Define Your Focus Part 2 – An Example

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Lisa Shultz

Earlier this week I suggested you make your website or social media profiles present a clear message and calls to action.

I went into all my profiles and updated them and wanted to provide you with an example of what I did. I would love for you to comment and share on my focus and also how this exercise has helped you.

About Lisa Shultz

What do I do?

I connect and empower women (and sometimes men).

How do I do that?

I encourage women to share their stories and speak their truths with my book Speaking Your Truth: Courageous Stories From Inspiring Women.

I support women and men to write the book they have inside themselves with my book How To Bring Your Book To Life This Year.

Why is it important?

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.” Maya Angelou

I provide a place for women to write and share their story in the ongoing anthology of Speaking Your Truth book.

I strive to give hope and a sense of connection to the readers of Speaking Your Truth that they are not alone by stories they can relate to in the book or by sharing my story and my journey.

“And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.” Marianne Williamson

Define Your Focus

Posted on May 2, 2011 by Lisa Shultz

Do people really know what you do? Are you crystal clear to your visitors on your website of what you offer and what action to take?

Examine all your profiles and all your welcome pages and make them clear with a call to action in every spot possible.

If you need help, follow this guideline:

What do I do?

Why is it important?

How can people find out more?

This week, look at all your profiles and pages about you and make sure that you are clearly answering these questions.

Social Media Focus Week – You Tube

Posted on April 25, 2011 by Lisa Shultz

This week’s focus is on You Tube. Even if you do not currently create videos, sign up for You Tube.

You Tube is here to stay and you may want to do searches for particular people or organizations to follow just like any other social media platform.

You may want to comment and share other people’s videos and save some in your “favorites”.

I encourage you to actually create a video this week and post it. Have a friend or family member take a video of you to announce an upcoming event, a tip or even a book review. Do a video testimony of someone else. Do anything, but do something! People love to see you in action! It helps them to get to know you better.

I encourage you to visit my You Tube channel and subscribe. Do that with other friends as well. Visit You Tube each day and really get familiar with all the ways it can be used. Do searches and have some fun!

When you upload your new video, be sure to let me know! Comment and share below!

Social Media Focus Week – Linkedin

Posted on April 18, 2011 by Lisa Shultz

This week’s focus is on Linkedin. Spend this week immersed in Linkedin each day.

Begin with updating your profile and making sure it is accurate for all the you do today.

Clean up messages and invitations. Invite new people you have met to connect especially leaders and people of influence in your industry.

If you have not written a review of someone for awhile, make sure you write some this week. Who has given you excellent service? Who gave a great speech? Who has a product you use and enjoy? Always write reviews whenever you have the opportunity. Ask for a few as well.

Spend time joining groups or becoming involved in the discussions of groups you already are a member of. If you are not interested in some groups you originally joined, delete them. Make it a priority to interact in groups you like all week. Provide value rather than trying to sell.

If you have read a good book lately, write a book review. Visit every feature you see on Linkedin during the week and click on it to see what it is all about.

If we are not connected on Linkedin yet, please invite me. info@LisaShultz.com.

You do not need to do all the things mentioned here in one day. Visit Linkedin each day to get used to posting comments, looking at your inbox, interacting with groups and becoming more comfortable overall with Linkedin.

Social Media Focus Week – Facebook

Posted on April 11, 2011 by Lisa Shultz

This week’s focus is all about Facebook. If you followed last week’s post about Twitter, I hope you have an increased comfort level with Twitter and are now ready to move onto a new focus week. Keep tweeting this week if you have time, but let’s move forward with Facebook.

You may have a personal page for friends and a fan page or two. Begin by editing your profile and cleaning up all parts of your listing and tabs for accuracy and making sure it represents where you are today in life and business.

Next, view all your notifications, messages, and friend requests and clean up all of it. Feel free to change your notification settings as well. Click on Account settings in the upper right corner of your screen and make adjustments for your time and life style.

Edit your photos too. If someone tagged you in a photo and you want to remove it, just click on “remove tag”. Perhaps upload some new photos you like.

Visit the Home Page or News Feed and comment or like some posts you see there. Invite some new people to be your friend that you recently met at a business event. Explore all parts of your own site, and when you feel confident that it is cleaned up and looking good, it is time to try some new things.

Mari Smith is an expert at social media and has written such a comprehensive report, that I would be remiss if I did not direct you to the link that will keep you busy all week on Facebook. If you are ready to take Facebook to the next level, click here.

You do not need to do everything at once, but visit Facebook each day and get connected with people and commenting on posts while making your own as well!

Keep tweeting if you have time, click on the tweet button in this post, and comment and share if you have learned anything new this week! And please “Like” my Facebook page if you have not already.

Social Media Focus Week – Twitter

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Lisa Shultz

Today begins a week long focus on social media with emphasis on Twitter. This week immerse yourself in Twitter each day. By the end of the week, you should feel more confident and effective in your use of twitter.

Here are some suggestions for you to do this week:

1. Look at your profile and make you have a picture and have entered keywords for your industry or niche. You may want to add your website or Facebook Fan Page for people to connect with you. See my Twitter profile as an example. (Please follow me if you aren’t already.)

2. Visit WeFollow.com. If you have not done so already, add yourself free and then put in 5 keywords for your niche. If you did this before, it is time to check on your ranking. To find your account again, you will go to www.wefollow.com/your twitter name. Now see if you are getting some low rankings. If not, swap out a new word that has a narrow focus. While there, look at some people with low rankings and follow them. You can visit this site each day this week and follow more people related to your industry.

3. Consider installing TweetDeck to organize yourself and which groups you are watching. Play with this tool each day to get comfortable and competent in using it.

4. Check out Twellow. This is where you can do some clean up like viewing “Non-Mutuals” to see if you want to follow them (or not). You can also do searches there as well.

5. Look into Social Oomph. This site can help you do some clean up and organization.

6. Explore BusinessTwitter and SproutSocial. See what resources might be helpful for you.

You do not need to do all these things in one day. I would suggest tweeting each day this week to get into the habit. Explore these suggestions as your time permits each day and find sites you like or find useful. The key is to do something Twitter related every day this week as your focus. Keep coming back to this page if needed as your reference or simply mark in your calendar “Twitter” each day this week as a reminder.

While you are here, click on the Re-tweet button next to this post. Please comment and share below on what you learned and what you have accomplished with your Twitter focus this week. Get Tweeting!
