Q1 To ensure that you are representing your brand it is very important to put yourself out there and not be anything your not! Make sure you engage in your brand with good values and make sure your brand is ethically responsible! #socialcafe#TwitterChat#makinggood
@HillaryKent13 Good point, @HillaryKent13 Or, good points! I especially love the part about ethically responsible! Some people miss that one and I'm glad you pointed it out here ;) #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe I refound my voice . . . and when I refound it then it became easier to engage with people, find my target, and really enjoy what I was doing. #SocialCafe
A2 I do have a couple of other brands, if you will (like my music brand). I don't isolate the brands, but I ensure I am in the frame of mind for the correct brand. Like not going on and on about Jazz music on this Twitter profile ;) #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe A2. Our brand is collective representation of how we interact with others. The positive and the negative. So all times. Not profile imagery. #socialcafe
@BilalJaffery Good point. It is so easy to think in terms of the singular, but of course that is not the case and certainly not always the case. Yes, collective representation. Makes sense. #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang I like your snark, @Kathrynclang ! I wish I had more snark. Tho, if you asked my kids.. They have been known to ask me to tone it down before meeting bf parents... #SocialCafe
Q2 It is not just your profile and your tweets that matters to your brand on #Twitter ... It is everything! What you like, who you are following, who is following you, what you post, what you retweet, what you comment on. Every engagement counts! #EEC#Socialcafe#TwitterChat
Q4 What successes (or validations) have you experienced when it comes to representing your brand on Twitter? #SocialCafe (Or, what successes or validations would you like to experience?)
@Kathrynclang Oh, but isn't that fun? I just dish it back and then my daughter and I do that to my husband... But, he just walks away and picks up the guitar... one of them.. lol #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney@socialwebcafe Oh no no no - no Siri in this house. Even the Google voice that gives me directions lies to me and we argue about that. She is more than enough for me to deal with #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe I have a house FULL of them . . . and they love word play, quoting movies and music randomly, and accents - my house is a daily stage show #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney Ok, please forgive me... I started laughing out loud. I was picturing you getting after Google voice in a conversation with it. Not that I haven't done that (wink) #SocialCafe
@conpsweeney It is definitely part of my brand, and I am okay with that now. #SocialCafe You have to be okay with your brand because not everyone else will be!
@socialwebcafe It is but at the same time every social media platform has a good amount to handle when it comes to making sure your brand represents you in the best way possible! #SocialCafe#TwitterChat
@HillaryKent13 So true! When I began, I was trying to be everything to every social platform. Then, when I realized the definition of "every" I realized balance was advisable and to stick with the main ones. #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe Not just sticking with the main ones but stick with the social media platforms that is right for your brand! It is very important to make sure that your brand is on the right platforms to ensure the most success! #SocialCafe
A5 Inspired by @conpsweeney mention of normal... Find your own normal, who you are... go with that for your brand and how you set up your profile and engagements #SocialCafe
@HillaryKent13 Oh, I stand corrected. You are absolutely right, @HillaryKent13 In actuality, I stuck with the ones that fit the brand, but you make a very good point and one that needs to be stated so people don't just go for the main ones (like I suggested) and miss the others #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang@conpsweeney Isn't that fun? I love it when my daughter makes crepes. When she comes home, she takes over the kitchen and cooks and bakes for us :) #SocialCafe
Q5 Tips: Always be true to your brand and make sure what you are portraying out on the internet is what you want the world to see! #SocialCafe#TwitterChat#branding
@socialwebcafe@conpsweeney And speaking of my amazing middle son . . . the chef . . . he got up before dawn this morning to make a breakfast casserole. :) I AM BLESSED! #SocialCafe
