Editor's Notes
- #6 At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content. It's a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Social media has become extremely popular because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal and business.
- #8 Social Media..It’s about starting a conversation - -
- #18 Your profile is the starting point for Facebook. Think of it as your front door. It’s very importantthat your front door on Facebook be in sync with the front door of your brand. Just because youcan put all kinds of cute things on your Facebook profile, you still must ask yourself what makessense in terms of your business and your business objectives. It’s common sense really, but it’seasy to take your eye off the ball with all the toys and applications available once you learn howto navigate Facebook.Create a profile that helps tell your business story and then enhance it with tools and applicationsthat allow you to branch out and connect with like-minded individuals.
- #20 FriendsFriends in the world of Facebook are simply people that are also members who grant youpermission to view their profile and contact them directly. This is really at the heart of thenetworking aspect of Facebook. Without any friends your Facebook efforts won’t be as useful.The first step is to connect with people who already know you and then you can start to connectwith friends of friends and other recognized thought leaders in your industry.Don’t forget to send friend requests to journalists in your industry as well.Once someone accepts a friend request, you can begin to share information with them and viewthe information they make available. A word of warning here: The Facebook culture, as is the casein many social network environments, frowns on direct promotion. The connections you makeshould be much more about networking and building trust.
- #24 Profile image: For a product page, like this one, you can use your company logo. Make sure it’s an image that you want representing your brand alongside every status update and post. This will literally be the “face” of your company! Maximum dimensions are 180(w)x 540(h) pixels.Other Photos: These photos get pulled from the photo album and wall posts on your page. Many new pages don’t have ANY pictures in these spots, which is a shame. Try and think of any imagery that you think best represents your brand and post them in an album so they appear along the top. You can hide or delete any images you don’t want displayed later.Post: This is where you share interesting and relevant information with your fans on Facebook. Anyone who “likes” your page will see your posts in their personal newsfeed.Wall/Feed: Your Wall is the primary place users can engage and converse with your brand. Users can comment, like and “share” your messages, links and video. Below each of your posts you can view quick analysis of the post’s popularity, including impressions and feedback rate.Tabs: To the left of the Wall, are your tabs. Users can navigate through interesting parts of your page, including your Photo albums, Discussion forums, custom Apps, and even special tabs like a Welcome page. You can also choose to set one of these tabs as your default landing page (Found under Edit Info>Manage Permissions).Fans/Likes: Beneath your Tabs is the number of “likes” your page has. Likes are the number of people who are a fan of your page and are receiving your updates on their personal newsfeed. You can click on the “people like this” link to view the names and profiles of your fans.Admin Tools: To the right of your Wall, you have an “easy access” list of helpful administrative tools. Here you can view analytical data for your profile by clicking “View Insights”. Or, if you have given your personal account ‘Administrative access’ to the fan page, you can sign in as yourself and toggle between using Facebook as yourself or as your company. This is a new feature, which essentially allows you to interact with other pages & people AS your page. More in depth administrative tools, such as editing and updating your profile page’s content, can be found by clicking “Edit Info” at the top of the page.Logging in as your product page (mentioned in item 7) is a new feature that deserves a bit more discussion. With your personal account, you can like, share and post items to your Facebook page outside of the Facebook environment. This new feature now allows you to participate in this behavior as your company. The line between a Fan Page and a Personal Profile is blurring more and more.Please Note: Facebook Tends to Update their Layout!While most of the components mentioned here are standard, Facebook does update and rearrange Page layouts, so please keep in mind that the appearance can and will change regularly.

- #44 LinkedIn for connectingLinkedIn is often billed as the largest network of business professionals. It certainly has a muchmore focused business participation than many social networks and is a great place to networkand do research on specific organizations and opportunities. Ingrainedin the LinkedIn culture is the ability to see who knows who and who can make an introduction.As is the case with any social network, it’s important that you take a little time and get to knowthe culture and the accepted norms. This is often done by lurking a bit.

From there you can begin to contributeand seek out connections with demonstrated leaders within the network.
