Social Media Consultant/Speaker

Ok this is what you are facing as a Company..People out there are calling themselves experts in social Media and the truth is the only expert is the one who is still learning. I am not and will never be an expert in Social Media because I figure out something new every day. How do you know you’re getting the right consultant to help you in your business? First off listen to what they are saying about Social Media. 2 Do they act like they know it all? 3 Do they tell you it’s easy and doesn’t take much time at all? If the answer to any of these questions are yes or I’ve been doing this 4 years..Then you have the wrong one to help you in Social Media. Because this does take a lot of time to figure out and no one is an expert..We are all doing it every day, trying to figure out what works and doesn’t in this new media. There are some that has been doing it longer than others but watch out 4 the experts.

YouTube Webinar for videos was what I did today

I listened to the webinar on YouTube today overall good but they tell me to make video, quick and to the point. The same with your web page.

So the point is when typing up my notes, same topics were all over the place. My tip 4 you when doing a talk set an agenda of topics and keep all information on that bullet together. They suggest flip HD camera. I’m going to try it and I’ll let you know what I think. You know I’ll tell it like it is.Title is key/grabs their attention,

Most important part of video Title is key/grabs their attention, Tag/appropriate to market, and Describe/video, add URL link to your blog or web site

Content of Video
Natural light behind person you’re filming is the best light
Don’t be shy
Be yourself, Talk to camera, Focus on giving content
1 to 3 minute video clips straight to the point. Give good information on your topic—short and sweet
You can do several in a day and upload at different times
Also flip has a Camera to Computer with flip share
Iphone and blackberry app 4 video to make and upload with --Kyte

What's happening in Social Media

What is happening in Social Media now? 4 the contest on mashable, so many people think that they are now an expert on Social media and they have to tell people to vote 4 them 4 some small honors on @Mashable. Bull, if I have to ask you to vote 4 me that tells me, I’m not worth the effort. If I get 50,000 followers and I have to ask them to vote 4 me, is this an honor? No. Because I asked and people did it, doesn’t make me anymore than when I received it. The only nominations in my life that have been real, are the ones people gave me because they felted I deserved it. We do a lot in our lives that we wish someone would notice and give us credit 4 but if I have to ask you to give this to me. Do I deserve it? No. So @Mashable the winner of your contest, will I think they deserve it? No. I do have to add this @mashable has the best information on Social Media I have found, so kottos to you @mashable you just got my vote.

Email

How did you get my email? Good question did I give it to you to email me or did someone else give it to you. When I email someone, if they give it out to someone else is this good? No because I think you should consider it personal. Can I write your phone number on a public bathroom wall? That’s how I feel about my email. I get a lot of spam and just delete it. When a business emails me junk, I don’t read I delete it. Everything I do is based on would I want someone to do this to me. If you are a marketer who does email marketing good luck with that, I as a consumer will just delete. Where do you think these email scams are getting your email from? They think of their scams as a business. Be Courteous in giving out emails, if there is a onetime need attached ok but otherwise respect others property or your email address may end up on someone bathroom wall. We get enough junk mail from websites grabbing our emails don’t add to the problem.
