One of my clients presented me with a social marketing schedule. I think it is a wonderful idea if you are planning on being involved within social media. So I wanted to take the opportunity to summary the ideas and share them with you…
Check replies from current followers, review direct messages you received since you last checked, and respond to each one.
Search on http://followontwitterlists.com to find people that you want to follow and add them. Tweet at least twice daily and remember to try to do them live and not from TweetLater. **I do suggest tweeting with TweetLater (which is now SocialOomph – because you has time to remember to tweet when you are booked solid with conference calls, getting your next info-product done, etc.)
Find five things worth re-tweeting in your general feed and share with others.
Reply to your followers with a complete response not just a word or two word answer.
Want to automatically follow others back – you can use SocialToo.
Approach online business partners and retweet each other.
Post a status message daily, something engaging and interesting.
Comment on other people’s status messages or updates.
Create a fan page to help promote a business, webinar, teleseminar or teleclass.
Is your profile picture current? If not, update it.
Check your wall for any comments that you should comment back on.
Add Facebook widgets to your Homepage.
If you belong to groups or fan pages, leave a comment or two.
Article Marketing
Add all completed articles into EzineArticles.com and save them as a draft. You can then go in every 2 days or so and submit the article so you have one posted about every 2 days.
Add your articles into SelfGrowth.com.
Submit your articles to GoArticles.com.
When writing your next article(s), remember to put your reader’s major benefit in the title of your article(s).
Looking for more directories? After you write the article you can then go to Google and search for more sites, “article submission”.
Write an article for a magazine or blog with your web address in the resource box.

If you have a few extra minutes, read through some blogs – (from STACI: try to find some blogs that are in your niche and even direct competition with you) and read a post or two and comment back.
Visit your blog and review what comments have been left and respond.
Use OnlyWire.com to bookmark your blog posts.
