Social Media Failures and How to Avoid Them - AllFacebook SF

Our own Kevin Mullett presents at the 2012 AllFacebook Marketing Conference in San Francisco. ========== The success or failure of your online marketing and social media strategy rests in correct execution. And while we may have some success despite obvious mistakes, or when flying by the seat of our pants, we have to ask what are we leaving on the table. These small missing factors have a huge impact on the value and return from any campaign. How could we get more for roughly the same effort? What mistakes are leading to false proclamation that social can't work in your business, industry, or field? It's time for a second set of eyes and input. This session will highlight real world examples of social media usage that failed to connect the dots, and will provide minor adjustments that would have resulted in exponential results.

Notes de l'éditeur
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – Social Media Failures And How To Avoid Them - Presented by Kevin Mullett June 28th 2012.Social media isn’t as much about the tools you use or the online community you join, but about the story you tell and presence you make. Creating a clean online presence is all about remembering some simple concepts.“As technology continues to expand into multiple segments of our lives, the challenge is how we use it. Often our mindset is outpaced by the technology we are asked to adopt. This session will take a look at how social media, the Web, and mobile access are changing how we communicate with each other, personally and professionally. We will explore how we can develop willing participants, uncover the value in communication via preferred media channels, and weave social media into our lifestyle. “Photo by: Hans Gerwitz – fail stamp
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – USE TOOLS, DON’T BE ONERelationships are Not About The Tools.Social media and online marketing isn’t as much about the tools you use or the online community you join, but about the story you tell and presence you make. If I can’t find you, I can’t hear or share your story and I certainly can’t start building a relationship.The suggestion by others that we know what we are talking about does not preclude the tendency for others to attempt to research the validity of that claim.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf - How about some cuddle time first?Social media me monsters send “me messages”, like dm’s and Facebook messages, right after connecting.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – HYPE & HYSTERIAThere is a lot of misinformation, speculation, opinion and hype being spread about online marketing. Worse is the expectation that social media should be free, effortless, and easy, yet produce greater ROI.And marketers are great at coming up with new terms like inbound marketing, content marketing, earned media, permission marketing, or they will say things like SEO is dead and other such nonsense to try and change the story.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – FREE TO USE, NOT DOWhile social media is free to use, it is not free to do. Weigh time and attention against opportunity and return.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – BUDGET & STRATEGYWinning requires knowledge: To win against your competitors in the search optimization game requires some knowledge, unless your competition isn’t trying. It’s easy to win if there is no competition. To win requires an understanding of the rules so you don’t get disqualified. You can be the best driver, but if you are stuck in the back of the pack you will not have a chance to show it. Optimization is part of the race regardless if you have the knowledge or not. Of course you need to decide early on how much winning is worth and what your budget is to go after it. And like most things if you don’t have a strategy, well, we all know how that goes.At this very race a competitor was disqualified for getting a bit too creative with the rules. This is analogous to black hat search optimization techniques.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – THE “SOCIAL THREE”You are here to find out how to add social media into your event marketing mix, but let’s start by actually talking about what I call the “social three”. Why? Because people use these terms interchangeably, when they are not in fact interchangeable. If you think about it we could just remove the “social” moniker off all of these and we would have good old fashion traditional media, networking, and marketing methods. Today we will discuss various aspects of the social sphere and social media optimization. Now the information I present today, much like search engine optimization information, will have a limited shelf life. A scant 7 years ago Facebook was created in a dorm room and now has more users than the population of the United States. A year ago many of you had no idea what Twitter was, now it has gone mainstream and is in countless TV commercials. I could waste the entirety of this seminar just talking about the rise and fall of various social services, percentage of market share, types of people who use each, etc. Instead I am going to breeze by some of those items at a high level, so I can spend more time giving you social marketing tips that will help your business.» social media which represents the tools we use for building followers, friendships, & contacts. Tools like twitter, facebook, linkedin, youtube, friendfeed, Buzz, foursquare, ning, to name only a fraction of the available services. Each have strengths and weaknesses and each need to be evaluated so we can put our time into the ones that will reap the largest ROI. I have both online and offline media tools represented because they are all just visibility tools.» social networking is the day to day interaction we have with contacts built using the various social media tools/services, in other words the “social” part. It is no different then when you attend a party, that you might otherwise pass on, in order to touch base with clients or potential clients. Now some might also toss in social networks, but let’s not make things confusing. Each tool has the potential to reach a percentage of your ideal market segment, group, individuals, or demographic. This is also to extend and optimize your circle of influence.» social marketing is the subtle, or not so subtle, use of one or more online tool to promote your business to the network you have established. Again no different than reminding those people you meet at parties, “hey I build killer websites, you should have me do one for you”. Over simplified? Maybe, but the real reason we’re here is to learn how to put this all into motion. We want to avoid the Me Monster. (me monster by Brian Regan)
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – NO SILVER BULLETSNo marketing media channel has 100% eyeballs or is 100% effective. We need to prioritize based on goals, resources, and business objectives.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – WHAT DO CUSTOMERS PREFER?Social media isn’t about what you prefer, but rather where your ideal audience is listening and can be engaged. Which phone line will you be ignoring today?http://rapportive.com/, http://gist.com/, https://www.xobni.com/, https://www.rapleaf.com/ ($100 to search social for 10,000 emails)
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – DO YOU SEE THE VALUE?Social media works best when you are a willing participant, see value, & treat it like a lifestyle, instead of a task.At the end of the day if you really don’t see and believe in the value, you will not be convinced to participate at a level that is likely to yield results. Social media works best when you are a willing participant, see value, & treat it like a lifestyle, instead of a task.Sometimes people try social media out, as if it isn’t known to work, and quite because they see no return. If they were to be honest, they might see that the effort put in was not sufficient to see those results.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – BUT I DON’T WANT TO MIX BUSINESS WITH MY PERSONAL LIFEBusinesses tell me all the time that they don’t want to mix business with pleasure then they go to conference like this and get hammered in the bar.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – THE PRIVACY EXCUSEBut…my privacy! formerly found on street corners are you really all that invisible who did we do business with 30-40 years ago? distribution does not equal visibility
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – THE PRIVACY EXCUSE PART IIWe give up privacy for opportunity or gain in other ways more frequently than we might realize. surveys on the back of receipts for a cheeseburger your habits tracked and targeted, for rewards
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – GRAB YOUR BRAND/IDENTITYEasy social media brand and identity checks: Use a service like namechk.com to go grab your brands social id’s. I think it is wise for both branding reasons, and for online marketing presence to grab them. If you have an intern, this would be a great task to set them out on. Which ones are important? Which ones don’t you want a competitor or squatter to have? While the backlink value for many is not high, the fact that search engines are constantly crawling these networks is worth noting. This is especially important while the crawl rate on your website is low.Posting links to some of these networks, like twitter.com, friendfeed.com, ning.com, mybloglog.com, and others where the search engines already spend a significant amount of time, can lead to pages being indexed in under an hour radically improving the time it takes for your sites content to be available to potential searchers.Extra credit actions: namechk.com free, http://usernamez.com/ free (?),http://claimid.com/free (?), http://knowem.com/ $$ (400), http://claim.io/welcome $ (300)
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – WHAT KIND OF EVIDNECE DO YOU LEAVE BEHIND?What are you leaving behind? Pictures at parties, thoughts, complaints, and/or hurtful words. An easy rule to go by is, don't put anything online that you wouldn't want to see on a billboard that your mom drives past. And remember your privacy settings don't prevent people that you have let in, from taking things out. photo by: West McGowan - http://www.flickr.com/photos/westm/3379293362/
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – WHAT KIND OF REPUTATION ARE YOU CREATING?Reputations can be hard to shake, especially online. What you post today will likely be visible by someone for a great many tomorrows. So what’s it going to be? Are you going to help others or be an online bully? Will you provide posts that attract or repel the type of attention business owners want?photo by: Horton Goup - hortongroup.com / http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1086602
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – AM I POPULAR AND IMPORTANT YET?Looking at bogus social media analytics and measurement. We also must consider carefully how much weight we put on the types of people we engage with. These are great people to engage with, but they are likely to fill our pride tank before filling the coffers of our companies.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – THIS IS THE WRONG FOCUSWhat do you suppose the chances that any of these bought followers or fans will be someone you could or will do business with? Are they even real?
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – THIS IS ABOUT VANITY, NOT ACCOUNT VITALITYIf 87% of this persons followers have never tweeted, how can they provide any value? Where is the value? This person uses the followback ‘group’, but doesn’t follow back.

- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – OMG! DON’T LET THE INTERN DO IT!Carefully monitor not only the reputation you create, but that which is created about you. While it is certainly wise to question how a lesser experienced person will handle you public facing communication, don’t forget that you cannot control what is said about you by others and that those comments may be far more damning.
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – IS THISE REALLY A GOOD IDEA?Before you run contests and/or utilize new methods of reaching people: Consider the demographic Will participation add frustration if they don’t have an account or can’t access it (no wifi)
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – INVEST IN OWNERSHIPPretend that this is the old west and you can very inexpensively go out and lay claim to a piece of property to call your own. It may seem like a lot right now, but it is the best investment you can make, because it is an investment in yourself. And you’re worth it!

- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – A CLICK IS NOT A BLOOD OATHFacebook events are easy and cheap, but you sacrifice real thoughtful signups, info gathering, and at times a commitment to come. What about people who are not on Facebook?
- // San Francisco #AllFacebookConf – KEEP YOUR TRAFFIC, SEO & VISIBILITY!Embed signup capability via services like eventbriteClients often talk about how hard it is to find things to blog or post news about when in reality they are letting things they are already doing go un-optimized. Don’t give away traffic, search engine optimization and brand visibility to third party sites.
