Wednesday Words: Reddit

Today's word is not so much about social media, but social news and that word is Reddit.  If you remember using Digg, in many ways Reddit is similar to Digg.  It is a social news site built upon its community of users who share, like and comment on stories.

Reddit has become known for the AMA (Ask Me Anything) segments where famous individuals are live on Reddit answering questions over a couple of hours.

While Reddit isn't as much about social media networking as it is about social media news, if your brand becomes famous (or is famous) and you've got well known folks that might be interested in doing an AMA, it's a great way to mingle with social media and cross promote in many ways.

Reddit is not for the light of heart and there are many rules which apply to the community.  Before you post there, be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules and etiquette.

Wednesday Words are a series of definitions released on Wednesday each week regarding a word found specific to Facebook's social media platform, or may be a generic word dealing with social media.  These definitions are to help provide you with a better understanding of common and uncommon terms associated with Facebook and social media.   You can find all the Wednesday Words by clicking on the Wednesday Words tag below.

Tuesday Tips: Know Where Your Customers Are

Your social media plan should be targeted to where your customers are.  If you don't have any (or many) customers on say Pinterest or Instagram, but a ton on Facebook and Twitter, you are wasting valuable time by focusing on two networks that do not reach your customers.

The idea is really simple - especially for small businesses.  Pay attention to your networks, find where your customers are, weed out the networks where your customers aren't and post to the ones where your customers are larger, active and social.

That being said, it doesn't hurt to re-evaluate other forms of social media as your business and customer base grows larger.  As generations shift, so do their forms of social media and if you want to grow, you still have to reach the younger generations and their social networks.

Social networks are always growing and changing - what didn't work last year may work this year or next year.  You won't know if you don't keep an open mind.  Just don't set yourself up to be overwhelmed when you first launch social media by joining every network.  Figure out what works best and go from there.

Good luck!

Wednesday Words: News Feed

Okay, so today's word is an easy one - and probably a gimme - but as there are people who may not know certain words or may still be new to social media, we'll go ahead and define "News Feed."

The generic, non-social-network-specific, definition is a feed full of news.  With social media, we can use the term "news" loosely.

For Facebook, your news feed is what you see when you first login to Facebook.  It's all the posts from friends and families that they've posted as well as some posts from the pages and people you follow/like.  With Facebook you have the choice of reading Top Stories or Most Recent - and yes, it has a tendency to default to Top Stories randomly when you aren't expecting it and you have to tell it to go back.

Twitter's News Feed is called Timeline - not to be confused with Facebook profile Timelines).  This is where you can see everyone's tweets and retweets of people you follow as well as sponsored Tweets you may be interested in.  This is different from your profile where you see only your tweets.

Google's news feed is your "home" page in Google+.

I'm not sure if there are other "news feeds" out there, but those are the three dominant ones.

Wednesday Words are a series of definitions released on Wednesday each week regarding a word found specific to Facebook's social media platform, or may be a generic word dealing with social media.  These definitions are to help provide you with a better understanding of common and uncommon terms associated with Facebook and social media.   You can find all the Wednesday Words by clicking on the Wednesday Words tag below.

Tuesday Tips: Managing Followers Should be a Daily Routine

One of the best pieces of advice I have seen regarding managing followers and social media is to not only encourage your friends, family and clients to like your page and follow you on other forms of social media, but you should also spend some time each day liking and following social media accounts with similar interests to what your business is posting about.

Managing your followers and who you follow should be a daily routine.  If you have a number of folks follow you on Twitter, check them out, see if their interests are similar to yours and if they are, return the favor and follow them.  Same is true on Google+.  You can add people to your page's circle, just like they can add your page to their circles.

You can also like other businesses as your Facebook page.  This is an important way to get your name out there.

Finally, you can also follow folks on Pinterest and Instagram.

Yes, it takes a little bit of time, but if you spend 10-15 minutes each day keeping up with it, it will help out a lot.
