Social media is rapidly becoming the marketing tool of choice for businesses of all sizes. But for small businesses, tools like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest are even more important, since they’re affordable to use (they just require the time to manage the accounts) and are a great place to connect with customers. Social media helps brands engage with consumers. What that means is that instead of forcing a customer to watch a commercial, view a print ad or click an online banner ad, a company can talk to customers directly (and believe us: they like being heard!). They can get feedback from customers about their experiences, as well as their thoughts about new products. Companies can find out quickly when a customer is unhappy through social media, and can take steps to remedy the situation. For customers, social media provides a great way to learn more about a company. A Facebook page for a brand, for example, might offer photos or videos of a product a person is considering buying. She might find that the company is hosting a contest that she then enters and tells her friends about. Social media creates a degree of trust between brands and consumers that you simply can’t get anywhere else. “But I Don’t Know The First Thing About Tweeting!” Fortunately, social media is easy enough to pick up, and because the tools are free, it fits perfectly into your small business budget (which is likely pretty small). That being said, if you don’t have the time to manage your own social media, you can hire a freelancer or marketing agency to handle it on your company’s behalf. It all comes down to what you have more of: time or money. Social media is great because it’s easy to measure what sources send traffic to your site using Google Analytics (also free). You’ll get a report of which sites referred traffic to yours, so you can see if your efforts on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube or Pinterest are netting the results you want. If they’re not, you can easily shift gears and change your focus. Social Media is All About Branding All that being said, however, keep in mind that social media marketing isn’t about instantly doubling your sales. It’s about building trust and relationships with potential and existing customers. You do that by providing value, not sharing link after link about how great your products are and self promoting. 2 Get Social: Small Business' Guide to Social Media Success We’ll get into what you should share on each social site later in this guide, but the big picture is: valuable content. Whether that’s a link to a blog post (whether you wrote it or not), a video or a photo, it should deliver value to your followers. They should want to click those links because they know what you share is good stuff. The Big Players We’ll go in detail on each of these social networking tools, but to begin, let’s get an overview of the primary players in the social media space. Keep in mind: these will likely change, and others will be added to this list over time, simply because there are constant innovations in social media technology. • Twitter: great for sharing links and short comments in 140 characters or less. • Facebook: good for longer posts, videos and images. • Google+: great for sharing blog links and starting dialogue about them. • LinkedIn: groups are great for creating conversations around a specific topic of interest. • YouTube: excellent for sharing how-to videos. • Pinterest: ideal for sharing images that relate to the lifestyle your brand portrays. CorpNetNellie’s Social Media Tips 1. Social Isn’t the Place for the Hard Sell It’s hard to resist sometimes, but keeping the hard sell out of social media is the best strategy. Keep only 5-10% of your social media activity as self-promotional, and focus the rest of your efforts on growing trust. 2. You Don’t Have to be Everywhere There’s a lot going on in the social world, and you’ll make yourself crazy if you try to be everywhere. Instead, focus on one or two of the channels most relevant to your business (i.e. where your customers are) and dedicate your efforts there. Remember that having profiles that you never update makes your brand look shoddy, so in this case, less is more. 3. You Don’t Have to Keep Up With the Big Brands You’ll never have the deep pockets of a corporation, so don’t try to mimic big brands in their social media efforts, especially contests. Rather than giving away 10 iPads, which you probably can’t afford, give away products you can afford, and that your customers will appreciate. 3 Get Social: Small Business' Guide to Social Media Success 4. Social Media Isn’t “Free” While yes, it’s free to set up a Twitter or Facebook account, remember that it will cost you: in time and effort. Social media requires constant commitment, from keeping fresh content on your accounts to engaging your community. Unless you consider your time (or the time of your employees) worthless, there is cost involved with social media. For example, if it takes one employee approximately ten hours a week to manage social media accounts, you can assign a hard cost to the effort. 5. Don’t Measure Success by Follower Counts Starbucks has more than 1.3 million followers on Twitter. You probably don’t, and that’s okay. As a small business, you shouldn’t get caught up in the numbers game or try to keep up with the big brands. Growing your community is important, but you should be focused on who’s engaging with you and at what levels. It’s tempting to pay a service that promises to deliver thousands of followers literally overnight. However, in the long run it’s more important to have a devoted, enthusiastic community. Be patient. It’s organic growth that matters. Things don’t (and won’t) happen overnight. 6. Learn From the Experts There are some great companies and brands doing great things with social media, so there’s no reason for you to reinvent the wheel. Get ideas for your own social media campaigns by seeing what other companies in your space (or other industries) are doing. But don’t be a copycat! Just because something worked for one company doesn’t mean it’s going to work for your community, and of course, copying isn’t ethical. Find your own path, but take notes along the way. How to Use This Guide We at CorpNet.com designed this guide to help you set up your social media accounts as well as develop a strategy for connecting with potential customers. We’ve broken the chapters down by each social media platform (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube and Pinterest). At the end of each chapter are Terms to Know. If, while reading the chapter you come across a word you’re not familiar with, flip ahead to the end of the chapter to find out its meaning. 4 Get Social: Small Business' Guide to Social Media Success Chapter 1: Getting Started on Twitter Twitter allows you to share updates in 140 characters or less. You’ll quickly learn how to say what you need to say in as few words as possible! You can follow others who have similar interests as you, potential customers or even competitors, and others can follow you. Creating a Twitter Account If you don’t yet have a Twitter account set up for your business, set one up here. Go ahead. We’ll wait. Fill out your profile in detail and include a link to your site, as well as your company logo or a photo of yourself. When creating your Twitter name, choose wisely. If you’re representing your company, go with your company name, or an abbreviation of it. If you’re branding yourself, you can use your own name. For example, we use @CorpNet to brand our company, but our very own CEO, Nellie Akalp, has her own Twitter account as @CorpNetNellie. Sometimes the content overlaps, but mostly it doesn’t. The company account is the voice of the company, whereas Nellie has her own distinct voice on Twitter. CorpNetNellie’s Twitter Tips • You don’t have to follow everyone who follows you. Focus instead on people who have similar interests, are in the same or parallel industries, or who have talked about your brand or type of product. • Go beyond those that follow you and actively follow others. There’s no exact science to it, but aim to follow more than the number of people who follow you. • Use Twitter etiquette at all times! Pretend you’re at a dinner party. Don’t just talk about yourself! Ask about the other person as well, and focus on providing valuable comments.

Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Joe Bob Hester Donald Lewis Shaw Francesca Carpentier Justin H. Gross Jaime Arguello © 2014 Chris J. Vargo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Chris J. Vargo: Brand Messages On Twitter: Predicting Diffusion With Textual Characteristics (Under the direction of Joe Bob Hester) This dissertation assesses brand messages (i.e. tweets by a brand) on Twitter and the characteristics that predict the amount of engagement (a.k.a. interaction) a tweet receives. Attention is given to theories that speak to characteristics observable in text and how those characteristics affect retweet and favorite counts. Three key concepts include sentiment, arousal and concreteness. For positive sentiment, messages appeared overly positive, but still a small amount of the variance in favorites was explained. Very few tweets had strong levels of arousal, but positive arousal still explained a small amount of the variance in retweet counts. Despite research suggesting that concreteness would boost sharing and interest, concrete tweets were retweeted and shared less than vague tweets. Vagueness explained a small amount of the variance in retweet and favorite counts. The presence of hashtags and images boosted retweet and favorite counts, and also explained variance. Finally, characteristics of the brand itself (e.g.

  • Twitter, Myspace and Facebook Demystified - by Ted Janusz
    Twitter, MySpace and Facebook Demystified - by Ted Janusz Q: I hear people talking about Web sites like Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. What are they? And, even more importantly, should I be using them to promote oral implantology? First, you are not alone. A recent survey showed that 70 percent of American adults did not know enough about Twitter to even have an opinion. Tools like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace are components of something else you may have heard people talking about: Web 2.0 , a popular term for Internet applications in which the users are actively engaged in creating and distributing Web content. Web 1.0 probably consisted of the Web sites you saw back in the late 90s, which were nothing more than fancy electronic brochures. Web 1.5 would have been something like Amazon or eBay, sites on which one could buy, sell and leave reviews. What Web 3.0 will look like is anybody's guess! Let's look specifically at the three applications that you mentioned. Tweet, Tweet Twitter - "Twitter is like text messaging, only you can also do it from the Web," says Dan Tynan, the author of the Tynan on Technology blog. "Instead of sending a message to just one person, you can send it to thousands of people at once. You can choose to follow anyone's update (called "tweets") simply by clicking the Follow button on their profile, or vice-versa. The only rule is that each tweet can be no longer than 140 characters." Former CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey once accepted an award for Twitter by saying, "We'd like to thank you in 140 characters or less.

    GOOGLE+ PRO TIPS Google+ allows you to connect with your audience in a plethora of new ways. It combines features from some of the more popular platforms into one — supporting GIFs like Tumblr and, before Facebook jumped on board, supporting hashtags like Twitter — but Google+ truly shines with Hangouts and Events. As part of our Google Apps for Education agreement, NYU students can easily opt-in to Google+ using their NYU emails, creating a huge potential audience. KEEP YOUR POSTS TIDY While there isn’t a 140-character limit, keep posts brief, sharp, and to the point. Having more space than Twitter doesn’t mean you should post multiple paragraphs; use Twitter’s character limit as a good rule of thumb for how much your followers are used to consuming at a glance. When we have a lot to say, we create a Tumblr post, then share a link to it on Google+. REMOVE LINKS AFTER LINK PREVIEW Sharing a link on Google+ automatically creates a visually appealing link preview, which means you don’t need to keep the link in your text. There may be times when you don’t want a link preview, in which case you can remove the preview but keep the link. Whichever you prefer, don’t keep both.

  • Xiaohongshu RED Guide
    Your Guide To XiaoHongShu Published by Elaine Wong, Lauren Hallanan, and Miro Li 3 December 2018 Why We Created This Report Despite Xiaohongshu generating a lot of buzz in 2018, most of the English language content (and even much of the Chinese language content) continues to give a macro, high-level view of the platform with very few specifics. Why that is, we’re not sure, but there is clearly a need for a more in-depth explanation because, to be frank, most people still don’t truly understand the platform. So we took it upon ourselves to create this guide. Throughout this year we’ve observed that many brands feel lost and unsure when it comes to marketing on Xiaohongshu. That’s understandable based on the fact that it is a highly localized and comparatively new platform and most lack the experience using it. As a result, they fail to grasp what sets it apart, what makes it tick. In this report we attempt to explain what makes Xiaohongshu distinct, why the platform has become popular, and how to create the right style of content for the platform. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out, our contact information is located at the end of the report! What is Xiaohongshu? Xiaohongshu () also known as “Little Red Book” or “RED” is one of the largest and fastest growing social e- commerce apps in China. Xiaohongshu describes itself as “a sharing platform for young people's lifestyles through deep-rooted UGC shopping sharing community The platform is designed to help users discover and purchase products, share recommendations, and provide helpful tips.

  • Effectiveness of Dismantling Strategies on Moderated Vs. Unmoderated
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Efectiveness of dismantling strategies on moderated vs. unmoderated online social platforms Oriol Artime1*, Valeria d’Andrea1, Riccardo Gallotti1, Pier Luigi Sacco2,3,4 & Manlio De Domenico 1 Online social networks are the perfect test bed to better understand large-scale human behavior in interacting contexts. Although they are broadly used and studied, little is known about how their terms of service and posting rules afect the way users interact and information spreads. Acknowledging the relation between network connectivity and functionality, we compare the robustness of two diferent online social platforms, Twitter and Gab, with respect to banning, or dismantling, strategies based on the recursive censor of users characterized by social prominence (degree) or intensity of infammatory content (sentiment). We fnd that the moderated (Twitter) vs. unmoderated (Gab) character of the network is not a discriminating factor for intervention efectiveness. We fnd, however, that more complex strategies based upon the combination of topological and content features may be efective for network dismantling. Our results provide useful indications to design better strategies for countervailing the production and dissemination of anti- social content in online social platforms. Online social networks provide a rich laboratory for the analysis of large-scale social interaction and of their social efects1–4. Tey facilitate the inclusive engagement of new actors by removing most barriers to participate in content-sharing platforms characteristic of the pre-digital era5. For this reason, they can be regarded as a social arena for public debate and opinion formation, with potentially positive efects on individual and collective empowerment6.

To inform this process, LMCC invited six artists and arts professionals effectively using social media to share their approaches, successes, and lessons learned. LOWER MANHATTAN CULTURAL COUNCIL (LMCC): Briefly describe your work as an artist and any other roles or affiliations you have as an arts professional.

  • Content Social Media
    content & social media CONTENT & SOCIAL MEDIA / 1 Introduction A couple of years ago, people were more insistent on keeping content marketing and social media marketing divided as clearly separate entities. However, as social media platforms have evolved and the ways in which brands communicate have changed to reflect such changes, the concepts of content vs social have started to blur. Ultimately, it doesn’t really matter if you’re writing a blog or you’re writing a social media post - both are content and both have the potential of helping you generate traffic, leads and sales. In the realm of social media, content is simply approached in a different way. You’re not writing an 800-word blog (at least not typically), rather you’re publishing shorter, easier- to-digest posts. Some may be text, others may be photos or videos, some may be a combination of these types. Depending on the platform, the kind of content you can craft also changes drastically. A simple example is Twitter’s restrictive 140-character limit per tweet - a parameter that essentially makes it a social microblog. CONTENT & SOCIAL MEDIA / 2 In this eBook, we will be looking at some of the most important points to remember when it comes to creating content on social media. These include: • IDENTIFYING AND UNDERSTANDING THE QUIRKS OF DIFFERENT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS - Facebook - Twitter - LinkedIn - Instagram - Google+ • CONSIDERING YOUR CONTENT - Text posts - Media / Photos & Videos - External links • THE IMPORTANCE OF CONSISTENCY CONTENT & SOCIAL MEDIA / 3 understanding thE Quirks of your social media platform Here’s a list of just some of the SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS out there: Facebook Tumblr Twitter Snapchat LinkedIn Pinterest Instagram Myspace (yes, it still exists) Vine YouTube Google+ And potentially hundreds of other, smaller and lesser-known social networks The number is overwhelming, but the good news is that you can cut this list down to some of its key players.
