With all the hype this year about social media….I have one question for those that are using it. Are you getting clients from it? Is it worth it?
For me, I have made many clients from LinkedIn. I have also put in 1000’s of hours (or so it seems haha!) into networking/marketing and branding my business on that site. I started using it last spring as a marketing tool and after one year, I have had 32 clients from Linkedin and many of those folks have referred to me off site clients.
As far as Facebook, I have had no clients yet from it. I have also not put in a ton of time into using it for business purposes. I mostly use it for personal fun. I also have a business profile and a personal profile and tend to not give my business profile much attention. I just love it for what it is! FUN!
Twitter. I’m just now figuring out how to get tweetin’. I am following 1426 people and have 822 followers. As I’m just getting into it and learning how to tweet my tips and tricks effectively…I have no stats yet.
Other things…I also do Word Press and am doing quite well with that. No clients yet…but I’m getting alot of hit and comments from other folks in the Word Press community. It’s a fun application actually. I enjoy using it.
Other things than those? I’m really not doing much else. I’m probably missing the boat on some other hot items, but I will figure those out later:)
I was driving to work this morning and wondering about all the social media and how many folks are getting clients or just using it for brand recognition?
