Trust for most people is built and maintained via online interactions with their peers. For some people, this may seem inaccurate, but with the rise of “fake news,” big media is losing the trust of its users.
To compensate for this loss of trust in big media, users are turning to each other. Peer to peer influence is highly trusted. That’s where reviews come in. Users leave first-hand reviews online rating your business with 1-5 stars to show their friends and followers which businesses are trustworthy.
If you have a business page on Facebook, you know all about reviews. These reviews may seem trivial to some, but they can play a large part in the reputation of your business online and offline.
If someone rates your business poorly, even without a genuine reason, their peers will see and trust that review. If your brother, best friend, sister-in-law, or even cousin left a poor review of a restaurant saying the waiter was rude, would you go to that restaurant or keep your distance?
Job seekers have to be very careful with how they portray themselves on social media. You may not believe it, but your social media can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for employers.
Online presence, or lack thereof, can make or break your job application. Whether you believe it or not, employers check your social media before making hiring decisions. They use your social media to verify the information on your resume.
Employers also use your social media to check for personality and other red flags that might make you a bad fit for their work environment. In order to make yourself an appealing applicant, and to avoid putting up any red flags, use these 5 social media tips for getting hired.
Social Media is more than just a way to keep in contact with your Great Aunt Lil living in Florida. Social Media is an excellent opportunity for networking, advertising your business, saving memories, and, of course, laughing after you’ve had a bad day.

Your story…
You are a small business trying to stand out in a sea of other small and large businesses. You need to convince your potential customer to choose you over your competitor. How do you do that?
You have a beautiful website, advertisement, blog post, or social media post, but it’s missing something. If you don’t have this one thing, you might not be making the most out of it.
Your users come to the site, they look at the home page, and then they leave. They go to the product page, but they never buy. They look at your ad, but you never get any calls. What makes a user do something? How do you get them to do what you want?
Are you getting the most out of your social media accounts? Social media is the perfect place to connect with past customers and convert potential customers into sales. Not leveraging Facebook means losing out on the easiest and cheapest marketing solution available.
