Social Media Anxiety...Get Over It

Social Media Anxiety...Get Over It | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

Social Media Anxiety
Got to love social media. First social media has to prove it matters and isn't just a game then people worry about "doing it wrong". Yes there are "wrong" ways to create social media content...remember when we all started sharing exactly what was happening in the moment? Don't do that anymore.

Next we had the quote stage and now we seem to be getting the idea of how to surf social media. Some still have anxiety about jumping in or doing the wrong thing. 

The half-life a tweet is hours. Remember you are in an ocean of content, so surf don't try to hold, compress or rule it. Here is another anti-anxiety pill for SMM. Look around, I've yet to follow or RT someone so brilliant I shouldn't be allowed in the same social space (lol). Yes they are out there, but I may never find them :).  

Social media is the great level. What you can SEE and FEEL fast is we all have the same obsessions, fears, strengths, weaknesses, doubts and frustrations. Social shows our humanity in all its glory and aspirations.  

 
Here is the other issue. If you are an Internet marketer, and who isn't these days, then social media anxiety can HURT. Don't let your "Sistine Chapel" perfectionism stop you from making social media mud pies. M

Word-of-mouth marketing is great for every type of business, but it truly is the life blood of small businesses.

Just like they say 1 bad bit of publicity will reach far more people faster that all the good Word of Mouth publicity, you need to constantly be working on building up that life blood of any small or entreprenuerial business.

Why the f*** do I need a Google+ account to comment on a video?

Why the f*** do I need a Google+ account to comment on a video? | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim has shared his thoughts on the new Google+ commenting system that was introduced to the video-sharing site earlier this week. In short, he’s not very impressed. More than eight years after uploading the first ever YouTube video, he wrote on his channel: “Why the f*** do I need a Google+ account to comment on a video?”

While it’s possible that Karim’s account was hacked and this post was, in fact, published by somebody else, the likelihood is that these thoughts were his own.

What Extremely Successful People Were Doing At Age 25

What Extremely Successful People Were Doing At Age 25 | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

Some people know what they want to do from an early age and focus on it relentlessly.

 

Others reinvent themselves, changing careers and industries until they find something that works.

Alessandro Rea's insight:

Billionaire Mark Cuban struggled when he first started, writing in “How To Win At The Sport Of Business“ that “when I got to Dallas, I was struggling — sleeping on the floor with six guys in a three-bedroom apartment.”

As a reminder that the path to success is not always linear, we’ve highlighted what Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, and 17 other fascinating and successful people were doing at age 25.

Curate Topic-Specific News Channels on Twitter with Custom Timelines

Curate Topic-Specific News Channels on Twitter with Custom Timelines | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

Twitter has just announced the availability of a new feature that will be gradually rolled out to all Twitter users and which allows you to create custom curated Twitter channels on any topic you want.


Via Robin Good
Alessandro Rea's insight:

But you need not wait.

 

To start using immediately Twitter Timelines what you need to do is to head over to https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ and to register yourself for the free web app owned by Twitter.

 

Once you are logged in, all you need to do is to click on the leftmost vertical icon-bar on the + sign, and then to select Create Custom Timelines from the ensuing dialog box. 

 

Once you have created a Custom Timeline all you need to do to populate it is to manually drag tweets from your others news/tweets gathering columns into it.

 

Once created in Tweetdeck any Custom Timeline is immediately visible inside Twitter at a dedicated URL and can be easily shared or embedded inside any site or blog.

 

My comments: The Twitter Custom Timelines feature opens up a universe of possibilities for curated news channels, and other highly specialized thematic channels. Finally there is the opportunity not to have to consume stories and news that are completely irrelevant to your interests simply because they come from someone you follow. By following highly specific custom timelines it is now possible to consume only the type of content you are truly interested into from your favorite trusted curators.

 

 

Free to use.

 

Try it out now: https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/ ;

Hoping this facility will soon be available to use on aggregators other than Tweetdeck (which I don't use).  Looks useful, particularly for themed storytelling. #socmed #curation

10 Tips to Grow Your Facebook Audience and Interaction

10 Tips to Grow Your Facebook Audience and Interaction | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

Roughly 80 percent of businesses are on Facebook, according to a recent survey.  Local or national based, Facebook can improve your company on multiple levels.  How do you amplify your reach and exposure?  Here’s a list of ten ways to help improve your Facebook page and the amount of interaction you will see on your page

Alessandro Rea's insight:

1.       Advertise in-store and online: put a Facebook badge on your website.  Hopefully people are visiting your website, and then in turn they’ll go and visit your Facebook page.  Advertise at your company, even if it’s a headquarters.  Be as visible as possible.

2.       Let your partners know.  This can be done by changing your email signature or business card.  Include a Facebook badge that includes a link to your page.  The word should spread about your Facebook page in no time (assuming you are following the next couple of tips below).

3.       Timeliness.  Make sure you are posting on Facebook at times when people are online, and will be able to view your post.  For this to happen you must know your audience – when are they online?

4.       Post multiple times.  Some people only log on during the morning, or at night etc.  Alternate your posts from morning to night.  Keep a schedule that tracks what posts were going out in the morning, and which were going out at night.

5.       Photos are awesome.  Photos require no work for the viewer, and are widely known as the best way to gain interaction among followers.

6.       Videos are a close second.  This requires more work on the end of the viewer.  Use an attractive description, and make sure there is a thumbnail…otherwise don’t use it!  Keep it simple and short; make the video speaks for itself.

7.       Utilize Facebook polls.  They aren’t widely known about, but when they are used you will be generally surprised about the results.  Make sure the vote is worthwhile, and not a question that has no “meat” to it.

8.       Make use of analytics.  Facebook Insights is made available to you directly on your page. See what kind of people you are reaching, who is looking at your posts, what kind of posts are doing better than other, and learn from the work you have already done.

9.       Share other companies’ content.  A share for a share can go a long way.  Just starting out, or have a couple followers?  Share someone’s photo, video etc.  Tag them in the post and give them credit – maybe they’ll follow you and share some of the cool content you are pumping out!

10.   Specials.  These reel people in!   Specials, discounts etc. are all great ways to get people to like your page.  Even better are pages that force people to like your page before redeeming the offer (there’s software for this).

Combined, these 10 tips will take your Facebook page from average to outstanding and you don’t have to be a social media whiz to utilize them!

Social Media Top Brands: i migliori brand su Facebook e Twitter (ottobre 2013)

Social Media Top Brands: i migliori brand su Facebook e Twitter (ottobre 2013) | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it

Durante ottobre abbiamo analizzato in totale più di 73 Milioni di interazioni sulle pagine Facebook e sui profili Twitter di brand che si rivolgono ad un pubblico italiano.

Alessandro Rea's insight:

Le classifiche di engagement vedono una netta prevalenza dei media, tradizionali e non, che riescono a stimolare efficacemente la partecipazione degli utenti.


Al primo posto per Page Engagement su Facebook troviamo ancora la pagina del quotidiano Libero con241,9 interazioni ogni mille fan, mentre al secondo posto abbiamo la new entry BeautYdea con 206. Su Twitter invece la metrica del Total Engagement premia il profilo della Juventus che raccoglie in totale oltre 166 mila interazioni tra retweet, reply, favorite e citazioni; tra le new entry segnaliamo il profilo dello show televisivo di Sky X Factor a quota 66 mila, protagonista dell’emergente fenomeno della Social TV(gli spettatori conversano tra di loro e con il brand durate la messa in onda del programma).
