6. Towards an
efficient social
media process
Sharing efficient processes
Mistakes to avoid
Verifying content
12. Patreon
Monetises
DTNS.
More than 4000 listeners pay the
Daily Tech News Show at least one
dollar week.
13. Social Media
through
Effective Email
Marketing.
If you have more than 1000 regular
readers or viewers or listeners, you
should be able to effectively reach
them with a weekly mailshot.
14. Avoid
Common
Mistakes
Have a strategy.
Integrate with other digital assets.
Use images.
Use hashtags.
Use a consistent voice.
15. Have a
Strategy
Cut through the noise.
A clear strategy leads to meaningful engagement.
16. Integrate with
other digital
assets.
Do not put your digital content into siloes.
Link accounts through profiles.
Add social links to your email footers.
17. Use images.
Images on the main Twitter timeline increase the size
of your tweet.
Images take longer to read.
Put images on your core messages.
18. Use hashtags.
Hashtags connect disparate conversations.
In Ireland, #edchatie and #TBT cut across
demographics.
Hashtags can be hijacked.
19. Use a
consistent
voice.
Business accounts should steer clear of personal
anecdotes.
If a business account becomes personal, it may become
off-message.
Trusted business accounts can be more effective than
scrolling network news.
20. Know how to
verify
content.
Don’t retweet a link before checking it.
Be across channels.
Spot and understand trends.
Nurture a network of expert friends.
Cite your source via h/t or link.
30. "Get all the apps on your phones".

Clever marketers know how to leverage email marketing processes.
From Jeff Bullas: Less than 20 percent of businesses say that their social media strategy is mature. Social media users are inundated with information and messages every second of the day. Businesses that don’t have a strategy won’t ever cut through the clutter and deliver an effective message to their target audience. Creating a strategy includes having distinct and measurable goals, developing a clear social media policy, thinking through a brand’s social media voice, and planning out a content calendar with end goals in mind.
Without a clear strategy, businesses could create the best content on the web, but receive little to no engagement.
From Jeff Bullas: Social media works best when integrated with other digital marketing efforts. One mistake many businesses make is to leave their social media accounts on islands. Not only should the accounts be linked together through profiles, but they should also be directly tied to websites, emails and paid search advertising campaigns. Not connecting these accounts reduces the amount of reach each asset has separately.
From Jeff Bullas: Images on twitter cause tweets to take up more space on the feed and help drive engagement. Tweets that include an image have 200 percent more engagement than tweets without images. While an image may not be appropriate for every tweet, businesses should include one whenever possible to help draw attention to their message.
From Jeff Bullas: Hashtags are a great way for businesses to insert themselves into conversations and trending topics that make sense, while also doubling engagement. For example, businesses can use the hashtag #throwbackthursday, or #TBT, to cash in on one of social media’s longest lasting regular Thursday conversations. For this hashtag, it makes sense to post an old image or ad, because it flows with the conversation. Using a new ad or product image would stand out and seem promotional. Using strategically chosen hashtags can help businesses find their target audience, reach non-followers in large numbers and help grow a brand’s influence.
From Jeff Bullas: A business’ Twitter account should be used for business, not personal anecdotes. While unique, funny and chatty messages can make a Twitter account seem more “human,” getting into arguments, insulting other brands or using it to advance the unrelated interests of executives pushes the platform off-message and can create backlash. Brands shouldn’t have their Twitter account act and sound like a robot either. Repeatedly sending out the same messages can create ill will from consumers as well. The key is to find a happy middle ground where the brand’s voice is consistent, caring and human at the same time.
