Social Etiquette~

Etiquette:  conventional requirements as to social behavior; proprieties of conduct as established in any class or community or for any occasion.

Are you following any social media Etiquette?  If you are not getting results ie;  referrals, feedback, interest in your life, you may want to ask yourself these 5 questions.

Are you constantly promoting your business?  We are inundated with information today.  It is a turn off when you promote only yourself.  People pay attention to exciting, uplifting information that is beneficial to them.  People turn off when they are being Sold!

When you post is it brief (a sentence or less)?  Keep your posts brief (less is best) and share in a general way! No one cares when you brushed your teeth! 

Do you post 2-4 times in a row?  Post 1-4 times out the day (purposeful, meaningful posts).  Many people hide or delete chronic posters.

Are your photos G rated?  Photos have become enhanced, so keep photos G rated!  Make your photos count!  Photos should have the WOW factor.

Are you ?  Always posting about problems in your life?  Post fun, positive uplifting thoughts and life events.  Granted, life may throw you a curve from time to time, however Eeyore gets old!

5 Simple questions that may help you and your business thrive!!!!  Have fun!

Social Media has CHANGED my World!

Along the way I have learned several simple things to do....and NOT to do while tweeting and posting on Facebook.

In the beginning I was thrilled to get over 5 likes!  Being the gal who always wanted to be popular-this excited me.  I then became 'purposeful'.  I learned to actually engage in others lives via social media.

What this looks like is having conversations with others.  Learning about people's lives.  Their families, their interests.  Really engaging.  Commenting on thier lives.  HELPING others!  Offering to help promote them and their businesses (or just doing this). 

My favorite law in life:  The Law of Reciprocity!

As I help build others up ....my life gets better! My business grows.  I get to be kind and loving towards others! I get to be a better person.

Today, I get to help others GROW and succeed! I get to be a coach, a mentor, a teacher.  I get to show up for others!  Because of this, I get to be a better human!
