For those folks who couldn't attend the webinar or need a refresher here are the quick notes from The World's Largest Webinar 2014 #WLW14
Theme: Always be experimenting. Test, Learn, Iterate
Key: Twitter: TW /Facebook: FB/ LinkedIn: LK/ HubSpot: HS
TW: Use photos to capture audience. "Bonobos" used as an example. Put your hashtag in your bio
FB: Fill out business facts first on your business page. Next a great photo that represents your businesss. Use FB free tools to build the page. Example: Upload existing customers lists to FB and invite them to the page
LK: For company pages use compelling descriptions that include key terms to your business. Again use a eye-catching photo. LinkedIn likes the company example "Huge"
TW: Use the 80/20 rule when posting. 20% of core business, 80% other conversations like Industry tips, industry trends. Tweets with photo attached or Vine attached more likely to be shared.
LK: Post "snackable" content with professional focus. Tips and tricks with industry focus. Use strong images. Does not need to be your content, just industry focused to professional audience
TW: Your followers are an "opt-in" list. Remember they want to hear from you. Jump into conversations around hashtags that are in your industry or specialty with a goal to get re-tweets (RTs) to expose your brand to a larger audience
FB: Same principals as TW, but FB motto is "Test, Learn, Iterate." Your Page can target posts to gender, age, locations, language, more. Use authentic voice, do not be a robot. Use hashtags on FB to help people search out content. FB likes "Kays Designer Consignment" as a success story
FB: Ads target people not cookies. Can build personas that FB advertising can match its users
TW: Use email marketing strategy on twitter. Once newsletter is published share the page but break out the contents of newsletter/email campaign into smaller engaging bits. Can do it throughout the day to have tweet content flowing
TW: For direct conversations or to get customers off TW do not use hashtags or pictures as they clutter a more direct marketing message
TW/FB: Don't be a robot. Talk like you would to friends. www.facebook.com/sts
TW: Like "Chegg" as a company with success. They used images with text included to be clever while relating their business to current trending topics, like #polarvortex. Also added a discount/promotion to tweet when doing trending marketing work
FB: Use images that are beautiful, authentic on business page
LK: Images that are professional in tone but new
TW: 20 posts a day is about right for that platform
FB: 1.5 posts a day is about right for that platfom
FB/LK/TW - Unhook your accounts because different platforms have different content consumption habits. FB friends don't want to the traffic you do on TW.
FB: www.facebook.com/business www.facebook.com/sts
LK: www.smallbusiness.linkedin.com
