Do You Have A Social Media Model ?


How do you grow your brand with the new kid on the block Social Media? You start by learning the different ways you can use it. Start by using one method at a time one step at a time. Then go on to another method. Through actual posting you will experience and find the best methods for you or your company. You will become aware of the best times to post, which tool is best for what you want to do and learn how to combine several methods and tools like Hoot suite, Smart phones and others to save time and money in posting.

Beginner myself and having  a need to get more exposure for my little shop on line I began to study other businesses on line posting Face book, Twitter, Linked In, Google + and many more. I read many blogs on” how to build” your brand. One Business I found quite interesting and started following as it started out its venture in exploring and building its brand is the National Pro Fast pitch Women’s Softball League. The interest was there because I love Women’s Fastpitch Softball, I support women in business, and I noticed a remarkable increase in their exposure and opportunities. Everyone has a role model.

National Pro Fastpitch Women’s Softball League is on its way to becoming a household word. You can see the name popping up on social media and the reason for this is all the hard work of the NPF Office. Through research and a lot of hard work the NPF Brings It! These are the reasons:

The NPF Televised Draft show has been televised from Music City Hall of Fame Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, headquarters for NPF. The show is the actual draft of players through each round by the Team Owners.  This is a great way to watch in person or on Television

 A new path to reach an audience is the new “Throw-in’ Down” Radio Talk Show. It is a very interesting and fun show with interviews of team owners, coaches, and players. Then too, an occasional visit by the Commissioner herself with updates on league news and happenings. Fans can participate by calling in or tweeting their questions for each guest.  But what makes it special is the host of the talk show Barb Jordan who is a Color Analyst for several TV Networks and now adding CBS Sports Network to resume. Barbara is the Vice President of Club K

Many action pictures of plays made during the games and players involved in signature signings after the games are available to post through Instagram which is another tool at NPF’s hand is making videos of various subjects the Commissioner wants to communicate to the them
