Essential Tips for an Engaging STEEMIT BUSINESS PAGE!

Well, if you didn’t know it by now, you can go ahead and open up a business page here on Steemit.com!

That’s right!

HOW?

Well here are some of the services that make it possible for you to open up a second account on Steemit.com:

0.5 STEEM
& 65,000 Vests

using this link:

https://v2.steemconnect.com/accounts/create

& you can open up an account in a matter of seconds!

Then again, there are other services out there that you may want to use,

i.e.
https://rawgit.com/msg768/mysteemit/master/register.html
User for contact is @msg768
Total cost is 8 STEEM/ new account.

Have a read of this post:

https://steemit.com/anonsteem/@zeartul/need-another-steemit-account-for-your-self-or-friend-anonsteem-baby
If nothing has changed since then, the price was 10STEEM/new account.

Note: Listed prices are subject to change as per the costs involved with registering user accounts on the blockchain.

So now that we have that all sorted out, what about opening up a business page here on Steemit.

Well the page needs to tell people what your business is about, where it is and so on.

So in other words, use a letter head with a footer for all your posts.

OK, so now we have that all sorted out, what about the page?

Maybe it would be easier to state WHAT NOT TO DO:

1- Do NOT create a personal profile for your business page.
This is a social network and apply the knowledge and lessons learned elsewhere here and do not be “one of those” who has to learn the hard way.

2- Unlike some other social sites, here on Steemit you cannot assign roles to people/other users.
You are the person who has to manage the page.

So make sure that it is done properly. There is no reason why other people such as employees cannot have their own personal profiles here on Steemit and your company/business page resteems the relevant posts!

Very straight forwards and avoids those “oops I did it again” moments like of Fbook business pages where employees have posting roles!

3- Make sure your avatar/user picture is recognizable, and your page header nice and simple with a clear “visual” message, make it engaging and inviting!

4- Remember, use the experience gained from other social networks. On most business pages, photos and videos seem to work best.

So go with it, use that information to your advantage.

5- Find out what times your posts are getting the best results. This may take a little bit of time, bit at least on Steemit you won’t have any false info coming your way.

Here is a link to a post on the topic, with basic instructions and a link to the tool that shall help you with this:

6- ALWAYS use the relevant TAGs, and try to localize at least one of them. i.e. “Houston” , that way you are ensuring that the right audience comes across your pages.

Buying or selling something, then one of your tags would have to be “classifieds”

Remember, you have 5 tags that you can use, use them wisely.

7- Decide whether or not to open up a chat room for your page. If you decide to do this then ensure that you have employees who can manage this for you. Yes, in the official Steemit Chat service you can as “the owner of the chat room” assign roles to other users.
