3: Large Brands – Bigger brands have two things that smaller companies don’t: an already built community, and money. Communities, social news sites, and online sharing can be leveraged to build a site following. They also often require large investments to create an initial community. It’s rubbish traffic. Definitely.

Ignore Social Media Checklists or ‘Top’ Lists It’s nice to be featured in press both online and off, but allowing that to influence your ego or strategy is just silly.

Google is undoubtedly huge and they could simply shrug their members off like Digg does to its much smaller userbase, but instead they engage the community and that’s why Google is such a positive brand. It’s their community of choice and that’s fine. I don’t know yet if it changes my feelings at all.

Engagement in a process called brand evangelism is one beneficial strategy to get your brand known and to help spread your message. In a brand evangelism strategy, you’d take note of those who feel good about what you are doing: they already represent your target audience. As such, it would be foolish not to embrace them.

Don’t shy away from giving your community the information needed to find you elsewhere both online and offline. Let it be posted on every social platform of choice and then watch as it seeds through other communities (which is likely to happen and shows that your marketing is viral). Give them a reason to want to communicate.
