                                        13
What is Social Knowledge?




                            14
What is Social Knowledge?
Our definition:

“Continuous dialogue on open connected digital
 platforms between people and organisations
   based around content, ideas and subject
                   matter.”



                                    15
What is Social Knowledge?
Social Media is not going away and it is not only for the young.
The fastest growing social media users are women over the age of
55 years old.
Social media is quickly becoming a digital
platform of choice to share knowledge.
The sharing and collaboration of
knowledge is the new movement of
knowledge economy where people are
being driven by the assumption that
surrounding people possess more
knowledge about the situation or subject.
The more people are connected to the
content, the more likely it is relevant to
them. Hence the term, social knowledge.           16
The Social Knowledge Economy




                           17
The Social Knowledge Economy
• Content Creation is still relevant
  and the social knowledge economy
  relies on them even more so
• However the publishing and
  sharing of content is expected to
  be free as well as the ability to
  share it with as many people as
  possible.
• Now it is regarded that the more
  people you share your content
  with, the more credible you are.
  The KPIs are so obvious among the
  share links that transparency in
  your work is more important than
  ever before.
                                       18
Why it’s important to connect people
        with relevant content




                                19
The Importance of Relevant Content
      67% of us experience information overload




                                            20
In the next 60 seconds…
                   9 blogs will be published




              175,000 tweets will be sent



                   700,000 status updates will be posted



2,000,000 videos will be watched

                                               21
The Importance of Relevant Content
• If you are a subject expert
  matter, professional
  organisation or specialty
  organisation, you must
  connect people with your
  content
• User engagement is more
  important that just
  publishing content on your
  site
• People are more likely to
  find out about you from
  social media contacts than
  via search engines
                                22
Important Strategies




                       23

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Abstract:
  • #25 Ask your audience – Want to know what matters to your target audience? Just ask them. Too many times, marketers guess at what their audiences might be interested, instead of directly asking them. You can do this in person, through email newsletters and via social media channels such as Twitter and Facebook.Leverage data – One of the best ways to create relevant content is to see what’s worked before, whether it’s downloads, shares, social media mentions, page views, or some other type of measurement. What did you audience respond to in the past? You can see what’s been successful, and try to find a way to put a different spin on the same topic. To do this, you need to be familiar with both web and social media analytics tools.Unearth trending topics – It may be a broad, but looking at different trending topics – via search and social media channels – may help spark ideas and give you a better understanding of what your audience is interested in a higher level. Investigate social mentions – If you want to see what’s hot in a particular industry or category, track them using a social media management or analytics tool. Seeing what people are sharing and saying around a particular topic can give you important insights into what your audience is interested in. For example, we use HootSuite to track a number of industry keywords, such as content marketing, SEO copywriting, content optimization and many others.
  • #26 Point 3 – where did you get this from? Highly incorrect from my perspective.
  • #27 http://socialmediatoday.com/feldmancreative/895511/what-do-other-people-have-do-my-content-marketing – Read this - very powerful closer in terms of shift from pushing sales message to giving selflessly
  • #28 Let’s speak about this tomorrow.
  • #29 Why don’t you do a business card draw as well? One person gets free service etc?
