The Role of Content: Media Content Creation, Content Marketing, Creating Media Friendly Content
Social media communities are not built over time, they take a lot of investment learning to grow a loyal community.
Have you used any of the 50 ways to energize your social community audience and did it work?
If I ever post anything on Facebook or Twitter it is usually a link to a story, now I don't know if this energizes my community because I usually hear crickets. I rarely receive responses and maybe it is because I haven't connected with many of them. Now that I have branding myself as a social media expert I will start using these some of these ideas to engage my audience.
But I will have to make sure that my content will not be about keeping it real but rather about keeping it relevant. I think the right thing for me to do is to inform rather than to promote myself. Dave Kerpen, the CEO of Likeable Local, writes that content is fire and social media is gasoline. This makes a lot of sense, for example if I wrote about the abuse of the hashtag to my audience, this might fuel a fire within social media to finally stop the #abuseofthehashtagfinally. Social media can be fueled in so many ways, just check out the conversation prism:
Social media is not fad like some say, it more than just Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter.
There are so many social media outlets, do you use most of them? Looking around, I have visited many, but have not been loyal to a lot.
The problem I personally have with keeping up with these social networks is creating content. I always forget to bookmark links to cool things I find. Another problem I find is that I might find something cool on Reddit but feel that sharing it on Facebook might bother other Redditors who find it annoying when Reddit content is put on Facebook. The netiquette of some social media networks prevents users from really sharing all content. But I shouldn't care if I want to fuel that fire.
