narrowcasting: how to make the most of existing connections
DESCRIPTION
Having more fans and followers has become a metric by which businesses are often measured in the social space. However, if we look at how conversations happen on social media, it has become primarily a means for broadcasting. In this session for Marketing Profs' Digital Marketing World April virtual conference on Social Media Marketing, we discussed the concept of narrowcasting and how to mine your followers for the people and conversations you're really trying to reach.TRANSCRIPT

Why Narrowcasting?
• People follow YOU for a reasonFind out why they follow
• You follow THEM for a reasonGrow your network through their relevant connections
• Not everyone wants to re-engageFocus on those who do
#TheLabNYC | #Narrowcast
1. Research who you follow and what they are interested in broadcasting/talking about
2. Engage the followers you have by finding content of interest – Sometimes, it’s re-engaging by re-tweeting their content
3. Grow your network by tracking which of their followers they engage with regularly or are of interest to you…
Extending engagement will continue to grow your network.
