You
Family
Friends
Coworkers

Approval hell!
#bnlf @ctrappe
Buy-in exercise
• How will you handle getting buy-in? Or will you?
• Conversations to be had.
• Let’s take it step by step.
4. Stories

What makes a good story?
• Conflict
• Authenticity
• For a defined audience

Exercise: How will you measure
success? Why?
Sometimes you can’t measure
success or ROI.
#bnlf @ctrappe
6. How to keep going. This is a
marathon not a sprint.

Use every piece of content
at least on six channels.
Get on a schedule
Social Blog
Politically incorrect ....
#bnlf @ctrappe

actually incorrect.
#bnlf @ctrappe
If you only link on social media, you
aren’t doing it right!
#bnlf @ctrappe
