“A podcast is a type of digital media consisting of an

episodic series of audio radio, video, PDF, or ePub files

subscribed to and downloaded through web syndication or

streamed online to a computer or mobile device. The word

is a neologism derived from "broadcast" and "pod" from the

success of the iPod, as podcasts are often listened to on

portable media players.”

What about SEO?

106

Members‘ Day

"Social Media for Language Services", Heron, Frankfurt, 24.11.2012 107

“Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the

visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural"

or un-paid ("organic") search results.[jargon] In general, the earlier

(or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently

a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will

receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different

kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search,

academic search,[1] news search and industry-specific vertical

search engines.

Members‘ Day

"Social Media for Language Services", Heron, Frankfurt, 24.11.2012 108

“As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search

engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms

or keywords typed into search engines and which search

engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing

a website may involve editing its content, HTML and

associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific

keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of

search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of

backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.”

Social Media Plan

Like George Harrison said „If you don‘t know where you‘re going, any road will take you there.“

If you don‘t think about where you want to go and how you won‘t to get there you could easily get lost.

Your Social Media Plan will be a key part of promoting your personal brand

Think about the 7P‘s…

122

Members‘ Day

"Social Media for Language Services", Heron, Frankfurt, 24.11.2012

The 7P‘s

People- Who are you trying to reach? Who is your client?

Purpose- Why are you using Social Media, what are you trying to accomplish?

Platform- What social media platforms are best for you? (i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.)

Plan- develop goals, set a target, when will you do what?

123

The 7P‘s Continued Policy- What are the rules, if your were a

company with multiple employees this would include how people are allowed to use social media while on company time

Produce Content- This is what you‘re sharing. It can be articles, pictures, and even links to works of others that you find helpful

Performance Measurement- be sure to check how you‘re doing, what kind of results are you seeing? What adjustments might need to be made?
