Social Media Pearls From My Guests Talking On Social Media

"When blogging about social media make sure you value and make it quick." from Social Media: A subscriber's perspective #OOTSE

We are one human being. The more we are actually ourselves and show we are human, the more successful we are in business. People do not want to do business with robots, we want that other touch. Let go…it is perfectly fine. That’s who we are .... human beings. From Social Media and Entrepreneurs #OOTSE @axels

“Use social media for what it was intended for. D not over analyze it. Use it to connect with your constituents; be personal, get out there and build your brand.” From Social Media and Not For Profit. #OOTSE @AaronManogue

Be real, be consistent. Like any other relationship, you get what you put into it. ON social networks, Fakers and Posers are discovered quite easily . Be yourself. Be real and give to your network. from the Social Media Toolkit. #OOTSE @cristinalfalcao

"Social media is just a new tool. Don’t just use social,be social. It is all about listening, connecting really engaging with ppl and actually having a conversation." from Social Media in The Workplace. #OOTSE @pamelamaeross

[When you are social media friendly you are saying although you don’t have the resources or you may be regulated out of the conversations- we can still listen, understand and create content that we know will align with where people have questions and what they are talking about. When you create social media friendly content it is very succinct and shareable. You get your voice by being social media friendly. From Jumping into Social Media: An Approach To Strategy. #OOTSE @dbradfield

Social media is a great platform to build relationships, build your reputation and build a community while bringing business into the company. From Social Media Conversations. #OOTSE @lttlewys

“Publicly connect those good connectors with other connectors that you know.
Find something you know, become a specialist and share the knowledge liberally. You will naturally build your reputation and the value will naturally be returned.”
from the Social Media Toolkit. #OOTSE @mqtodd

“Don’t be intimidated by this seemingly big wave of information and technology, and you feeling behind the 8th ball. Find a mentor, find a friend, find a colleague, find someone in your network. Go to Google google. Google is your best friend. Start typing in “innovative HR” or “social in the workplace” and you will find people who can help you on your journey. Do not be afraid to ask questions. The social media community is a very giving community and you will find you will start to find your pace and your voice. Even if you do nothing but listen and follow people you admire in the beginning” from What is social media in the workplace? #OOTSE @impactresults

"We live in a world of grey. Nobody wants to have opinions; nobody wants to be very transparent. If you have the guts to share your opinion on a subject you should. Your opinion should be what you as a business owner, entrepreneur, solopreneur stand for. We don’t have enough thought leadership in this country and every industry is just waiting for thought leaders to step up. If you love what you do, go put your opinion on a piece of paper or on your computer and then put them out there. Be bold, be brave and what is going to happen is you are going to gain the respect of many. You are gong gain fans and ultimately you are going to gain clients and profits. And really, that is what this conversation is all about." From the Content in Social Media: What makes great content? #OOTSE @thesaleslion
