how to use your blog VS your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, G+

Your blog vs your email, facebook, twitter, photo albums  

social media lifecycle - email message - internet - facebook - camera - picture
Recently, I used Blogger to turn into a new-fangled website in support of a similarity choir. It replaced an elder website so as to was expensive to amend.

When we talked almost could you repeat that? The choir desirable, single challenge was so as to a little frequent accepted wisdom so as to "put it on the website" or "put in on Facebook" was the answer to each put out so as to involved communicating with members: It took a batch to explain so as to Facebook and the website are not truly spaces anywhere existing members look habitually. (Some members are elder, and don't even allow cellphones so as to receive SMS/text-messages, much with a reduction of computers and broadband connections).
Also, frequent were conversation almost putting videos of our concerts on top of YouTube, and I realised so as to we would need to product not worth it ways of burden this so as to be evidence for us by the side of our superlative, and not progress us into fault with copyright laws.

I didn't service this jargon whilst I was conversation to them, but the notion I had to progress across to the commiittee was

    To progress a message to frequent who aren't looking in support of it, service a "push" not a "pull" or "by the way" message. [tweet this quote]

    How to turn into a Tweet-this-quote

That capital to service email, text-message, phone call, face-to-face, more willingly than the website or Facebook summon or wall.

I plus had to progress them to understand so as to we were not linking our blog and our website - but so as to the blog would be the website:  It delivers all the skin texture so as to we need, and on the whole importantly is very comfortable to bring up to date.

Working with the board to understand their goals and month-by-month activities, I residential this calibrate of questions:

  •     How act we communicate with frequent (email/txt, Facebook, website, pictures, area newspapers)?
  •     Who is the audience in support of both tools we service (members, possibility members, audience, other choirs)?
  •     Could you repeat that? Types of messages to act we dispatch?
  •     Who is trustworthy in support of carriage the messages?
  •     How they know so as to it's instant to dispatch a message, and could you repeat that? It be supposed to say?
  •     Could you repeat that? Can both committee-officer dispatch lacking getting authorization from the board?
  •     Could you repeat that? Needs to be checked by someone as well (or maybe even the undivided committee) at the outset?

Showing this in a chart helped frequent to understand the large picture, and the role of the website and the other things so as to we service.
Your blog & social networks
Downloadable template
It occurred to me so as to frequent burden the same mechanism in support of their own casino, organisation, sports team, non-profit, or even small commercial, might plus like this chart.

So at this point is a vacant version of my stencil (MS Word format) so as to you are meet to download and adapt in support of your own spot.


What the template includes




Is this a social-media strategy for your blog?

The format beyond is fine in support of selection a membership-organisation product not worth it anywhere their blog/website fits into their overall communications tookkit: Social media are precisely single of the ways so as to clubs can break messages to frequent (members, contacts etc) and progress criticism from them.

But if your heart upshot is your blog, and you care for to service social-outposts to promote it, afterward a vaguely another planning line of attack is desirable. Modish this holder you need to progress messages to:

  •     People who indifferently visit your blog (via search results, contacts recommendations, backlinks), and whose preference in support of keeping up with could you repeat that? You act is via a little other set-up, AND
  •     People who hang not worth it on the "other network" and might notice your content in the other place and afterward visit your blog as a upshot.

To unite these needs, you need to deposit relations to all the material on your blog into the other social networks - as well as using whatever content promotion techniques product superlative on so as to set-up. You probably plus care for to deposit a little follow-invitation relations on your blog, too. This is unlike the "website as embattled communications tool" line of attack, anywhere you simply deposit undeniable, very definite content on top of your blog/site.

I'm still working on the fundamental difference linking the two approaches, and could you repeat that? Sort of worksheets might help frequent to plot in support of the 2nd holder. Any suggestions on could you repeat that? I need to cover?
