thinkers—will now reap society’s richest rewards

Find Your Community
What’s your voice?
Where are your customers?
Why do they care about what you have to offer?
Can you join conversations they’re already having?
Maybe they need YOU to start the conversations and
CREATE the Community.
Tweet Like You Mean It
Twitter Tips
Find #Hashtags related to conferences or chats.
@Mention friends, partners, fans, people in your
community as much as possible.
Engagement builds relationships.
Be genuine, personable and real.
Every follower is an opportunity.
When they’re connected to
your vision and value, they’ll
align themselves with you and
become your advocate.
Twitter Pro Tip
When you start a tweet with an
@username, only the people who follow
both you AND that @username will see
that tweet in their timeline.
bit.ly/twitterprotip
FaceBook
Mention/Tag
customers
& fans!
Don’t give all your
good ideas to
Twitter & Facebook
Watch when you’re only creating content for Twitter,
or just sending traffic to Facebook or YouTube.
Is it a bigger idea?
Possibly something with viral potential?
Content is King
Write a post first, then tweet that.
Content is King
Write a blog post
with teaser photos
to the full
Facebook album
bit.ly/FabStitch
Create “Pinable” Graphics
Content is King
Write a blog post, then link to that.
Extend one piece of content into 2-5
Vary your updates with text, polls, photos, links.
Cross-promote your other networks.
Give your community something to connect with
+ something to share
There’s power in the series.
