HMM Social Media Networking
Relationships are a
two-way street
 Just like real world they have to
be built
 You get out of social media
what you put in
 Be responsive by answering
questions & following back
 Credibility takes time
Quality Not Quantity
 Be sure to add value
 It’s a conversation, don’t talk at
people, talk with people
 Be
B extra
t responsive
i tto your
followers that are most engaged
with you
HMM Social Media Networking
Be sure social networking tools
are tied to your mission
 If your target audience isn’t active
or engaged on a specific tool,
tool
pursue other tools
 Measure each tool and tie it back to
your goals
 Adjust your tactics as necessary to
reach your goals

Personal vs. Organizational Branding
 Remember people buy from
people, so personal branding (or
reputation) is critical
 Determine up front if you are
acting
ti on b
behalf
h lf off yourself
lf or
your organization/company
 If a specific person in your
organization builds a following
and then leaves, followers do too
 Own your own company profile
and login information
Grow Organically
Start small and grow
 Consider expectations of the audience for a
specific social media tool:
 LinkedIn (professional posts, answers to
questions)
q
 Twitter (brief posts, engagement)
 Facebook (posts, photos, videos,
engagement)
 Pick one tool to start with, try it 2-3 times
per week for 8-12 weeks
 Evaluate if the tool is supporting your
goals
Better to have 100 quality followers who are engaged with you and
your brand, than a 1,000 that are not listening to your message!
