The great Brian Solis, who I had the pleasure of seeing live in 2013 as keynote speaker at the PRSA’s International Conference, recently published this article on LinkedIn about creative storytelling. I am, and I’m blown away by the sheer volume and commonality of something I thought was a clever professional descriptor.

Create an e-book and self-publish it on the Kindle, ePub, and iBook formats. Use a Creative Commons license that requires people to link back to your website if they use the images. Increasing traffic to your blog is probably one of the most important things you should work on this year. Sell it on Amazon.com.

Once you publish, review it and then head to your YouTube channel (or Vimeo…or both) to load that puppy. Creative Commons literally just popped up within the last few weeks. It’s also natural to go over. Load and reload.

While there are an abundance of social media policies floating around online (check out Coca-Cola’s , for example), it becomes harder to find published social media strategies.
