Creating social media posts can be incredibly rewarding. Earning a like or favorite, a retweet or a new follower always makes you feel like you’ve gotten something done. But while significant social media numbers looks great on your screen, turning those numbers into real-world benefits can sometimes be tough to pull off.
Enter the Cox Business Social Ambassador program. With the Social Ambassador program, we help you figure out how to make your position in the industry work for you.
The Size of Your Following Doesn’t Matter
First of all, it’s important to know that it doesn’t take a huge following to be a great Social Ambassador. More important than any follower or sharing metrics is that you are a trusted voice in your social community, regardless of size.
How do you build trust and become the kind of personality that we’re looking for? Trust comes down to a combination of factors. Remember that it’s called social media. One of the biggest things that can build trust is those unique human-to-human interactions that can only happen when you open a direct line of communication up to anyone who wants to have a conversation. Building a community takes time, but the first step is to get people engaged, which is as simple as getting them talking.
As Entrepreneur puts it in their look at managing your social media identity, the two most important factors in building trust are being genuine and having a two-way conversation. These two go hand-in-hand. You can’t have a two-way conversation if you’re not genuine, and it’s easier to be genuine in actual human-to-human interactions, as opposed to broadcasting your message out into the void.
So what’s the takeaway? Start conversations and throw the ball over to your followers, instead of spending all of your time talking about yourself. It doesn’t work at parties, and it definitely doesn’t work on social media. Instead, build trust by having actual interactions.
