Things to remember: » No privacy - even “private” accounts can have a
snapshot taken » You can’t delete anything, even if it looks like
you can » Use the grandma/boss rule when posting » Outside of privacy concerns, remember you’re
creating an online portfolio of who you are with each post. Be mindful and ask yourself, “is this awesome?” before clicking “send” or “publish”
» Abbreviations are sometimes okay if necessary on social media (Twitter) - NEVER OK in emails, letters, formal writing, etc.
» Be “profersonal”
Best Practices

{ Make Your LinkedIn Profile Rock }
It’s Facebook with ties.
![Page 9: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Say it with me:
Your LinkedIn profile should NOT be a copy of
your resume.
![Page 10: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Think of it more like a cover letter, or an elevator pitch…
![Page 11: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
It’s the story of your professional journey…
![Page 12: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
with plenty of personality

…and a healthy dose of BRAGGING.
![Page 14: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This is still a social site, albeit a professional one!
![Page 15: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

My 3 Ultimate Rules for #Winning at LinkedIn 1. Be interesting
Don’t be another dry, boring resume. Put some paint on your profile’s proverbial walls – have some fun with it and show the world what makes you YOU.
2. Use in tandem with Twitter
Connect via LinkedIn with a personalized note, and then continue the ongoing conversation on Twitter to build the relationship. Somewhat sneaky, yet effective.
3. Help others
Karma is without a doubt the most powerful tool you have when it comes to creating job, client, and other opportunities. Go out of your way to help other people, and it WILL come back to you tenfold.

LinkedIn is the gateway network to building a relationship with the
people and companies you want to know.

{ Twitter }
![Page 26: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rocking Twi"er
• Get a great handle; either your name or your brand’s. !is is not your AIM username.
• No protected accounts! #DoingItWrong
• !is is the easiest way to instantly connect with companies and people who can help you get the job – be available (and appropriate)
• Power DMs - Always personalize DMs for new followers who you want to remember you, even if the personalization is trivial
![Page 27: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Twitter is not a place for the boring. Another stale, vanilla profile won’t make any noise. The best strategy
you can employ on Twitter?
BE INTERESTING.
![Page 28: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Okay, Fine… But HOW to Be Interesting?
• Don’t share anything without adding value to it
• Posting often isn’t enough – you can’t just make noise. Offer insight, opinions, humor – and be human (while still being professional)
• Keep it media rich. (If content is king, pictures + video are the crown)
• Find and attend events, as well as creating other ways to take the online, offline. Nothing a computer can do takes the place of face-‐to-‐face connections!
![Page 29: Professionally Social - Marketing Camp SF 2013](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060203/559e479d1a28abf5728b45ea/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Seriously Effective Strategies
• Be HUMAN. Have a personality – a big one! • 80/20 rule • Build QUALITY followers, not quantity
• Follow back (real people, not spammers)
• Live tweet events for more exposure and to establish yourself in the industry/community
• Have a presence in industry Twi"er chats (see a massive list of them here)
• KISS, with everything you do (and short!) Simple + short = easier to share

SnapBird.org – Free A way to search for certain words or hashtags tweets older than 10 days. Doesn’t always work perfectly, but it’s free, and it’s saved me more than once when I needed to find a particular tweet but couldn’t for the life of me remember who sent it.
