51. Rules of engagement
★ Listen. It’s all about your audience. By opening up a social
media channel, you’re inviAng them in. Are you ready?
★ Control. You never had it anyway. Once you set social
projects loose, you can only steer. And hang on.
★ Engage. This isn’t a one‐way deal, you’re not preaching,
telling or broadcasAng. You’re engaging. Are you?
★ Personality. Have one. Very few will follow a dull,
ambiguous or faceless corporaAon. So give it some gusto.

52. Rules of engagement
★ Conduct. You’re talking with your audience. Be appropriate,
transparent, relaxed, have empathy and be human.
★ Value. Add it. If you can’t, there is no reason for your
audience to contribute, respond, engage or share.
★ Success. How will you measure success? Have you found
your audience and improved your business?
★ Fun. Make sure you have some. A posiAve approach will be
reflected in your interacAons and connecAons.
