How Do I Use Social For Business?

 Be yourself

 Don’t do or say something you wouldn’t mind sharing
  with an investor, employer or partner

 Customers talk to each other online

 It’s not a commercial

 Real photos, custom backgrounds, detailed info

 Be yourself
Control Your Brand Or Someone Else Will

 Can you connect with customers?

 Talk to people you wouldn’t normally have access to
   Mark Suster (iActionable intro)
   Hank Haney (golf tips from Tiger Woods coach)
   Robert Scoble (introduction to potential partner)
   Chad OchoCinco (cell phone number)
   CBR Venture Capitalist ($20M raise)
   Scott Anderson (Zion’s Bank CEO)
Convinced? Ok, At Least Try…

 LinkedIn is a MUST
   100% profile complete
   Use current photo
   Make sure everything is accurate
   Get recommendations
   Actively seek out connections in areas related to interests
   Investors, employers and partners will check you out here
   Paid account shows you who looks at your profile
   Keep it up to date
   IT IS YOUR RESUME
Activity Equals Influence

 Either in or out

 Insincerity is obvious

 Listen to and talk about/with others

 Time – no quick fix, no quick results

 Encourage employees to be social, don’t block it!

 SEO value  Rankings  Clicks  Customers
Suggestions and Tools

 Setup keyword searches and join conversations
Suggestions and Tools

 Tweetdeck (multi-network)

 Twentyfeet.com (analytics)

 Crowdbooster (analytics/suggestions)
Where and What?

   FourSquare
   Facebook
   Twitter
   Youtube
   Instagram
   Tumblr
   Google+
   Klout
   Others?
Takeaways

 Social media is not a toy for kids

 It is not a fad

 If you aren’t actively engaged now, you are behind

 Employers, partners, investors and customers are there

 The great equalizer – influencers can be you

 You will need to use it for most businesses
Remember This…

“Realize that the social media
success equation isn’t big moves
on the chess board, it’s little
moves, made every day that
eventually add up to a major
shift.” -Jay Baer
