What is Social Media?
Social Media is not a light bulb
plugged into a lemon.
Social Media is a Way to Connect.
. . . and use SEO to tell your story.
Who Does It Well?
Procter And Gamble
What Not To Do:
•Hope it happens organically, because
people like you and your company.
•Set up an account on every platform and
post to it every few months, whenever the
mood takes you.
•Create accounts for your business and
talk primarily about Dancing With the
Stars.
Remember, you are using Social Media to get business, not just for socializing.
Which Network is the Best Network?
Three Major Players
Reconnect with friends and acquaintances, share
thoughts and commentary, and spend
innumerable hours on third party applications.
Reach a large, captive audience.
Exchange ideas, opportunities and knowledge
with trusted business contacts, while exploring
the social web that connects you with other
people of interest.
Interact with businesspeople.
A micro-blogging and service that allows
members to send and receive short messages
(140 characters or less). Rapidly updated, it is
easy to become subsumed by postings.
Monitor real-time conversation.
• A new member joins LinkedIn approximately every second,
and about half of all new user are outside the U.S.
• LinkedIn has over 75 million members in over 200 countries
and territories around the world.
• Executives from all Fortune 500 companies are LinkedIn
members.
• As a businessperson that might not be engaged in Social
Media, this is the place to start.
Social Media for Professionals, by
Professionals
• The largest, verified social networking site in
the world, perhaps the universe!
• Second most visited page in the world, after
Google.
• Grew to 500 million active users—more people
actively use Facebook than live in the US.
• Grows, roughly, by ten new users every
second, and there is no sign of stopping.
• 3rd Party apps, Tagged Photos, Advertising and
more.
The Social Behemoth
Why, How, World, Most, Top
• 140 characters or less.
• Estimated to have anywhere from 25 million to a billion users--
Twitter does not release hard data.
• Estimated to have a 40% retention rate.
• Your profile is searchable, no matter what. People’s tweets can be
blocked, but they can still see what you’re saying.
• Lots of chatter, but an excellent way to quickly pass content and
meet new people.
The Bird and the Whale
Twitter may be better than Facebook . . .
. . . for business*
