CONTENT MARKETING • Companies want and need to move out of commodity situations with their customers to build relationships • These relationships create more value over time for both companies and customers • Content is the new marketing • Customers want value, advice, direction, proof • Make good content and build trust • Trusted sources gain more business
- 10. PERSONAL BRAND • Have a reason for each social account (i.e. my college friends are on FB) • Choose a network or two and maintain it • Schedule (at least) monthly check in • Use other networks to point to your main networks

Notas del editor
- The beautiful thing about history is when you get to live through it and talk about it later. I was lucky enough to be in my career when all of these amazing things started to happen.Social conversation was happening on the web way back before the century turned.This book came out in 1999 and it’s corresponding web site went live in April 1999 of that year, it is the same site today as it was then (saved for posterity – only updated to include the second edition of the book)People / customers were talking to each other, saying good and bad things about companies
- This notion of people being able to connect in this way started to disrupt companies that weren’t meeting their customers needs.It was surfacing some of the dissatisfaction customers were feeling from ‘faceless’ companies.This book was starting to identify the entire world of social that has manifested the past 15 years sinceAll these ways people were interacting (Usenet (moderated news groups),CompUServ, BBS, email lists)Internet forum software from WebEx) methods some of you may not have experiencedBut the tools were rough
- Early blogging meant writing codeJason Kottke (kottke.org) was one of the people who was part of the Minneapolis communityHe was also an early blogger – doing this before the tools – he began in March 1998First site was called Osil8 and he considered it a collection of ‘digital experiments’Side note: Jason also ended up marrying Meg who co-founded blogger
- Manual tools transformed and blogging tools emerged (Jason Kottke was writing html code at the time)Suddenly it was much easierAnd there was an explosion
- Sun Microsystems encourages all employees to blog Working at Sun I got to see this early benefitBuilding good willShowing expertiseBuilding web traffic
- A CEO dialogues the SEC about the use of blogs for the official dissemination of financial informationThis was just ruled on this April – posts on social networks are just as good as news releases and company websites as long as investors have been told which outlets will be used
- The book Naked Conversations is published full of stories on the value of blogging for businessIt also outlined how and why to launch a blogging strategy for your businessThis book was written via blogging – then published (Robert Scoble and Shel Israel)
- You will be ‘googled’ Think about what people might find – put your own story out there – it’s getting created for you if you aren’t participating in it.Build your personal brandExpect that people will see personal things – get comfortable with it – that authenticity is a good thing – just have awarenessConsider your limits – what you are and are not going to reveal is key to consider before you are faced with a situation you didn’t prepare for – set your guidelinesSign up for your identities
- My personal example-my photo blogRules: publish photo taken on that day or beforemake sure a photo is published each dayPublish on wordpress which posts to tumblrPublish on google+ which points to wordpress and posts to twitter
- During an event Magnet 360 held, one of our Sr Directors was called out for not having a large social presence.
- We knew that he would be speaking again on a national stage, and that we needed to elevate him socially So we started having Rob write blogs, and make videos
- We also made him be more active on twitter, and socialize his recent online contributions
- From there he was featured in websites, blogs, and had tons of interactions on twitter based on his content, with no mention of a shallow social presence
- After his presentation, we looked at what people enjoyed about his speech and writing and started creating more content around that social listening.
- I know what you are thinking, Rob has been publically speaking for years and has deep expertise, but recently we did the same thing for a NEW Marketing consultant. He started writing blogs on information that he could leverage and now is being tweeted by influential people in his field, and building his social presence.
