Why Building A Community on Social Media Is Essential

There’s a lot of noise on social media these days and to stand out you must connect, engage, and build a community. Marketing on social media has gone beyond just delivering your products and services to consumers. If you are trying to build your business on social media, you must create connections and experiences to build long term brand loyalty.

Here, we explore why social media community building is so important, what it looks like, and how to build your own.

WHAT ARE SOCIAL MEDIA COMMUNITIES?

Social media communities are groups of people who feel connected to your brand, which eventually leads to them becoming advocates for your brand.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BUILD A COMMUNITY?

80% of brands say that their community-building efforts have resulted in increased traffic. The time invested in fostering a quality social media community is very worthwhile. It creates advocates for your brand which in turn reduces the cost of your marketing efforts.

Networking and Getting Your House in Order for the New Year Success!

Welcome to the New Year w/ AIMC Business Solutions & Mass Professional Networking.

I wanted to provide three tips to get you started this year to get your house in order and be successful networking and building your business/career:

- Social Media Review - The first thing is to review all of your social media profiles, website, business listings and make sure your information is up-to-date. Make sure your Linkedin profile has an updated picture and timeline. Your address is accurate on your website etc. People are watching you and evaluating if they like to work with you.

- Networking Strategy - Build a networking event strategy by understanding what events you like to attend. I always say go where your future clients are or go where you are going to learn your trade. The key is building professional relationships with the right people. Quality of your connections versus quantity is key.

- Mindset Shift - The most important tip! Change your mindset when attending events with the intent of helping others whether it is through your own expertise of someone from your network. The last thing people want to hear is "Get me a job" or "Buy my product". Ask questions, summarize and offer a solution!

As promised, here is a link to our Mass Professional Networking page with an Event Listing - http://www.aimcbizsolutions.com/massprofessionalnetworking. We hope to see you soon at an event!

The Importance of Water and Movement In The Winter

We are officially in the Winter Solstice today so the days will actually start getting longer from today onward. With the colder months, we tend to hibernate more and think we don't need to drink more water since the perception is that if you sweat like in the summer, you need to replenish with water.

The fact is even when you're not sweating, you lose water through the skin, and the drier air from indoor heating can cause you to become dehydrated without even noticing. A lack of water not only results in dehydration but can increase your risk of kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and constipation. In the case of movement, working out in cold weather can help improve your cardiovascular health, boost your immune system, and increase calorie burn. It also helps combat winter blues and keeps you fit and active during the colder months. Sounds good? So, move it and drink it, water that is.

Jim Rohn once said, "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with." 

The people we spend time with influence us more than we realize. Look at your closest friends and family. Do they uplift and inspire you, or do they bring you down? Our social circle plays a vital role in our personal growth. 

When we surround ourselves with positive, driven individuals, their energy and enthusiasm become contagious. They push us to reach for our dreams and believe in our abilities. 

"Surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you." - Roy Bennett 

 The same applies to your health & wellness. If you hang out with a bunch of athletes, chances are you will strive to be as fit as an athlete. If you hang out with a couch potato, you will become a couch potato. You live one life, so live it surrounding yourself with the right people. Be a constant learner and you will see results!

You Are The Sum of the Five People You Hang With The Most

Are you the Part Time Marketer for Your Small Business?

Is the time that you spend marketing your business inconsistent. Do you post once in a while, maybe send an email campaign sporadically, and hope for results?

Do you think marketing takes time away from your core business, you know the thing you are good at?

Fact - About 47% of small business owners do all of their own marketing. Small business owners spend 20 hours a week on marketing. 60% of small businesses use digital marketing to attract customers and sales.

Reality - You need to be consistent to get great results. If your connections and/or potential prospects, continue to receive consistent information from you, they may reach out. Also, on average, you should only be spending around 2%-5% of your revenue on marketing.

Reality - A minimum of THREE exposures is required before consumers even consider a product or service. That doesn't necessarily mean they will buy it after three; that means they will CONSIDER the product! An ad frequency between four to 12 is optimal.

Tips - What you can do to streamline your marketing:

- Build a great website.

- Online advertising.

- Search engine optimization.

- Content marketing.

- Use social networks.

- Share video content online.

- Online advertising.

- Encourage customer reviews.

Next steps - Review how many hours a week you spend on marketing, is it effective, and is the cost less than 5% of your revenue. If you need help, contact us - http://www.aimcbizsolutions.com

Walking is a great way to improve or maintain your overall health. Just 30 minutes every day can increase cardiovascular fitness, strengthen bones, reduce excess body fat, and boost muscle power and endurance.

It can also reduce your risk of developing conditions such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some cancers. Unlike some other forms of exercise, walking is free and doesn’t require any special equipment or training. Physical activity does not have to be vigorous or done for long periods in order to improve your health. Walking is low impact, requires minimal equipment, can be done at any time of day and can be performed at your own pace. You can get out and walk without worrying about the risks associated with some more vigorous forms of exercise. What are the health benefits of walking?

• Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness.
• Reduced risk of heart disease and stroke.
• Improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes.
• Stronger bones and improved balance.

So, get out there and take a walk! More Fitness Tips here - https://www.gotrim.com/allinmycart/resources/fitness/?
