How To Use Social Marketing To Grow Your Small Business

Are you a social marketing savvy small business owner or manager?

Today, social marketing is sure to play a role in growing your small business. Matter of fact, as each day goes by, social marketing is becoming more and more imperative for your average, main-street, small business.

Grow your business with these social marketing tips from Jeff Korhan

We interviewed social marketing expert Jeff Korhan, author the new book Built.In Social, to ask him how small business owners and executive should be using social media and digital marketing to grow their organizations.

Social Marketing Interview

We discussed:

  • Social media for mainstream, non-technical, small businesses.
  • Content marketing and social marketing tips and insights.
  • Techniques and strategies to create awareness, build relationships, and convert strangers to customers.
  • Relationship selling, creating comfort, being relatable, and establishing know, like, and trust.
  • Reasons to blog, including creating content because search drives the web and content drives search.
  • The power of providing value, of giving gifts and being a giver versus a taker online.
  • We discussed Facebook, LinkedIn and other sites that work for small business.
  • Finally, we discussed what people are really looking for online, which is solutions to their problems. Solve people’s problems and you will attract customers like a magnet.
