New Media for Marketing Courses
 |
| Time to create a list! |
We worked on connecting his Facebook page and linkedin account to Twitter.
There are a few websites that let you do this but I find that people do not want to post the same content to Facebook as they do to Linkedin. I also think you need to post new content to different new media sites so that people are not getting three versions of the same thing from you everyday.
We tested out the tweets and the tweets from linked worked and the tweets from twitter to Facebook worked but we are having a problem getting posts from Facebook to twitter. (This is a new service provided by Facebook)
Because this was helpful to Tom, I will be creating a tutorial with this information so that you can also do the same thing with your twitter, Facebook and linkedin accounts.
Please, before you become too twitter happy, determine what is your strategy for each new media channel. For Tom, we tentatively decided the following:
Linkedin would be used for business connections so the content posted on Linkedin will be associated to his business network.
Facebook and Google plus would be used for students and personal depending on what group he is targeting. (Now you can target specific group on both Facebook and Google+)
Twitter would be used to get information out from Linkedin and from Facebook that everyone in general would find interesting (the dates for new classes, where he will be traveling, new projects etc)
I also made a few marketing suggestions today which included adding a welcome landing page to his Facebook page and to migrate anyone who is now in his personal Facebook account over to his business account if they are not family or close friends so that he can keep the two separate.
It was fun helping Tom start getting his new media in order. I like keeping things in order.
Cheers everyone!
