What’s the Best Way to Get Facebook Likes &

Twitter Follows?@jaybaer #SocialAgency

A Better Question:

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

“Likes” are the new “hits” – a dead giveaway.

Social connections are a trailing indicator of success, not a leading one.

84% of Facebook fans are current or former customers.

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

Facebook gives you a maximum 16% open rate for free.

Most brands’ PTAT and Reach is much lower.

Especially on Facebook, it’s ALL about interaction.

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

The goal isn’t to be good at social media.

The goal is to be good at business because of

social media.

It’s not viral unless it is.

Most videos that go viral are carefully seeded, and part of a larger program.

Think of video as a mid-funnel tactic, rather than top of funnel.

Optimize with search terms, description, target prospects and current customers.

Be helpful.@jaybaer #SocialAgency

How Can We Create a Killer Social Media Campaign That

Gets Noticed?@jaybaer #SocialAgency

A Better Question:

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

Social happens fast, but results accrue slowly.

Winning hearts and minds a few at a time, not many at a time.

You earn the right to promote, you don’t buy it (usually).

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

Focus on how to BE social.

Worry less about how to DO social media.

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

How Can We Get Influential Bloggers to Write About Our

Client?@jaybaer #SocialAgency

A Better Question:

@jaybaer #SocialAgency

Don’t confuse influence and audience.

Emerging voices are delighted to be asked, and much more likely to participate.

Influence is no match for advocacy.

Start with customers first.

If the company is creating all the chatter, you’re doing it wrong.
