Introduction

"Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because

it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived." - Captain

Picard

The following is a brief guide for running task oriented goal based social media campaigns. It is byno means all inclusive. Each social media campaign uses different tactics, technology and services, but

the general framework for choosing which tactics and technology suit the campaign and implementing

them remains the same.

There are some misconceptions about social media- that only teenagers and college kids use it, thatits not relevant to small local businesses, that the Internet is home to (male) geeks and that people who

buy my product aren't on social networks.

The average age of a Twitter user is 40. Groupon has proved that regional social network campaigns

put people in brick and mortar stores. Women spend 85 percent more than males on Virtual items. Noproduct or store comes with a maximum age limit to purchase. While only 3% of social networks are

made up of the over 65 age group the 35-55 age group outnumbers them ten to one. In just a decade the65 and over age group will be the largest demographic on social networks.

This document is designed to guide us, step by step, in creating and managing a social mediacampaign.

You Are Your Own Client

"If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are." - Captain Picard

Interview Yourself to Define your Strengths and Resources

The initial client interview, even if they are you, sets the tone for the style and tone of the social

media campaign. Knowing your limitations as well as your strengths allows you to pick the bestvehicle for your social media campaign. If you are awkward on camera, for instance, a video blog may

not be in the cards. If you're a writer then a wordpress blog shows off your talents better than a badly

maintained tumblr.

Discovering Your Voice

The Voice of a social media campaign is the style of posts you will make. The voice for your

social media campaign should be as close to your natural style as possible, just tweaked a little bit.Write a list of your interests, where you go hang out, what your hobbies are and what you like to talk

about most. If none of those things are related to the product you are selling then reconsider if you want

to run your own social media campaign.

Later in the process you'll evaluate your potential customer base and you'll find where your naturalinterests and style overlap. If you can't speak with authority on a subject its best to avoid it and focus

on those things with which you are comfortable.

If your natural style is quirky you'll want to remain consistently quirky on your social media

networks. If you're generally rather serious you'll want to avoid making quirky posts which willconfuse your followers. Develop an approach to social media posting you can consistently maintain

without forcing something that isn't there.

While everyone wants to be completely original, you will also have to consider your audience. In

some cases having interests outside of your market may brand you as a unique business and set youapart from the rest. But there's also the risk that this difference may not speak to your audience or

worse make them critical of you- and since the point of a social media campaign is sales you'll have to

ignore that which does not drive your customers and embrace that which they embrace.

Its best to simply write down a general description of your tone and a small list of things you like totalk about, maybe three items, and confine your social media posts to those topics. If your followers are

expecting you to talk, for example, about Science Fiction books with a dry wit and occasionally

mention your favorite video games and anecdotes about your cats, then posting a serious politicalanalysis of a breaking story throws a wrench into the personal brand you are developing.

Be consistent. Be familiar. Be yourself.

Core Competencies & Your Tech Savvy

Consider your level of tech-savvy. Your ability to use and understand social media and smart-phone

technology (the most common platform of social media) determines the scope of the campaign. Your

ability to integrate multimedia components (videos, photographs) and geo-specific posting (foursquare,

list / feed posting) depends on your ability to produce and use these features autonomously. If you can'tpost a video from a promotional event, you cannot, for instance, check in at that event via Foursquare


5/18

and post a twitvid inviting those attending to engage. You should not stray too far out of your comfort

zone. If it doesn't come naturally to you then you won't do it well. Build around your strengths while

remembering your weaknesses.

If a particular method of posting to social mead speaks to you own it- even if its behind a computerscreen. Knowing what you can do well will open you up to taking full advantage of that medium. If, for

example, you find you have no problem taking quick cellphone videos about where you are and what

you're doing then by all means get a tumlr or send twitvids. If you're a total computer wizard you cantake advantage of multiple avenues- videos, images, audio, blogs etc. But still, focus on no more thantwo skills.

If you're terrible at videos, images, audio or writing longer blogs then stick to micro-blogging

(twitter) and simple status updates (facebook). You can do a lot as long as you're doing it well. Don't

feel compelled to use every fancy tool because others are doing it.

Collecting Existing Materials

Collect all the material you can on your product.

If possible, collect:Biography or Company history

Product list + images

Promotional Images (raw and editable formats if possible)

Company Logo

Promotional Videos

Current and pass press kits

Personal Contact information

Geographic Location and Public Contact Information

After gathering all this info you should know exactly what you have to work with, what you arecapable of doing with it. This means you could decide to do an all out Youtube, Tumblr, Wordpress,

Twitter, Facebook, Klout and LinkedIn campaign, because you have the skills to produce consistent

new content for all these sites, or you could stick to the Big Two Facebook and Twitter and simply

share links and information about your product. You should also have a good sense of the type of postsyou're going to make and a limited list of topics you won't stray from.

Setting Goals

Things are only impossible until they are not. - Captain Picard

What Goals are And Why We Need Them

Setting a goal for the social media campaign dictates that campaign's content. Without a clear goal

we cannot gage the success or failure of our effort. How we measure social media also dictates the form

in which goals take.

General themes such as making the product a household name or making myself a star areimpossible to measure and worse are not sales strategies. Popularity and visibility are not ends, but

means to sales.

Social media metrics take the form of impressions and interactions. The number of impressions, as

mentioned before, means how many people see a post and the number of interactions means how manypeople respond to a post.

Metrics Define Goals

Sheer volume of impressions can be fabricated through certain social media tactics (discussed later)

but volume is useless unless the people those impressions reach have an interest in or need for the

product being marketed. Sheer volume of impressions is an investment of time and resources, and

unless you get a return on that investment you've wasted time and effort. The return on social mediainvestment is interactions, and different types of interactions have different weight. But for goal setting

purposes there is only one type of interaction that matters: A response to ourCall To Action.

A Call To Action The Bread and Butter of Social Media Posting

Call to action is a social media marketing term and means, When people do the thing we ask ofthem in our posts. How to craft and use CTA's will also be discussed later, but for goal setting it meanssales and customers.

Set firm, measurable, sales goals you intend to generate through social media.

Market Research & Keywords

"Dr. Fesbinder gave an hour long dissertation on the ionization of warp nacelles before he realized

that the topic was supposed to be psychology." - Captain Picard

After defining who you are in the social media sphere and what you are selling the next step in

developing a social media campaign is defining who the customer is and how they purchase, searchand interact on social media. Knowing the language of the customer is instrumental in communicating

yourCall to Action. You must know your customer in order to provide relevant posts.

Research Similar Brands and Clients

Search similar brands, products and personalities. No brand, client or product is so unique it does

not have an existing market (even niches). Begin this search by finding communities, web forums,social networks and websites similar to your voice and product. Take notes on both the posts by the

similar products and people and the followers they have. Ifunique phrases, ideas, words or slang show

up write them down. Also take note at where the most discussion (interactions) are taking place, as

knowing where to reach customers guides the direction of the social media campaign.

Also take note of the method of interaction. Length of posts, depth of replies, use of images and

video all indicate the customer's social media lexicon. Once you've scoured twitter, facebook, tumblr

and youtube for repeated phrases and communication style begin a keyword search.

Keyword Searches

Using tools such as Google's keyword search engine, input general phrases describing both the your

product and similar products. Evaluate the return by taking note of the most searched terms associatedwith your product and the competition for these terms. If the most searched terms have the most

competition is there a way to build a unique phrase off of them? (Competition means how many other

people are using that same phrase, if a lot of people are using the same phrase in marketing campaignsits difficult to make your voice / posts stand out from them.)

For example, your client sells discount movie theater tickets and the most searched term related to

that business is Cheap movie tickets. But it also has the most competition. Did you try, Cheap movie

tickets in Atlanta ?

Continue to input phrases, drawing upon the notes taken while surveying social media communitiesrelated to the product. Evaluate the competition for and the frequency of search for the phrases most

relevant to the client or product.

Evaluate Keyword Data

Using the information gathered from keyword search identify the terms most relevant to people

searching for your product- balancing frequency of search (or how common people put those terms into

search engines) with competition for these terms (how often your competition uses those phrases).Select five key words or phrases from your research which accurately match your product to what

customer's are looking for. Select five topics the community (customers) identifies with.

These keywords and key topics guide your social media posts by providing relevant and familiar

content that is easy to find and identify with for your customers.

These keywords and topics also make your posts relevant to common searches made by those

looking to buy your product, enable all sales posts (Where the call to action is buy the product)

to meet the right audience.

Registering Social Media Identities

Make it so. - Captain Picard

Once you've defined where your interests match your market and found what key words are familiar

and easy for your customers to find you're ready to take the first step to the market: registering with

social media networks. Once you've signed up for the social media networks you can begin connectingto other users so you can tell them about your product.

Choose One Single Online Identity

But before registering social media sites select a single identity (username) for all social media sites.

The username must be simple, short (usually under 12 characters) and easy to verbalize and remember

(nbau7enchkith would be a bad choice). Check the availability of the name on all relevant socialmedia sites, even if you don't plan to use them in your campaign as you may branch into different

social media services as the market shifts. You may want to register the identity with those sites simply

to control the brand, but if you are not actively using an account set the privacy to to private to avoid

zombie accounts.

Zombie accounts are unused, updated accounts. The problem with zombie accounts is that if a user

should come across them and find them unused they may conclude the client is not active and engaged.

If possible include a message forwarding users to active accounts. But even if the zombie account links

to the website and / or other social media networks and may add to your sheer volume of followers, itdoes not convey the message or call to action. The point of social media marketing is engagement, not

volume. Volume is a tool and that which does not engage wastes marketing time.

Begin registering your social media sites by creating a single email address to make maintenance

easier.

Don't Overdo Your Social Media Campaign

The shotgun approach to social media sites means registering with any and every social network.While the shotgun approach may seem to maximize engagement by maximizing potential audience it

dilutes the message and creates serious problems in managing the content across too many platforms.

Each social network shares content differently and the users of each social network have uniqueexpectations for how and what content is shared. A one update fits all approach will not work and

you will never be able to keep up with users in every market. And what's the point of having an

untended flock?

While services exist to link accounts linking all accounts and posting identical content across theboard means the agency is using one social network to its maximum potential, and missing out on the

unique potential of all the others. No one can hand maintain every single social network, and blindcross posting reduces your ROI.

Begin With Four Accounts Maximum

For an initial campaign select up to four social media networks which best reflect your voice and

the consumer's habits. Register the simple and memorable identity you chose previously with the socialmedia networks using the shared email. These accounts willbe linked, but only according to a Social

Media Content Flow scheme discussed in the next chapter. After the initial campaign drive other social


10/18

networks may be added, but generally only when there's a demand to expand to that network.

The Market Chooses Your Social Networks

When choosing which social networks to begin your campaign consider your market research.Facebook and Twitter are a must have in the current market, but if the audience expects videos, images,

or live broadcasts in their niche then consider sites such as tumblr, youtube, or livestream. If you're a

corporate or professional personality sites like Google Plus, Plaxo and LinkedIn may contain morepotential clients than Bebo or Habbo. Sharing content in a way familiar to the audience is as important

as what content you share and who the audience is. Wherever you found the most active or largest

communities during your market research is where you begin your social media campaigns.

Use the existing art you mined during the initial interview phase of your social media campaign toselect a single image (or avatar) for all social media networks. Choose an image recognizable at both

400x400 pixels and 100x100 pixels. Fill in biographical and other user data based on the information

and press material gathered during the interview phase but include the key words and key topicsuncovered during the market research.

Be Easy To Find And Identify

Provide simple, information, factual biographic and user data with natural sounding keywordimplementation. Consider filling our social media profiles from the potential customer's point of view.

A user should be able to glance at a profile and know who the client is, what they've done, where they

do it and come away with a call to action, even if that call to action is nothing more than add thisuser. Also indicate the type of content being provided by the social media account so users can make

the call if they want to receive it. A user who wants to receive your content produces sales, while a user

who does not is a waste of shelf space. Fifty followers who are listening produce more leads than onehundred who are not and results in a more efficient social media campaign.

Posts should be short. Even blogs. The average Internet user tunes out after 300 words.

Social Media Content Flow & Linked Accounts

With the first link, a chain is forged. - Captain Picard

Linking social media networks streamlines both organic and automated posting.

Organic posting means a human sitting behind a screen typing an update for a social network. It canbe a blog post, microblog, status update or sending a photo or video blog, but a human is sitting there inreal time doing the hard work. In the early days of social networking a user who created an update and

wanted to share that content on other networks had to post the content or link to that content on each

network individually. While organic updates are necessary, they are also time consuming and when

they are done by the client difficult to direct. To make posting simple for the client while also reachingthe right audience with the right content you must Link social media networks.

What is a Linked Account?

Linking social media networks means the content posted on one account automatically posts to

another. Not linking accounts increases your investment (time) without affecting your return (sales).

However, simply linking all accounts without engineering a content flow means neglecting theexpectations and needs of users on each account. In a situation where the agency is posting in a manner

not consistent with the expectations of users on a particular network we lose potential interactions and

diminish our impressions as users tune out.

The Direction Content Flows In Is Paramount

When linking social networks you choose which direction the content posts. While a facebook page

may post to a twitter account, that twitter account needn't post to the facebook page. When choosingwhich direction content flows consider the type of content shared on the social networks, the frequency

of posting expected and the character limits associated with the social network.

There are as many content flow designs as there are clients and how a client creates posts depends

entirely on their own personal comfort level. As an example, lets take an old school novelist who iscomfortable with words but not comfortable with the Internet beyond email. She might not understand

character limits or keywords, but wants to take an active part in providing content for his social media

campaign.

A blog is best if she's not interested in status updates or tweeting. Building a Wordpress poweredwebsite for the her and enabling email updates allows them to post blog content, short stories or

anecdotes they want to share with readers, from a comfortable place: her email client or webmail

account.

After instructing her to post all their content to that email go into the Wordpress dashboard and editthe Sharing options under the Settings bar to connect to the clients Twitter and Facebook Fan Page.

Now when the author posts from her laptop the update will automatically send to the social networks

with a character limit appropriate autopost. That way she can just write her blogs but also have hermust have social networks remain active.

Avoid Spamming & Double Posts Due to Mismanaged Content Flow

This point, however, is where content flow management enters the picture. Depending on the wayyou choose to manage or your Automated content the Facebook fan Page may be set to auto-share all


12/18

updates. In this situation the blog post would update the Facebook Fan Page and the Fan Page would

send a link to twitter, but that link would track back to Facebook- not the blog. It would also result in

double-posting. You want Wordpress, in this case, to post to twitter as the posts are tailored to twitter

user expectations, but you don't want Facebook posting the same content in a different place to twitter.

You'll have to control your content flow by disabling the option on the Facebook Fan Page which

posts blogs / notes to twitter, while keeping status updates.

This is just one example, another setup might be as simple as setting up ping.fm groups and training

the client to use group tags via email, if at all.

Generally, organic content flow follows a few simple rules.

Microblogs don't post to status updates, but status updates can post to microblogs.

Neither status updates or microblogging feeds to blogs, but blogs feed to both.

Text driven social networks don't post to media driven networks, but media networks post to

text networks.

The end game of content flow control is to get as much coverage out of a single update as

possible while staying in the context of the network.

Building Clout through Automation

He kept talking and talking in one incredibly long unbroken sentence... - Captain Picard

Before engaging users with organic content or driving them toward sales via automated CATs build

an audience via third party auto-friending softwares.

Control the Conversation

The idea of automated or mass friend adding on social networks seems to fly in the face of their

very nature: SOCIAL networks. No one wants to interact with a software any more than they joinedfacebook, twitter or tumblr to be marketed to.

But think of it like a rock concert. Bands don't go to every individual fan's house and play the set,

they call them together at concert halls. Think of their music like content. When dealing with a mass

audience you are still dealing with social interactions, and in fact the large scale nature of the messagein fact defines it. You've done your market research, and you'll use that research to reach out to users

who have expressed public interest in similar brands as the one you represent. You'll get their attention

by adding them and they can choose if they want to be part of the community that listens to your postsor not. The beauty of this is that its all based on mutual consent to a social contract between Brand and

Users.

Automation Is a Tool, Use It Like Any Other

If the social media platform permits (facebook fan pages do not allow brands or groups to add users)

then you use your automated adding software to invite users to follow you by adding them. Auto-

adders allow you to choose which users to add by inputting certain criteria. This is where you'll useyour keywords and key themes from the market research. You'll want to set your auto-adder to search

for and add every user using your keywords in discussion or in their profiles. You'll also want to set

your auto-adder, if possible, to only ad users active within a certain time frame, usually the a week to aday.

The Add-Unfollow Cycle

Once your auto-adder has added a certain number of people you wait. If your auto adder is up tosnuff it provides statistics on how many users have followed you, how many have not, how many have

followed you and who has not been active lately. Watch these numbers and unfollow those users who

are not engaging you which will give you more room to add users who match your key terms or showinterest in your key themes.

This Add-Unfollow cycle is ongoing and when you meet your follow quota, if you have one, you

may choose to stop the cycle and begin engaging with organic posting. You may also choose to

unfollow the bulk of the group, it depends on what type of campaign your running and what type ofpublic image you want to maintain. The point is for any social media campaign to have reach you must

have an audience and giving users the chance to follow you via automation is the only way to achieve

this audience and maintain a winning ROI.

During the add-unfollow cycle you'll need to make automated posts, as well, to demonstrate

your brand or client's relevance to the users and to begin driving your base towards your call to

action: sales.

Social Media-Fu: What to Post (And When)

Engage!' - Captain Picard

In a social media campaign there are three type of posts: Informational calls to action, Engagement

call to action and organic.

The Different Types of Social Media Posts

Informational and Engagement calls to action may at times overlap, and this is desirable.

Informational posts contain information about your brand or product preceding a link to the brand orproduct's website, blog or product. The call to action in these posts are simple: click the link.

Depending on the product these Informational posts may also include posts about the key themes

discovered in your market research. For example if you're selling Diet Coke, you may choose to post

important events in Coke's history, examples of Coke in the media, or other things directly relating toyour product. Or you may post information about Coke Classic, Aspartame, or healthy food recipes

which are all themes relevant to diet coke drinkers.

Self Determination Theory & Psychology of Social Media

Engagement calls to action are those which are intended to create a direct interaction between you

and the customer- and make use of engagement psychology. Currently Self Determination Theory has

the highest standing in the psychological world as an answer to the question, What makes people stayengaged with an activity?

There are three fundamental elements of SDT:

Autonomy

Inclusion

Competence

Autonomy means a user has a feeling of individuality and uniqueness. Inclusion means feeling that

they are also part of a group. Competence means mastery of a task or subject.

Engaging, An Example of SDT in Casual Tweeting

This may seem difficult to achieve in a single post especially with the 140 character limit on Twitter,the most fertile ground for new leads. But with a little creative thinking and knowledge of your market

research a simple, engaging, post can take less than 140 characters. For Example:

When did Jason Voorhees first don the hockey mask? First to DM the answer gets a coupon code forour new horror product.

This post gives users a feeling of Inclusion, those within the Horror Movie community, Competence,knowing the answer, and Autonomy, a Direct Message exchange. And it also includes a reward- but not

a giveaway. The reward is earned not given away and it reflects their achievement. Followed up by a

retweet of the winner and a message thanking everyone for their answers you've managed to engageusers in a meaningful way and plug your new Horror Product without simply saying: buy our new

product. Its the ideal social media execution.


15/18

A tweet for a book on grammar might take this form: Washington was our first President. What's

wrong with this sentence?

Followed by a tweet several minutes later, Washington still is our first president. The past tense

implies someone else is now our first President.

These types of informational tweets, followed by a link to the book, are also engaging and can becompletely automated.

Set Up A Minimal Automated Tweet Schedule

Four tweets such as the examples above every day are enough to demonstrate your product's

relevance to the user base you created via your auto-adder. Once you have a large enough following

you'll need to introduce organic tweets and personal interactions at least three times a day to maintain

your audience and humanize your brand.

By combining engagement theory with keywords and organic interactions with a massive audience

you will drive users toward your call to action (buy our product).

Create a Nuanced Update Schedule Across Multiple NetworksBut each social network is different. Twitter is a real time dialog and requires frequent posts to make

an impact on what are typically fast moving news feeds. Facebook, however, takes a more leisurely

pace and users commenting on a facebook post are as likely to interact and respond to each other asthey are the poster.

Most data shows that facebook is a great tool for managing users who have already purchased your

product and become fans or champions of it. At facebook you can hold long discussions and

conversations and, at a glance, know people's thoughts on it. Posting twice a week on facebook isenough to remind users that your brand exists.

Blogs, even short ones, require most users to go a little beyond their comfort zone. They have to

leave their social media client to read your content. Blogs also usually provide more in depth data andcontent. Whereas a twitter conversation consists of 140 characters, facebook conversations a fewsentences- discussion in a blog can often involve lengthy in depth comments and discussions. Posting

one post a week of 300 to 500 words, facebooking that post once, and then sharing it on twitter three

times a day is sufficient to drive users to your website and demonstrate the appeal of your product.

Blogs are also a great place to let your keywords and key themes fly.

Be relevant, be consistent and engage.

Metrics, Adjustments & Maintenance

"There is a way out of every box, a solution to every puzzle; it's just a matter of finding it." - Captain

Picard

The most time consuming, and important, aspect of a social media campaign is often Metrics.

Metrics involve analyzing data on Impressions, Interactions, clicks, searched terms and link sharing.Careful analysis of your social media metrics lets you know which keywords are drawing users, what

type of content creates the most Interactions and other data that lets you know if you're doing it right,

wrong or neutral.

Use of different analytic services can provide minute by minute updates traffic to your client'swebsite.

Interpret & React to Metrics

A nuanced analysis of this data will help you understand how to adjust your social media campaign.

If, for example, a huge spike occurred at 3:30 PM on a weekday from the east coast followed by one

four hours later from the west coast then you can assume your content for the day appealed to highschool age users checking their feeds when they got home from school. Similarly if you find that your

twitter posts are not generating sufficient site traffic then you must consider if the problem is your

keywords, your content, your style, the timing of the posts, the frequency of the posts or if you've got

the wrong message for the wrong audience.

Your keywords must be regularly researched and updated and your content refined by listening to

user response and watching it via analytics.

Twitter Hashtags & Measurement

A note on Hashtags: Hashtags do not make your posts more visible to searches. Hashtags do notgenerate interactions unless you're commenting in a hashtag community. Hashtags do, however, allow

you to track impressions on certain posts. By creating a unique hashtag and posting it at the end of yourtweet you can track the impressions and type of impressions that hashtag has through several tracking

websites.

The bottom line on metrics is to check them at least once a week and change tactics which don't

generate hits and take advantage of tactics that do.

Maintain your social media campaign, there is no one size fits all by the numbers approach. Therelevance of keywords shifts with public opinion. The interest of a demographic shifts with new

product lines. The importance of certain social networks waxes and wanes. Adapt and change. Follow

the sales, follow your market and give them what they already want.
