The 5 W's of Building and Growing Your Online PresenceDerek Rice
Social media allows people to share instant feedback about companies — positive and negative — with friends and followers. It also allows companies to join the conversation, establish themselves as respected experts and influencers within their fields, and to become a trusted friend. All it takes is an active, engaged, and loyal online community. If you build it, will they come? Probably not. But your chances increase if you build a strong foundation. So how do you do that?

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the Social Fresh conference in Tampa, Florida (they have a West Coast version coming up this summer – check it out!). Besides basking in the Florida sunshine, the conference had a tremendous amount to offer. With 300 attendees and a range of presenters, including Chris Brogan, Ted Rubin, Jay Baer and more, my mind was literally exploding at the incredible social insights shared over this two-day event.
Using Social Media to help drive real success for a non-profit is more than just blogging occasionally, setting up the Twitter account and the Facebook group. But, on the other hand, you also don't have to turn your entire Web strategy into a real-time content feed in order to benefit either. Learning how to balance the buzz and benefits is an extraordinarily important challenge for marketing in 2010. Michael and I are looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. And, we're hopeful that the 90 Day plan included in this deck is helpful for guiding your Social Media Marketing Process,

Winning at Social - 4 Steps to Enhance Your Social Media Strategy (by MarketingCloud)
Победить в социальных медиа - 4 шага к расширению вашей стратегии работы в социальных медиа
We've entered a new era in nonprofit marketing. If you’ve dipped your toe in the social media waters, do you wonder why you aren’t reaching more people or raising more dollars? If you haven’t yet begun, have you considered what social media marketing might do to help you reach – or not reach -- your goals?
Join Claire Axelrad, J.D., CFRE for a discussion on social media marketing for nonprofits. We will explore why winging it no longer works in 2014 (e.g., putting up a page and sporadically begging for ‘likes’ and ‘follows’) and help you use social media as a tool to boost awareness and investment. Plus, we’ll discuss the resources needed to achieve success and how to measure the return on your engagement.

Industries are changing and are being disrupted - sometimes by up and comers who use content quickly, effectively and across all the new channels. It’s hard to keep up, but it’s not about keeping up.

How to create a culture of data-driven decisionsChristoph Trappe
As many organizations are trying to go through digital transformation, it's important to build a culture of data-driven decisions. Gut feeling reactions and decisions based on old models feel safe, but aren't always supported by analytics.

Six steps to move from traditional marketing to authentic storytellingChristoph Trappe
This session was presented in Mumbai on Nov. 1 and offers and walks you through steps that can be implemented on Monday to get your authentic storytelling - whether it’s for your organization or your personal brand - going.
Authentic storytelling for bloggers and businesses (Mumbai 2015)Christoph Trappe
Presented in Mumbai in late 2015:
Don’t make it so difficult to share your authentic story!
Sharing authentic stories is harder than it sounds. We try to be right, politically correct and try to not ruffle feathers with our authentic stories.
But authentic storytelling isn’t about being right (or wrong), about being politically correct and most authentic stories don’t ruffle feathers anyways.
And let’s not mistake politically incorrect for actually incorrect.
This interactive keynote will keep you on the edge of your seats and dive into why it’s so hard to share authentic stories for ourselves and the organizations we work for. But not to worry, Christoph will engage the audience to help you get started soon.
Even though 24 percent of websites now run on WordPress and the easy-to-use platform makes it super simple for people to get started, Sitecore has definite advantages over WordPress with its integrated approach.
No. 1 healthcare social media influencer and master storyteller Christoph Trappe will outline why and how to use Sitecore in your organizational storytelling and content marketing strategies.
This interactive session also takes storytelling beyond the platform and shares some best practices on storytelling in organizations across relevant channels.

4. Social media strategy
Why is social media powerful?
It’s word of mouth on steroids.
Some of the names that come to mind today are new in the last few years.
Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare are all newer sites.
Twitter has 200 million monthly users. More than one third of Iowa is on
Facebook.
Then businesses started to join.
Some used the new mediums just like they used old-school ad channels.
As a one-way tool to broadcast information.
At one point most questions from others to some of the big brands were
ignored and not responded too.
Need to have: Personality, approachability, transparency.

Twitter, complaining to his 22,000 followers
that service was terrible. What does the brand
do? No response. (Common. 70-some percent
of top brands don’t respond)
7. Social media strategy – No-Nos
A waitress Facebooked about bad customers.
A football player was fined for talking
negatively about the coach.
#McDStories (negative stories were shared,
interestingly, McDonald’s also shows up on the
good side of things!)
Somebody tweets at your brand, your social
media person has to go talk to the marketing
director, who has to go check with the CEO to
see what they should respond.
8. Social media strategy – No-Nos
Did I mention that a Tweet has a lifespan of
eight minutes? You have to respond within
eight minutes for conversation to happen!
9.
10. Social media no-nos
A juror in the UK was dismissed after she
disclosed sensitive case information on her
Facebook profile, MSN reports. "I don't know
which way to go, so I'm holding a poll" the juror
wrote, asking her Facebook friends to weigh in
on the case. (Source)
11. Social media no-nos
I visited a local business
Chatted with the owner
Followed them on Twitter
The next day they said: “Thanks for following.
Hope your week is going great.”
No mention about yesterday? Why not? I didn’t
feel very connected!
12. Social media no-nos
Sharing without reading.
Everything reflects on you! (Billy Madison
example)
“I love your stuff.” What stuff?
Mixing up accounts! Person posted personal
message to a company page!
Somebody overseas took Twitter users to
court for retweeting libelous information!

on.

business goals
Questions in the meantime:
ctrappe@gmail.com

17. Social media strategy – Day 2
Welcome
Review last time: What were your main
takeaways?
Any questions?
18. Social media strategy
Today:
Example of good engagement. do's.
Make sure you write down bullet points for your
strategy.
Business goals: Everything you do should fit into
a business goal. We’ll talk about that.
19. Social media strategy - do's
Social media is social!
Non-tech comparison:
At somebody’s house for dinner. Do you say: Buy
this OR do you just talk?
They may still buy or use your business but you
wouldn’t think of mentioning that first, right?
21. Social media - do's
Connect around topics.
What’s the topic that you are an expert in or
are striving to be an expert in?
Then connect with people in those areas.
22. Social media - do's
Examples:
#Blogchat
Mack Collier runs it. Hundreds of people participate
each Sunday night. He’s now a speaker and author.
Welcomes new people.
Approachable. (Tries to meet people in person)
United Way Worldwide conference
2,000
Tweeters connected by topics
In person, too, after that
23.
24. Social media - do's
Wal-Mart has higher engagement than Target, despite having
similar Facebook fan pages. Source
A large portion of the brand’s most successful posts are not
directly tied back to the brand itself but rather are designed to
appeal to the broad interests of its customers. They are
publishing posts that say, “Happy 53rd Birthday Hawaii” with
a picture of a sunset or “Like this if you’re going to miss
summer” featuring a picture of a cute dog. Walmart has found
that short, conversational and non-promotional posts
featuring fun photos is what engages its fan base. They are
blasting their fans with hundreds of posts, but they are posts
that the people want to see"
25.
26.
27. Social Media - Business Goals
Everything you do on social media/the web
needs to fit into your overall business goals.

management, monitoring.
For next time: Use what you’ve learned so far
in social media (my suggestion: Twitter,
Facebook, maybe LinkedIn). Report back next
time what worked, what didn’t, etc.
34. Social media – Building an
audience
Use what you have!
Share valuable/conversational content. People will
share it if it’s meaningful to them.
Test this: “Statement. LIKE if you agree. Comment if
you disagree.” (This works for some brands but not
all. Usually bigger ones with a huge following.)
Make it easy for people to sign up.
Direct links to your accounts from your websites/newsletter,
etc.
Include in printed materials.
Share on your personal accounts … but think about if
it fits and how.
35. Social media – Building an
audience
Facebook: People come to you!
Twitter: Do a search for relevant keywords in
the area.
Follow people who show interest.
Example: https://twitter.com/search-advanced
39. Social media – Time Management
Set alerts: Get email notifications when
somebody mentions you.
Google.com/alerts
Other services exist, but there’s a cost.
(Radian6, Salesforce)
If not live response: Set a time or two per day
to check: First thing in the morning. Then
again later. 10-15 minutes.
Post something new in your area of expertise
each time!
40. Social media – Focus (What to
say)
Pick your area of expertise.
Pay attention!
Write down ideas.
Read them back to co-workers/bosses before
sending. Get feedback! Don’t want to get into
an approval process, though! Think about Do’s
and Don’ts.
Tweet/Facebook the ones that fit.
Keep an eye on insights. How do people
react?
42. Social media - Focus
Watch for good stories.
Media stories to share.
How do you know what to share?
Interesting!
You mention it. (“Hey, xxx, I have to tell you this
…)
It fits within your area of expertise.
If you need structure: Develop a content calendar,
but don’t let things be stale.
43. Social media – Your Plan
Your goals
Your area of expertise (Focus)
Time management (Maybe include this)
Do’s
Don’t
44. Social media strategy - Wrap
