Can you use social media in an offline business?

A guest post here, and in it I talk about our experience as a service based offline business and how we use social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook.



Is there a business that could not benefit from some aspect of social media?



There must be one.... there always is!

When people talk about social media, sites like Facebook and Twitter they often talk about return on investment and monetizing it. If I told you I invested 3 hours a week and got a significant return would you believe me? Would you believe me if I told you I was a brick and mortar business and not a social media business?

If you are a chatty helpful person then you can do well with social media too.

Set up your searches for your keywords, and talk back to people that need help.

Direct them to pages on your blog that can help and ask them to ReTweet if they found it useful.

If people are in other countries direct them to a Twitter user or blog in their own country for help. You make two new friends that way.

Nearly 20 billion searches a month are performed on Twitter so once a day Tweet out what you do and a link to your website so you are found in the searches. Mine goes out at around 4am in the morning so it can be found but not annoy my regular followers. Read more at www.smallbusinessbranding.com

Where does the money from our blog go?

Our revenue from Birds on the Blog is quite low, too low to split between the contributers. So we put it to good use, we pay for the education of twin girls in Uganda.



A worthwhile cause.

With that out of the way we headed to the school. The children put on a song and dance for the parents and it was heart warming to see. We had drinks and bites courtesy of Hastoe Housing Association staff who selected this community as their overseas project

I sneaked off and had a meeting with the Head Teacher to see how he was settling (only been with us for 3 weeks) and also met the Girls’ teacher. She gave me a sneak preview of their end of year class reports. Although they are only 5 they had to do exams, Perfect was 5th out of 80 and Princess was 12th, whilst their older sister Cycline was 5th out of 30. Their best subjects are English and Maths. I can’t tell you how proud that made me feel. I also learned that our contributions were enough to cover Cycline’s fees last year so we have have sponsoring all 3 girls!
