Behind the Scenes: How I Post on Social Media | LinkedIn | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...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."

Case study: Walmart’s PR team and how they use Twitter

Case study: Walmart’s PR team and how they use Twitter | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...One of the more interesting examples of those five, I thought, was Walmart. They had SEVEN Walmart-based Twitter accounts, by my count. Wow! I have a few clients who have a tough time managing one–and here Walmart has seven. But then again, it is Walmart.


So, needless to say I was intrigued. Serendipitiously, Chad Mitchell, senior director-digital communications, sent me a short note thanking me for the initial post. One thing led to another and next thing I knew I was sending him a list of questions to answer about how and why Walmart manages its comprehensive Twitter presence. Want to see how the PR team of a Fortune 10 brand manages Twitter? Take a look....

Twitter's Oscars stats: 3.3B tweets viewed worldwide, reaching 37M people

Twitter's Oscars stats: 3.3B tweets viewed worldwide, reaching 37M people | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

No matter what you think of Ellen’s selfie, it’s hard to deny the impact the Oscars had on Twitter this year.


Twitter revealed this morning that tweets about the Oscars were viewed more than 3.3 billion times between 5 p.m. Eastern on Sunday and 5 a.m. Monday morning. But perhaps even more impressively, Twitter notes that those tweets reached 37 million people overall — not too far from the 43 million people who watched the show on ABC.


The usefulness of Twitter during live events isn’t anything new — rather than sitting back and consuming content, Twitter lets you become an active participant. But while Twitter’s viewership is steadily increasing, the number of people sending tweets is still significantly lower. When it comes to the Oscars, Twitter says only 5 million people actually sent tweets related to the event....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

The reach, the power and the glory of Twitter demonstrated Oscar night. A cornball stunt by Ellen but her selfie has gone viral.
