Think Small ~ Be Small

The truth is, many of us are failing at social media and we either do not know how to correct the issue(s) or do not make the time to fix the problems. Perhaps the best indicator is whether or not we are actively generating new business from our SM presence. It really is that simple.Social Media Tips: Think Small Be Small

My hubby used to use an annoying phrase when I was complaining about SM, digging my heals in, or just being stubborn about using or trying some form of social media. He would often say "Think Small Be Small". On the rare occasion I hear it now, it no longer annoys me, instead it motivates me to push through whatever the roadblock is. 

If you find yourself thinking small, maybe it is time to step up your activities and find a way to push through your own social media wall(s). Start Small Think Big I say!

If you are ready to move ahead, perhaps there are some nuggets you will find useful in the articles below. If you decide to implement one or more of the tips, please come back and share about your social media experience. 

Enjoy Rainers!

I like the attitude to think Big. I'm still SM challenge but making headway.

I've just spent the past 2 days poring over the information in your links.  So much yet to learn!  What program do you use to automate your SM postings?

Thanks Roy, trying to do just that. I hope you and Dolores do the same.

Glad you enjoy them, Scott. ;-)

LOL. Leave it to you Richie!

Kate: That group houses a lot of us.

Frank: One step at a time is all it takes.

Margaret: I do not automate any of my SM postings. There are a bunch of programs that will do that but I prefer to do it manually because I sometimes share a bit more/less in the intro with different platforms.

Anita -you are right.  Think small be small.  Know you target audience that test the right social media. Right now I am in New Orleans working with a great restaurant company who engaged with me on Linked In.

Hello Anita, I don't make much time in my day or week for Social Media. Perhaps that's something I should consider changing. Right now I'm more focused on getting re-engaged on AR because I know that will bring business.
