Your Objectives


• Build a community through the
  community
• Empower the community
• Change your way of thinking
The Social Web
• Social media sites are driving tons of
  traffic. TONS.
• Your customers are spending more
  and more time in them.
• The battle is for attention. Are you
  winning?
The figures
• 161 Million Unique (Facebook)
• 61 BILLION Page Views (Facebook)
• 117 Million Unique (MySpace)
• 73 Million in USA (MySpace)




           Figures for September
Steps


• Step 1: Realize you have a community
• Step 2: Engage your community
• Step 3: Cast your nets
• Step 4: Let your community bloom
Its about community
WAIT!
Its ONLY about community
Your community is
       everywhere

• Stop thinking of your site as a single
  destination.
• Go to where the people are (lots of
  choices, you decide)
• Cast your net wide, because....
You can’t fish in a puddle
Where are you casting your net?
Old web
New Web
What this means to you?

• Harder to compete for attention on your own
• Harder to acquire new users (people are
  fickle)

• BUT People are spending more time online
• AND There are more people online
• so how can this help you?
Building a community
 from the community
   @ theBoaters.com
An Ex: theBoaters.com

• Built a NICHE community
• Started seeding it with PPC acquired
  traffic (high costs)

• 500 users after 3 weeks ( low
  conversion rate on signups)
Theboaters + Facebook

• Created a facebook interface for their
  site

• Accepted facebook logins as their
  users (PRE- FB connect)

• Redefined what a facebook app was to
  them

• Grew to 20,000 users in 6 weeks!
So how can you play?
Does your site look like this?
Is your site a silo?


• Are you syndicating your content?
• Are you sharing your site?
• Can your users contribute to your
  site?
• Can they take the content with them?
What you can do about it


• What opportunities are out there?
• How do we leverage them?
• How do we measure ROI?
• How do we implement these things?
Facebook Connect
What FB Connect can do for you.

• Lower barrier to      • Create a facebook
  entry for new users     “app” so you own
                          100% of the page
• They bring their        views
  friends with them.
                        • Distribute your
• THEY BRING THEIR        content to 160 Million
  FRIENDS!                users

• Syndicate your site   • Low customer
  interactions to         acquisition costs
  facebook
Distributed Logins



Yahoo! Open Platform
Microsoft Live login
                        Social Graph API
Google Friend Connect
What OpenID means

• Dramatically lower your signup
  friction

• Millions of users (any Yahoo, MSN,
  GMail, MySpace, or AIM username)

• Paired with social graph = $$$$$
• Reduce spam/pre-authenticated
  people
Social Graph & You

• Social portability.
• Bring friend relationships in, and blow
  them out.

• make it dead simple for your users to
  share with their friends.
Social Graph API?


• POTENTIALLY amazing
• Map the relationships between people
• Use the map to find new connections
  and customers
Implementing it all

• Not trivial. No matter what they tell
  you.
• A good programmer can tie in your
  site to any of these platforms.
• But make sure you think about this
  stuff BEFORE starting a site
Conclusion

• Your community is key to your social
  media efforts
• Your community is everywhere (so
  you need to go to them)
• You can build any niche from the
  existing communities
Sharing is caring.
