brands need to think about facilitating user-
created actions, not just user-generated

• Badges and Logos
Be sure you provide many great
reasons to follow you.
Keep content interesting and
varied.
Always have your audience in
mind.
add value
be consistent
Consistency is key.
Allocate a few hours a week to
monitor your social media progress.
Consistently be part of a community,
not there only to market products.
Participate in conversations and do
not leave conversations you started.
be helpful and approachable
Do not just broadcast your own
messages.
RT (Re-tweet) interesting news and
information to your audience.
Reply to comments.
Answer questions you know the
answer to that appear in your feeds.
Participate in conversations.
focus on quality rather than quantity
On Twitter and Facebook, focus on
quality interactions, and build deep
relationships.
Convert fans into Evangelists and
hope they can promote your company
through word of mouth.
Numbers may mean more chances of
spreading message but DOES NOT
GUARANTEE that.
cross promote and share messages
There are applications that allow you to update status on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. If they are the same message you want to update for all your mediums, simply use Hootsuite.
It is ok to update your new blog post on all your different channels and no reason why you should not do that.
be in for long haul
Building relationship and trust takes time.
Do not give up after trying out for one month. Relationships are not built overnight.
Social media can increase your profile and open many opportunities if you try, you may not even actively market yourself or your company.
don’t allow it to consume your time
If not managed properly, social media
can be a distraction if you just have
conversations in small groups.
Make you’re your efforts are not in the
way of doing business.

Run events and meetups to try to engage your fans and supporters in a physical way. “Put a face” to that digital avatar.
