Get Your Head Round Social Networking with Business Blog Buddy

Welcome to Business Fulcrum’s Business Blog Buddy,

It has become increasingly evident that social networking is a hugely significant part of marketing overall – and that this is a severe trial and tribulation to many businesses! This being the case, I decided to expand my marketing services to include a dedicated self help area and so Business Blog Buddy (or BBB to my friends) was born.

The most common queries are still things like “What is social networking?” “What are social networks? and “How to social media” If this is what you’re wondering, I think you’ll find that BBB is just what you need to get your head round the subject.

Written in straightforward language and simple terms there are plenty of FREE resources to dip into and get you underway:

Easy to understand introductions to the world of social networking
The what, how and why of Facebook, Twitter and Blogging
An extensive glossary of social networking terms
An eBook on the tricky etiquette of social networking when you sign up to the Business Fulcrum newsletter via the orange box top right

If you have come straight to this site and would like to know more about my other marketing services: training, ad hoc/retained advice, copywriting that works or my hugely popular quirky marketing postcards - just pop onto www.businessfulcrum.co.uk. Jane Buswell

P.S.: Understand the concept but need help for your own activities? For inspiration, ideas and information in terms of maximising your effectiveness please see BBB’s range of eBooks

What is Social Networking?

An online way of connecting and communicating with existing/potential clients. Used well, these sites can also raise awareness of your brand and assist in gaining and giving business expertise.

What is Twitter?

A free social messaging facility allowing you to find and follow people from all walks of life. Populated with distilled streams of consciousness and pithy comments. You are limited to 140 characters per “tweet”.

What is LinkedIn?

Effectively an online old boys’ network, this allows you to connect and communicate with your contacts and THEIR contacts. Also a platform for recommendations. Great for credibility (look who I know!) and keeping in touch.

What is Facebook?

Originally designed to share “life” with selected social contacts via eg comments and photos; this website now has business pages for promotion, talking to your target audience and flagging events.

If you’d like ongoing hints, tips and allied quirky stuff on the subject of marketing you may want to follow my weekly blog. The title of the blog ”Cooee – look at me!” comes from understanding your need to attract the attention of potential clients.

What is Blogging?

This is sharing news from your own perspective via an online facility which replaces/is complementary to your website. Each entry is called a “post” and your aim is to raise your profile by encouraging followers.
