I set up accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Linked In, MySpace, Plaxo and others. The bigger sites have more detailed profiles with pictures, video, and other information based on your set up questionnaire. Profiles include bio, description, pictures, website links and other details.

Social Networks That Can Be Included in This Plan

Twitter – Facebook – GTalk Status – Plurk – MySpace – LinkedIn – Tumblr – Identi.ca – Brightkite – FriendFeed – Blogger – Plaxo Pulse – LiveJournal – Bebo – hi5 – Mashable – kwippy – Xanga – WordPress.com – Rejaw – Delicious – Friendster – Yahoo – Koornk – Diigo – Multiply Flickr – Utterli – imeem – seesmic and more

Set up a basic account on other networks – all good exposure. The list above is extensive and posting “updates” to each is automated when set up in complete.

Set up automation – this lets you enter a short post (update) and submit to 30-40 sites at once. This is free now and we can post blog information through this service. Each time something new is added to a blog – it is “blasted” to your social sites automatically including a link back to your blog. This works with the sites listed above and they add new sites from time to time.

Once your automation is ready – we set up an email address – basically you send one short email and an update is sent to each of your accounts through this site. This is used to announce blog posts, any other events or information that you want to announce to people.

Update Examples: A couple of examples of something that can be circulated to your contacts.

“FREE Teleseminar with xxxxxxxxxxx – Wed at 7 pm PST – www.website.com”

“New Release from Author – For more details, visit www.authorwebsite.com”

To make these sites work well you need friends or followers. These connections make your social presence more effective. Friends see the information posted on your profiles. For example – some clients have over 10,000 people with access to the information posted for them (so far).

We can maintain all emails generated by these sites. Important emails – such as interview and media requests are forwarded to you. You have log in information to access this account.

This initial set up takes 1 month to complete all profiles with full information. We set up the 30-40 sites affiliated with this automation and several other useful sites. If you choose to extend this service, these profiles can be maintained and we can build up your friends and followers to expand your social reach.

This automation is to help you have a more consistent and active presence, however you still need some regular personal involvement on social networks. This will enable you to be in touch on a larger scale than you can do by visiting individual social sites to post updates.

We can add setup and establishment or expansion of a YouTube channel where your videos can be uploaded. We upload your videos to 10-20 video sharing sites including some of your social media profiles. We offer a service that expands your friends and subscribers using your keywords.

These are the most popular packages, but we can compile a proposal for smaller packages to suit most budgets. Details for smaller packages are coming soon. If you are interested in a smaller package – contact nikki @ nikkileigh.com to discuss the options.
