14. What Is Social Media?
Joining others
in conversations about content online
content = media
All your media
(text, images, video, audio, etc.)
is available "socially"
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
15. It's Not Just Facebook or Twitter
Those are just tools
Tools are more effective as part of
a strategy
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
16. It's Not Just For
Marketing or Promotion
It's how people communicate
online
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
17. Social Media is Business
A unique opportunity to listen to
customers' needs on a grand scale
A unique opportunity to engage people
in conversation, build relationships and
grow communities around a brand
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
18. Why Should Businesses Use Social Media?
Once your static website was the sum total of
your whole Internet strategy
Now they're just overpriced business cards.

19. If You Build It, They Won't Come
Even if you trick them into it,
they probably won't come back.
20. You're Building a Tribe
They become interested in what
you do because they're interested
In You!

Over 50% of the world's population is under 30
90% have joined a social network
78% of consumers trust peer recommendations
Only 14% trust advertisements
Only 18% of traditional TV campaigns generate a
positive ROI
90% of TV watchers skip ads because they can
Socialnomics
Today's Web is All About Dialog

22. What They're Saying Matters More
54% of bloggers post content or tweet daily
34% of bloggers post opinions about
products, brands and services
25% of search results for the World’s Top 20
largest brands are links to that
user-generated content

23. SEO vs. Social Media
People care more
about how their
friends rank products
and services...
…than how Google
ranks them.
Socialnomics

26. You Make the Encyclopedias
Wikipedia has over 17 million articles
Available in 270 languages
80,000 active volunteers worldwide
Comscore
Studies show it’s more accurate than
Encyclopedia Britannica
If you were paid a $1 for every time an article
was posted on Wikipedia you would earn
$1712.32 per hour

33. Social Media and Small Business
www.kaiscapes.com Manta

34. Your Website Has To Do More
The modern Web is about
engagement, conversation and building communities
Your website is now just a piece of a larger puzzle
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
35. An Effective Online Presence
now consists of
Engagement
and
Conversation
80%
Fresh
Content 20%
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
36. Step One: Website Becomes Blog
Website = Blog = Content Home Base = Conversation Starter
Quick updates
Built-in Search
Built-in RSS Feed
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
37. Step Two: Share and Engage
Content is housed on your website
Media (photos, videos, etc.) is housed in best of breed sites
Conversations on social networks
Syndication helps your content to go "viral"
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
38. Instead of just a website,
a modern Web presence requires a strategy
1. A "content home base" - i.e. a website built on blog
technology, specifically WordPress, to house "conversation
starters"
2. Great content posted consistently, and shared widely
3. An active presence on social networks engaging people in
conversations about that content.
39. Sample Social Media Workflow
1. Post to your blog (remember,
blog=website)
2. Post that blog post on your social networks
(remember, it's a conversation starter)
3. Watch for comments, mentions and shares
4. Reply and keep the conversation going
5. Go back to Step 1. Rinse and repeat.

info@kaiscapes.com
40. Advanced Social Media Workflow
1. Post photos on Flickr
2. Post videos on YouTube
3. Post those to your blog
4. Post that blog post on your social networks
5. Watch for comments, mentions and shares
6. Reply and keep the conversation going
7. Go back to Step 1. Rinse and repeat.
Meantime:
8. Make sure they can find your RSS feed
9. Set up notifications to go to email

41. How Does It Not Work?
It's not just another channel to blast your
message monologue style
You're not sending your message out to
the unknown masses here
It's not a channel for direct sales
It wasn't invented for marketers
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
42. You will be
ignored/unfollowed/unfriended/blocked
if you:
don't listen
don't have compelling content
don't add value
try to sell
Real people are having
www.kaiscapes.com
real conversations here
info@kaiscapes.com
43. You Will Not Succeed If You
Fail to engage consistently in
online conversations
Fail to share good content
consistently
Fail to build relationships
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com

www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
49. Strategy vs. Tools
If you just do Facebook or Twitter,
you don't have a social media
strategy... you have a tools strategy
It's not about the tools, it's what you
do with them
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
50. It's All About The Conversation
Use best of breed sites to house your media
Use the right social networks to engage
people in conversations about your media

51. Getting Started
The Obstacles
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
52. "I Have Nothing To Say"
a.k.a. "My business is not interesting"
Wrong!
Every business has content
Share the passion
Share the inner workings of making it
happen
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
53. "I Don't Have Time"
If you do it in addition, then no, you
probably don't
We make time for things that are
important
If you can't make time, this must not be
important to you
Work smart, not hard
www.kaiscapes.com
info@kaiscapes.com
54. "I Don't Like Change"
What hasn't worked for a while?
Is it time for a change?
(Why did you come here?) ;-)
Am I afraid of change?
Remember when email was new?

55. "But I Don't Get It!"
"If you limit yourself to just what you know,
you'll limit your business (or even your life)
the same way." - Peter Liu
Lots of resources out there
READ!!!!
Listen, lurk and learn (Peter's 3 L's)
Monkey see, monkey do

56. Be Careful Who You Trust
Really easy to call yourself a "guru" or
"expert" in social media
(or anything no one really understands)
Do they come with a reputation?
Do they walk the walk?
What do you see when you Google them?

61. The Popular Misconception
The value of Twitter is in who YOU follow,
not in who follows you.
(Don't follow this person!)
