Personal insights: My cousin and I have decided to take a leap into developing an online presence and innovating a way forward for our own business - and what follows is our FIRST STAGE
The Key Outcome: Set the platform in place
How: Strategy for stage one
- Establish a presence with Social Media Sites including: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, U-Stream, Skype, SWOM, & BLOGS
- Set up a specific WEBSITE and establish Page Ranking and Authority
- Secure a specific DOMAIN
- Develop a professional PROFILE: a short bio for sites such as Twitter and a Long bio for sites such as our website and LinkedIn
- construct a SPLASH page to provide quick information re: service/product
- BACKLINKING - established using BLOGS, social bookmarking sites (Technorati, DIGG, Propellor etc), videos, articles, and from social media sites (FB, Twitter etc)
