Tuesday Tips: Build Relationships

Several experts in social media have been recently quoted via Constant Contact talking about building relationships with social media.

“Social media is virtual networking. Take the time to build relationships just like you would face to face.” -- Laura Cummins, Owner, NineDotz Consulting @NineDotz

“In social media, content leads to conversation, conversations build relationships, and relationships result in ROI." -- Robert Caruso, Founder & CEO, Bundle Post @fondalo

Relationships are important in the real world, but also in social media.  Friends will recommend other friends to like a page, or a friend who sees a friend liked or shared or commented on something on your wall may be inclined to see what it's about and in turn like your page.  Relationships can be more than just the consumer level, but also on the corporate and non-profit level.  Like various corporations you work with or are affiliated with with your company's page.  Same for non-profits your company supports.  Network and build your relationships through social media.

And, as we keep mentioning in posts through out the blog, be sure to engage your fans, your customers, and the companies/organizations your affiliated with.  All of that helps to build your relationships through social media.
