Facebook Tagging for Business

September 29, 2009 By Sherra Leave a Comment

Social Media Explorer recently wrote an excellent article about the new Facebook tagging feature and using it for business. Here’s a quick excerpt:

“For a business, this can allow you to stay more top of mind with your friends or fans. When you tag someone, they receive a notification you’ve done so and, thus, come see what you tagged them in. This is potentially very powerful for businesses. As the administrator of a fan page, when you tag someone in a wall post or note, it appears to them as if the business or organization tagged them, not the individual logged in to administer the account.”

Here’s a link to the original article. What are your thoughts?

I Was in Napa Valley getting drunk over the weekend?! Really?!

September 9, 2009 By Sherra 8 Comments

I just had a conversation with a client who said she was happy to see that I was back from Napa Valley safely. I was confused and told her I hadn’t gone to Napa Valley. She said she thought she read on her Facebook page that I’d gone to Napa Valley and drank too much this weekend…and she was wondering why I went to Napa Valley for the weekend when I live in South Carolina!

Just goes to show that your clients, potential clients and colleagues ARE watching – but sometimes they are watching someone else! What if that client was totally put-off by the thought that I really was out boozing it up in Napa? What if that ONE message (that I didn’t even post) made them decide to cut me loose as their assistant because of what they THOUGHT I was doing because she was “skimming” her social network updates?

I’m glad she and I were able to have a laugh about this one, but it could have turned out differently. Scary.

Have you ever had something like that happen to you?

Tweeting “For” a Client

July 8, 2009 By Sherra Leave a Comment

I ran across this video on the VAclassroom blog today, and I thought it addresses tweeting for clients very well. It also doesn’t hurt that I also agree with the philosophy and guidelines he discusses in the video!

Don’t spread yourself too thin

March 13, 2009 By Sherra Leave a Comment

Focus your social networking on a handful of strategically chosen networks – and stay active in them. Don’t spread yourself too thin. A few selectively chosen networks will be more beneficial than dozens of networks you rarely, if ever, participate in.

Use a service to simplify updates

Use a service such as Ping.fm to update multiple social networks at the same time.  Using tools to streamline your updates saves time and ensures consistency of information across your social media platforms.
