3. Who owns your brand online?
• Who’s behind the avatars?
• Who writes the rules about what they can and can’t say?
• Where do they get their information?
• What if what they’re saying isn’t nice or isn’t true?
• Can I stop them?
• How do I participate and change the conversation?
4. Participation in three parts
* Listen (responsibly) to
what’s being said about
you and the things you
care about
* Show up … and bring
something to the party
* Make -- and keep -- friends
and fans
(bonus advice: keep an eye on your enemies too)
6. * Social voice is a basic right – credibility must
be earned
* Opportunity can knock softly; influence does
not always roar
* Get data. And pay attention to it
* Start with your fans. You already know who
they are
So many bloggers … so little time
8. * This is NOT a short-term strategy
* The truth is out there. Just ask!
* Credible, passionate advocacy can’t be bought
* However … influence has value and blogging is a
business
* Use real people to build real relationships
Building advocacy
10. * Have a great social footprint with compelling content
and high engagement. Then recognize that it’s not
enough
* Let the data lead you to the people who are driving
the conversation about your company and causes
* If you’re in, you’re in for the long haul. Be committed
or don’t do it
* Show up. Be real. Build relationships
Your takeaways
11. Any questions?
