I selected this article from Curatti written by Mike Allton because it explains how to build the right followers and increase your business sales through social media.

 

It's important to build a great community on social media in order to attract more leads and sales.

 

Build Your Business Through Social Media

 

You are the fisherman in a sea of a targeted community. I agree that we can learn a lot from this analogy in order to be successful in our marketing.

 

Allton explains how to leverage your social networks for the best results in your business.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • It's important to know which social networks are best suited for your niche. Take the time to consider each in order to prioritize where to be most active.

 

  • Find out how to best reach your community for each channel. This includes groups, chats, video, ect. Then determine the best times and days for these activities.

 

  • Develop content that caters to and helps your audience. Include special offers and incentives that link directly back to your website.

Talent usually separates itself from the crowd.  Social Media is no different.  When you have become informative and dependable, people will begin to rely on your judgement.

Darius Douglass, you are so right - all you have to do is look at someone's digital footprint, it's all there for you to see beyond the facade - if someone is truly demonstrating not talking about social media, that's all you have to know
Michelle Gilstrap's comment, April 17, 2014 1:59 PM
Jan, I agree with you I do try to comment on my social media sights with my followers when I have the time. That is the key, reading the content and finding the time to communicate. It is a hard balance.

Add this to advances in context and authorship and the fun has already started. 

Bart van Maanen's curator insight, August 3, 2013 8:48 AM

Zoekmachines - en Google - voorop gaan de context van zoektermen steeds beter begrijpen, zodat gebruikers betere en op hun situatie (plek, voorkeuren) toegespitste resultaten krijgen. Omdat het daarbij om de zogeheten 'big data' draait, is onder meer het gebruik van Google+ belangrijk voor Google. 

 

Kort gezegd gaat het betekenen dat zoekwoord 'pizza' niet leidt naar allerhande recepten websites, maar naar de Italiaan om de hoek.

Quality Beats Quantity for #SocialMedia

Quality Beats Quantity for #SocialMedia | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
"How important is the follower count on your social media?". Hint: quality beats quantity, but there's more to it than that!

I selected this article from Curatti written by Jenn Herman because it provides a close look at the types of social media followers your business needs to have.

 

It's important to have a community that is invested in your brand.

 

The Importance of Quality Social Media Followers

 

While you can grow a large audience quickly this may not necessarily be a benefit to your influence online. I agree that is it better to focus on the quality of the follower and not the big numbers.

 

Herman explains how to attract authentic followers who are interested in what your business has to offer.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • The number of followers still matters if you want your content to be shared. They key is to have a targeted audience who will spread the word.

 

  • Instead of focusing on higher numbers produce quality content instead. Along with this provide great social customer service.

 

  • Set realistic goals on your social platform growth. For example, a ten percent increase each month. This is subject to fluctuations and changes as you monitor your accounts.

Do You Know Why Old Content is the King of Content Marketing?

Do You Know Why Old Content is the King of Content Marketing? | Business Improvement and Social media | Scoop.it
You don't need more content. You need old content. I know, that's not what you usually hear, so stick with me and we will look at some numbers to see why it is so important.

Albert Green's comment, September 11, 2013 9:43 AM
Although the idea is very interesting, I don't see any valid arguments that OLD content is the key to high rankings. You even can't say there's a correlation here because 14/30 pages are less then 1 year old and 16/30 are more than 1 year old.
The method for determining OLD website is also faulty since the age of domain is not the same as the age of the content itself. So if the page has been updated within this year, it should be labeled as new. To my mind, 90% of the TOP10 search results pages have been updated during last year, so this would mean that NEW content is the key to high rankings.
And since this is just a hypothesis, I must present an actual trend that has been spotted by SEO specialists recently. After latest Google Search engine updates, fresh content easily wins over old content with a lot of backlinks. If OLD content was the king, there would be NO fresh content (up to 1 month old) on first page at all.
Karen Tracey McCarty's curator insight, January 30, 2014 12:07 PM

Some things we know are better with age, like wine and wisdom, but content? Seriously? Read on to see stats showing why your old content can be a power horse for generating increased site traffic and search results.
