Editor's Notes
- Social Media didn’t invent criticism. Dealing with Trolls = just like kids. Ignore, kick them out. It’s your garden. Policies - common sense policies cover just about everything. Address and discuss the fears; don’t let them be an excuse. Try “Okay, if we can’t do that, what CAN we do?” Bring your biggest naysayers into the process don’t have to do everything. Start small, with one idea.
- - Benchmarking and getting a lay of the land - Learning where conversations are taking place: community expectations, topics, trends - Baseline metrics: sentiment, share of conversation, awareness, influencers, reach, media mix - Serves as an information source upon which to base strategy
- - Listening with the intent to engage and participate - Act on intelligence and conversations publicly, where they’re happening - Using information you gather to affect change or progress in your company
- - Inward focused - Concentrating on your own company and brand
- - Outward focused - Bigger and broader than your brand; usually related to industry issues and topics - Can be a great way to get started establishing a footprint in social media if there’s no buzz about you yet

- This is a hypothetical sketch and your mileage will vary. Estimate for a team OR an individual, but obviously individual is harder. Listening will always be the biggest chunk. Always. That’s how you learn what to do next and how well your current efforts are paying off. As you mature, you’ll need more than you. Reasonably, it’s hard to attain a truly engaged/initiating level with just one person. You end up sacrificing something, usually on the measurement or listening end in order to up the content creation. Individual listening is easier because it can be tucked into the active stream a bit more and run concurrent with other efforts.
- Creation can overlap with existing content creation and repurposing/reformatting for social Measurement and Listening people can and often do overlap Often, individuals/solopreneurs and truly small biz have to divide and conquer OR vs. AND is critical for this size business. Need to decide where social media will be an evolution and a replacement for other efforts We figured out how to work email into our mix. This is the same thing.

- This is the REAL ROI equation. It’s a dollars in/dollars out equation. When you take the “I” in ROI down to little capital outlay, you bring the “R” up exponentially.
- Remember: Metrics are only as good as the goals they impact Justification is different than measurement Metrics themselves don’t indicate success or failure
