MAKE A PLAN

Before developing a social media presence, ask yourself: What is my ultimate goal for using social media? Where and who is my target audience? Where should I promote products and services?

If potential customers seem to be connecting on Facebook, create a Facebook account
If you want to network with professionals in business associations, join LinkedIn
If your potential customers are ones that might be on the road frequently, create a Twitter to offer instantaneous information
If you have videos about products and services to offer, create a YouTube account
