What other social media sites could I be using and why?
Twitter for building relationships • Retweet! Share something you like and others will like you more for it• Ask questions – sounds simple but if you ask things of people who you want to know
more about • Answer questions• Recommend others – they’ll likely do the same (‘Give first and build relationships’)• Look at the trending topics to get an idea of what is popular• Monitor keywords• When you meet someone add them to your Twitter• Follow Friday = #ff• An 80/20 split of conversational and corporate• Build a reputation as the source of info...
