Small businesses and marketers are getting really excited about social media so many of them hop onto it and start adding friends to their profiles. After a while they realize that all the hard work they did when adding people to their lists is not paying off. Their friends, contacts and followers are not exactly buying their stuff and they are not clicking on their links. So basically what went wrong here?
Remember its social media its a kind of medium that is driven by people to people interaction you are not really interacting with people you are shouting at them and you just want your stuff to be heard and you don't want to listen anyone else.
Get Real on Your Social Networks
Make your social web activities genuine by actually interacting with people. Don't just add people randomly and forget about them. It is like invite someone to your party and not attending them at all. Thats rude and very unethical.
Make Real Contacts
It is a foolish technique to start adding people randomly. You need to make sure that the other person you are adding knows you if they don't then before adding them introduce yourself and try to learn more about them. Doing this will actually connect you with the people on your friends list.
Get Social
Definitely you want people to visit your links and like your activities, but why would they do that. Again social media is about people to people interaction so in order to get response from people on the stuff that you are posting, you need to respond to the stuff they have been posting. But remember don't just randomly start liking and retweeting other's people's updates. You need to make sure that you display a genuinely friendly interest in their activities.
