Why Social Media is Important Develop a Professional Network Relationships Stay Connected Share & Contribute Create & Manage Online Persona
“Your network is your NET WORTH”
- -- smart person 2008?
Success Stories/Examples? Jobs & careers took to next level via Twitter Solve real problems OR Help real people People ‘know’ us before they meet us IRL –
easier to get accepted to speak at conferences/meetings
Suggested Best Practices Decide type of social media presence/online
persona you want to present. But be authentic, find your ‘voice’ Separate personal and professional Know what’s appropriate for each network Privacy settings for personal as appropriate
Women and Social Media Use privacy settings to protect personal accounts/profiles. Mute anyone who provides only negative commentary to
social media feeds. Block anyone IMMEDIATELY who makes you
uncomfortable or threatens. Report anyone who is abusive, but do NOT reply or
respond to them .Your social media presence is not online for others to abuse.
How Often Should I Tweet? How often do you have something
interesting to say or share? It’s Ok to have fun Don’t force it Probably > 1-2x a day
< 100x a day
Can I Mix Biz & Pleasure? All work makes Jeff a dull boy Only tweeting ‘work stuff’ might be safer,
but it’s wouldn’t be authentic – for me Make it easy for followers to decide if
they like you or not
What to Tweet? Don’t try too hard Just jump into a
conversation – it’s how Twitter works
Use Hashtags – people search/filter #Oracle #SQLDev #OracleHelp
I HAVE TO TWEET FOR WORK You probably won’t be very good at it Empower your outgoing and SOCIAL
people to represent your organization Being on social won’t make you social –
or valuable.
Don’t Worry about Followers Especially if you don’t tweet very much! Worry more about following people that
make you:LaughBetter at your jobSmarterHappy
What Twitter App? Twitter.com works just fine for most I like YoruFukurou (Macs Only)
Google translatesFun to say!
