50 Steps to Establishing a Consistent Social Media Practice | chrisbrogan.com SAVE
PEOPLE
# Pick 3 social networks to join based on where your customers might be. 3 might sound like too few, but it probably will be too many. # On those networks and on your “passport” accounts, make sure you link everything back to the blog. # Get a second (maybe even a 3rd) person in the company to build accounts on these places. Nice to have backups, in case you get busy. # Build an editorial calendar to think about your posting schedule and subject matter. # Subscribe to 50 or more blogs in a similar space as yours, including competitors, and any industry blogs. # On all your presence points, be human, and write a human-sounding profile. Use a human-seeming profile picture. (Did I mention “human?”) # After you’ve written your first blog post, take some time to comment on some of those 50 blogs, but NOT about your first post.TAGS
