You can also perform a real time search to identify and potentially contact power users who talk about your product or service to wide audiences. For years, new search engines launched attempting to take away market share from traditional search engines. I’m not really a twitter fan but it definitely looks promising.

Just do it while giving back to the community as well. If you’re only on the forum to tell other people to visit your website or to use your product, you won’t go far. There’s definitely more to connecting via social media than creating an account and spamming others with irrelevant messages.

Every time I tell someone I’m a Community Manager , I get a varied response. &# That last one might be the most honest of the three, since asking a Community Manager whether they tweet for a living is like asking a construction worker if they cat-call for a living, or a doctor if he asks people to say “ah!&# for a living.

In the past few weeks, however, even Digg’s other top users are seeing that Digg is becoming more difficult of a social news site to enjoy, and after stepping away from Digg for awhile, I have some thoughts and reflections on how it was and possibly how it should be. The community had to react.

That’s not really convincing social proof. Then, when you’re joining a community for the first time, you’ll need to study the users and slowly build relationships with them. It can’t be fed, it can’t clean up after itself, and it definitely won’t like you if you don’t burp it.

Social Media is Fast False. Social media is by definition slow. Done correctly, social media is about developing meaningful relationships with customers and prospective customers in their natural habitat. You have to create content, be part of many communities, and proceed incrementally.

Social media connections are those I know through a variety of online forums, the blogosphere, Twitter, and the like (but I generally don’t befriend someone immediately; I still give it time). I get fixated on one community and ditch the last, yet I still have my profiles on them and they usually get outdated within minutes.

If Zicam has had hundreds of complaints about loss of taste or loss of smell, they are obligated to give a warning on the package, in promotional materials, and where any consumer may stumble upon the product. On another note, Airborne looks like a healthier product. They should pull it until they figure out how to fix their product.

If we take a look at the profile of Justin Bieber, we will notice he also promotes his product on Twitter but does not spam. You don’t need to tweet your product hundred times a day before it is seen. That’s the model that works best for bloggers, and it works the same for social media too. This is not true.

Brand evangelism is a word of mouth marketing tactic in which the ardent supporters of your service or product feel so passionately about your offerings that they act as unofficial spokespeople on your company’s behalf. Offer them free products, samples, or gifts. Spotting your brand ambassadors should not be too tricky.
