The Little Blue Book: Volume Four

It has come the time to some up “The Art of Social Media.” I have found this book to be very helpful. Not only does it describe what each social media platform does, it also gives tips on how to properly run these sites. I love how the book is written in such a way that anybody can understand and follow what Guy and Peg have shared with us. I just want to share with you all some of the things that I have learned and find useful from reading this “Little Blue Book!”

1.       Stay Consistent

It is very important to stay consistent between each platform that you use. You should use the same screen name and image as you are creating a profile on each site. This makes it easier for people to find and connect with you.

2.      Responding to Comments

The key here is to go three rounds. First round is the initial comment. The second round should be your response and the third round is the commenters second comment. After this point it is turned to an argument and should no longer be put on social media. If all else fails do not be afraid to delete, block, or report.

3.      Add a share button

You should add share buttons to your blog. This is a great way to get more people to follow you. They will also use this as social proof and might encourage more people to share your posts.

4.      Do not be clueless

This is where you should not tell people what to share. You also should not do things such as buy followers or ask people to follow you. Ignore the unfollows, meaning do not announce when you unfollow someone and do not ask why someone unfollowed you. Be clean and professional.

This book is full of so many more tips than I have shared with you. I hope you have learned things as I have from “The Little Blue Book.” Feel free to add some of your own comments or tips that you have learned!
