Editor's Notes
- An editorial calendar is a must - Stick to a regular schedule - especially for your blog Gives you structure - sets expectations for your readers For Example: Every Friday Bruce Clay Blog features a Friday Recap Every Tuesday In Sock Monkey Slippers features a “Confessions of the motherhood” How much time should you spend? Depends on your industry {look to industry leaders for that answer} No matter what - don’t let your time devoted to social jeapordize the quality of what you post, or the service you deliver
- One of the biggest wastes of time we face is just deciding what to say Don’t feel like you always have to be original or unique - its ok to jump on the bandwagon sometimes
- No one ever said you have to do it all yourself Use your network - your friends, family, clients, etc - and let them do some of the work for you Identify your centers of influence and keep them happy with you!
- In addition to your running “Idea List” you can keep batches of content ready to roll out Keep boiler plate content - about your company, driving directions, anything you send out/post repeatedly {also makes setting up new accounts much faster}
- In your business you never do anything “just because” - same is true for social. Its easy to get caught up in the flurry Being social is a time investment - if something you are doing doesn’t work towards one of your goals, then why are you doing it?
- Often times we see people afraid to dive in b/c their strategy isnt perfect or they waste tons of time trying to be perfect
- divvy/us - very simple, create and assign tasks toodledo - free or paid, complex functions, also an iphone app folders, subtasks, due-dates, priorities, tags, contexts, goals, notes, time estimates
- Insights for Search - put in a keyword and see how popular it is - and where. You can even drill down to your city Clear the search and see the trending hot topics in general Embedd on your iGoogle page to easily see “what’s hot” every day
