This is where I can help you. Social media holds enormous potential for companies to grow their businesses, but only if these amazing tools are used with the customers' best interests in mind. My writings, presentations, and consulting projects always focus on how your social media efforts can help you better listen to, communicate with, and understand your customers. Because when this happens, your marketing becomes much more effective and efficient (Read: cheaper). So everyone wins.
Here's the services I offer that can help you improve your blogging and social media efforts:
1 - Blog consulting. Whether you need help launching a new blog, or improving an existing one, I can help. I offer complete coaching in this area, showing you how to monitor the existing conversations happening about your business in the blogosphere. I will then work with you to tailor every aspect of your content so that it provides your readers with the information and value they are looking for. I will also show you how to grow your readership by engaging readers on OTHER blogs, including their own, and even on other sites, such as Twitter. You can find more information about my services along with prices here. Feel free to email me if you need more information.
2 - Social Media consulting. Here I'll help you determine what (if any) social media sites/tools will work best for helping you achieve your larger business goals. I can help your company develop a presence on social networks such as Facebook and MySpace, or show you how to use microblogging sites such as Twitter and Plurk to better communicate with and engage your customers. If you are already active on these sites and looking for advice on improving your existing efforts, I'll help you get your efforts on the right track. Or if you aren't using social media currently but are curious about the possibilities, I can create a comprehensive social media strategy that will help your business achieve its goals. It could be that you can best reach your customers by participating on Facebook and blogs. Or maybe they prefer to use Twitter and MySpace? We'll assess your business and create a social media plan of action to help you better connect with and communicate with your customers.
3 - Blogging/Social Media Training. With this service, I offer extensive hands-on coaching with your company on social media tools. I can teach on individual tools such as blogs, social networks and microblogs, or several tools. Half and full-day workshops are available, as well as multiple-day seminars. Whether you want to launch a company blog, or discover how to create a presence on Twitter, in these sessions, I'll arm you with the knowledge and understanding necessary to 'hit the ground running' and begin using these tools immediately to help you grow your business.
