When I started doing Social Media, I really don’t have the slightest idea about how to get started. But thanks to the availability of the internet I could get ideas what it is all about. After sometime of learning and experiencing social media networking. I want to share to those who are still just testing the world of social networking.

So here’s the Ten Tips:

1. Choose which Networks you want to spend most of your time

When you begin your social networking campaign you should decide which of the social networks are the most relevant for your purpose. There’s Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Flickr, Twitter, Ning, Digg, StumbleUpon and YouTube, just to name a few.

Of course, in order for you to make an informed decision about which networks to join you will have to do a little research. Figure out what your goals are and who will be your target audience. Read some articles and look around in different networks to see where you could best achieve your goals. Choosing the right networks is one of the most important keys to social networking success.

2. Be an active and integral part of a few large groups

Don’t spread yourself to thin when you are joining groups in social networks. Be content with the knowledge that you cannot join all of the networks on the Web or you won’t have time to use any of them to their full potential.

3. Create your profiles with character

It is extremely important to give character to your profiles because this is the first impression other members of the community will get of you. Your profile is how community members will begin to get to know you. And your online friends want to see what you look like and get to know your real details and interest.

4. Be Consistent

If you have inconsistent profiles tendency is that your online friends won’t recognize you in all of their other networks. It would be a good thing if you have a consistent profile in several networks because friends would immediately recognize you and add you to all of their networks, meaning that they will be exposed to your content through a variety of different channels.

5. Be with those who have the same interest as you.

It is important to add friends that have the same interests as you or an interest in what you are trying to promote. If you add friends that share your interests then they will not only be more likely to accept your request and add you as a friend but will also take an interest in the stories you share and what you have to say and will help you spread the word.

6. Put your Heart in it

If you are building up your social networks, even if it is just for business or promotional purposes, it is important to be personable. When you put a geniune effort into getting to know your contacts through messaging, sharing links, commenting on posts and pictures, and providing feedbacks chances are they will become familiar with you and they will more likely to check our your content and share it with their own friends.

7. Check your profiles regularly

It is important to be active regularly on all of your accounts. Each day, sign in to each of your accounts and respond to any messages or comments your friends have left you to let them know that you care.

8. Submit Quality Content

Submitting quality content when you bookmark stories and websites and post links to your social networks is really important. Make sure that you have read through the entire story and that its really worth the time of the friends you are sharing it with that you want to post under your name. The better the material that you submit, the more people will follow you and be interest in seeing what you will submit next.

9. Avoid Spamming

Don’t overload your friends with messages, links, content and comments that would make them flag you as a spammer or either remove you from their friends list. Just stick to sending relevant, quality content that your friends will get something out of.

10. Don’t Stress Yourself

Social Networking should be considered as a positive experience. After all, we are making new friends here and socializing with those who share the same interest. Getting to know your friends and interacting with them should be fun! So why don’t you enjoy yourself and at the same time build a strong network.
