Social Media Campaign Discussion

2 replies
I thought I'd start this thread as I couldn't find anything else like it on this forum. I'm going to be project managing some Social Media campaigns in the very near future and just wanted to get and discussion going.

As far as I care, social media is used to drive traffic to your website that is selling your product. This can be done through facebook, twitter and the rest. I understand that almost all these techniques for driving traffic are very open ended and seem to come from a couple fundamentals:

1. Don't try and hard sell. If you're looking like a salesperson then you're doing it wrong [insert appropriate image here].

2. Personal touch. If you want to create a following, be that fans on facebook or followers on twitter, you need to personalise your social media space and not stuffing it with branding.

That's what I'll start with. Let's get this discussion rolling!

    I've never said this in public before, but since I'm about to start some social stuff online too... I think this is something worth sharing.

    IMHO, the majority of IMers haven't even begun to understand the concepts behind social media marketing that have fueled the offline live band circuit for years. Those that are seeing success are only exposing the tip of the iceberg.

    If you want to totally understand how to work the online social world to its full capacity, find a successful offline promoter; (preferably club and or live house... or even good band manager that keeps his bands' tickets sold); and glue yourself to him/her. You'll learn just about everything you need to know about how to maximize return from the social arena online.

    (again IMHO) This would be the best social media marketing education you could possibly get. I'm not going to get into why in this thread; sh**, that's a whole book. Yet, IF anyone takes my advice you'll quickly realize why I am saying this.

    Social media and social networking is all about building communities- you need to get a lot of people together around similar interests. It can be considered in some ways similar to this forum- we are all here to work together to make more money but also make friends, colleagues and associates.
