Is social media marketing a daunting task to your business? Social media marketing is a great tool, if you know how to do it correctly.  A lot of business coaches recommend that small businesses delve into social media marketing. So the business owner sets up the Facebook fan page, a Twitter account, a LinkedIn account.  So now what? The business coach recommends that you send status updates at least once-a-day. They recommend that you should send tweets at least several times a day.

Now, what are you going to send status updates about? What are you going to tweet about? It is recommended that you don’t always send status updates and tweets about specials of your business. It is recommended that you should send status updates and tweets regarding what you are doing in your community, or what special events you are attending in your community. Do you sponsor a little league team? A little league hockey team? A soccer team? These are perfect topics to send status updates about or to tweet about. Let everyone know on your fan page what those events are and how they can help sponsor the same team.

Has there been a new restaurant that just opened up in your community? Well, visit the new restaurant and then give a status update of how your visit was, the food, the service. Let your fans know if you enjoyed the restaurant or not.

If you have children you can also send status updates and tweets about what your children are doing in school.  Mix these status updates and tweets in with some tweets about new things that is going on with your business.  This is a great way for people to get to know you, have a relationship with you, build trust with you and your business. The best way to get business is from people who know, like and trust you those are the people will do business with you.

Now, how are you going to get all of this done? Well, there are virtual assistants in the work force like myself who will schedule tweets and status updates for you. A virtual assistant can also submit your articles to different article submission sites. This way you can do your work while your status updates and tweets get posted.  Don’t be leary about outsourcing these tasks to a virtual assistant, we are just like an administrative assistant, but just do it virtually from our fully functional office.
