MLM Training- 4 Secrets on Organizing Your Social Media / Web 2.0 Efforts
July 25, 2008
Ok!
We just launched last night the Social Media Training Network.
And this is a blog post on that site from a HOT new blogger named Karen Hurd. She is a great writer, but she posted a note on the site that was not only Rocking HOT- but great info for all of us. We are going to put from time to time Web 2.0 trainings on this blog, but we actually are going to launch a new blog- The Storm Blogger next week that will be nothing but social media training and posts. We will be getting that out as soon as possible.
Visit the Social Media Training Network. - you will enjoy being a member, learn a lot- and it is FREE.
Here is a great post from Karen Hurd:
One day of social marketing…and you have 1,000 new passwords and log in links.
you probably generated some affiliate links along the way.
Coupla things I learned on the yellow brick road of Web 2.0 -
1) Write all of your profiles in Notepad or other text editor.
If you do it in MS Word, it (word) will add extra HTML that you can’t see, but could wreck your formatting. Copy and paste. That way, if your server crashes, you haven’t lost your work. (OY! the hours I’ve lost!!) Use the same basic profile. Social sites, like Facebook, want a little more of the hobby and favorite movie type stuff, more business oriented sites like professional associations.
2) Put your contact info (like phone or skype or EM addy) in the NAME field when you are setting up your profile.
That’s especially important in Linked In so that people outside of your network can contact you. If you look more accessible…you will be connect more.
3) You can use something like ROBOform (www.roboform.com) for your passwords.
Firefox and IE7 have features that memorize your log ins. I also keep an Excel spread sheets (just the columns) for my Log in, password, log in site links and any affiliate links and commission info. You can organize your links by category, how you use them, or by Alpha order.
4) Schedule your “route”.
You might do Facebook, OPEN and Linked In on Mondays, schedule your tweets early in the day, and write your articles and blogs over the weekend. You might do forum posting on Wednesdays. Most blog formats allow you to schedule publication dates.
Insomnia is great for social networking :-).
So are weekend afternoons. I tell my team to NEVER do their online promoting stuff during peak calling hours.
Online networking comes after F2F and phone contacts. Online networking has some short term returns, but it is a long term strategy.
Hope that helps! Karen Hurd
