Tips For Listening1. Set up a Google Alert or other search action (Boardreader, socialmention, icerocket, BlogPulse) to find out where and when people are talking about you and what types of content they respond to most2. Set up a simple dashboard (Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, coTweet) to monitor searches, conversations, and your accounts3. Take note of what your competitors are doing to see what works and what doesnt4. Use a free influencer service like Klout or Peer Index to find out who is influential about your topic or brand and study their rules of engagement and enlist them in your efforts
