10 Powerful Reason to get involve with Social Media
Social media participation is an essential tool in networking with professional contacts, making new contacts, recruiting employees, and keeping in touch with the world. If you’re not participating in the top social media and networking sites, the world is leaving you behind. Why not become involved on the social media Web sites while your participation can advance your career help you obtain superior employees by enlarging your candidate pool, and enable you to easily stay in touch with coworkers and former coworkers at one location. Social media sites are a critical component of professional networking going forward. These ten reasons support your time investment.
- Stay in touch – Like everyone you might have lost in touch with your friends, people you know over so many years, look them up on the popular social media sites and you may find them. Once you have them linked in your network profile you will never lose them again.
- Be found – Join those popular social media sites where people will find you, like FaceBook, Twitter, MySpace etc.
- Find candidates for jobs – This is one of the top ways to find passive candidates, people who may not currently be actively seeking work. You can email your network with job requirements and ask for referrals. Plant your foot firmly in the social networks that will provide the future employees for your organization. Seek the assistance of your current employees, too. They may already be networking on these sites – or they may be interested in helping you find the kind of people with whom they want to work.
- Find a new job – look for a job or position yourself for career growth, it’s important to have an online presence where you can showcase your skills and experience.
- Establish your online brand – You want to establish an online image before you need it. The information you put in your profiles will eventually serve you well, when a potential employer or a potential employee “googles” your name, the employer will find the credentials of a proficient professional that you are.
- Join groups that share your interests, your community, or your profession – Facebook, as an example, allows you to create groups. Being a member of job search groups and other members point me to interesting marketing articles. Following people on Twitter can also provide content recommendations. Twitter groups are increasingly scheduling in-person meet ups so that people who are interacting online can meet face-to-face.
- Develop social connections over time on social media sites – Despite the fact that Social media such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace are highly dominated by young generation the rate of professionals, businessman are also increasing rapidly meaning lots of them are using this social media in getting connected with people. Also watch your steps be careful on what you share in all the social media network that you are using to safeguard that professional image referenced above, but don’t doubt its power to expand your relationships.
- Provide a space in which the users of your product or service can interact with you – Consumers want to have a conversation with you about their wants and needs. They want to tell you how you can better serve them. Many of them want to build community around products or services that they love. Give them the opportunity. Blogs sponsor user forums, and answer user comments. Use your customers’ feedback to improve; it’s much easier to zap a note off to you on Facebook, or to comment on your blog, than it is to write a letter to an anonymous company address.
- Build community around your product or service – Forums and blogs on your company Web site, forums and blogs within your human resources and other community opportunities build this sense of community. Both within and outside of your company, you need to develop relationships. They are your communication life line.
- Establish a company presence on significant social media sites - The recent Cone Business in Social Media study indicates that “93% of Americans believe that a company should have a presence on social media sites and 85% believe that these companies should use these services to interact with consumers.” Of the study responders:
- 60% of Americans regularly interact with companies on a social media site,
- 43% of consumers say that companies should use social networks to solve the consumers’ problems, and
- 41% believe that companies should use social media tools to solicit feedback on products and services.
The Internet has opened up communication across world boundaries. Why not use its social media components to expand your network, add friends, make connections, recruit employees, find people with scarce skills, and enlarge your world view? I’m participating. Why not you, too?
