Pinterest Marketing Tips To Stay Away From!

Being a beginner on pinterest is quite daunting. I remember not knowing anything about this visual world. It was a little difficult for me to start as a beginner. Following wrong or poorly explained pinterest marketing advice, I got my account blocked in the first week! From there I started to look more into pinterest marketing and started my journey afresh!

Combined with my experiences and top notch advice from other amazing content creators, I went from the naive pinner who followed every tip and got herself blocked to a steadily growing pinner!

From my experiences, I compiled a list of pinterest tips and advice to avoid at all cost! They are damaging and may result in total pinterest failure!

Alt-text: pinterest marketing tips to avoid

NO FOLLOW TIPS:

1. Create pins that are visually appealing to females!

I believe you already know what is wrong with this tip. It is true that 71% of pinterest users are females and 60% of new sign ups are males but this doesn’t necessarily mean you should create pins for only that 71%

What about the 29% of male users on the platform? If everyone is creating pins for the larger half of the pie then where/who will the 29% turn to?

CORRECTION:

Make pins that appeal to all audiences, you can do this simply with Canva which I adore. You may never know which demographic your source of traffic may come from so treat every pinterest user as a piece of special family heirloom you may never want to lose and you’ll start seeing good results?

If your main target is the female audience, go right ahead and serve them with your pins. However, If your company or business serves both sides, don’t miss out on this opportunity to really serve both!

2. Repin all your pins or Pin to as many boards as you can:

Here is one thing my short and turbulent arrival on pinterest marketing has taught me:

Never pin from your own personal boards to another board!

This has been proven to reduce engagement time and I can testify to that. After I got my account unsuspended, I got back to my old pinterest ways due to lack of information!

I used to pin every single pin of mine manually to all my boards. Not long after, I witnessed my pins dropping from their hundreds of daily impressions to one or zero. Then unfortunately, I got my account blocked! From there I created my new account which is doing successfully well!

Secondly, please don’t pin too many boards. It doesn’t matter if you are a member of 1000 boards, which is not possible, Pinterest now recommends that its users avoid sharing the same pin to more than 10 different boards.

Disobey Pinterest and they reduce your pins potential leading to low views and engagement! So simple.

CORRECTION:

Pin all your pins from the site or album directly. This is an accepted practice by Pinterest (although no one knows why!)

You can also go in for smart pin schedulers like Tailwind. I use tailwind and it has great and amazing benefits for all users. From analytics to tailwind share tribes, it is the perfect tool for beginners! Another cheap yet reliable auto pinner with multiple functions is Ninja pinner!

I will recommend these two for anyone beginning on pinterest! About pinning to group boards, it is a recommended practice to pin to your best group boards.

3. Follow as many people as you can so they will follow back!

This is just a no! I tried this and I got blocked! This was part of the reasons for my account suspension so just don’t try it!

Similar: Get as many followers as you can to increase reach!

Yes! The more followers you have, the more people your pin may reach. The problem here is the incomplete advice or tip this creator is giving.

Alt-text: pinterest marketing tips to get more followers

First of all, only newbie pinterest users or failing pinterest users will look for and engage with such posts on this topic so this tip is actually useless unless they provide a magic tap through which you can quickly fetch thousands of followers.

The reason I disagree with this tip is that it leads to frustration and self hate. New and desperate pinners want to find ways to increase their reach so suggesting that getting followers is the only way out is a NO BRAINER!

Plus, getting lots of followers on any social platform is not the only way to get engagement. I know people with lots of followers who barely get any recognition!

CORRECTION:

Follow people whose pins you love or relate to. It is not everyone you should follow, it doesn’t matter how many followers they may have!

Pin posts you love and enjoy to gradually build your following and reach. It may take time but that is life and as long as you love what you do, nothing is impossible!

To simply get legit Pinterest Followers without much hustle, you can use Media mister. It is safe, accurate and true.

4. Pin at the right time for more engagement.

You have probably heard of this tip everywhere. It is a great one, in a factual sense, but let me explain why I don’t agree. Pinterest is a free search engine and a social platform to share great content from your blog. This means over time, your pins will grow and get more engagement!

Alt-text: right timing is always important to post content on social media

So in my opinion don’t feel pressured to share your pins on these prescribed dates and times, pin whenever you like or may get time because I can guarantee that most of that engagement you seek won’t arrive on that day!

There is a certain pin I posted over a month ago using the best time principal  and I received next to nothing. Recently, when I checked my analytics I noticed it has been able to achieve 65,000 impressions, and this all happened this week!

Plus, considering the different time zones, it is quite a stupid and lazy advice to give unless your target group is well defined.

‘What does best time even mean?

For example: An ice cream track waits in your neighbourhood all day, everyday. The owner promises to give an extra cup to whoever buys an ice cream on some specific days. So just like the rest of your neighbours, you flood the ice cream shop on those days just to buy your ice cream.

What then is the possibility the ice cream won’t get finished before it gets to your turn?

CORRECTION:

Pin when you are free or when you feel it is the right time. Don’t keep great posts locked up in your gallery waiting for that right moment like I did!

That right moment may never come. Just as i said before, pinning consistently with autopinners like Ninja pinner or tailwind is a surer way to success.

5. Join group boards with high followers only for more engagement!

Group boards are a great way to get your pins recognised by pinterest users. This tip was suggested by many content creators I read and I am glad to tell you that this narrative is totally false!

Yes, joining such groups with many followers may increase your reach but, aside from that, what you as a pinner is looking for are boards whose members repin a lot!

Most high following group boards have lazy members! That is because they think that their posts will do well because of the number of followers the board has which is false. I am a part of boards with huge followers but whenever I add my pins, the highest amount of traffic I get is 3 to 10 views!

Not to mention the struggles you have to go through just to not be invited in the end!

CORRECTION:

Join boards that focus on your niche and have friendly members who love to share. Don’t forget to share their content as well! It doesn’t necessarily have to have thousands of followers, it is the community and its members that is most important!

6. Create only vertical pins or long form pins!

Pinterest is full of long vertical pins. Mainly because of the myth that only vertical pins perform well. This may be true because of how easy they are to view and include in feeds but not wholly.

My most successful pin while I had my old account was a tiny square pin I uploaded directly from my blog! It had thousands of impressions and a generous amount of saves.

So, this is one of the proven pinterest marketing tips that ‘ONLY VERTICAL PINS GET GREAT ENGAGEMENT IS NOT ENTIRELY TRUE!’

CORRECTION:

Create pins that are easy to read or see. Vertical pins don’t always mean success! Look at your pin and determine if any tweaks will destroy its beauty.

Let’s be honest here, not every image or pin looks great when it is vertical! Let Canva help you with its simple to use tools as well.

7. Join as many group boards as possible!

Well, I am glad to inform you that this is also a myth! From my experience of having two accounts, I can prove to you that this tip is a pinterest fallacy.

As I said earlier, pinterest boards are great for beginners but recently, their impact on the performance of a pin is drastically reducing! After joining as many boards as I could with my first account, I thought that was the end of my marketing!

Most of these boards had thousands of followers but my pin only received 1 impression or none at all within the first week! This goes to prove that joining as many groups as you can doesn’t always mean SUCCESS.

When I started out, I found this Pinterest marketing tip in various blog posts and I began my mission to join as many group boards as I can. Funny enough, that broke me and brought my quick pinterest downfall.

In order to join these boards, you have to follow, move mountains, share, comment and send loads of messages to these people that don’t follow you, so what would that make you look like?

A spammer!!!

My account was suspended the next day! Due to this, I couldn’t pin and my engagement kept on dwindling. I almost gave up on pinterest as they took forever to get back to me.

CORRECTION:

Join group boards that resonate with your topics. At least minimize your group invite send out to only three a day or a week. Group boards are great but having a handful of good boards is enough to ensure great content engagement.

I am a living testimony. With my new account, I asked to join only a handful at a time.

Although I am not among as many group boards as my old account, I have gotten much more engagement on my pins in my first week than I had in a whole month on my old account!

8. Use Sans Serif fonts in your pins!

Since when did this become a determining factor in the success of your pins? I can name 101 font types that are much more stylish and attractive than the Sans Serif.

Canva and Crello, which I love, provide countless fonts for both free users and premium accounts.

CORRECTION:

Use the right font for the right pin. Try out as many fonts during the creation stage to see the one you find most appealing! My all time favourites are Chewy, Jingleberry and Alice.

9. Make all pins funny for more engagement!

This is by far the FUNNIEST tip I have ever read, literally. So what happens if the post isn’t funny or it has no sense of humor at all?

Do I make all my pinterest pins humorous? What if I am paying a tribute to a dead person, should that be funny too?

The lack of explanation and logical reasoning backing this tip is woefully insufficient.

What then do I do to get the right amount of engagement?

CORRECTION:

Create appropriate pins for appropriate posts. If you have to add an element of humor, go right ahead but if there is nothing funny about the post, just go with a visually good image or pin.

No need to worry about being funny, just be yourself and that may be the best humor anyone could ask for!

10. Use as much colour in your pins!

This is simply a horrible idea. Using various and/or unmatching colours in your pin will be the quickest downfall for your pin.

People will avoid your pin like a plague or the Coronavirus. Here is my biggest takeaway:

When making pins, aim for simplicity and avoid clutter. I used to combine many things into a single pin and they always turned out horrible. I wouldn’t say I am great now but I can say I have become better.

CORRECTION:

Use matching and visually appealing colours. Black and white is a great and timeless combination. If you are as colour and beauty blind as I am, you can search for amazing colour pairings or schemes to create your first or next viral Pin!

Bold and eye-catching colours like red, pink, yellow and sometimes blue are perfect for Pinterest but combining all of them is lethal!

You can also use the easy to customise templates readily available to Canva users!

 

Ending remarks:

Winning the pinterest game will take time. Sometimes your success may come faster than others or much later but don’t ever discredit yourself and your abilities based on your analytics for the first month or week!

Everyone who creates good content wants their thoughts to be seen and engaged with, but don’t let that factor be the determinant of your happiness.

9 Steps to Publish Articles Frequently To Drive More Traffic

The next big thing you would be struggling with starting a blog is to publish articles consistently.

I have seen many bloggers not being consistent with blog posting and waiting for a miracle to happen and boost site traffic. If you are not consistently publishing articles, there are a few chances of building your audience and ranking on search results. And there are some people who publish content every day without knowing the tricks of getting more visitors.

There are a lot of things you need to do, and I have listed them below to make your content creation process easier.  You might be familiar with a few of the things but I am sure, you are still unaware of the gems.  

1. Coming up with content ideas

Alt-text: explore-the-trend-on-the-internet-to-get-the-latest-content-ideas

Your content idea is the first thing you need to care about to publish articles frequently. You should be aware of what your audience is searching for and how you are going to solve their problem.

Once you know the niche you are writing about, you can search for where the audience exists on the web.

Quora: Quora is the biggest online community where you find the best answers to any question. Find out what people are asking and how you are going to write content around the topics.

Google trends: See the latest trends and the most popular search terms on google. The graph is the most important thing to see as it shows the popularity of the topic by time.

Buzzsumo: Search for the top content in your niche that is being shared most on social media. This will give you an idea of popular topics that actually work.

In the same way, you can look for other communities and forums where your audience exists for coming up with content ideas.

2. Keyword research

Alt-text: keyword-research-is-a-crucial-step-to-make-a-blog-popular

Keyword research is the most important step you should never miss if you want to publish articles that more and more people are searching for. Once you get the topic idea, you should then search for how people will actually find your content. You should be thinking of the terms people will search to discover your content.

Brainstorming: Think about the terms that people will look up for and jot them down in an excel sheet. Don’t just think about the exact words but go for long-tail keywords.

Semrush: Once you complete the brainstorming process, enter each word on this tool and check for the number of searches. I personally use this tool as it gives the related keywords and the content that is already ranking.

If your site is new, it’s a bit difficult to compete with high-volume keywords. A good option is to look for low-volume and long-tail keywords. Choose less competitive keywords and add more related keywords that you think fit best for your content.

Keyword planner: Keyword planner is another popular tool to see the search volume for different keywords. Enter the keywords from your excel sheet and look for which keyword is being searched the most.

Once you have analyzed all the keywords, choose the keyword you think is the best fit. If you still have doubts about selecting the right keywords, I suggest you go through the keyword research process.

3. Writing an attractive title

Coming up with a great title takes equal time to spend time writing the whole content. You should not take this lightly. After spending enough time and still not getting a good title, use the below tools to Analytics Help to publish articles with an attractive and catchy title.

  1. Portent content idea generator
  2. Awesome title generator
  3. Tweak your biz title generator
  4. SemRush Title Generator

Here is an alternative way to come up with effective article topics.

4. Choosing a header image

Alt-text: a-good-header-image-increases-ctr

You all would agree with the fact that choosing a great header image really works if your title isn’t strong enough. Title and header image are the only things people see when you share content on social media. So, always try to create a header image that attracts attention and compels people to click.

5. Go through the Grammar checker

Once you are done with writing, make sure your content isn’t full of grammatical errors. Nobody would like to read your content even if it is full of jewels.

Grammarly: Download this tool on your PC and make a habit of checking grammar before publishing your content.

6. Optimize the images before you upload

Alt-text: compress-the-images-in-the-blog-to-optimize-the-content

Nobody likes to wait for your content to load. Before you publish articles on your website, the best practice is to optimize your images before uploading them to the server. This reduces the size of your images and loads pages faster. Below are the two best tools you need to bookmark for your future use.

  1. Compressor.io
  2. Tinypng.com

For large size header images, I suggest you compress with compressior.io first and then with tinypng. For any other image, just go with compressor.io.

Use copyright-free images while creating your article. There are lots of free and paid copyright-free images tools available. Here is the best copyright-free images site list you can check.

7. Optimize your content (On-site optimization)

When your draft is ready, don’t just hit the publish button. The important thing is to optimize your content for search results. Make sure to add the keyword in your title, URL, and the first 100 words of your article. If you are running a WordPress site, I suggest you use the Yoast plugin.  

8. Promote your content

Alt-text: promote-your-articles-through-social-media

Once you hit the publish button, don’t just close your laptop. This is the time to apply the 80/20 rule to your content creation and promotion strategies.

Buffer: Save time by using a buffer. This is very useful for scheduling and promoting your content to multiple platforms simultaneously.

9. Measure the results

Alt-text: measuring-the-results-of-blog-performance

Now it’s time to see the results. Which is the most popular content and where in the world your targeted audience exists.

Google Analytics: Google Analytics is one of the best tools to analyze your site traffic. Using this tool, you can see the top content on your site, your website’s daily visitors, audience location, and much more.

Conclusion

So far you have come to know that creating content does need great effort and time. But by using the tools I mentioned above can make your life easier and save time to generate more content.

If you have read up to this point, allow me to say thanks and comment below with your favorite tools which you think I have missed.

Proper and Effective Ways For Managing Phone Calls For SMEs

A business receives so many calls every day. Almost all the inbound calls are very important. To increase the efficiency and growth of  your business, you should follow proper and effective ways for managing phone calls.

It cuts down on the amount of time you need to spend actually speaking on the phone. This time management principle can be applied to incoming phone calls without being rude to your customers, or making them feel unimportant.

Use a Business Greeting

use-business-greetings-on-phone-calls

First and foremost, you want the caller to know exactly who they have called, and immediately move onto the purpose of the call. The caller will know why they are calling, but if there is any doubt in their mind who they’ve just called, they may seek clarification and waste time. It’s important to move the phone call along as quickly as possible.

Consider Follow-Up Calls as a Quick Solution

making-a-follow-up-call-to-a-customer

As the caller launches their query, you can assess if the query is something that can be dealt with immediately, or may require some investigation, and therefore would be best suited to a follow-up call later in order to save time. If it is something that can be dealt with on the spot, then no need to refer the caller to any further action, but if you think it is something that may take a little time, then it may be better to assure the caller that their query will be dealt with, and arrange a suitable time to call them back.

Keep the Call on Track

 talking-with-a-customer-on-call

Often, callers have an idea about the query they are calling for, but are not specific in the questions they need to be asking. This can cause delays in getting to the root of the problem. In such a case, you should use summaries as way markers for managing phone calls and speed up the process along.

For example, “so what you’re saying is…”, and also pick out anything which you feel is straying from the main point, e.g. “I think that may be a separate issue”, or “could we just deal with the first point first”, and so on. The caller is likely to appreciate being guided through their inquiry. 

Close the Call Effectively

closing-the-call-with-greetings

In order for the call to end, it is the receiver’s role to close it off. This can be done by providing a brief summary of all that was discussed, followed by a reminder of the actions that you will take, also including anything they agreed on that they need to do. If you need to hurry the call along because you need to be getting on with other tasks, then this is a really good way of closing down the conversation and ending the call, rather than leaving it open and more flow of dialogue eating into your time. 

Always Ensure There is Someone Dealing With the Phone Calls

business-representative-dealing-with-a-customer-on-phone-call

It may be tempting to have a voicemail machine collect messages, or just as bad in our book is an automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, since customers are proven to not like it either at the end of their phone call. If you’re struggling to cope answering calls alone and there is no one else inside your business that can help, then you should outsource this side of your business to professional providers, such as Reception HQ USA call answering service. They’ll be able to help you increase productivity, and the small cost is likely to be offset in greater sales volumes.

Time management for SMEs can be difficult, so it’s useful to use effective ways for managing phone calls, or another solution might be to have a professional answering or reception service take the calls for you.

5 REASONS AN ENTREPRENEUR NEEDS TO HIRE OUTSIDE HELP

Most entrepreneurs work from home and by themselves when they’re starting out. Being an entrepreneur is more than a 40-hour-per-week job. Sometimes, you need help with your work, but you don’t want to hire someone full time. Instead of trying to handle everything in your business by yourself, the following five reasons may convince you to let go and hire some outside help.

To Deal With Finances

deal-with-finances-to-analyze-business-growth

As an entrepreneur, giving up any amount of control in your business can be hard. Preparing business taxes is often one of the first tasks entrepreneurs subcontract because tax preparation can be a time-consuming task, with processing payroll being another time-involved chore.

You should hire outside help to take care of finances because the support will ease stress and help you focus on improving your products and services. Hiring a business coach can also help you learn where to focus your attention.

To Help With Periods of Heavy Sales

Most businesses experience fluctuations in sales throughout the year. This scenario is especially true when selling seasonal products and services. When your business enters a period of heavy sales, hiring outside help to handle the transactions is a lifesaver, especially if you get extra customer service help, shipping and handling labor, or an account executive who handles sales.

As an entrepreneur, consider turning to a temp agency to help you fill temporary roles in your company.

To Increase Your Website Traffic

Website marketing is another area where entrepreneurs can hire outside help. Page rank success is not something you can attain overnight, and you have much to learn. Networking system also helps to your business here you can learn how to build your networking strategy.

Instead of trying to expand your business and learn SEO overnight, hire a professional to handle your website marketing so that you can focus on business operations. You can find businesses that can help you improve the design treatment of your website, increase your website traffic, handle content marketing, monitor your analytics, and improve your site’s SEO rankings.

To Handle Marketing and Advertising

marketers-handle-marketing-and-advertising-of-the-business

Every entrepreneur starting out knows that you can’t grow a business without focusing some attention on marketing and advertising. Here is where outside help is useful. You can hire someone to analyze your audience and then create a marketing plan that will convert leads to sales. Marketing and advertising can involve areas ranging from television commercials and online ads to print media.

To Receive Customer Service Calls

employees-receive-customer-service-calls

As you gain more and more customers, your need for customer service representatives also grows. You never know when customers will call in with a question or complain about something with your products or services that dissatisfied them.

As an entrepreneur, you can’t be tied to your phone all day resolving customer issues. Instead, you can subcontract your customer service responsibilities if you hire outside help. You can find many businesses that specifically handle customer service for other companies.

When you reach a point in your business where you can’t do everything yourself, you’re on your way to success. Stop trying to control everything and consider hiring outside help for the tasks that tie you down. If you can’t hire full-time employees, look for business services and software that can help you fill some roles.

6-ways to cut your business stationery costs

6 Ways How You Can Cut Your Business Stationery Costs

Who would have thought that humble stationery items could cost so much and do so much damage to bottom lines? Not many business owners, that’s for sure. stationery costs are insidious. The damage to your bottom line is usually done by a thousand tiny paper cuts if you’ll excuse the pun. And many small businesses can end up spending over £500 a year just on stationery. That seems like an awful lot when you consider just how much administration is now done online.

But here are a few pieces of advice by which you can cut your business stationery costs. Following are those cost-reducing strategies.

Cost-Reducing Strategies

Pick A Competitive Supplier

Stationery is still a necessity. But, if you want to cut your business stationery costs, then you don’t have to settle for any old stationery supplier. Be picky with your provider and haggle the best price if you can.

Don’t just be content with a supplier who can deliver some products cheaply, but puts a significant markup on others. And don’t be impressed by vendors who throw in free gifts. Usually, it means that their prices are higher than they could be. You can also check how to build your networking strategy.

Hire In Equipment When You Need It

how to cut your business stationery costs

Companies like Grangewell Management Ltd allow you to hire things like printers when you need them. This saves you a tonne of money on upfront printer costs for starters. But bigger printers are also a lot more cost-effective on a per unit basis than small inkjets. And much, much faster.

Have Company-wide Standard Products

Quickly identify which stationery products your company uses most often and stick to them. This should help to streamline processes and build familiarity in-house.

Here is small-budget marketing for small business owners.

Having a standard product list also prevents staff from ordering in more expensive, premium brands. Create a favorites list and tell staff to stick with that. If they need something special, they should run it by you first.

Consider Compatible Cartridges For Printers

compatible printer cartridges

When you bought your office printer, you probably spent a lot of money. But I bet that you were still surprised by how much you got for your money.

Part of the reason why you get so many printers for your money is that printer companies know they can make back the money with cartridges. It’s a quirk of the market which can end up costing your business an arm and a leg. That’s why it’s good to keep an open mind and consider third-party compatible cartridges. No, they won’t have the manufacturer’s seal of approval. But they’ll still work and they’ll be a lot cheaper than the conventional alternative. These tips also boost your Business leads at a low cost.

Appoint A Stationery Monitor

If you find that your staff is making reckless stationery purchases, appoint somebody to sign them off. A supervisor can act in the company’s best interest and ask staff why they’ve decided to spend company money in the way that they have. This will surely help you to cut your business stationery costs.

Take A Month Off Every Year

Some companies have a policy whereby each year they take a month off from stationery orders. Bosses are always amazed by how many sheets of paper and pens staff find lurking in their cabinets and drawers.

networking strategy

How to build your networking strategy: Overview

If you read any site or book about networking, you will hear that you have to get a networking strategy or purpose to network efficiently.  However, how many times have you seen an article taking you to step by step through how to make your media strategy?  Or one that is solely focused on the special requirements of coaches?

 Everyone, if we realize it or not, is networking all the time and has got their own network. Let us be fair here, networking is just the process of communication to another person, be it via a telephone call, email, letter, face-to-face assembly, Twitter, site comment, or Facebook status update.

However, when I use the word media, what instantly comes into mind?  I bet it is not anything related to LinkedIn!  So many coaches equate networking with operating the space.  Not just any old area; one filled with strangers, topped off with dread, dread, and some hot white wine and curled-up dry sandwiches…

Also, read Best Top 10 Android Apps Must Know.

In fact, working in the area is only a small portion of effective business networking. Successful small business networking is the practice of finding, building, and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships. It’s this definition that offers the framework for designing your personal networking strategy.

“A clear and concise personal networking strategy will permit you to make the choices as to what networking activities you will do, i.e. your networking plan. If you implement your media program, you will, if it goes to plan, reach your networking goals.”

If the definition of successful business networking provides the frame for your personal networking plan, what exactly do we really mean by a media strategy?  A networking strategy details how you will achieve your goals via your media activities. A very clear and concise private networking strategy will allow you to make the choices as to what media activities you will do, i.e. your media plan.

If you implement your networking plan, you will, if it all goes to plan, achieve your media objectives. It’s this absence of a joined-up, well-thought-through personal networking strategy that leads to a lot of coaches failing to network effectively.

There are five phases to creating an effective networking strategy.

Five Steps To Creating an effective networking strategy

Stage 1

Create your media targets – i.e. what do you need to attain as a consequence of your networking activities. Are you wanting to win new business? Locate other coaches to collaborate with, or find your next role?

Stage 2

Audit – i.e. evaluate the suitability of your current network, networking activities, keeping in touch strategies, to help you attain your networking objectives.

Period 3

Find – i.e., who do you have to fulfill, and where and how are you going to fulfill them. Will you bump into them on LinkedIn, Twitter, or by becoming a member of your regional CIPD branch?

Period 4

Build – i.e. what are you going to do in order to advance the connection from just a name, to a deep, strong, and highly beneficial relationship?  How are you going to choose who to deepen the connection with?  What will be your criteria for, A or C-listers or that introducers will be on your internal,’ center’ or outer circle’? How will you define what you mean by an internal,’ middle’ or outer circle’?

Stage 5

Keep – i.e. what will you do to keep your relationships ticking over?  After all, if your network never learns from you or sees you, then the relationship will gradually wither and perish.  

If you want to protect your business then must read this blog.

Conclusion

Should you finish each phase, your networking program will almost write itself. The difference between your networking strategy and media plan is:

Your media technique tells you’how’ you will achieve your media objectives, whereas your networking program is what you may perform on a daily, weekly, monthly basis along with also the projects/campaigns you’ll run to achieve your media objectives.

In another article in this series on building a personal networking strategy, we will have a look at the first phase in the process – defining your networking goals.
