Leveraging Sharing Behavior
I am (pick at least one):• Generous• Fun• Smart• Righteous
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
Two Types of Social Networks
Technical Networks• Commonality: occupation, professional interest, or technical
skill• Seeking/Giving: technical data, or specific job-related
information• Sharing Motivation: inclusion, status, reputation
Trust and Admiration Networks• Commonality: personal affiliation (friends, associates)• Seeking/Giving: personal views and status, advice on decisions
and purchases• Sharing Motivation: ego (recognition, admiration, and trust)
We seek to reduce risk and gain rewards…

Technical Networks

Trust and Admiration Networks
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
Sharing Motivation
1.Transactional Value – “I’m generous”
2.Entertainment – “I’m fun”
3.Information Useful for Daily Life – “I’m
smart”
4.Ideology – “I’m good righteous”
People in these two networks share thingsthat meet one or more of these basic criteria:

Transactional Value
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
“I am generous.”
Entertainment Value
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
“I am fun.”
(“And I have a lot of spare time”)
Informational Value

“I am smart.”
Ideology
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary

Social Bridging
The Goal:Changing opinions and buying decisions
through the sharing of contentby others who accept your value
proposition
i.e. , making “advocates”
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
Social Bridging
The Method:Use social media
not as a broadcast medium, but as a place to identify, empower, and
reproduce advocates
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
Social Bridging
The Mission:To locate likely advocates,
arm them with valuable content,and ensure sharing mechanisms are in
place
copyright r2integrated, LLC 2009 – confidential and proprietary
This is not a “one and done” proposition, advocates represent an ongoing relationship that must be
actively maintained.
Social Bridging
