Editor's Notes
- #2 Open: analogy to remodeler Kudos to the group Introductions: name, company, skill level, and what they’d like from today
- #3 Do what the big guys do. Ad dollars are shifting from push to pull. And here’s what I mean by that. In recent years there’s been a shift in marketing. Traditionally, marketers PUSHED their message out to people, through TV ads and print ads and billboards, etc. But the internet has changed all that. People can now choose what messages they want to hear, and where and when they want to hear them. The customers now are PULLING the marketing, rather than having it pushed onto them.
- #4 The good news is that the Internet is a much more cost-effective medium than traditional mass media. It used to be that we’d put up a website and figure we’re good to go. And if your website isn’t very important to your marketing, then you’re probably still okay. But if you want new customers to find you online, you have to do more. This chart shows what else has to happen. Creating a basic website is just the beginning, and will get you only very basic results. At Part I of this seminar, we discussed how to optimize your website for the search engines, and we touched on creating a link strategy. Those two things will get you better results. But when you engage in SM, that’s when things can really take off. Today, we’ll talk about how to leverage the most popular social media sites in your marketing – Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. We’ll walk you through the mechanics of how they work, so that you can feel comfortable that you know what you’re doing. We’ll also show you how to set up a strategy for using social media, because these things are hungry beasts, and if you don’t have a clear strategy set up beforehand, this can take over your life! So our intent here today is to show you what to do and how to do it, so that you can make these social media sites work for you and drive traffic back to your website.

- #10 Goals Increase traffic to your company’s website Build brand awareness Increase sales Increase leads Increase customer loyalty Engage in reputation management Introduce a new product Solicit feedback on products, projects, and new concepts Gather information Strategy Company versus personal brand Keywords you’ll vie for Plan How you’ll participate: level of engagement, more for your personally, or your company How you’ll engage prospects What is “your voice” What content might you need to create? How much time will you devote How will you integrate with other marketing? Specific campaigns? Training program for yourself or others
- #15 Let’s take it up a notch. On your website you might post things like this…
- #16 You could guess and just randomly start writing on various topics. Who knows, some of them might even be of interest to someone. But if you’re like me, you’re too busy to waste time guessing. I’d much rather know. Guessing is like just shooting wildly and hoping that you hit your target. The saying is, Ready…Aim…Fire, not Fire…Ready…Aim. So how do you figure out, with any degree of certainty, what your prospects want to know?
- #19 Wordtracker’s free keyword questions tool is, in my mind, the best tool you can use when you’re looking for ideas for specific content. This list will return the top 100 questions that people actually type into search engines, and it ranks them, too. I can go straight off this list and create an entire year’s worth of a schedule for my content. I can also drill up or drill down in my detail. I could go bigger, and search on just “tea,” to see what people are asking in general terms about tea. I could get more specific, and search on “caffeine,” to find out what specifically about caffeine has people worried. With this one free and easy-to-use tool, I have a wealth of information that I’d be foolish to ignore.
- #24 To keep the slide clean, I didn’t list the many, many more sites that are out there! Now, your content can be found more easily, by many more people.
- #26 No need to take notes – these are in your handout
- #28 Once you have a clear goal in mind, here’s one way to look at how to strategically approach.. It integrates online and offline (thus, handshakes to keystrokes) At the highest level, you are looking to tap into social capital for targets -> people important to your job search. These can be all types, not just hiring managers. For example (reveal). Influencers, by the way, can be: Professionals People in your target industry Opinion shapers “knob turners” Organization targets Channel leaders We can get to these people through mass techniques or focused Let’s get more specific… discuss next two levels Bridge: This is still a traditional approach – just using more technical tools. There’s so much more…
- #29 A recent study by the executive search firm ExecuNet found that 77 percent of recruiters run searches of candidates on the Web to screen applicants; 35 percent of these same recruiters say they've eliminated a candidate based on the information they uncovered. - from careerbulider.com
- #30 Keep in mind that while you’re looking to connect, some of the very people you’re trying to reach are online at the same time – perhaps for different reasons – but they’re out there. It’s in our best interests to: Be easily found Have a consistent message Aligned with our goals So what is our personal brand?
