your questions
"unsure yet? perhaps blending private and social... where is the real private (virtual and in-person?)"
Treat ALL posts on social networks as being 100% public. There
is no “private” social media. Remember, even if you are paying
for the product, in 2014, you are also the product.
"What do you measure success against? Likes / followers / views - or related spikes in traffic to
your site?"
The end point [for for-profit businesses] is ALWAYS revenue.
That said, measuring all parts of your conversion funnel will tell
you where you are losing people.
"How would you combine Social Media and CRM campaigns?"
Use a CRM/marketing automation solution that incorporates all
of your social media channels. An integrated social media/CRM
campaign will almost always perform better (have higher ROI).](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/webinar-140708094201-phpapp02/85/the-perfect-post-from-email-to-blogs-to-social-how-to-make-your-content-marketing-convert-11-320.jpg?cb=1432490469)

- 12. Have a question you want answered? Tweet it to me on @KenHerron! #ThePerfectPost your questions "how to do the basics of social media marketing without becoming an aficionado" Each social network does a good job of teaching their respective mechanics. You don’t have to be an aficionado, or even do it yourself, but you DO need to understand it well enough so that you can effectively manage it and not get taken advantage of by the internal/external people who decide what to do and have their hands-on-the-keys for your brand. "What's the optimum number of postings per day? Do I really need to use all channels" See my “cadence” slide for the optimum number of postings per day for each of the nine mainstream social networks. You need to have a presence on each of the mainstream social networks, and an ACTIVE presence on the networks used the most by your target audience. "What are some tips to bring content acceptance within the company itself to use employees as brand ambassadors?" They’re already brand ambassadors. You’re just not “training” them yet! Show the company’s decision-makers the combined size of the audience employees already have on their different social networks. Sharing cringe-worthy examples of how employees are already talking about your brand(s) will also have a strong impact.
- 13. Have a question you want answered? Tweet it to me on @KenHerron! #ThePerfectPost your questions "What’s your view of the recent trend of people favoriting rather than retweeting on Twitter?" Some people perceive a Favorite on Twitter to be of lower ‘value’ than a Retweet. They’re both positive affirmations that people have read and liked your content, so don’t be upset when people are favoriting your posts. Be upset when they’re NOT favoriting your posts! "Do you think Pinterest's new messaging service will be popular?" Yes! Pinterest’s users are quite passionate, and I would expect a built-in messaging service to catch on quickly.
