My Strategy for developing a professional network online and in person for myself. I would look through all of my social media history on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram are showing a professional impression for me to potential employers and clients. Get connected with business professionals on social media sites Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin.
Facebook is often consider as a personal social media site. Facebook have marketing tools that are good for business and connected to a target audiences where I can make a social media marketing campaign for connecting to potential contacts.
Facebook Contacts can help me connected with other people to find new leads to network. The Facebook contacts will know people that might have a business and or work.
Facebook business pages would allow customers or clients to send a likes and comments to my page. Facebook group are pages that people with similar interest can come together connected and help each other on a project for work or a pastime hobby. Facebook groups have the option for privet and public groups.
Twitter is great tool for social media networking that allow communication with 140 charters. Short messages of information to display potential work and can be use as a marketing tool for business. Twitter is great platform to give followers quick updates and news about the business. Twitter is a great tool for networking with follower and also using links connected to the company on twitters helps increase the number of people visit the website. Twitter #hashtages can be use for posting any messages for any group of people allow the tweet to be reposted by any other person that would want to send the post to another person or group people to creating a chain of post and a network of people that will indorse the messages on twitter to other followers for example about a great photography business they found.
One of the top social media sites for business professionals Linkedin is a great tool for making connection with other business professionals in the field of work I would be interested in finding a job or create a network. Linkedin social media site helps companies to connected with clients and benefit from finding high skilled employees and freelance independent contractors that would help the company grow to the next level.
Internal Networking
Companies would take full advantage of an internal social media networking to connected with people in the office and the company. An internal network companies can reach out to social media networks and building their own social media network for their employees to connected with each others while working on a project. The internal social media network would use person to person chat instant messages, Facebook messenger to be shared by the project team members. Employees working remote at home can feel they are in the office and are not being excluded from meetings and important discussions. Exchanging shifts online on the social media network will allow employees exchange shifts with other employees. The Internal social media network will have subgroups for employees forum where employees are invited to freely post comments on a discussions board with each other about work related issues and concerns, employee welfare and the shape of present and future company policies.
