Learn How One Social Media Professional Finds Success With Twitter
I have always been, and will probably always be a huge supporter, and user of Twitter. I’ve had an account since its early days…you know, the days where there was so little happening that the main page was a live feed of the stream. I remember that after 10pm Central the newsfeed would primarily be in languages I am unfamiliar with. I also remember that people would talk…yes I do mean REAL conversations. Over the years I’ve experienced great success with Twitter, not just for my own personal account, but also for clients. So many ask how, and while the tips are so basic, it’s truly about the follow through.
I never stop building my community – Follow, follow, follow. I use Tweepi to key into conversations that are currently happening as well as to find very targeted accounts that I’m … Read More »
The Many Places We Have Done Social
One of the best things about working in the world of social media is that you are able to take your job literally anywhere there is a data cell service or wi-fi/Internet. It’s a perk that was never even considered when I first got started doing social things for clients and now I couldn’t imagine life being confined to one particular location with only a specific number of days allowed to travel/vacation.
Here’s a bunch of pictures taken throughout the years of the many different “offices” we’ve enjoyed working in.
I’ve worked from bed, sick, with this guy.
I’ve updated client accounts on HubSpot from a rest stop in southern Missouri.
I’ve worked from my phone, Tweeting from client accounts from Lake Carlyle in Illinois.
I’ve worked from friends houses…many times.
From airplanes going to all sorts … Read More »
2016 Brings New Talent To KiMedia Strategies
If anyone would have told me that I would be adding anyone to the KiMedia Strategies team this month, I would probably laugh. I felt the same way the day I incorporated KiMedia Strategies. I never once thought of myself as a future business owner growing up. My family never talked about going into business for myself, and no school ever once mentioned the word entrepreneurship. Everything each day is a new, exciting experience…especially days like today when I get to announce that KiMedia Strategies has decided to expand and bring on board the very talented Tara Anderson as Director of Digital Creativity.
Tara and I have known one another going on two years and her passion for smart, innovative, trendy, and creative social media is something I appreciate. When I realized that I was getting too busy I knew I needed to do one … Read More »

Your Like & Share Facebook Contest Won’t Work
All too often I see people sharing pictures on Facebook with the original message being “Like and Share for your chance to win….” Sounds perfectly easy, but it actually isn’t. Requiring anyone to share the post in exchange for an entry doesn’t always work. With so many customizable privacy settings you’re never going to see everyone who shared the post making those posts hidden and unknown. Not very fair to the clueless fans that just shared your post and promoted your page. Liking a post as an entry to win is OK, but still not the best option because when you’re announcing the winner you’re not able to tag them so they will not be alerted to their winning unless they are watching your page like a hawk.

10 Quick and Dirty Social Media Tips
Here are 10 social media tips that are easy enough for anyone to immediately implement into their overall social media strategy.
Be authentic – stop trying to be someone or something that you’re not.
Be consistent – a Pin on Monday followed up by a Tweet on Saturday isn’t consistent. Have a posting schedule and stick with it. For 90% of our clients we post Mon-Fri on all social media platforms, more than once typically. Some, like restaurants, get a lot of weekend love too.
Experiment – The only way you’re going to know if something is going to be successful online is to actually do it. It’s OK if the experiment is a bust, it’s easy to move on to the next idea.
Schedule – Seriously. This is the ONLY way we are able to do what we do for so many clients. … Read More »
Using Quora Questions To Create Engaging Blog Content
Quora is seriously a wealth of knowledge that we feel is not getting the attention it’s deserved. In case you’re wondering what Quora even is, it’s a question and answer site that has also evolved into a blogging platform allowing professionals and individuals the ability to either get answers to those burning industry questions or to answer questions showcasing your knowledge.
At KiMedia Strategies we love sharing our tips, stories and struggles because if it’s interesting or helpful to us, it must be the same for someone else so we’re giving you a tried and true strategy to take you to an entirely new level and create some real engagement with your content.
How KiMedia Strategies Uses Quora

Tools We Use To Curate Shareable Social Media Content
We use a combination of great tools to curate the best content possible for our clients. No two are the same, some are free or have freemium packages while others are so good we pay for them. Here’s a rundown of the ones we use the most in no particular order.
Manageflitter – not only is this tool a scheduler, it also suggests content based on your connections as well as allows you to pull in RSS feeds. We use this tool daily.
HootSuite – just like Manageflitter this tool’s main functionality for us is a scheduler, but they also have a “content suggestion” feature that is in beta. We use this tool daily.
Swayy.co – our absolute favorite tool for curating content as it also gives analytics on each Tweet and allows scheduling. We use this tool daily.
BuzzSumo – this is another great … Read More »
