                                                                   Senior Consultant, Position Tech

Social Media Has Blown Up!




Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Everybody Wants To Get Involved




Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
We Know the Success Stories of the Big Brands...




         But how do you do well in social if you’re not a major brand?


Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Scale It Down!
    •     If you’re not a large brand with a huge reputation, your goal shouldn’t be to
          compete with them!
    •     BUT – You can still be successful
    •     The Key is to Target Your Audience


        Ex. If you’re a B2C ecommerce site, Digg.com might
        not be the place for you!




Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Figure out which sites are relevant for your market




                                                                                                 Source: quantcast.com
                                           ie. Do Your Homework!


Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Social Media:




Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
This can apply to so much more than Digg, Stumble &Reddit!

      What DOES it apply to?
      - Niche Sites ( Tip’d, Boudica, Sphinn)
      - Forums
      - Blogs (Not just your own!)




         *Key: You don’t have to make front
          page on digg, stumble, or reddit to do well in social!




Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Dominate the smaller sites first!
              Better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a small fish in a big pond

                                better
                                traffic


                           better
                            links
                                      higher
                                    conversions

                            These sites are more relevant to your market anyway!



Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Also, let’s not forget...

     People are talking on twitter today
     about your niche, find those people &
     talk to them!

Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
But Kenny, I WANT a frontpage on Digg!!!




                                                           ok...




         The Answer: Be Creative!!!

Kenny Hyder • Position Technologies • http://positiontech.com • khyder@positiontech.com • @kennyhyder
Example:

Conclusion
    • Huge opportunity in social for ALL brands
    • Find your niche, dominate it

    • When you’re ready to go after the big fish, get creative & think
    about how you can contribute to the communities
