The Personalized Power of Google+ Plus Ones

olbow's curator insight, September 6, 2013 12:04 PM

good effects on plusses. 

* recommended posts on the streams

* recommended posts are shown to your circles, but can also be shown to your extended circles

* CTA to add the person to your circle 

* last but not least, the posts plussed by your circels will score better in your google search result 

=> more than ever, googleplus tries to put people that don't know each other in contact and that's what I love with them compared to Facebook, the simple notion of circle instead of friend : you "connect" instead of "friend"

How a shipping company earned 650,000 Facebook fans in a year | PR Daily

How a shipping company earned 650,000 Facebook fans in a year | PR Daily | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
A look at how Maersk's social media manager, operating solo, engages fans on 10 social networks without bottom-line sales or gimmicks. He just tells stories.

 

When Jonathan Wichmann's boss at worldwide shipping company Maersk Line told him that the company was approaching a point of being ready to dive into social media a little more than a year ago, the two agreed that it would face some difficulties that companies that mainly communicate with the public might not.

 

"You can't fake it," Wichmann says.

 

Wichmann was a consultant for the company at the time. After joining Maersk full-time, Wichmann stepped up to handle everything virtually single-handedly.

In the year since that initial meeting, the company has accrued 650,000 Facebook fans and won awards for the social media campaign of the year and best community presence at the European Digital Awards. Maersk pulled that off in such a short time with what Wichmann calls an "insourcing" approach....

The golden rules of a successful social media strategy

The golden rules of a successful social media strategy | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it
I have had this idea at the back of my mind for several months already. And now is the time to share it with you.


Whether I facilitate workshops or advise clients, I often find myself having to explain what the phrase “social media strategy” stands for. Usually, people realize that they have been implementing a strategy all along. And, lo and behold! The door to a world of opportunities — and great ideas — suddenly opens for them.


Every industry is different. What works in a specific field may not work in another. However, some tips and rules are universal. And as such, they should be shared.

“I Tried Facebook, It Didn’t Work” : How People Misunderstand Social Media

“I Tried Facebook, It Didn’t Work” : How People Misunderstand Social Media | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Dan Blank highlights a misconception he has found among authors. I have found it among many marketers and small business people too. 

 

"I Tried Facebook and it Didn't Work" sums it up.

 

Dan reiterates the need to

 

*understand your audience

*create a relationship with them

*hold a converstaion with them

*find out what they are looking for.

 

Only then will Facebook and all other social channels start to help. 

 

Dan writes: "What is missing here is something simple, and profound: RESPECT.

 

"Respect for the audience of readers that you hope to engage. Social media is amazing in how it has provided us new ways to connect with others.

 

"But don’t be mistaken that it has somehow changed the nature of how human beings establish trust and behave – it hasn’t.

 

"The basics still matter, and those authors who leverage social media best are those who focus on the basics of understanding, caring about, and truly engaging with their audience."

 

Vey well put, Dan, thank you.
