Notas do Editor

  1. Quiz: What are you using?
  2. Social Media, a Definition from Wikipedia: Social media use web-based technologies to transform and broadcast media monologues into social media dialogues. If there is one thing you must understand, it’s that it’s a CONVERSATION that takes place on the web.
  3. Contain your ideas in a physical or digital folder for later. You will have more content than you can use so you must find a way to save the ideas for later. Schedule them out so that you have a plan. Use an editorial calendar. Pick a theme for the month and create posts around that theme.
  4. Connect Blogger to Facebook to Twitter. Simple. Linking accounts together cuts down on time necessary to manage social media. You publish it on the first channel and it pushes through to the others. Be careful that you don’t do this each time because it turns off your followers. They know what you are doing. It’s lazy and it shows. You’ll need to publish organically on each site occasionally. You can’t always “phone it in”.
  5. Cross Platform tools like Hootsuite allow more advanced linking. Also has a link shortener and scheduler built in. My tool of preference. Advanced.
  6. How to Deal with Negativity How do you deal with it in real time? Your character shines through in your response. It’s better you handle something with grace that blow it off, ignore it, respond rudely, or delete. All service providers have unhappy customers. We have to learn how to deal with it in real time. The behaviors we have are often the same. You do have editorial control. You can delete posts. Deletion is only recommended in harassing, defamatory, or lewd posts. Your audience knows that you are censoring so do it in only the most necessary situations. Control is really an illusion. You’ve never had control over other people talking badly about you. The only thing you control is your reaction.
  7. Reputation Management is managing your perceived online reputation. What do people learn about you when they search for your name or business name? These are ways that you can make sure what is online about you is positive and/or true. You can’t truly delete anything that’s online but what you can do it bury it with good stuff. Most people don’t go beyond the first page so that first page is what you want to be good. Perform a vanity search. This is searching for your own name. Most call this “Googling yourself”. Google isn’t the only search engine. There’s AOL, Yahoo, Blekko and more. What do you find? If you can purchase your domain name from GoDaddy or some other host, buy it. http://www.yourname.com or http://www.yourbusinessname.com , They are inexpensive and are your digital real estate. Setup a monitoring tool such as Google Alerts. It’s free and once you’ve performed a vanity search, you can have Google continue to do it for you on a daily or as needed basis. It simply looks for the terms or words you setup and emails you when something new is found. Google is the dominant search engine with 65% of the market share so having your physical location and corresponding information correct with Google is extremely important. Enter into Google “google places” and it will allow you to set up a basic listing (like a phone book) for your physical business. This is important because many many services pull from Google’s database when someone searches for you. It also has a map and driving directions for the person that is searching. This information always shows up on the first page of Google. Setup a LinkedIn profile. It’s one of the most trusted sources of information on a person. It’s a resume and acts just that way. This shows up in position 3-4 on the first page of Google. This is by and large the most common tool used in professional settings. Sometimes it’s the only one used to research a person. Using all social media is in your best interest to control your message and image. Google highly ranks all social media and if you are using them regularly, you will completely control the message about you and your brand. Other than purchasing your domain name, everything here is free. The link is for more information about Reputation Management on my blog.
  8. You have grand ideas for talking about your business or message but you have to remember to listen. Social media is a conversation. If you don’t listen and talk back to people, they won’t care what you have to say. Learn to check your messages on each of the channels you use. Many of them can be set up so that you receive an email or text when someone is communicating with you. In fact, a few do this automatically and you have to turn it off. You MUST talk back or you are wasting your time. Social media is your customer’s (at least most businesses) preferred way of communication. Ignore at your own peril.
