Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 43
Social Media Policies
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 44
Why have a social media policy, anyways?
• New media has changed our communication
Blurred lines between professional and personal
Corporate information is available from a lot of sources
• Virality of information
News (good and bad) travels fast
• Blogosphere and traditional media influence each other
• Justine Sacco
#HasJustineLandedYet
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 45
A Social Media Policy Should
• Make interacting on the web easier, convenient, and safe

• Set constructive boundaries
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 46
Policy Best Practices
• Don’t automatically ban
• Do have a reason
• Don’t be old-fashioned

Platforms
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 50
My Recommendations
• Facebook
• Twitter
• YouTube
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 51
Facebook
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 52
What is organic marketing?
• The number of people who have seen your post through unpaid
distribution.
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 53
Prior to 2011
• Organic reach for marketers was amazing!
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 54
In 2011
• Facebook made some major algorithm changes that hurt organic
reach for businesses
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 55
Why the Change?
• Human behavior
• We don’t want to see everything from a company just because we
liked it 9 years ago
• But we aren’t going to go unlike all these pages
• We just ignore their posts
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 56
Why the Change?
• “Marketers ruin everything.” – Gary Vaynerchuk
• More content, more annoying newsfeeds to look at
• People only want to see what they want to see
• Facebook algorithm changes are trying to predict that
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 57
Simplified algorithm example
Source: neilpatel.com
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 58
Don’t do this on Facebook!
• Automate everything
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 59
Don’t do this on Facebook
• Use your posts to sell all the time
• Instead
Remember the 80/20 rule
Build a community
Engage your community
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 60
Don’t do this on Facebook
• Cheat the algorithm
Buying likes
Using clickbait
Bombarding followers with crappy posts
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 61
Steps to improving organic reach
• Post evergreen content
FAQs
Guides
Tutorials
Testimonials
Resources
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 62
Steps to improving organic reach
• Use organic post targeting
Targeting not just for ads
Target posts based on
Location
Gender
Age
Education
Interest
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 63
Steps to improving organic reach
• Use Facebook Insights
To find the optimal time to post
Don’t listen to articles claiming to know the optimal posting time on Facebook
Try posting at the time your audience is most active during off-peak hours (6pm
– 8am)
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 64
Steps to improving organic reach
• Use Facebook Groups!
• Post a variety of content
Don’t just do what is hot
Remember when images were the bread and butter of social?
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 65
Twitter
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 66
Twitter Search
• Twitter.com/search
• A very useful way of finding people talking about your
business/industry/products
• Can search for tweets containing
Certain words
Hashtags
Phrases
Mentions of accounts
• You can narrow the search down
Location
Certain people tweeting about the topic

Trendjacking
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 70
Trendjacking
• The process of identifying what is trending and capitalizing on that
trend to bolster one’s brand
Tying your brand into a trending narrative
• Similar to newsjacking
Tying your brand into a news story so that when journalists/bloggers write
about one story they are compelled to write about your brand
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 71
Trendjacking
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 72
Newsjacking
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 73
Tips on Trendjacking/Newsjacking
• Figure out how to relate your brand to the story
• Act quickly
• Be creative
• Be appropriate
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 74
Hashtags
• # hashtags organize tweets around a topic
Clicking on a hashtag lets you see the tweets that have used that hashtag
Allow your tweets to be seen by other people using the hashtag
Broaden the audience for your tweets
• Build branded campaigns and engage with new users
• Different hashtags can be compared
See which campaigns drive engagement and conversions
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 75
Benefits of Hashtags
• Create your own and get customers involved
• Research trends in your niche
• Find and join conversations
• Identify new prospects
• Share with a broader audience
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 76
Using Hashtags Correctly
• Be Brief – one word or short phrase
• Memorable and easily understood
• Not open to misinterpretation
• Not already in use
Don’t use trending hashtags for marketing
Look at for social movements
• Tagdef.com
Linkedin.com/in/williamzahn 77
Using Hashtags Correctly
• Your users control the hashtag
• Don’t overuse
• Researching trends
What hashtags are industry leaders using?
What are commonly used hashtags for your industry?
What is trending?
