5 rules of social media 1. Listen. Social Media is not about you. It’s about people’s relationships with you. Listen before you speak. 2. Get involved. Social Media is about conversations and building relationships. It takes effort. Don’t just talk about yourself. Ask questions, engage people and link. Most of all, be inspiring. 3. Give up control. You can’t control the conversation. If you want people to spread your message, you have to trust them. Listen. Inspire. Engage. Let go. 4. Be honest. You can’t spin the truth with Social Media. Be open, honest and authentic in everything you say and do. 5. Think long term. Don’t expect immediate, easily measurable results. It takes time to build trust and make connections.
Our future members are online. We need to be there too.
