I am in the process of getting others involved with social media marketing at our company. I am sure you have heard this phrase before. In the past I have added someone to a Facebook Page or told someone to setup a Twitter Id. These types of approaches have worked with sparing results.
Till now! – After months of looking at ways to incorporate more people into a social media team, I have finally developed an approach that I believe will have tremendous success. I hope to talk about this process over the next few months.
Today – I leave you with just a few words of advice. Start with a content management strategy.
As social media evolves, it is becoming apparent that people are generating more and more content on different topics. I really believe this is the focus of a successful content strategy and social media strategy. When the two forces come together, it makes for a more directed approach and it gives people a sense of purpose and ownership in a company. It is very similar to the old position of product manager or service manager. This person is in charge for communicating and engaging people based on a particular product or service. This needs to happen before any infusion of social media occurs. (Coming in a future post)
I am in the early stages of developing this concept, but I am very excited to roll it out.
I am leaving you with this idea, so you can take it and run with it. The wheels in my brain are quickly turning and I see all kinds of opportunities. I am sure some of you will see the same thing or may be scratching your head a bit. Let me know what you are thinking and maybe I can expand more for. For now, I want to build on this idea this week and see where it will fit in with respect to planned goals and objectives.

Thanks for your comments. That is really some good information about Grouptweet.com. I checked out the site and its very cool. Thanks for sharing and I will keep that in mind as we proceed.

Brent-one thing that’s worked for us for tweeting was creating a Twitter account and then using the free “grouptweet.com”. We wanted something that didn’t mean we all had to remember another username and password and it keeps our @UNL_CropWatch Twitter feed looking fresh with several people tweeting to it. All you do is have everyone tweet from their own accounts and add the @Twitterhandle of your group account to their post. Just an idea in case it would help! Always appreciate your posts!-Jenny
