MEDIA MATTER People put their interests, hobbies, successes, losses, fears, opinions, IN SALES? milestones, and more out there for their network - why not use this information to help improve your sales efforts? STEP ONE: STEP TWO: STEP THREE: OPTIMIZE FIND YOUR TAKE CONTEXT YOUR ACCOUNTS PROSPECTS AND AND TURN IT ENGAGE INTO ACTION OPTIMIZE YOUR ACCOUNTS SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION Social media is a great tool, but it doesn’t mean that every platform is a perfect fit for your business. It’s important to do your research and find out which platform is going to resonate most with your audience. BENEFITS OF EACH PLATFORM SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION Great for starting conversations with current users of your product (set up social monitoring!), research on prospects (political affiliation, hobbies, etc.), thought-leadership, gaining industry knowledge, and company pulse-checks. Great for sharing events and updates, posting job opportunities, networking to gain referrals, allowing organic business- related conversations to blossom, building rapport, and research on prospects. Great for visually-based industries (fashion, food, lifestyle, home, travel, marketing, etc.), building thought-leadership, building rapport, gaining industry knowledge, and research on prospects. Great for starting conversations with prospects, connecting with key decision-makers, networking, thought-leadership, building rapport, research on prospects, company pulse-checks, and building your online resume pitch. WHICH PLATFORM SHOULD I USE? SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION - Fully personal (privacy dependent on preference) - 50/50 mix of personal or business (privacy dependent on preference) - Two accounts: personal (private) & business (public) Should generally be for personal use, not business. Keep everything clean and professional if you plan to use for business. When a business relationship ventures into personal, with caution it may be appropriate to add friends. Personal decision on whether or not to accept friend requests from business connections. - Fully personal (privacy dependent on preference) - 50/50 mix of personal or business (privacy dependent on preference) - Two accounts: personal (private) & business (public) Should exclusively be used for professional reasons. Feel free to connect with anyone in your industry. This is your online resume and company calling card and not a place to overshare. WHICH PLATFORM SHOULD I USE? SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION SOURCE: https://www.forrester.com/report/The+Social+Behaviors+Of+Your+B2B+Customers/-/E-RES99721 BUSINESS VS. PERSONAL SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION Using Social Media for business is tough because there is a thin line between what’s appropriate to share with your friends and family but what is NOT appropriate to share with your colleagues and customers. WHAT IS APPROPRIATE TO SHARE? SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION YES NO Company news, event photos, press releases Political Affiliation / opinions Vacation photo update Personal information Awards / Achievements Questionable photos Networking requests Personal struggles & rants Featured presentations, podcasts, webinars, etc. Negative or disrespectful comments Articles that promote thought-leadership Vulgar language or derogatory remarks Customer success stories Poor grammar and typos ACCOUNT SETUP: BEST PRACTICES SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION For any social media account that you are planning on using for business, here are some best practices to follow: USE YOUR REAL NAME INCLUDE YOUR BUSINESS INFORMATION KEEP YOUR PROFILE / BIO SIMPLE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD KEEP UP A CONSISTENT POSTING FREQUENCY USE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTO AS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE PRIVACY SETTINGS SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION Part of using social media for business is deciding who should see what, and which platforms are best for which types of updates. If using any social media platform for business, keep your profile as public as you feel comfortable with. You want your prospects and customers to be able to find you. If you’re only using a social media platform for personal use, or you have two accounts (one personal and one business) - keep the profiles private. It’s also important to respect your prospects’ privacy. If they don’t want to use their social media accounts for business, that’s okay (more on that later). KNOW WHEN TO QUIT SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION Sometimes, social media is just not a good fit for certain companies, industries, or regions. How will you know? Research your competitors to find out what platforms they are using, their strategies, their response rates, the types of content that resonates in your industry, etc. See if your prospects and customers are active on social media for their businesses. See if thought-leaders are engaged and active online, and have a community of followers. Even if you aren’t using social media for yourself to do business, it’s so important to be plugged into your industry online through social media - even as a passive recipient. STEP ONE: STEP TWO: STEP THREE: OPTIMIZING FINDING YOUR TAKING CONTEXT YOUR ACCOUNT PROSPECTS AND AND TURNING IT ENGAGING INTO ACTION ENGAGEMENT FINDING YOUR PROSPECTS AND ENGAGING Whether using a current account or a brand new account, the name of the game in social media is ENGAGEMENT. Engagement means that you are thoughtfully interacting with accounts you follow on a consistent basis. HOW TO ENGAGE FINDING YOUR PROSPECTS AND ENGAGING Engagement is based on a few things: LIKING POSTS COMMENTING ON POSTS / PHOTOS SHARING POSTS / RETWEETING FOLLOWING NEW ACCOUNTS / PROFILES ENGAGEMENT IS A TWO-WAY STREET FINDING YOUR PROSPECTS AND ENGAGING When using any social media account for business, engagement is a two-way street. It’s not just how much you’re interacting with accounts online - it’s also how much you are publishing on your own account and how much your followers are engaging with your content. Not only do social media platforms prioritize engaged accounts over non-engaged accounts - in

  • Figure 1 Timeline of the Launch Dates of Many Major Snss and Dates When Community Sites Re-Launched with SNS Features
    Figure 1 Timeline of the launch dates of many major SNSs and dates when community sites re-launched with SNS features 212 Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication 13 (2008) 210–230 ª 2008 International Communication Association Beyond profiles, Friends, comments, and private messaging, SNSs vary greatly in their features and user base. Some have photo-sharing or video-sharing capabilities; others have built-in blogging and instant messaging technology. There are mobile- specific SNSs (e.g., Dodgeball), but some web-based SNSs also support limited mobile interactions (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, and Cyworld). Many SNSs target people from specific geographical regions or linguistic groups, although this does not always determine the site’s constituency. Orkut, for example, was launched in the United States with an English-only interface, but Portuguese-speaking Brazilians quickly became the dominant user group (Kopytoff, 2004). Some sites are designed with specific ethnic, religious, sexual orientation, political, or other identity-driven categories in mind. There are even SNSs for dogs (Dogster) and cats (Catster), although their owners must manage their profiles. While SNSs are often designed to be widely accessible, many attract homoge- neous populations initially, so it is not uncommon to find groups using sites to segregate themselves by nationality, age, educational level, or other factors that typically segment society (Hargittai, this issue), even if that was not the intention of the designers. A History of Social Network Sites The Early Years According to the definition above, the first recognizable social network site launched in 1997. SixDegrees.com allowed users to create profiles, list their Friends and, beginning in 1998, surf the Friends lists.

  • A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions
    Virtual Online Communities: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adrian M. Budiman August 2008 This dissertation titled Virtual Communities Online: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions by ADRIAN M. BUDIMAN has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Drew McDaniel Professor of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract BUDIMAN, ADRIAN M., Ph.D., August 2008, Mass Communication Virtual Online Communities: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions (167 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel The aim of this research was to better understand virtual online communities (VOCs), that is, communities that are formed and maintained through the Internet. This research was guided by four research questions: What do participants in VOCs actually seek? How does a participant critically evaluate information produced in VOCs? What differences do VOC members perceive between their online community experiences compared to their experiences in real-life face-to-face communities? In what ways might a VOC shape its members’ views toward political and social change? The methodology employed was participant observation of 20 informants within their online and offline realms plus in-depth interviews with each informant. Interviews and observations were conducted from 2005 – 2007. This research identified two different types of VOCs: dependent and self- contained VOCs. Dependent VOCs act as extensions to already existent face-to-face communities while self-sustained VOCs are communities where relationships between members are formed, developed, and nurtured purely through virtual encounters on the Internet based on shared interests.

It has increased drastically during the last few years, and there are still a lot of questions about what this means, and how this new media affects communication. This study focuses on young people of 11-13, i.e.the age between children and teenagers, also called tweens. In a large study, the overall aim is to see what communication in the Internet community LunarStorm means to them in their social life. This particular paper reports on the content of the asynchronous communication in the participants’ digital guest books, which is one of the main channels for communication between the participants. A group of 15 tweens from a small village in Sweden were studied when communicating in Sweden’s largest Internet community, LunarStorm. The research method used was what is usually described as cyber ethnography.

  • Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship
    Social Network Sites: Definition, History, and Scholarship danah m. boyd [email protected] School of Information University of California-Berkeley Nicole B. Ellison [email protected] Department of Telecommunication, Information Studies, and Media Michigan State University Abstract Introduction Social Network Sites: A Definition A History of Social Network Sites Previous Scholarship Overview of this Special Theme Section Future Research Acknowledgments Notes References About the Authors Abstract Social network sites (SNSs) are increasingly attracting the attention of academic and industry researchers intrigued by their affordances and reach. This special theme section of the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication brings together scholarship on these emergent phenomena. In this introductory article, we describe features of SNSs and propose a comprehensive definition. We then present one perspective on the history of such sites, discussing key changes and developments. After briefly summarizing existing scholarship concerning SNSs, we discuss the articles in this special section and conclude with considerations for future research. Introduction Since their introduction, social network sites (SNSs) such as MySpace, Facebook, Cyworld, and Bebo have attracted millions of users, many of whom have integrated these sites into their daily practices. As of this writing, there are hundreds of SNSs, with various technological affordances, supporting a wide range of interests and practices. While their key technological features are fairly consistent, the cultures that emerge around SNSs are varied. Most sites support the maintenance of pre-existing social networks, but others help strangers connect based on shared interests, political views, or activities. Some sites cater to diverse audiences, while others attract people based on common language or shared racial, sexual, religious, or nationality-based identities.
