5. Why and What?
We use social networks to attract new
clients/customers and keep them informed +
remind them we’re here.
How do we do this?
Broadcasting of new content ourselves
Facilitate public sharing of content
(posts, pages, ideas, etc.) through various networks
like FB, Twitter, and now mobile
Create fan pages or brand identities (Twitter handles)
6. Easy social sharing plugins
Other than Twitter, FB make sure it supports
Google+, Linkedin
Sharedaddy version of Jetpack
My current favorite:
“Twitter Facebook Social Share”
Examples including more obscure services:
EasySocial includes Pintrest support
SocialSharing Toolkit includes Tumblr
