Launching a Galactic Social Media Empire How do YOU launch a GALACTIC social media empire? 1.  Know your coolness factor.

•  Everyone has something unique and wonderful to share. •  Take the time to figure it out.

2.  Know the community you want to engage with. •  Learn to speak their language.

3.  If you don’t have an niche community, create one. •  Go where they are. •  Find what they care about. •  Connect the dots.

4.  Make it easy for your community to love you. •  Give your them back stage passes. •  Let them create their own experiences. •  Get them SO jazzed they overflow into all their networks.

5.  If you find something doesn’t work, try something else. •  It’s really ok to experiment. It’s YOUR empire, after all.
