Start Slowly With Social Media

I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen people just starting out with social media try and be everywhere at once. Businesses especially need to understand that being on more networks is not necessarily better.

If you’re trying to get your brand some social media exposure for the first time take it slow. Establish a presence on Facebook and Twitter to start with, or maybe Twitter and LinkedIn. You can decide which networks are going to be best for your brand, but the important thing is not to get carried away.

There are too many people who never met a social network they didn’t like — don’t be one of them.

Focusing good quality attention on one or two networks can usually yield better results than spending 3 or 4 minutes on 5 or 6 networks.

Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong focusing on the mighty 3 — Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. However, you may find that you get better results using something else.

Whatever networks you decide to use you should focus on those and don’t allow yourself to be distracted by the new flavor of the week.
