Socialmedia is so pervasive in today’s world that every entrepreneur believes instinctively that they know how to use it for their startup. Many soon find that what you do in a personal context doesn’t necessarily translate to your business, and measuring business value is quite different from measuring personal satisfaction.

The best part of being an entrepreneur is having the independence to make your own decisions, the flexibility for a better work/life balance, and personal satisfaction from driving change. You have tried all the popular initiatives and quick-fix remedies, including socialmedia, search engine optimization, and content marketing.
And we all know Facebook didn’t invent socialmedia. Certainly I’m not recommending just one more Facebook, with a couple of features from Twitter, since socialmedia has an unlimited potential for innovation. Timing is critical, as well as focus on marketing and customer satisfaction.
Many startups and mature businesses have not yet accepted the fact that customer satisfaction and loyalty in this “always connected” age are about more than product and service quality. But to engender loyalty, you have to be delivering a good experience and keeping satisfaction high. Customer upsell: Sell more to existing customers.
Proof of any business model starts with a finished product or solution, sold to a new customer for full price, with high satisfaction for the value received. Decide early where and when money will come from, set some milestones and metrics, and work to a plan, or be caught short. Start selling it before you build it.

It’s important to define your growth strategy, document it, communicate it to your team, and align metrics and employee rewards to target goals. Today’s customers quickly sense the growing momentum of specific businesses, or lack of it, via socialmedia, online reviews, and texting with friends, and change their habits accordingly.
For your own happiness and satisfaction, I recommend you start instead working from that higher purpose and passion. All too often, business owners find the financial returns alone do not provide the long-term satisfaction and success they assumed would come with all the hard work and challenges that come with every business, large or small.
The cost of entry has never been lower, with new tools to create your own website , and free socialmedia to get your message out everywhere. Make sure the name and trademarks you want are available, as well as web site address, socialmedia tags, and any other intellectual property.
In this age of instant and global communication via socialmedia and the Internet, I see more and more evidence that delighted customers should be your top priority. Use metrics to assess needs and growth economics. A popular set of metrics for customer views is the New Promoter System ( NPS ), available from Bain & Company.
Generalized email blasts and socialmedia ads may be great for finding interest in your services, but these are not enough to close and maintain new clients. Just like consumers give top priority to peer feedback and experiences on socialmedia or Yelp, you need to incent your clients to tell others about you and become your advocate.
With Generative AI and LLMs, new avenues for improving operational efficiency and user satisfaction are emerging every day. This category encompasses a vast array of content, from emails and text documents to socialmedia posts. Unstructured Data, as the name suggests, lacks a clear structure. Strive for a balanced outcome.

Certainly, I’m not recommending just one more Facebook, with a couple of features from Twitter, since socialmedia has an unlimited potential for innovation. The auto industry and others have used this model for generations, so business processes and metrics for innovation are well documented.

In addition to legal and local requirements, you need a business name that is available as a website domain name, and a user name on key socialmedia channels, including Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. All marketing costs money, including viral marketing, search engine optimization, click-through, and socialmedia support.
Use socialmedia for more visibility. Adopt a project-based revenue model with metrics. It also highlights all aspects of required customer service, satisfaction, testimonials, and referrals to friends in the business. Be responsive to all modes of modern communication. Adapt your style to the new business work models.
Most people have heard of Foursquare for local nightlife and Airbnb for rooms, but other nationally recognized sources for local services are still hard to find, including socialmedia, local news, advertising, and event calendars. Local businesses expect proof of value, not promises.
