Do you have questions about social media for your dance studio? Do you ever wish that you could wave a magic wand, and have a little fairy magically appear on your shoulder to answer all of your social media questions in a flash, without you having to do any work?

Well, I’m no fairy (although people have told me before that I look like a doll…go figure…:), but I can definitely help you.

I’ve spent the entire Summer offering you what I believe to be the most important social media marketing success tips for your dance studio. I’ve also given a ton of reasons why your dance studio needs social media, and of course shared with you some real-life social media success stories from other dance studio owners just like you, to show you just how beneficial social media can be for your dance studio.

We’ve covered a lot of ground thus far, and now I’ve created an online social media success resource center especially to offer you all of the social media  resources you need for your dance studio. I’ve also shared with you some common mistakes that dance studio owners make in social media, and how you can avoid them.

But there are always more, unique ways, for you to use social media to tap into your customers’ emotional side, and showcase what your dance studio has to offer, without breaking your budget.

Although I’ve addressed a lot of your questions during this challenge, I know that you have lots more, and you may not know where to go to get answers. Well, you’ve come to the right place.

I’d love to hear all of the social media questions that you have for your dance studio, so that I can answer them, and help you in any every way possible.

Do you have questions about Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, or Linkedin? Do you need help adding a particular App to your dance studio’s Facebook fan page? Not sure what to tweet about on Twitter?

I’m here to answer your questions, so please post your question in the comment section below this article, or on our Facebook fan page wall, and I will be happy to help you! Don’t let lack of knowledge prevent your dance studio from reaping the rewards of social media! Get your questions answered today! I’ll be here waiting for your questions.

This is Day 84 in our 90-Day Social Media Success Challenge for Dance Studios, and time for our weekly recap. This week we explored proper social media etiquette for dance studios, along with what you don’t need to know about social media, the final installment of our dance studio social media success story series, and of course, the best of twitter series.

Today is Day 83 in our 90-Day Social Media Success Challenge for Dance Studios. Today I’d like to paint a little picture for you that will explain why sometimes, less knowledge is more, when it comes to social media for your dance studio.

Imagine that your in-laws are coming into to town to visit, and you know that they love Thai food. You want to take them to a few of the best Thai restaurants while they’re in town visiting. You reach out to your good friend, “the foodie” via e-mail, to inquire about which Thai restaurants he would recommend. He e-mails you back with a list of 50 Thai restaurants in your local area. Was that helpful to you?

Imagine, you have a new customer at your dance studio, who wants to sign his daughter up for dance classes. He asks you what classes you’d recommend for his daughter who is 6 yrs old, has some natural talent, is flexible, energetic, and very passionate about dance. You hand him a list of the 15 different types of dance classes you offer at your dance studio, and walk away. Were you helpful to him?

I’ve personally had a very unique and interesting experience in my business of staffing dance studios. When a dance studio owner contacts my company because they need to hire a dance teacher, we don’t send them 30 teachers to meet and interview. That’s not why they contacted us. They contact us because they need someone to streamline, and give them the best of the best, without them having to choose from a ton of different candidates. One hundred percent of the time (thus far), whoever we send to them to interview, they hire. That is typically only one person.

I say all this to drive this point home. You don’t need to know everything about social media. You don’t need to know about every App that exists, every new social network, or new social bookmarking site that comes onto the scene. You don’t even need to be involved with more than three or four social media websites, for that matter. Most importantly, you definitely don’t need to pay someone to manage your social media marketing for you. You can absolutely do it yourself.

What you need to know is the basics of social media. Then streamline your efforts on a few specific sites to maximize your impact. Finally, get connected to a resource that will keep you up-to-date on only the things that are most important to your dance studio’s social media marketing plan. Anything more than that is just junk taking up space in your brain, or eating up your very valuable time everyday.

So don’t worry yourself about not knowing enough about social media. As long as you know the basics, you’re good to go. In the case of social media for your dance studio, less is more.
