GOOD News: Budget vs. Brains

Inbound Gives Leverage

Plain English

• Social Networking = Relationships (Hello!)– Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

• Social Media = Resources (Here!)– Blogs, audio, video, slides, photos,

• Social Bookmarking = Reciprocity (Hey!)– Delicious, Digg, StumbleUpon

Social Media – So What?

• You can bypass gatekeepers (ad agencies,

PR people, media outlets) and publish your own content: value-rich web sites, blogs, YouTube videos, photos, resources...

• So you reach consumers directly…• More involvement & More engagement…• More & better prospects = More members

Twitter Tips

• Use the # sign with your city’s name, or other subject to attract more local or targeted followers. Example: #Philadelphia or #swimming
