Social Media Tips from Sandra Gebhardt PART 1

Social media can feel like an overwhelming tool, usually because we don’t know how to use it. The very first thing we need to do is to realize that social media is a tool. We often think of it as our escape from reality, our own distraction. Start looking at social media (Facebook, mainly) as a free advertising tool. You will find that you can start using it efficiently. We want to say out loud, “Facebook is for making money.” Once we get our mindset wrapped around that, you’ll find social media much easier to integrate into your day-to-day life.


Picture this… You are able to put 5,000 people into a room and create your dream networking situation. Anyone can be in this room: referral partners, current clients, friends, fans, future clients, influencers of any sort, celebrities…the list goes on and on. Multiple times a day, you can share your dreams, thoughts, goals, details about your business, your family…the same sort of things you would share at a real-life networking event. This is exactly what your personal Facebook profile does. You are able to hand-select 5,000 people to share your message with. If you don’t align with someone, you unfriend them or block them. This is not a luxury we even have in real-life networking situations. We tried in the 90’s with “Talk to the hand because the face isn’t listening,” but that never worked out all that great.


The power of posting, interacting, and starting conversations with people on your Facebook profile is unlimited. Creating real conversations, real business relationships, and business transactions happen daily. Social media marketing can be a very time-consuming marketing tool. Think about how much time you spend attending many social networking events. In around 20 minutes a day, you are able to strategically interact with your community online. Increase your interactions from real-life events. Create new powerful relationships from the comfort of your own home, in your pajamas.
