A SYSTEM TO HELP YOU USE SOCIAL MEDIA
You have spent a lot of time, and perhaps a lot of money, developing your social media profiles. However, you may not be protecting, or even using it, the way you should be.
This isn't just going to show you how to use your profile to market yourself (or your company), though it will contain that information. This guide will also walk you through:
- Keeping Your Account Secure
- Maintaining Your Account
- Ensuring That Your Information is Accurate
- Ensuring That Your Privacy Settings are Set Properly
- Automating Publishing
- Integrating Social Media Sites
The bottom line: this will save you from a lot of unnecessary frustration!
What I am launching here is a way to share my knowledge of these powerful platforms - everything I know - every trick, every work around, every protective measure - in one place so that members can get the most out of them.
What I'll be building is a small network of help. The initial "front end" will be a PDF that covers everything in an "outline" fashion. Behind it will be a membership site with videos and other graphic media to further assist everyone in using this platform to its fullest.
What We Need & What You Get
My goal is to make this an ongoing, living, breathing system that keeps up with the latest changes on all the major social media sites that have a business focus, both technically and in terms of policy and other aspects.
The funding will pay for "the team", which will initially consist of myself and at least a half dozen others. The initial funds will be used for:
- Development of the Initial PDF
- Development of the Initial Membership Site
- Development of API structures that will interface directly with the sites.
As time goes one, we'll be updating every aspect of the site so that when you need something fixed on LinkedIn, we'll be able to help you faster and in a much more comprehensive way than even their own internal staff would be able to do.
The Impact
There are literally billions of registered members on the major business sites. Only a small fraction of those members really use the platforms to their full potential, and only a small fraction of those users really understand everything that goes on behind the scenes
Other Ways You Can Help
You may not think this is necessary for you at this point in time. That's OK! Ill bet that some of your connections and followers, however, might need this. If you would be willing to share, we would absolutely appreciate it.
THE PLAN
Phase 1: LinkedIn
Launching in September 2018, this phase will focus on providing the initial PDF structure and back-end membership site for use with LinkedIn. The initial version will be based on what can be done through the "Free" version of the LinkedIn account. This will then be enhanced (available in November 2018) to include other features available to premium subscribers.
Phases 2 - 4: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Pinterest, Instagram, Vimeo
Launching in January 2019, this phase will add other sites, including but not limited to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and Vimeo. There will be no additional charges or fees for these additional platforms.
Phase 5: Integration
Knowing how to use each platform is important - knowing how to integrate them is the key to productivity. The system will be enhanced over time to include the integration of these platforms with each other and with 3rd party systems such as IFTTT, Delivr.it, Scoop.it, and so forth. The system will continue to be enhanced as new platforms and new 3rd party integration services are introduced.
PERKS
The initial perks are very simple - up front discounts for those who jump in early. Our goal is to keep this as affordable as possible for as many people as possible. Even if we start to add features like "live one on one assistance", I do not expect the fees to rise. In fact, if we are able to get enough folks on board up front, the "retail" prices may end up being lower than we are currently estimating.
