notifications they receive each day. For example, I know someone who made a relative of hers a “close friend” on Facebook. Then she set up her notifications so that every time the relative posted on Facebook, she was notified. Not only that, but she had the notifications arriving as texts on her mobile phone. She’d be in the middle of a business meeting and get distracted by the steady flow of texts indicating that her relative had posted something. [...]

Are You Being Overly Promotional on Social Media?

If more than 20% of your posting on social media is promotional, you could be turning people off. Keep in mind that people go to social media to be informed, entertained, and uplifted. They don’t go there to be “sold” on your services or even to see a lot of “hype” about what is going on with your business. Yet, if you provide value to your social media connections, they will be eager to see your next post, update, tweet, etc. Just the other day, someone tagged me in a Facebook post, noting that she doesn’t usually post her speaking [...]

9 Ways to Use Twitter at Conferences

In last week’s blog post on using social media at conferences, Social Media and Conferences,  I primarily focused on LinkedIn as the place to go prior to, during, and after a conference. Several people who read my post brought up Twitter as their “go-to” social site when they are at a conference. “I find that Twitter is the best place to connect when I meet someone at a conference. It’s easy to use and an easy way to strike up a conversation.” Social Connections, LLC “My conference networking tool is Twitter.
