Steps for Social Media Presence•If you have a profile in any of the following channels you have taken the initial step of being part of social media channels where organizations/people can follow you or be part of your conversations.

Not being part of social media • Losing a potential 225 million size audience. • Losing the ability to use Influencers to re-

share your information • Unable to use the 4.74 degree of separation,

people cannot view what the organization provides

• Facebook - • Youtube - • Google + - • LinkedIn - • Twitter - • SlideShare - • Pintrest-

• Images that have the main logo of the organization have more value

• Adding a # (hashtag) creates a data element to identify information.

• When news facts are shared a quote from an important figure wheels the audience understand the excitement of the news.

• The what and how is shared is important.

• When a post is shared with redirecting information to another audience, the post will lose momentum.

• For example "This is a fascinating video of ___________ speaking about at a recent ______ Conference. If you are a fellow or resident, in particular, this is worth your time!"

• The moment it said "if you are fellow or resident" this lost the rest of the audience creating the thought this is not for me to watch.

• Redirection of an audience has a lost 50% of your audience.

• Post lacks connection, # will allow people also to search more post related to the organization

Things to improve• How information is shared

• Images must represent organization with logo

• Provided News must have a quote

• followup and re-shares of symposiums post are important for momentum

• if a video is shared it will be great to add information about other publications related to the topic

• Increase the number of people that like what is shared

• add profiles in Facebook, linkedIn, Twitter, Google +, and pint rest

• add social media links to the webpage

• create a follow the doctor twitter event will increase momentum to the page.

• create live videos from the conference, presentations - quick snippets to promote.

• Collaborate with major organizations to decimate presentations/conferences in their page increasing the numbers and reputation for the organization.

• I have 1500 followers with in nine industries.

• 300 are in healthcare.

• Train staff to post during the day and conferences.

• Therefore, creating a team of social media people to post in our events.

• This allows momentum of the conference to improve the number of followers.

• Creating a linkedIn profile has the potential to attract 280K people in Cardiovascular services.

What I can do?
