Since the hardest part of any project is the “doing” part I thought I would pass along a great post that magically appeared in my Google Reader the other day.
The biggest challange that i hear from many businesses that are getting their feet wet in Social Media is how?
How do I incorporate regular social media participation into my day? The last Third Tuesday here in Vancouver had a long discussion on the frustration of “too much time needed for social media” Check out Raul’s Live Blog of the event.
Ian Lurie from internet marketing firm Conversation Marketing wrote a great post to show just how easy it is to get into the social media groove. Click to check out his post here for 5 Social Media Builders in 10 minutes.
Ian focuses on a few Social Sites that are fairly generic and indeed will provide a great start.
Remember!
Just remember these few points:
- Be Part of the Conversation not a broadcaster
- Add value to the community, not just personal gains
- Start looking for niche specific areas to interact with (either within the mentioned sites or specific sites for your niche). This could be a facebook or flickr group or a meetup.com group for your specific industry.
- Just do it!
