Hello Stompers!
Welcome to “This Week In StomperNet”.
This week, our focus is “Social Media Strategy”. Almost every single person I know has some kind of social media presence, even if it’s just a facebook profile.
- Here’s one indicator of how many people actually visit facebook, youtube, and google.
- Here’s another indicator of how many people search for those same social media sites.
(Especially notice how much traffic and attention facebook is getting in comparison to google.) No matter how you slice it, a TON of traffic goes to social media sites every single day. Lots of people dabble in social media marketing. Very few have an actual social media STRATEGY that makes sense in their niche, and is tied to the bigger picture of their entire business growth plan. The time for ignoring social media is long past. This week let’s take a look at developing the social media strategy that’s right for YOUR business.
