Right now it’s set to post to my personal Twitter account (see how it’s brighter?) , but I could also click the first one and post to my Facebook at the same time – or switch to the North Alabama Chapter of PRCA

NOW LET’S TALK MONITORING

Page 26: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Ways to Monitor Social Media

• Use Google Alerts

Page 27: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Go to Google.com/alerts and sign up for email alerts to be sent to you. 

Whenever the key words that you enter in as your ’search terms’ show up on the world’s largest search engine you will be notified in your inbox. 

You can also use this tactic to monitor what is going on with your competition.

Page 28: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Ways to Monitor Social Media

• Use Social Mention

Page 29: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Social Mention does the exact same thing as Google Alerts but specifically monitors social media chatter. 

Enter your search terms, click on which media sources you want to watch, all done through email notifications

5 mistakes that turn people away

Page 35: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Mistake #1: 

Talk about Yourself.

Relentlessly.

Page 36: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

“Too many companies treat social platforms as conventional 

one‐way communication channels, rather than a medium for genuine 

dialogue with customers.”

Social Media Explorer founder Jason Falls.

Page 38: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Mistake #2: Ignore Your Fans

Page 39: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Mistake #3: 

Ignore Complaints.

Page 43: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Mistake #4: 

Break Your Promises.

Page 44: Facebook Beginner Tips to Save Time Feb 2011

Mistake #5: Just Make Noise.

People are willing to give a LIMITED amount of their attention to advertising or promotional messages.  But they want it to be relevant to them.  And they really want it only in exchange for free or cheap content. 

So what are you giving people in exchange for their attention?
