17. 2. Building & Engaging Your Audience
Questions

isolated and silo-ed? Can we adopt a
cross fertilization standard of practice

group that has real participation and

topics for social media?

20. Writing for SM / the web
Craft the Perfect Social Post (source: www.entrepreneur.com/article/232964)
Facebook: It’s okay to post after your business closes. Your audience may be more
available.
Facebook: / Twitter: Shortened links with Bit.ly get more retweets.
Blogging: Keep blog posts between 500-800 words.
YouTube: Make sure your file name reflects your clever title.
Google+: Use full size images (800x600px) to stand out.
Pinterest: Posts without human faces get repinned 23 percent more.
Instagram: Use the rule of thirds. Put the subject of the photo in only two-thirds of
the photo, it’s visually more appealing.
Vine: Use a tripod to keep videos steady.
Tumblr: “Like” and “Reblog.” Tumblr is built on community and this will get your
name your blog out there. If you just post mindlessly, no one is going to
find you. Be visible.

Notas del editor
Welcome.This session funded by NE-SARE through a tri-state pd training on social media tools. Past: Meeting at epic in the past over lunches but extending it to the whole group because of interest in social media.Introductions – name, social media you feel most comfortable sharing expertise.
Most of you completed the pre-session survey… not surprisingly most of us are using laptop for sm. Wanted to note that research suggests that a significant percentage of your audience might be looking at your posts using mobile devices. Just be aware… using mobile device for this presentation so we can view audience side and developer sides…
I am really hoping that you will leave this session with at least 1 new nugget of info.And because my funder is very focused on behavior change, I will be asking you in about 4 months if you made any changes –appreciate your response on that.Relax and enjoy… 4 in the afternoon, long and fun day… Interrupt at any time, we have a bigger crowd than I expected – so won’t be the ideal round table experience but I want to make sure you get your questions answered. Along those lines, please share if you have info as I am not the expert on this.
And hurray for us all, lots of experience in the room!! Most collective experience and expertise in FB and Twitter – not surprising as these are the top social media channels out there
Because of our time constraints, I went right to your burning questions on the survey – you probably saw the list in the email I distributed last week – I went ahead and organized into these categories…Hoping to spend about 25 min on 1-5 and 25 min on #6, sound good?
First set of Qs revolved around:Where to start, how to select the right social media channels, and how does social media fit into our overall work?
I don’t think anyone is suggesting that social media is taking the place of our traditional offerings… I think of social media as adding value to, supplementing. For example… we can have our in-person farm tours like this and
We can supplement with virtual experience… here some embedded video at UFL and a interactive platform called pachyderm at Washington State
We can provide demonstrations…
And workshops, courses online… note that this technology has come in extremely handy during the winter months. For at least the last 3 years, we have used webinar / live streaming at our annual conferences…me at grains conference held in March
One on one consultations – so here think of efficiencies in terms of time and money.
Getting started – overwhelming. What are social media tools? Sniki wiki -- encyclopedia of Web 2.0. or social media.
Which to choose? First step is recognizing that different sm are meant to perform different functions – so need to think about what you want sm to do…Fred calls it an ecosystem. Online services…that allow for conversations and interactions to take place via your computer, phone, tablet or other device. Big 3=generic social platforms in middle because offer lots of functionalities/tools (i.e. you can share, play, publish, network on one of these bc they are containers or relays for others) Twitter: content discovery, FB: interactions, G+: manage online identityportant is not to choose the right platform, it is to build a consistent social architecture.
You need at Social media strategy and social media plan… helpful if you are getting started, if you are responding to UVM’s social media policy requests, if you are already have social media channels and they are not performing as you would like them to…
You already know your audience – here’s Wordle responses to the survey Q. probably could be more specific than “youth” or “adults” but good start. Simplest way to start is to look at your audience and go where they are…
Similarities and differences. Social media is NOT only approach.Any questions / comments on getting started
Now you are on SM but don’t feel like there’s enough folks on your channels or not enough exchanges. Feeling isolated.Integrate with all other communications – email signature line, website, in emails. Need to be using it yourself.Easy way is to become a friend, follower and fan yourself – start with the people / programs in this room.Also need to post info that is interesting and that people want to read. Before we move into writing for sm and the web, what about this issue of privacy?
Result of following other folks! Increasing in followers…
Text and oral presentations are not just less efficient than pictures for retaining certain types of information; they are way less efficient. If information is presented orally, people remember about 10 percent, tested 72 hours after exposure. That figure goes up to 65 percent if you add a picture. The reason vision means so much to us may be as simple as the fact that most of the major threats to our lives in the savannah were apprehended visually. Ditto with most of our food supplies. Ditto with our perceptions of reproductiThat short-term memory (working memory) is limited in capacity to about seven informational units. ve opportunity.Time management… think about ways to collaborate or curate content…
Also had a set of Qs on social media management – these are very good questions! Because difficult.How often to post?Integration – do you really want to?? Twitter to FB: Settings, Profile Twitter to LinkedIn: Settings, Apps Embed into web: widgets
Worth mentioningbc very good practice
Measuring… last q really management
Why it is important to monitor --
Go back and ask them! Strength of social media is you have names to ask (unlike website)
