Diving into Social Media

What is Social Media? “Social Media is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. It is the shift from a broadcast mechanism, one-to-many, to a many-to-many model, rooted in conversations between authors, people, and peers.” - Brian Solis, PR 2.0 blogger and principal of FutureWorks

Types of Social Media Social Networking Sites ► Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn Lifestreaming/Microblogging ► Facebook Status, Twitter, FriendFeed & others Social News Sharing Sites ► Digg, Delicious, Reddit & more: important places to participate Blogs & Podcasts ► Citizen media with huge influence, especially on niche topic Social Photo/Video Sharing ► YouTube, Flickr, Picasa

Social media’s impact on PR & the media ► Focus on the social capital of the journalist, not the outlet ► News is consumed differently – and on the go ► Niche sites available to everyone ► More direct-to-consumer ► Communities, not audiences

Engaging

Personality 2.0 ► Go in with a plan ► Be yourself, but remember that you represent your brand ► Social media gives others a snapshot of you: What does your picture look like? ► Listen to the tone of each site before engaging ► Creating a mix of content: ⅓ about you, ⅓ sharing articles/ideas, ⅓ conversation ► Regularly clean up your profiles ► Stay for the marathon, not the sprint, to build relationships

To blog or not to blog? ► What is the goal of my blog? ► What can I offer that is unique to my blog and can’t be found elsewhere? ► Who will my blogger(s) be? (They must want to blog or it won’t work.) ► Can I stick with the blog for the long haul? Will I be able to post regularly?

Developing Video/ Audio Content ► Identify a goal for utilizing multimedia content ► You can make your content viral and fun ► For SEO purposes, be sure to include some text with your video/audio ► Accessing to multimedia tools is easier (and cheaper!) than ever ► Multimedia content is social: If you share it, they will come.
