Hinweis der Redaktion
Good writers with passion = bloggers Seeking national attention = Twitter Friendly acquaintances for referrals = Facebook Professional acquaintances for referrals = LinkedIn
General sites have categories to submit stories to, but genre specific social news sites are proliferating
Lawyers are slow in catching on to these. Great way to control image and information you advertise. Creating daily snippets of knowledge that likely takes no effort to compose
and if done well, can create trust very quickly, perhaps even quicker than text which can easily be copied or paraphrased from others
Does anyone use one of these? I just barely started using SU but don’t remember to rank pages – plus no browner button for Google Chrome
These are good if you want to market to other lawyers. I spend a lot of time on LinkedIn
Most forgotten form of SM Throwback to “chat rooms” Around before “search” engines
Lots of pull Tons of friends and fans Whatever they say/bookmark is worshipped Takes pride that they are a Super User Some have ulterior motive
Really active Submit a lot Vote a lot Comment a lot May evolve into a Super User
Sign up for as many SM sites possible Submit only own stories/articles/praises for self Then submit more of the same Don’t realize they aren’t being social
Pent up rage Lets true emotion and anger out being Internet alias Criticize/argue over anything: your views, grammar, location Will let you know how horrible you are
Signs up for sites but doesn’t participate Uses SM for own benefit/entertainment Similar to Avid Learner and Average Joe This is me on Facebook
Helps people she doesn’t know Usually have a lot of knowledge and want to share it Usually borderline Active User and Super User
Knowledge hungry Love self help and how to articles Easily spend tons of time getting deeper and deeper into Internet Oftentimes Lurkers bc don’t want to be social, just learn
SM on spare time Doesn’t submit content Not social May comment occasionally Adds friends every now and then Most common of all users
Starbucks and Dell have 11 channels I engage in 3 mainly (and an Average Joe/Lurker) on a few others
Surprisingly few local lawyers have blogs When you update your blog, automated messages can b sent to your other SM for followers to return to your blog and read what you posted. Blog can house your Twitter accounts, professional photographs, videos, and can conspicuously highlight your LinkedIn and Facebook profiles
Constant addition of new material will have your blog recognized by search engines and listed higher in search results. This is called SEO and is the crux of how people can find you online
World’s largest professional networking site
I follow his blog but not his Twitter
I’m connected to McLain on LinkedIn and was through Twitter
When do you think the last time was when a mega-firm out of NYC was hired because of their phone book listing?
MI: Professional? Busy? Lazy? Overwhelmed? DYN: Include web links with short URLs / Great way to drive viewers to website or blog SWC: For solos/smalls it’s company Like a ListServe but more diverse Media: Journalists search Twitter for quotes and experts – I’ve been quoted in ABA b/c of Twitter
Combine Facebook with other social media tools like Twitter. For example, when someone asks a question on Twitter, you can respond in detail in a blog post and link to it from Facebook My practice doesn’t lead to Facebook use
If videos are too grainy or you don’t resonate well with the audience; Pay attention to light and audio; Videos don’t return a lot of SEO;
