This is a presentation I created for the Association of Developmental Disabilities Providers (ADDP) Technology Day for Human Services Staff. Description: It seems everyone is talking about ways to use social media for business, but social media tools growing so quickly and changing so often that it’s hard to know if you’re using them in the best way. This workshop can help. We’ll look at some of the newest tricks of the trade, discuss the pros and cons of these tools, and examine the tactics necessary to be successful in the social space. Last, but not least, we’ll tackle the question everyone asks: How much time do I really need to spend on social media to get results?

4. Social Media
RULES OF THE ROAD
Social media tools are always
changing. (Can’t cross it off
the list.)
“Getting on social media” is
not a marketing strategy.
Using social media will not
compensate for a bad
program or service.
The tools are NOT free – they
take
time, capacity, knowledge, res
ources.

67% of online adults use social networking sites.

9. Isolating or Connecting?
Social networking sites are increasingly
used to keep up with close social ties.
The average user of a social
networking site has more close ties
and is half as likely to be socially
isolated as the average American.
Facebook users are more trusting than
others.
Facebook users have more close
relationships.
#jcsocial @skullsflying
10. Isolating or Connecting?
Internet users get more support from
their social ties and Facebook users
get the most support.
Facebook users are much more
politically engaged than most people.
Facebook revives “dormant”
relationships.

19. Facebook Graph Search
Very different from Google Search
“Find more of what you’re looking
for through your friends and
connections.”
Your privacy choices determine
what’s searchable.
“With Graph Search, you can look
up anything shared with you on
Facebook, and others can find
stuff you've shared with them,
including content set to Public.
That means different people see
different results.”
#jcsocial @skullsflying
20. What this means for you
Facebook Page SEO isn’t new.
Google and Facebook both index your Page name,
category, vanity URL and keywords in your About tab.
#jcsocial @skullsflying

44. Content Curation is HOT!
Compare to a museum curator:
They identify a theme, provide the context, decide
which paintings to hang on the wall, how they should be
annotated, and how they should be displayed. (Kanter)

continually seeks, makes
sense of and shares the
best and most relevant
content on a particular
topic online.
