You can’t expect others to share your content and talk about you
if you don’t do the same for them……………….
59. Be part of the community
• Sharing content helps you to ‘be part of a community’
• Amplifying content
• Helping person who created the content – they will reciprocate
• Can maintain an independent point of view – you can be seen as
a content ‘curator’ it’s not all about you
• ‘Here’s something someone else says – what do you think?’
Helping stimulate conversation
60. Be an Informer
Researchers at Rutgers
University found that only 20%
of us are informers on social
media, while the other 80%

followers of meformers.
Sharing information is better
for your follower count than
sharing about yourself.

celebrities but today there is a new wave of “everyday”
consumers that can have just as large an impact.
Ways you can help people to become influencers

Content Marketing (Zappos)

• 70% of B2B marketers are creating more content than a year
ago.

Cosmic is an IT and consultancy business. We are based in Honiton, East Devon.
Our services are designed to support and improve the use of computers, internet and other digital technology, including websites, IT training, technical support and consultancy.
We are a social enterprise, continually involved in a range of projects, such as the Connecting Devon and Somerset, which achieve meaningful social impact for individuals and organisations across the South West.
I met Ursula at the North Somerset Tourism Conference, where she asked me to come in and deliver a short workshop on social media and future developments for the benefit of the council. I hope you find today enjoyable and please feel free to ask any questions.

LA = Local Authorities
Connecting Devon and Somerset has been set up to deliver next generation broadband infrastructure to areas where the market has failed to invest.
It is a public-private partnership of six local authorities (Somerset, Devon, North Somerset, Torbay, Plymouth and Bath and North East Somerset) and our delivery partner BT. Somerset County Council is the accountable body for the programme.
We aim to bring superfast broadband to 90% of premises in the area covered by the Connecting Devon and Somerset programme. This means that most residents and businesses in Devon and Somerset will have broadband speeds of over 24Mbps by the end of 2016. By then, we also aim to ensure that every premises within the programme area has a broadband speed of at least 2Mbps
We will mostly be using Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC). This is where broadband is delivered from the telephone exchange through fibre optic cables to new green cabinets, placed alongside existing roadside cabinets. From there, copper cables will connect to each premises that is linked to that cabinet.
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) may also be used in certain areas. Here, fibre optic cables are used to connect a property directly to the telephone exchange with no cabinet or copper in between. Alternative solutions are also being explored for properties in the hardest to reach areas. Such solutions may include wifi, satellite or even technologies still under development.

This is some data collected by a company called we are social; highlight in this is the average daily use of social media via any device, a staggering 2.13 per day. We nowadays spend more time on the internet (using are PC or tablet) then we do watching the TV.
These platforms continue to capture significant interest from users a trend reflected in their huge active user bases: It also appears that social media is now an engrained part of the lives of people across different demographic groups. This increased ubiquity may result in some changes to the specific demographic bases of individual platforms, but even if people’s habits are changing, it appears that people are moving from one social platform to another, rather than deserting social media in its entirety.
If we look at the orange, which are social networks Facebook is still the most popular at 43%. How many of you have a Google+ account? How many actually use there Google+ account? How many actually use there Google+ account? Third most popular, continue to grow.
What is interesting is the use of messaging apps. Families/Friends are using these messaging apps to speak with each other, groups with similar interests. This is the way our behaviour is changing. How can business adapt to use these messaging apps? Are behaviour is moving towards interest/common interest.
Facebook is still the biggest kid on the block – will Google+ surpass this by 2016 – Jeff Bullas

Vine is a short-form video sharing service. Founded in June 2012, it was acquired by microblogging website Twitter in October 2012, just prior to its official launch. The service allows users to record and edit five to six-second long looping video clips, and to "revine", or share others' posts with followers. Some Vines are revined automatically based on what is popular. The videos can then be published through Vine's social network and shared on other services such as Facebook and Twitter. Vine's app can also be used to browse through videos posted by other users, along with groups of videos by theme, and trending videos

This image demonstrates how quickly and exponentially information, advertisements, ideas, etc. can be spread by utilizing social media. It is also a great depiction of how a Youtube video can go viral, propelling its creator to fame, even it is often short lived. When applying the concept to business, it is clear how a good business idea such as Starbucks receiving customer suggestions and ideas can spread so rapidly. A good idea will spark interest and interest will lead to sharing. With so many users on sites such as Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter, the sharing occurs at an incredibly fast rate.
A recent example of this sort of viral phenomena is littlefriendsphoto.com a one man pet photography business in Los Angeles
