11. • Build social followers & fans organically
• Wall posts/tweets with links are
perceived as more credible and useful
• Get the basics of SEO covered, then
focus on content
• Its worth repeating: unique, compelling
content still works

So you want more shares for your content, do you?
Try these ideas.
•
Create lists: people love to consume content in
list-form. Its quick, easy and simple.
•
Use hooks: ego, humor, anger, contrarian – be
careful with them, but when used well, they are
highly effective.
•
Participate in communities: when you are
valued member of a community, the community
supports you.
•
Share others’ information: people love when
what they share gets shared itself. Share from
trusted sources.
•
Ask questions: your followers will love the
interaction and it’ll grow your following as
others engage.
Exponential scaleMichioKaku – physicist – humans think in linear scales, but in reality it advances exponentially.
Bing is stitching together the pieces of the digital web to reassemble them into coherent objects. (iotw, an airplane has thousands of characteristics, but those characteristics are spread out on sites across the web. Some sites might have the plane’s length, another has the seating capability, another has safety record.) The challenge is to scour each of these sites, understand they are talking about the same plane, and ‘rebuild’ the physical object in digital so Bing can understand what it is, and what it can be used for. (For slide help: imagine you want to know the largest aircraft with the fewest engine failures, with the above scenario, Bing could do it).
