Business Basic for Beginners Tip: Social Media Checklists

In Business Basics For Beginners, I teach you how to get started with a creative business. I also teach you how to start a facebook page, twitter, pinterest and get started blogging.

How on earth can you keep up with all of that?

Some weeks I do better than others.

It definitely can be overwhelming to do all of that plus make your products and get them listed for sale. However, I have come up with a system to keep track of my social media efforts. I created weekly Social Media Checklists.

Here's how I did it.

1. I decided what kinds of things I want to share each week. For me this included what topics I would write about on my blog, what kinds of information I would share on my facebook page (and twitter because I have my page connected with my twitter feed) and pinterest.

For me this includes tutorials, creativity prompts and ideas, inspiration, inspiring quotes, my tutorials for sale, and other things.

2. I created a weekly chart. I have decided to post a few times a day (it may be more or less for you.) So I decided which type of thing I would post each day and I what time.

3. Each week I print the chart and then jot in ideas for each update.

4. On facebook and twitter you can schedule posts. You can use tweetdeck or hootsuite to do this. Or (this is what I do) you can schedule updates directly on your facebook page. Like I mentioned, I have my facebook page linked up to my twitter feed, so that covers my twitter feed, too.

5. Then I try to schedule as many of my updates as I can at a time. I try to at least do a few days ahead so I don't have to worry about it. Sometimes that's not possible because blog posts take a lot more time than a simple facebook update, but I try my best most weeks.

6. At least once a day I check in with facebook and twitter to see who has commented or tweeted me. Even though you're scheduling your posts, social media is actually SOCIAL, so you definitely need to interact and check in.

7. You can't schedule pins, so I also check in most days at Pinterest to pin, repin and comment on pins.

Doing like tasks at one time saves you time because it takes time when you transition from one task to the next.

How to Wirte Your Business Plan and Use it, too!

I've been in business for a number of years. It really started out as a hobby. I sold my bath and body products and jewelry on eBay. It was fun and I was happy with the extra money. Then I started treating it more like a business with things like business cards and marketing. (I was always meticulous about record keeping, luckily.)

Then I realized that I should write a business plan. I wrote it, print it and put it away never to look at it again.

Every once in a while I would look at it and make adjustments. Then put it away again.

Then one year I had the idea to make it into a scrapbook. Each page I made a different sections. I made a paper bag scrapbook, so there were plenty of pockets to put stuff in.

And the best part? I actually USED my business plan. I looked at it frequently and used it. And really, a business plan should be a useful and valuable asset for your business. You take the time to think about your business and really flesh it out, why would you want to put it away and not use it again.

I have a great eWorkshop to teach you how to make a great Business Plan Scrapbook, which includes worksheets to help you write your business plan and then videos to show you how to make the scrapbook itself. Even if you don't want to make a business plan scrapbook, try making a business plan that you will want to use. (Note: If you are writing a business plan for bank loans or government grants, you really should follow their format, not a scrapbook!)

F.A.Q.s

Will you tell me how to legally start a business?
No. I'm not an attorney so I really can't do that. What I do is give you a list of things to check out in your municipality and/or state so you know what you should be finding out.

Will you teach me how to use my camera?

No, but I will give you tips for setting up a photography shoot for selling online and what types of photos to take.

Will my product sell?

I definitely can't tell you that. Sometimes you don't know until you try, really. Business Basics For Beginners gives you inexpensive ways to get started, so it's a not a big financial risk. If you're already making something, why not give it a try?

Does this workbook teach me how to use WordPress?

No, but I do give you the information you'll need to decide whether it's right for you. I'm not an expert at WordPress (even though this site is a WordPress site) and I wouldn't want to steer you the wrong way. I do give you the steps to get started on blogger.
