Twitter puts you in a forest.

Why do I want to be there?

Tweeters - subdivide and listen.

Give and take.

Use tweets to drive people to your site.

You need to LISTEN too - it's not just about posting

Measure relative growth and engagement

What is a Tweetup?

Keep your Twitter handle short.

NING is like Facebook In a Box

It's not really a blog. But its a great tool.

Follow similar businesses

If others are talking about you or your product, you win.

Video is HOT!

Sometimes you just run into jerks.

Block them, unfriend them... ignore them.

How do you post to multiple places?

How do you choose

where "To Be"

in Social Media?

Must have a blog; start there

and use other tools to promote.

It doesn't have to be hard.

Describe what you do!

Be where you feel most comfortable;

different for every person and every business

40% of our buisness is driven by social media.

I get a lot of really cool things,

I share them and my brand has grown.

Social Media?

a project of the Maui Economic Development Board

We had public blog.... found we got vulgar and mean posts.

Change so that comments need to be filtered.

You can respond to them.

I'm an anti-peanut faction.

I want to RUIN pro-peanut industries.

How do I build my business

using Social Media?

Is there a dark side of

Social Media?

Incorporate it into things you normally do.

Have clear strategies... and don't get sidelined.

How do you manage social media

so that it's not a full-time job?

Dedicate fixed time and stop!

You aren't pulling people to you ...

You are going where the PARTY is.

Take pictures from your phone

and Tweet everything you do.

There are directories about

business topics --

i.e. Jewelry

that you can connect to.

Worldwide presence!

It depends on your business

Should I use my personal name or company?

You need to treat your "business" like it is a person. Establish your buisiness persona.

Blog from heart even for business.

When asked "Why would anyone

care about my jewelry business?" about

10 people said they would!

Many others know someone who would.

How strong is social media compared to print?

There is blurring happening. People listen to people they know.

It depends on your business.

Instant access is important

What is a RSS Feed?

Think about your asset as a radio station.

The RSS is like the channel. Allows you to

Posterous

You can set up Posterous and tell it where to post to. It does the rest.

Managing Changes is Tough

Require people to register in one place!

IPhone - IMovie is slick but it dies.

Just $5.

Connect to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter all at once.

Put core info in one place.

Point "ads" to that place.

Beware of changes

Making updates to 4 places is difficult... even if you remember all those places!
