You’ve given it some thought and done your due diligence in formulating a strategy, determining goals and identifying metrics for your social media program; now you’re ready to get started. The tactical side of implementing your program requires a unique blend of technological intelligence, communications know-how, patience and tenacity.

While jumping in at first can seem exciting and fast-paced, keep in mind that you’re not going to start seeing results immediately, and having a long-term outlook is important. Getting started on implementation requires a deliberate and measured plan.

To help you find structure during the early stages of your tactical implementation phase, we’ve created a simple four-step process to guide you through.

The program includes:

1. Joining the conversation: Setting up a successful presence on social media platforms
2. Adding to the conversation: Deciding what to say, when to say it and how to say it
3. Monitoring the conversation: Determining your measurement tools and how to use them
4. Maintaining the conversation: Building a program for continued success

Following these easy steps will take the mystery out of starting your work in the social media world for the first time, and will jump-start your program and give you the momentum you need to start seeing success from your program as early as possible. These steps can also be repeated each time you launch a new social media platform as your program expands.
