February 1st, 2010 Posted in Apple , Social Media Tweet Share Three months ago I accepted a contract position that would have me help build the social media and community plan for Mac Office.

For the past few months I’ve had the luxury of watching a new local business not only use social networking and community building to build buzz for their business, but integrate it so much so, that it is an integral part of their day to day routine. That’s true community, and incredibly powerful stuff.

It’s the only one of the three that truly has a community feel to it. I’m Yelper, so it just became natural to be hooked on that since my community is with Yelp. Facebook Places will survive because it’s Facebook, and Foursquare has carved out a giant piece of the location based pie so they’re most likely in.

Whether you wanted to launch a business, start a blog, or claim yourself an expert in whichever matter you choose, the web gave just about every person with an internet connection new opportunities. Often times I’m impressed with those I do some research on whether it’s reading their blogs, following their social profiles, etc.,

What really makes the platform as successful as it is, are the thousands of themes and plugins that the WordPress community contributes. These add ons turn what essentially is a blogging platform, into just about any type of site you want from community to content management systems to storefronts. It truly is amazing.

Now of course I’m not referring to the Ashton Kutchers of the world, but the common users with marketing or community backgrounds, specifically mid range users with 10k plus followers. Community, marketing, video production, are some examples of professional connections. Not the ones with 100’s of thousands of followers.

Since using Twitter more strategically, traffic to my blog from Twitter has increased to 14% (up 10%), and continues to grow. In my case, I only use Twitter for information from a search standpoint and value the larger (yet still relevant) following to increase my reach when sharing blog articles. So this method works for me.

So the question you have to ask yourself is, are you using YouTube as part of your overall marketing or blogging strategy? Post 1 video blog post bi-weekly instead of a traditional post. This would help populate my YouTube channel, and provide some variety to my blog content. Use YouTube as a community more.

If you’ve read my blog for any period of time, it’s no secret I’m a fan of Apple. The anti-Apple community allows rants on this issue, but I feel they never really factor in everything. But once again I’m blown away by the technical achievement of their latest offering, the new Macbook.
