To take two examples: people complain about an issue to an important newspaper prompting them to push the issue into the mainstream, or if a TV station covers an event, that becomes an important topic. The time has come for companies to be part of the conversation. I’d like to put in my $0.02 about what happens next.

I don’t necessarily expect to meet with those folks immediately; often, these powerful relationships are formed online, and I then try to learn what I can about the blogger himself/herself and follow up, normally at a conference or industry event. I really try to get to know these people who I converse with online.

These posts are not in response to newsworthy events, nor are they displayed in any particular order. But more than that, Mike’s post explains that social media is really about using social channels appropriately to communicate and converse — and as an extension of that, you might just end up being able to sell something.

At business networking events, try to get to know people outside your group of trusted colleagues. Start conversing with the people you want to have follow you, and do it consistently. I had it for my NY METS buddies as we tend to have conversations that are lengthy which interferes with my twitter stream for biz but it was still me.

Somehow, individuals forget along the way that costs accrue when considering the venue, food, exhibit hall, and the staff required on hand to run the event smoothly. And featured it in a big presentation I did at an event here, too — so, trying to give back! It usually ends the conversation right there. Guilty as charged!

This method is smart because it helps build interest on another platform and drives conversions directly on their home base. You may find opportunities to host real life events, be them at conferences or whatever else. Why not invite your Facebook fans to a special event at your venue? Growth can be a good thing.

The scope of marketing needs to be broadened in view of the new dynamics that have employees, customers and prospects engaged in conversations – horizontally, peer to peer, in some cases even in co-opetition situations. Some communities are very open to marketers being there and contributing to the conversation.

Bloggers like Valeria Maltoni of Conversation Agent , who don’t have a team of bloggers at arm’s length, offer content on a very regular basis (in Valeria’s case, 6 days a week). Personal accounts of everyday events is what made Dooce and the Bloggess so successful. How does one do this?

It is nice to see people having an honest conversation. Affiliates need to understand demographics, work on copy (messaging), and even build out landing pages to start seeing conversions – and that’s a timely process. Also, I like the way you wrote to Julian. It really does take some effort. At least not for me.

In fact, a relationship that starts on the right foot might actually translate to better things down the road, including special event invites and freebies that might as well be equivalent to a really good ad deal. In any event, I get paid to blog on some avenues and I also blog for free on others. Perhaps, real ad sales will follow.

You need to be prepared to converse with (and not just speak to) your constituents. In the event of emergencies, someone should be designated to run the public relations and oversee all inbound and outbound communications. It’s basically like a one sided conversation when everything is automated. It’s not just media.

“Hit and run” guest posts are of little interest to us, for two reasons: (1) there’s a certain amount of work involved in getting someone set up as a new author and showing them the ropes; and (2) the community responds much much better to those they get to know and converse with regularly. Real life networking ultimately becomes key!

I also appreciate your characterization of both as ongoing processes (social media is not an event). Most say they care most about conversions. Analysing conversations on the Internet to build-up a social media strategy can lead to many options including SEO. I think there are plenty of people who do both. and michael is right.
