Hi Annetta,
You’ve made a valid point in this post. Social media is, indeed, the buzzword of today as well as the future. So many people, so much of talk and so many topics being discussed.
Although, a question for you is that, for a person beginning on the social media platform, how does the person begin in this huge ocean of information? What does the person do to get his/her voice heard?
Regards.
Jay

Thank you Jay for the comment!
Unless you are a celebrity, we all start in the social media with ‘no friends” or fans. Being yourself and reflecting your true personality in social media is the key to grow. Pretending to be someone else may help you increase your fan-base but not for long.
Few questions you need to ask yourself before you jump into this huge ocean:
Why am I here?
Is it going to add any value to me and to my friends or fans?

Hi good article just like to add. that social media means engaging not auto media. I am on the top 4 platforms and the amount of auto message.sent is a joke. Twitter-google plus-pintrest-and facebook are all different what works on one may not work on another. Get social and stop auto
kevin recently posted..How Do I Build Muscle
He Kevin, I can relate to what you are saying. Businesses however MUST find a balance, because time is money. And auto simply cost less. And since there is no good evidence or research about ROI it’s always a business choice. In my opinion a tradeoff. The part that can never be auto is getting to know the sentiment of the valuable customers and to “control” that sentiment.

Kevin, very good point about being going automated in Social Media. The topic is a large area for bigger discussion. However here are my thoughts.
As you grow your followers and fans you may need a bit of automation, specially with Twitter. When you have a huge followers and you want to be grateful to all your followers by Reteeting or sharing the content—I think it is ok to go for automation .
To be honest, I do automation with Twitter. I have my tweets scheduled using client platforms. But I make sure that every content I share is read by me and only if I feel that it is worth sharing with my followers, I do share.
At the same time, I use the tools to keep engaging with my Twitter followers. Every mention is replied. Every RT from a genuine Twitter user is replied. I try to make connection. The automation tools are only a means to discover the connections.
Thank you for the comment Kevin

It’s important to actively participate in social media debates and discussions, however it doesn’t mean that you need to stay signed in on social networking sites every time. Instead you should make fix time to stay for your daily social media activity but you should be consistent with that.

I would say…be generous when you are in a platform like Twitter. Instead of sending tweets about your 50 old posts from your blog…tweet something interesting to your followers. But don’t forget your niche. Don’t expect every-time you tweet your blog content people will Retweet you. Be interesting. Share interesting stuff that matters to your followers.

Hi,
Social media is indeed a trend these days. We get to see the world and interact with the people around the world without pre-judgment. It is just so sad that some are not using this opportunity properly. It is also good to hear that the administrators of the site are attentive enough to manage any misbehaviors happening in their website.

I think I already responded to one comment about the social engagement. Since Google and other major search engines are taking the social signals for author reputation and the article ranking… everyone is concerned about it recently. But the truth is that…it is nothing new. We just ignored it and focused on other factors we though were important in the online publishing arena.

Hi Annetta,
This reminds me of my children when they were in elementary school. One of the things teachers worked on with the kids is how to be social. The term used was, “social skills”.
I use social networks and it’s really great because of where I live. It’s helped me get back in touch with people I never thought I’d ever see again and it’s great for my new online business. You write a excellent article. Thank you!

Annetta,
It is so important to be on social media. That is a platform where we can make relationships with others. I’ve been working the Social Media platform for a while now and not only is it good for business, but I find that I get to know so many people so well.
Bonding with others in and out of our niche is important. It can lead to business, Joint Ventures, Mastermind or Accountability partnerships, but most of all great friends across the globe.

Social Media right now is becoming too broad, even traditional media became social media. And every one else became social media.

Lloyd recently posted..Why You Should Take a Step Back
It’s important to remember that not every social media platform suits your purposes. You can’t hop on every new fad if it isn’t possible to utilize the site to its fullest potential. As a lawyer specializing in car accidents, pinterest and instagram don’t make any sense. Facebook and twitter are better suited to my needs.

No, well actually we do socialize but it depends on what, people tend to social on facebook more than twitter, so it all depends

A few months ago I had several hundred “friends” from the top social media network. I was getting nothing but insignificant postings – about what they ate for breakfast, what they did the night before, etc! WHO CARES! It was a big waste of my time, and thus closed my account.
Don’t take me wrong, but social media has it’s advantages AND disadvantages. Plus, these days, I hear that employers are wanting to see your profiles, posts, etc. The less I post online, the better I am. I guess I am not sociable!!
I have just recently re-activated my facebook account and was quickly reminded why I deactivated it in the first place. Social media is not very social. It’s more of a show and tell.
Twitter: Raphaellove
I would suggest that you create the filters to those whom you really want to communicate with and make it a point to mute those who “Overshare”. I share a lot of my own content and that of those who are really trying to say something of value. It really at times is a balancing act.
You just have to know why you are there in the first place and the rest becomes clear as well.

I’ve recently only started being social through online media and find that its easier and more beneficial to use some sites more than others because they have niche specific groups one can join and advertise to the exact target market with the hope of attracting the majority.

I also notice about social media if your post has not been spurring conversations, then it means you’re missing out on something. If you really want to build a great following on Facebook, then you should consider posting on Saturdays or Sundays when users are most active.
