and after being a full time mom and performing various social media marketing tasks throughout, I’ve learned that there are many parallels that can be taken from parenthood that also apply to social media marketing. Similarly, your social media marketing initiatives might sound great until someone goes out and ruins it for you.

Epic Change decided to dabble in social media, because as Stacey says, it was “a way to cultivate a community of support for Epic Change.&# More importantly, Epic Change has a mission to empower individuals to tell stories in order to acquire financial resources to make positive change in their communities.

I needed to differentiate Digg from social media because they actually are part of a distinctive community (and as you know, I’m very passionate about Digg so it really did deserve its own category). I get fixated on one community and ditch the last, yet I still have my profiles on them and they usually get outdated within minutes.

Social media customer service is a form of marketing…marketing the company as a friendly, customer-obsessed organization. There may be individual stories about people getting their phone service back up quicker because of SM but that too is just more marketing dollars at work, not customer service dollars.

Twitter as a marketing tool. My opinion has not changed much since I wrote about Twitter’s ability to market products in March. However, I believe Twitter’s ability to market easily comes from those who associate usernames with brands. A marketing firm might want to sell a product. I still follow Woot.com.

Just do it while giving back to the community as well. Influencer outreach may possibly be the most powerful outreach tactic that PR practitioners or marketers are laziest about. When it comes to social media, social should always be carefully weighted before the marketing is put forth. Want to self promote? Engage in dialogue.
