Hinweis der Redaktion
- In the words of
- Railways, hospitals, factories, universities, The NHS 1. C21 – we build things that help people to help each other – we are now in the world of sharing 2 & 3. Your customers can watch videos about how you do your stuff – how to Children can watch videos on how to teach 4. We live in a viral, peer to peer world 5. Urge you - Think opportunity, not technology
- 2 •Although now overtaken by Facebook, MySpace is the second largest social network, experiencing in excess of 60m unique users each month. • MySpace apparently reaches 30% of UK adults aged 15-24 - it's been suggested that its as common to have a MySpace account in the UK as it is to own a dog. • According to Knoll, MySpace has more than 115m active monthly users globally with, on average, 300,000 new people signing up to the site every day.
- Wikipedia – great example of social media Not the best thing since sliced bread BUT is another way to connect and engage
- Changes daily – you need to keep up to date ‘ Used to be’ (historically to me is yesterday) you would try and keep your website updated regularly (like one news item every 3 months – if you’re lucky) Now (and increasingly) in the future you will need to keep various sources updated Think opportunity, not technology
- Don’t forget other networks QQ – over 300 million active users in China Ever heard of mylife.com – 50M users in USA
- It's not about closing sales, it's about having a presence. When you have companies as diverse as Ford, Comcast, Quicken and Dell benefitting so greatly from having Twitter accounts (Dell, btw, financially) and companies as big as Amazon and Domino's getting bit in the butt for not reacting to Twitter fast enough, I'd say it doesn't much matter what the business is - it's important. In today's age of multitasking and short attention-spans, compacting your marketing messages into 140-character-maximum spaces is both challenging and refreshing.
- Not really a stat, but still quite a cool piece of info:
- Twitter helps one organize great, instant meetups (tweetups). Twitter works swell as an opinion poll. Twitter can help direct people’s attention to good things. Twitter at events helps people build an instant “backchannel.” Twitter breaks news faster than other sources, often (especially if the news impacts online denizens). Twitter gives businesses a glimpse at what status messaging can do for an organization. Remember presence in the 1990s? Twitter brings great minds together, and gives you daily opportunities to learn (if you look for it, and/or if you follow the right folks). Twitter gives your critics a forum, but that means you can study them. Twitter helps with business development, if your prospects are online (mine are). Twitter can augment customer service.
- Easy to put your ‘cv’ up there – don’t - Linkedin is for making connections – and for the majority of professionals that means clients and business partners, not recruiters. “ Open Networking” and “Trusted Partner Networking” Open – as many connections as possible Trusted – In my experience, this Trusted Partner strategy works best for most professionals. It mirrors the way we develop trusted relationships in the real world. And it reduces the risk that your trusted connections will be spammed from other connections you barely know. Both strategies can work, but you must be consistent. If you’re following a Trusted Partner strategy, you must only connect to people you really know & trust and turn down connections from people you don’t (Open Networkers for example). 3. Linkedin works on connections. The most powerful use of Linkedin is to find new clients and business partners through the search function or directly via your contacts connections. The more direct connections you have, the more opportunities you have to connect. I still see people who’ve made all the effort to set up their Linkedin profile – but who have so few connections that they don’t get any benefit. 4. Linkedin allows the ultimate in specificity. You can search for exactly who you want to be referred to – by company, by geography, by name, by job title, etc. And you can search across your entire network at once. Or you can look at the contact list of an individual to see if there’s anyone you’d like to be connected to. Once you’ve identified people you’d like to be introduced or referred to, rather than try to connect them directly, give your mutual connection a call and ask them if they can connect you. That’s much more polite than going directly, and it’s much more likely to be successful. 5. Don’t beg – give testimonials to get them in return.
