Social media tip: People don’t like being collected
You know how much I am obsessed with “long-tail blogger outreach,” right? I am a man possessed! That said, I really don’t collect people. People don’t like being collected. They — we — don’t like being part of a ménagerie de personnes (people also don’t like folks who drop French for no good reason at all, by-the-way). While it’s really too easy to collect people, it’s even easier to take them for granted — and maybe there’s a tipping point. I have been consulting some bouncing social media babies recently and they’re doing it right. They’re each running a couple-hundred followers and friends and they know every one — they’re aware of exactly who they’re following and get really excited whenever anyone follows them back.

First, a little recap about what I do for a living. I work for Page One Power who is a link building exclusive company. I work full time for them as a writer and a link builder, which means I’m working “on the floor” and usually have no connection to our clients, and they have no connection with me. However, because of my social media profiles and the fact that I’m writing under my own name for Page One Power, I’ve had avenues of contact with dozens of webmasters and editors, but my most eye-opening moments have been when clients or potential clients have contacted me directly through my social profiles.

Yesterday, Glenn Gaudet of GaggleAMP presented our latest Biznology® Webinar about how to amplify your corporate social media messages. With the introduction of social media, companies were provided an army of megaphones that had a genuine affinity for the company and its products. This army is the employee base. However, the initial fear many companies had was the inability to control the message. Today, companies are tapping into employees to amplify their social media efforts.

This post will be a relatively quick one that is a mini-rant. If you are “rant-averse,” then turn away now. My rant has to do with a piece of LinkedIn etiquette. LinkedIn is becoming increasingly important in the world of business networking. I am hesitant to call the service a social network. It’s really a business networking play which takes out a lot of the silly minutiae that sharing on Twitter and Facebook can enable. By being about business there is less tolerance for the “I just passed gas” kind of updates that make many lose their cookies. (Get it? It’s an Internet pun.) Read the remainder of this entry »
