Over the past 6 weeks I have been building up my client base.
I have chosen very small businesses to set up their social media on Facebook and blog, very few are on Twitter as most find that Twitter has to be updated daily and checked quite frequently.
I believe that starting social media using a Facebook business page and Blogger blog and building up a brand, profile and following will point clients in the right direction and a Twitter account will come later, once everything falls into place.
Here's a list of people I work for:
http://anniesfineceramics.blogspot.com - Annie's Fine Ceramics
http://leighcooks.blogspot.com - Leigh Cooks
http://justorganics.blogspot.com - Just Organics
http://downtoearthgardensaus.blogspot.com/ - Down To Earth Gardens
http://print35.blogspot.com - Print 35
http://safariartaus.blogspot.com/ - Safari Art
http://hireabuilder.blogspot.com - Hire A Builder
http://yogaforyouaus.blogspot.com/ - Yoga For You
http://jewishcarensw.blogspot.com/ - Jewish Care
And Performance Learning which I helped set up on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sydney-Australia/Performance-Learning/145801325433178
Although most of my clients have only been up and running for a few weeks; it has been fantastic working with such a diverse group of people who are all so passionate about their businesses and love what they do.
Most are green, eco friendly, help their communities and love the work they do. And I believe that having and building up their social media, following, brand and business will benefit them all in the long run.
I certainly have learnt so much in the past 6 weeks; work with people you love, stay connected with each other, provide advice, find networking events for them to attend, help them build up a base and the rest in time; will come.
