How to Become Visible with Social Media
Social media is changing how we communicate
Social media is changing how we publish
Challenge 1: Technology is Changing Rapidly but
Humans are Slow to Change
To reach 50 million users
   –   Radio took 38 years
   –   TV took 13 years
   –   Internet took 4 years
   –   iPod took 3 years
   –   Facebook added over 200 million users in less than 12 months!
Challenge 1: Technology is Changing Rapidly but
Humans are Slow to Change
Challenge 2: We still think Local not Global
Challenge 3: Managing Disruption
Organisations that don’t adapt to the disruption are becoming
extinct as companies that adapt grow and thrive!
Challenge 4: Getting Found in a Huge Volume of Information -
Over 500 million Websites
Challenge 5: Consuming the Velocity of Information




         “Every two days we create as much
        information as we did from the dawn of
               civilization up until 2003”
                        Eric Schmidt, 2010 (CEO of Google)

Editor's Notes

  1. The printing press was invented by Johann Gutenburg, a German, in the 1439. The printing press allowed the Renaissance to spread because it made new ideas available to a much larger audience. More books were written in the vernacular, rather than in Latin. Johann Gutenberg was a German goldsmith. In his day, people slowly copied books by hand or printed them from wooden blocks where each letter of every page had to be carved separately. Gutenberg learned to make metal letters that he called "type." He could pick up the letters and place them in rows to build pages. Each page was held together by a frame. Gutenberg fixed the frame to a press and pressed the inky surface of his type onto sheets of paper. Gutenberg's movable type helped him to make copies of books faster and more cheaply than ever before.
  2. In the 1990’s people started expressing themselves with online diaries. According to Wikipedia, Justin Hall was one of the earliest bloggers who began eleven years of personal blogging in 1994 as the Web started to become widespread.The phrase was coined “web log“, which has through the wonderful world of language, been transformed into the term “we blog” and hence “blogging“.The tools for blogging have evolved to the point that the less technical of the population can now publish text, video and images simply and easily without understanding a single line of coding or computer programming. Tools such as WordPress and Tumblr have broken the technical tyranny of the geeks.Self expression and creativity has exploded online and allowed anyone with enough passion and discipline to publish their ideas via rich digital multimedia.Blogging plus Social MediaThe rise of social media has allowed bloggers to display and market themselves and their content globally without having to pay a cent to a newspaper, television mogul or to the mass media elite.Bloggers that were previously undiscovered became global brands on topics as diverse as food, fashion and technology. Marketing your blog was no longer restricted to building an RSS or email subscription list.Publishing and marketing has been democratized. Freedom to express yourself globally is available in seconds and it is also mobile.The age of the printing press is now threatened after 573 years. Print media marketing has now been surpassed by digital media for the first time in history.
  3. We have a fast changing world but the challenge is that humans are slow to change and our thinking and habits are still trapped in traditional habitual thinking and customs. A lot of senior managers are still acting as if we are in a industrial and traditional mass media economy,The “Big Gap” between how we read and consume our information and the way we market and advertise. Radio took 38 years to reach 50 million usersTV took 13 yearsInternet took 4 yearsiPod took 3 yearsFacebook added over 200 million users in less than one
  4. Great funny YouTube video about technology“My Blackberry is not working” Two Ronnies
  5. Patrick Story – Car suspension part shipped from London to Sydney saving 40%Your competition is not just in your suburb, city or country. They are in Germany, Japan or China
  6. These digital economy black swan events are both an opportunity and a challengeSome businesses will thriveOthers will dieThe question is which will you be?
  7. Some sectors are under more pressure and change than othersDigital PhotographyPublishingMusic IndustryNewspapers
  8. How does your Business stand out in a Crowded Digital Ocean of 500 million plus websites?This digital economy also raises some questions.
  9. Consuming and organising all this information is one of the challenges of a modern knowledge world in which we liveDo we book mark itFile it on our laptopDo you punch the reference into your notes function of your iPhone or iPadDo you grab a pen and jot it down on your beloved Moleskine notepad?So
  10. It is no longer just about building a website and hoping to be found amongst all that noise and clutter, It is not as simple as that anymore!You need to start changing your thinking and paradigm about the importance of web presence and start thinking about the making it a priority to build and establish your online assets. AnalogyBusiness will spend 100,000 on a reception area that may only get 100 visitors a day while your website may have a 1,000 or more. Yet CEO’s will agonise over investing properly in their website. It is time to change your thinking about the importance of your digital assets when we are increasingly working and buying in a digital economy.
  11.
