Have you heard of the Facebook “Likes” panic syndrome ?

Stressed businesswoman pulling her hair and yelling
Facebook is still the number 1 social network, and right now there is a panic that we can feel in the entrepreneur’s world and their Facebook fan pages.

The questions I hear often are: “How can I increase the number of “likes” on my fan page?” or “My competitors have a lot more “likes” than I, why?”

I confess that I would prefer to receive questions as: “How can I make sure that people who follow me on my networks, will also subscribe to my newsletter?” Or “How to increase my sales through social networks?”

Get rid of the competition spirit

The first thing to do is to remove the competitive spirit because everyone is unique and has something that will attract a specific clientele.

As for Facebook fan pages, there are topics which some pages will attract a lot more attention than others and this is normal. The goal will always be to inform people who follow you about your field from the start and  this is the reason why they are following you.

Now, I will help you remove the stress of competition. Continue reading →

Imagine the potential of visibility when someone like Tony Robbins share one of your pins on his board where he already has more than 5000 people following him only on Pinterest!

So regardless of the social network, the most important will always be to make sure your target customers find you quickly and easily. Continue reading →

The egg or chicken

While we are still asking ourselves who came first, the egg or the chicken, lots of entrepreneurs are wondering if they have to build their social networks account or website first.

I regularly get the question about if it is better the website to be online before creating our social networks’ profiles. My answer is always: No and to wait would delay your business propulsion.

For sure, to have a website is a must, even more, a blog and a newsletter being essential.  When your website gets on Google, in general, it won’t be the first month that it will appear on the first page, and in some cases, it will take months. Statistics say that the majority of people look up to the first 8 results on Google when they do a specific search.

And this is why Social Media is so important Continue reading →

How to get more readers for your articles

Posted on by

On top of having a website, it is important to have also a blog section. An extraordinary way for people to discover your articles is posting them on Social Media since millions of people are active every day. 

With your WordPress blog, you can add a social share plugin that will allow people when they read your articles, to share them on their own social networks with their audience.  Imagine the huge potential and visibility increase! This way you will always have the possibility to get more readers for your articles.

People who have one extension like this installed will see their articles propagating faster that those who do not have it. The reality is that we are living in a fast pace world where we can find tons of information.   I regularly explain to my clients the importance of keeping their social networks posts short, also to write articles with an average 400 words because if it is too long to read, people won’t take the time.  Yes people will leave comments under your articles but a lot more will want to just click on one social media icon and share them. It is faster for them and so fantastic for you!

There is lot of social share plugins available, here are two that I like a lot:  Continue reading →
