Social Media Best Practices
Start with a plan, not tactics.
“ Give to get” New Paradigm - Giving value before expecting anything in return.
Commit resources & time to be successful or you may very well fail.
Be transparent with intentions & your identity or you may alienate the very audiences you’re trying to connect with.
Understand, you do not control the message . What happens in Vegas…ends up on Google
Welcome participation, feedback and co-creation. E ncourage participation with communications, especially with brand evangelists.
Metrics should roll up to objectives and objectives should be relevant to the channel.

Social Media Worst Practices
Being FAKE in any way
Not listening
Being oblivious to formal & unwritten social rule s
Being pushy or overtly salesy in messaging
Approaching social media channels as SILOS

SMM Trends in 2010 From Harvard Business School
1. Social media begins to look less social Perhaps it's not actually less social, but it might seem that way as we all come to terms with getting value out of our networks — while filtering out the clutter.
2. Corporations look to scale This is a sign of things to come over the next year as more companies look to uncover cost savings or serve customers more effectively through leveraging social technology. 3. Social business becomes serious play As businesses look to incentivize activity within their internal or external networks, they may include carrots that encourage a bit of friendly competition.
4. Your company will have a social media policy (and it might actually be enforced) From how to conduct yourself as an employee to what's considered competition, it's likely that you'll see something formalized about how the company views social media and your participation in it.
5. Mobile becomes a social media lifeline What used to be cigarette breaks could turn into "social media breaks" as long as there is a clear signal and IT isn't looking. As a result, we may see more and/or better mobile versions of our favorite social drug of choice.
6. Sharing no longer means e-mail It becomes more mainstream for people to share with networks what they used to do with e-mail lists. And content providers will be all too happy to help them distribute any way they choose.
