Let’s keep each other accountable this year.

Focus on relationship building

What’s the point of social media if you aren’t social? Commit to forging new relationships in 2016 by interacting consistently with customers, employees, influencers and peers. Be proactive in looking for opportunities to start a conversation. Remember, not every conversation needs to social media marketing strategies revolve around your product of service. Found a piece of content you think might interest a few specific people among your followers? Go ahead and @mention them when you share it. Liked a book or blog you just read? Show your appreciation for the author’s work. Genuine conversations always earn good karma on social media.Repurpose existing content assets. Quality beats quantity when it comes to content. That’s the reason why you should look beyond content creation in 2016. Spinning one blog after another will do little to help your credibility if you aren’t adding any real value to your audience. Repurposing existing content assets will not only improve the shelf-life of each piece of content, but will also give you a breather every once in a while. Convert text to images, podcasts and video to enhance the reach and appeal of your content. Pull together insights from multiple pieces of content you may have already published to create one comprehensive resource.Explore more content formats, especially video. In a recent study by Regalix, 83 percent of the respondents said video was effective in meeting their content marketing goals. Interestingly, it was also found that most videos (79 percent of them) were distributed via social media. If you’ve been limiting yourself to textual content, 2016 is the year for you to experiment with new content formats. While creating content in other formats like visuals, audio and video is surely more challenging, it’s going to be well worth the effort. Improve content distribution. There was a time when content creators, assured of the quality of the work they produce, didn’t feel the pressure to promote or distribute it extensively. However, the amount of content being produced and shared is growing steadily, making it much harder for your content social media marketing manager to get noticed out there. In fact, smart marketers are now spending more time on repurposing, distributing and re-distributing their content, than on its creation alone. In the coming year, the ROI on your social content marketing efforts will depend all the more on your distribution strategy, so make sure you have a sound one in place. Social media is like the clock that never stops ticking, and we’re all playing catch up. But as hard as it may seem, you should set your sight on getting ahead the coming year, and we hope these resolutions will help you do so.

2016 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

HAPPY 2016!!! I hope everyone had a memorable NYE with their loved ones. As for me? It was a chill night marketing with social media in with Chloe & Allen, and a few of our close friends. You know you’re old when you can barely stay up past midnight for the countdown. Haha!So let’s talk about what everyone is talking about today… RESOLUTIONS! I’ve had a love/hate relationship with goals until I read the book “The Magic Lamp” a while ago. I’m not a big self-help book reader, but this book is different. I highly recommend that everyone gives this book a try because it really helps you set goals and achieve them in the most practical and strategic way possible. Now… I’m not writing this post to teach you all HOW to achieve your goals, but instead I wanted to share with you what my 2016 goals are. Usually when I set goals like this I keep them to myself, but this year I wanted to publicly talk about them, so 1) you guys can keep my accountable and 2) it will be great to look back on this post at the end of the year.So here are 5 Goals/ Resolutions of 2016: Become More Active in my Community Maybe it’s because I put so much of my life out on social media that I prefer to be alone in my own little bubble if I had the option. I usually shy away from meeting new people and building new relationships, but after becoming a mom I have realized the importance of community- to support, serve, and connect. Read at Least 1 Book a Month I used to be a big reader, but after social media took over my life reading has become all but obsolete to me. Being able to lose myself in a good read not only stimulates the mind, but it’s healthy for the soul. It allows me to dream, imagine, and be creative. Learn to Cook I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again: I really want to learn how to cook. Especially now that I’m a mom, I’m so much more aware and careful of the things that I put into my body, and especially aware about what goes into Chloe’s. Being able to cook from home is not only economical but is so much healthier for everyone in the family. Health is wealth! Run 2 Times a Week. This is not for a weight loss goal but more so for my mental sanity. It’s when I run that I feel the most inspired. Something social media marketing software about running releases a mental block for me, and allows me to think beyond what I usually do.
