Effectively Using Social Media ?

on Truth About Trucking 'LIVE' Blog Radio

In this exciting, innovative and progressive age of technology, social media has become a primary source of interactive dialogue for both business and personal strategies.  The ability to connect and communicate around the globe within seconds is nothing short of  'awesome'.

But one industry that is still lagging behind in effectively using social media is, you guessed it....the trucking industry.  Although the number of users and followers are staggering, only 44% of trucking companies report that they are using any form of social media with their business strategies.  That means that less than half of the reported 100,000 (all shapes and sizes) trucking companies are using Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and/or others.

Currently:

• Facebook has more than 750 millions users
• Twitter has more than 300 million users
• LinkedIn has over 1 million users
• YouTube has over 2 billion views per day

Social media is used for a variety of reasons including spreading messages virally throughout the Internet to reach thousands, and sometimes millions of friends, business contacts, and potential prospects-in short, networking far and wide.

Those messages differ, depending on the source.  Individuals with blogs and websites have ideas, information and plans they want to share, but:

• how do you get people to read your message?
• how do you become known?
• how do you monetize your blog? 

Companies, although realizing the value of social media, are confused on how to:

• be most effective
• maximize their full potential
• not do more harm than good

There is no doubt that social media is and will continue to be a vital medium for the trucking industry.  Truth About Trucking Blog Radio with Allen and Donna Smith and special guest Landon Middleton, will share with everyone how we can all use it to the best of our ability and most effectively on Thursday, August 25th at 7 PM, EST.
