Total Social Media Domination Feb 26

Don’t let the magic of social media slip away! Don't hold yourself back with fear or not knowing where to start. Close your eyes and think, “What would I talk about (post) if I was in a networking situation right now?” Interact, be social, and remember that social media is a free resource you have. Don’t waste it! Take action! Start interacting with others. Send out connection requests. Send direct messages, post about your life and business. You will be blown away by the results. 

The 5x5x5 system starts with sending out 5 friend requests daily. Be strategic in who you are inviting to connect with you. Think about that dream networking situation. Who do you want to invite to your “networking event?” If you meet people in real life, ask them to connect online. Send a friend request right away.

Next, we are going to interact with 5 different people. This simply means that we are going to find 5 posts to comment on. Comment the same way you would if you were talking to this person in real life. Be social and use 2-3 sentences to actually interact with their posts. Imagine that person is showing you the picture they posted or telling you the story face-to-face. Respond accordingly.

The third "5" is to send 5 direct messages to your connections. Don’t send a friend request and a direct message on the same day, unless you already have a connection. This is everyone's least favorite step. People share concerns about being too pushy, too salesy, or too annoying to others. It feels like a big deal to send someone a direct message, but it's NOT. The only time it's a bad idea to send a direct message is if you are trying to only sell them something. If you are starting a direct message with a pitch for recruiting or a product, you are doing it wrong. If you are starting a direct message with “hey girl, hey! I haven’t talked to you since high school,” you are doing it wrong. Think of the direct messages as a side conversation at a networking event. You are starting a conversation. You can answer questions they may have asked. Wish them a happy birthday. Tell them you are thinking about them and hope they have an awesome day. Ask who a good referral for them is right now. Just send a message as a conversation and watch your friendships grow!
