Social Media: How To & Best Practices - Pt1

- WRI Social Media Survey
- I know nilch about [social media tools]. I don't think they are a waste of time but don't know what they are all about .
- I need to learn more about this topic. For me, it's been challenging to build a part of my routine around managing social media tools for my personal interests and those of my project, although I fully recognize the importance of the subject.
- I have a broader question that I hope the presentation can answer. For those of us whose work would not appear to fit with many of these social media outlets, and who are possessive of our time (ie get frustrated constantly having to check updates), how do we go strategically identifying which media to both consult and update with ?
- How can we cultivate relationships with blogs and get them to follow our work, without having to use twitter ?
- RE: “Rate your familiarity/comfort with using social media tools” [I] would like to say that the above question doesn't give the option i would have chosen. if 1 = "never use them," that's what i would have selected - i don't think social media tools are a waste of time, i just don't use them or know how to use them .

- Google Reader has been a huge help to me in keeping up with news on issues I work on (REDD, forests, climate, UNFCCC, etc). I scan it on a daily basis and now find a rarely hear people talking about a new pub/meeting/decision I don't already know about -- nice!

Editor's Notes
- Businesses Can't Hide From 2.0: A Look At 2.0's Impact Across Industries http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/businesses_cant_hide_from_20.php September 6, 2008 If you're a business who has been ignoring the Web 2.0 trend and the spread of social media: look out, the tide is shifting and you're about to be left behind. The rise of social media didn't happen overnight, the power of the internet to unite people, the ubiquity of broadband, the rise of Gen Y, the development of new technologies for socializing on the web - all of these things and more have led to the rise of social media. And this new force is affecting change in the way that companies do business - now and for many years to come.

- BRAND YOU by Tom Peters - Reinventing Work - The Brand You 50 - transforming yourself from an employee into a brand that shouts distinction, commitment, and passion! Free Agent Nation: repeat in the mirror: My work matters I am me Inc. See me hear me roar I matter My work matters What are you: Planning Officiando, Dream Producer Saleable Distinction - how am I different Stunning skill package, Original voice, Deep conviction. Stand for something important! Just say no to loyalty: Are you committed to excellence, making a difference, do you understand the sacrifices that are demanded? I serve clients, it's what I do as Brand You Your clients define you. Use these questions to select them: 1) What can I learn from them? 2) Are they trustworthy? 3) Will they "joint venture" with me on interesting projects? 4) Are they innovators, take risks? 5) Will they stretch and challenge me? never settle for less than WOW. Brand yous are: - Skills dependent - Distinction dependent - Network/Rolodex dependent - Project (WOW Project) dependent - Growth dependent - LEADERS ALWAYS BE MARKETING: Sell, Sell, Sell (Close the sale, ask for the business) Create a clear crisp compelling selling proposition. What is your formal word of mouth marketing plan. USE THE WEB - Aura - known for - Image - People talking / buzzing about you WHAT IS YOUR PRODUCT? product marketing. Work that needs doing, unmet needs, vendors mindset, career planning = strategic business planning. What is different about my product? - Always be on the lookout for good talent. - Build your network. Weekly rolodex lunches.

- Informed publics ages 25-64 in 20 countries. QUESTION: “Think about everything you see and hear every day about companies, whether it is positive or negative. How many times in general do you need to hear something about a specific company to believe that the information is likely to be true? Please give me a number.”

- Important lessons from this – which I’ll cover in more detail at an upcoming social media brown bag – include: Always be listening for only by listening can you understand others and that is an important part of the conversation. Social media is NOT a marketing outlet, it IS a conversation. Be prepared for that kind of exchange. Social media is not necessarily a Field of Dreams – if you build it people won’t necessarily come. You have to invest your time and effort in building a presence which draws the right people to you (and, ultimately, it is ALWAYS about people). What you do in the online world will impact your offline world. They aren’t separate, they are conjoined. Social media is a perfect medium to live out the WRI values … not just through the WRI profiles online, but through your own personal social media spaces because whether you like it or not, what you do online reflects back on WRI. You can’t manage what you can’t measure so make sure to measure, measure, measure.
