2. *After months of research on social media and more
than a year of hands-on experience, I have put in
place 5 rules/guidelines for social media
How do you make it work?
* ?
3. “ ” –
Friends tell friends (find 1000 people that really care - GEEKS)
“ ”
Worth making a remark about, worth talking about

Users content works not corporate content

Online and offline have to work hand-in-hand

Giving value before expecting anything in return
And… “ / / ”

*In order to create a “Word of mouth” (have friends tell friends) - you
need to create a core of people that really care about what you are
doing and that they will care enough to spread the word. Or in
another words – get the GEEKS for what you are doing.
*For that do not start by approaching the mass market
*Start with the innovators and the early adaptors – they can become
your GEEKS
*Find 1000 people that really care - GEEKS

*In today‟s world people are attacked wherever they go. In order to
be noticed you need to be remarkable – worth making a remark
about!
*Spend 17 min and have a look at Seth Godin presentation in TED:

ml
*Or you can start by reading Seth Godin‟s book – Purple Cow
9. *“ ”
*Users content works, Corporate content does not work
*Make things that encourage people to contribute content. this
will be much more effective than creating another fancy
promotion video.
*People are interested in what other people (just like them) have
created – they are not interested in what you, as a corporate
have to say
10. “ & ”
Online and offline have to work hand-in-hand
11. *“ & ”
*We are talking about social marketing which is „virtual‟ BUT you
must remember that the real social connection are physical, face
2 face, in the real (not virtual) world.
*If you want to create a „word of mouth‟ combine offline (physical
– real world) elements with online (virtual – social networks)
elements
13. *“ ”
*Do not try to sell!
*Social media is about making a conversation. In order to create a
conversation, you need to give value without asking anything in
return!
*Only after people really listening to you and like the relationship
that have been created, you can start asking for things.
*Giving value before expecting anything in return
15. *“ / / ”
*For every 100 people you approach, 10 will listen to you,
only 1 will actively participate.
*Sounds strange? Well… it works!
*E.g.
If you are doing a Facebook ad. For every 100 „Click‟s you will
get 10 „Like‟s and from them only 1 will participate actively in
the conversation
