Things Phillip Romero Could Do To Enhance Social Media Presence

By Freda Watts


In the modern world social networking is very important. If you name is, say, Phillip Romero, creating and enhancing an online presence could be important for business. Even though social media is hugely popular, there are a number of people that are not necessarily aware of how to improve their standing in the social media community.

Plenty of thought should go into how the audience or customers can be served. The tendency can be for individuals to write mainly about themselves, what they are up to, with no real thought for what others wish to read. This type of attitude may read well to close friends and family, and that is debatable, but the wider audience won't follow someone on Twitter until you've shown what you can do for them.

It pays to turn people into human beings and not hide them behind a company or brand. Strangers are more likely to respond and interact when comments are made from an individual rather than that of someone hiding behind a generic company name or a brand.

Having a presence on the internet in the first place is a great start. Try to make each person in the social media marketing department visible, which means giving them their own email and using their name and a photo. Calling them 'admin' or 'webmaster' is too impersonal. Each time they make a comment or post they should be visible and contactable by the wider audience. Be sure to choose the team wisely, an errant tweet can blow a hole in the company's reputation overnight.

Listening is very important in social media as it provides valuable feedback as to who the customers and audience are, what motivates them and why they make the choices they make. By taking a note of their praise and grievances, a pattern emerges of the role that the firm and its services and products, plays in their everyday lives.

It is vital to understand that being friends with customers does not mean refraining from promoting products or services. It means doing so in a subtle way they does not look like in your face promotion or a glorified news release. The way around this is to create content that add value to their lives while slipping in the ways in which your service or product can help.

As the social networking platforms are populated by humans it is wise to use humans in the process at all times. Spamming places with content may get a firm noticed for all the wrong reasons and it may be hard to restore a battered reputation. By using humans operators to reply to posts and help others, a rapport can be created and relationships have more chance of blooming.

Creating an online presence, whether you're Phillip Romero or just someone who would like to be famous, involves helping others and being of service to them. Create a valuable experience for them, solve their problems and Twitter followers and Facebook likes may not be far away.
