Christine Buffaloe: The Ten-Minute Social Media Plan
There are so many missed opportunities to promote on Facebook!
I’m frequently asked by my clients to explain the ROI on social networking. My answer is always the same: “How much time would you like to spend?”
It’s really very simple: the more you put into it, the higher your rate of return. That’s true for anything in life, be it business or personal.
I ask my clients to spend five minutes a day on Twitter. Look through the tweets that are showing. Retweet someone else. Post a tip. Don’t be too promotional.
Next comes Facebook!
If you’ve set it up correctly, Twitter feeds directly to your status on your Facebook home page. Take another five minutes to check your status feed every day. Comment on others’ feeds. Offer tips and advice. Again, don’t be overtly promotional.
Always remember to be conversational and polite. Engage others.
Facebook can appear to be confusing and hard to follow, but once you know your way around, it’s very user friendly.

Thank you Ariane for this post.
Folks get overwhelmed by Twitter and Facebook because they want to do it all at one time.
If you break it down into managable time limits, it’s really quite easy to keep up with.
The key is to take your time. Subscribe to the Facebook blog at http://blog.facebook.com/ and that way you will be kept abreast of any changes or new tools.
I like to say “keep it simple”.
