...I admire NPR because it is an ever-flowing source of great content. Its content is so good that it can run a pledge-drive every few months. This promotion is heinous because it interrupts programming to do the most pedestrian of things: ask for money. And yet we tolerate, if not participate in, the pledge drives!

NPR earns the right to promote its need for money, and this is a beautiful and enviable scheme. My adaptation of the NPR Model is to provide good content that people would not have found, or would have found at great effort, without me. By doing so, I earn the right to sporadically promote Canva, my books, or anything else that I please....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Guy Kawasaki shares his social media strategy and it's one worth considering:

"Following me on social media means that you are drinking from a fire hose. I subscribe to the “more is more” philosophy of social-media—meaning that I share approximately ten to fifty posts everyday to provide a constant flow of information, analysis, education, and assistance to my followers."

The Biggest Twitter Publishers of May 2014

The Biggest Twitter Publishers of May 2014 | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

In May, the BBC’s flagship Twitter news account, @BBCBreaking,  passed the 10m follower mark. What better way to celebrate the feat than to break records by passing the 3m monthly tweets barrier for the first time?


There was gradual growth for most top publishers across the board. As predicted last monthThe New York Times became the first publisher to join the BBC with over 2m monthly tweets of new content. Coupled with the BBC’s new record, could this mean that publishers at the top of the table are starting to pull away from the others, à la BuzzFeed and the Huffington Post on Facebook?


After the end of their enormously popular ‘People of the Year’ posts in April,Time dropped well back down the charts. Sports site Bleacher Report entered the top ten, while the LA Times also had a good month, climbing from 421,000 tweets to 582,000....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Steady growth for many publishers on Twitter, with the New York Times becoming the second site globally to break the 2m monthly tweets mark

I remember when I joined in 2008, that the rules of engagement were just about fun and frivolity. It was a playground for social media enthusiasts that were exploring and pushing the boundaries. It was about having conversations with people all over the world. That still happens.
