Grow Your Startup With #socialmedia
(Marketing)

You CAN leverage on social media
Without a 1.000.000 fans Facebook Page nor 500k followers on Twitter
because You do not need this… and probably you don’t have them, either...
Social media is NOT about fans and followers
It’s about 1 on 1 conversation
Everyone wants to feel special...
Before you begin, understand your VALUE
Your startup fill some gap, fix something, solves some problem
Find people who have problem your business solves, they will be delighted…
Find the MOST suitable social network to start
Start doing it good, ONE
network at a time
Measure results (traffic,
registration, sells etc.)...
Do not be afraid, be brave
But what if?... There is only one “what if” - What if you don’t try...
Start talking to people, including influencers/VIP
Set measurable business goals
Win 10 customers by end of quarter, push sales 5% next month etc.
Pumping fans’ counter is not among them
Build your community from the other side
Rat race for growing numbers of followers and fans does not make sense
People have to go after you in the act of appreciation and gratitude etc.
