Definition of ‘social’ media

“Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to transform broadcast media monologues (one to many) into social media dialogues (many to many).” Wikipedia

Quantity vs. quality

“I say quality reigns supreme. The fact is effective social networking and community building is more about building meaningful, useful conversations and relationships with those that are interested in what you have to offer or say. It’s not a get rich quick scheme. It takes time, persistence, knowledge and dedication to building these communities up, and the rewards can be tremendous.”

Jason Yormark, Social Media Today

Social Media is About ROI!The relationship is apparent and significant: socially engaged companies are in fact more financially successful. So now we know it pays to be social, but it is important to note that by “social,” we’re talking about deep engagement, not merely having a presence. (Altimiter ENGAGEMENTdb study)

You have to be fascinating!

• The purpose of social media is “to establish yourself as a fascinating subject-matter expert.”

• “It’s all about finding good stories, videos, and blog posts about your subject and providing links to these sources.”

• “The test for your social media efforts is whether people find what you post so fascinating that they retweet it.”Guy Kawasaki

Example

“For example, if you own a restaurant, then you could post a link to The Second Annual New York Foodie Photo Scavenger Hunt, Cilantro Haters, It’s Not Your Fault, and Check It Out: Get Your Groceries At The Library. Do this for a few months, and people will recognize you as a food expert. And guess what? They’ll come eat at your restaurant.”

Hubspot says…“Each thoughtful post on your blog is a public demonstration of your thought leadership, personal integrity, humor, and professional insights. You don’t have to refute one of Einstein’s theories to get respect.”

You probably already write blog articles, you just don’t call them that.”
