Social Media Explorer: Three Tips For Social Media Management

Rich Becker · 1 month ago

Good advice. From experience working with television show fans and one independent film, I found (much like you did with spirits) that connecting with people in granular communities like forums or message boards can play a much more important roll than popular social networks.

It really speaks to the idea that you don't always have to inflate your own numbers to develop relationships ... you can go where your audience is. It allows you to develop better relationships with the few who might want to connect (e.g. several fans would track announcements on the film's SM assets for their groups; and a few film fans became personal friends).

Good stuff Jason.

All my best,
Rich

Thanks Rich. More than anything, it's nice to get verification from
those out there doing it that I'm not nuts. Heh.

There are those who suggest you need to be everywhere. Although that would be nice, I don't think it's realistic. Stick to the main ones that work. If you have customers in a specific niche network, engage there. Don't over do it because your engagement will fall and you won't be able to maintain all the networks.

Sound advice, sir. You should blog. Heh.

Thanks for the advice. Pretty realistic than the others. It's hard to maintain different accounts at the same time. Thanks for the links as well.

Sam rocks - I met him a few years back at the winter music conference in Miami, class all the way.

Also, he's quite the talented DJ. Neat to see him included here Jason.

Thanks Adam. Sam's a smart dude, for sure. It was good to finally get
to meet him.

These three tips are really working awesome for me as well. Although, I follow these tips naturally before reading this blog. But, after reading this blog I got a clear idea about how to interact with the people and what are the strategies to be implemented to get business from people. Anyway thank you very much Jason.

Thanks Robert. Glad to be the reinforcer for you.

Great tips! There seems to be some desktop applications that offer you the help to integrate all your social networks too!
patrickmurphy · 1 month ago

How do you get the people comfortable, that is sometime the big challenge! But thanks for the 3 steps, some have 333 steps
JasonFalls · 1 month ago

Ahh yes, Patrick. Depending on the culture and leadership of an
organization, there will exist those extra steps. Continuing to
educate and evangelize social media will help you get there. It just
takes time. Keep on keepin' on my man.

Thanks for the tip Jason! At the moment I am working on both Twitter and Facebook. I guess I'll take a look at Minggl. It would be good to expand to different networks as well.

Happy Minggl-ing!
Facebook Applications · 1 month ago

I’ve been struggling with this myself lately. I find it easy to get sucked into Twitter & Facebook and then realize three hours have gone by and I haven’t gotten anything done besides watch a few videos of puppies and update my status with inane comments like “Watching videos of puppies. SO CUTE OMG PONIES!!!!1!”

In all seriousness though, having a set time limit and an overall goal can really help you leverage your time on social media. Best to do this at the start rather than wait until you need a 12-step program like I do. ;)
JasonFalls · 1 month ago

Funny. Thanks for chiming in and good luck with the addiction. Heh.

Those are some good tips. I dont' know why people can't seem to figure out what suits them best. Those tips would also work if you're actually an individual looking for better career opportunities, in this example you'd be looking for social networks where key employers hang out (Linkedin would be of great help there).
One other tip, although I found the tool you suggest, Minggl, to be interesting and worthy of checking out, but I am currently using Flock the web browser which makes it easy to manage all your accounts on any social network you can think of right from a sidebar. Although it doesn't have that neat feature of integrated status update!

Thanks for sharing knowledge back with the world =).
JasonFalls · 1 month ago

Thank you, Manal. I've used Flock a bit, too. Will have to revisit to
see if there's anything new there. Thanks for the reminder.
