??????? ? ???? ??? ??? ???????. ?????, ?? ???????? ?? ????? ???????. #SocialCafe

I’ll be there with bells on! ? Who else is joining us? #SocialCafe  https://twitter.com/socialwebcafe/status/946780203187130368 …

Wow - how time flies when you are having fun! Thanks, all, for the great ideas. I'll get working on our 2018 #SocialCafe calendar. Have a great one! #SameTime #NextWeek

@Kathrynclang Thanks, Kathryn! I can get the social fun ready to share and don't mind a tiny kick :). But, I like that you have us on your schedule. Thank you! #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Sure, let's discuss offline #socialcafe

@socialwebcafe I'll be happy to share out - just may need a kick to remember - although you are in my schedule so it's a lot easier now :) #socialcafe

Have to run now! Thanks for joining us tonight! Hope to see you all next week! #HappyNewYear to all from #socialcafe

In simpler terms.. I can make a commitment to approach reps, but need help with tweets advertising the chat (I'll prepare graphics, etc.). #SocialCafe

I'm going to throw an idea out there for you. In 2015, we did two 10-week series with reps.. a lot of work (no complaints) but I could use some extra help in getting the word out, for the reps' sake. Any takers? #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @socialcafechat @buffer @hootsuite @TweetDeck That would be great #SocialCafe

@robofthunder @socialcafechat @buffer @hootsuite @TweetDeck Maybe we will revisit what we did in 2015 and invite some of the Tool Company representatives to join us for the chat. :). #SocialCafe

@Kathrynclang Another great one... Love how you say it, "relentlessly helpful!" #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat A3. More talk on media tools!!!! Like @buffer @hootsuite & @TweetDeck Tools are always useful. #SocialCafe

A3: If you build it, they will come! Build a habit of engaging with others and build a reputation for being relentlessly helpful! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney @socialcafechat So true! #MoreBuzz #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat A3) We need more buzz! #socialcafe

#SocialCafe  https://twitter.com/Kathrynclang/status/945841928020615168 …

@socialcafechat A3: Most important lesson of 2017 - never let someone else dictate your voice. Be true to who you are! #socialcafe

Q3 What did we learn in 2017 that we could apply to 2018? Especially in social media marketing? #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney @socialwebcafe Oh . . . they know. BELIEVE me . . . they know ;) #socialcafe

@conpsweeney @Kathrynclang Very true. We wouldn't want that. #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @Kathrynclang Yes, I wouldn't want people to think we're being social simply to make money off of them! #socialcafe

@Kathrynclang @socialcafechat Yeah, one of those things you don't want to miss out on if you find out it could have been helpful. #SocialCafe. #BeInformed

@conpsweeney @Kathrynclang So, Con, you mean being careful that we don't align Twitter too closely with all of the other social networks? Realizing it is its own animal? #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat I was in on a chat recently and would love to learn more about how it works and how it could work for me #socialcafe

Q2 Not sure if this should be a separate question, but curious about the idea of a month focused on bitcoin/cryptocurrency. Any interest? Or, maybe one week of #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @Kathrynclang Nothing wrong with that but #twitter just looks like low hanging fruit to me and I think we need to be careful about wrapping it too closely to the social component #socialcafe

@socialwebcafe @robofthunder @socialcafechat Yes - when to post, what to post, where to post, and how to post :) #socialcafe

@robofthunder @socialcafechat Ooh, I like that one, too, Robert. That may be just the right one for January, starting the year... #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe That could work - each week of that month you talk about mastering a different aspect of the "social media art" :) #socialcafe

@Kathrynclang @conpsweeney @socialcafechat I like the idea of basics.... #SocialCafe #BuildingTheFoundation

A1: Back to the Basics - keys to business growth even in the age of the internet. #socialcafe

What about monetization with other social networks? Or, maybe as a part of the "art of social" as Kathryn @Kathrynclang says :). #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat A1. Developing a social media strategy. #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @socialcafechat Yes, especially you and me! #socialcafe

@socialwebcafe @conpsweeney @socialcafechat I think that all social media platforms have a place moving ahead, but we have to get back to the basics of what it takes to build a business and the success we want. #socialcafe

@conpsweeney @socialcafechat We are still determined to figure out that monetization, eh? That would be helpful for all of us. #SocialCafe

@Kathrynclang @socialcafechat Oooh, that has a nice ring to it! Good one, Kathryn #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat A1) Monetizing #Twitter, is organic growth on #socialmedia dead?, does #twitter have a future #socialcafe

@socialcafechat The art of "social" - tips on making social more . . . SOCIAL :) #socialcafe

@Kathrynclang @conpsweeney Good to see you! #SocialCafe

Q1 Finalizing our 12 topics for 2018. Any other topics you would like to suggest? #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney @socialwebcafe Sorry I missed out on #LinkedInChat :) but here for the second half of #socialcafe

@conpsweeney Yes, quiet is good. Same here. Nice time with family. #SocialCafe

@deepthink5 Hey Lee - Thanks :) #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Glad to hear! Holidays were quiet which is just the way we like them! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney Doing well. How are you? How were your holidays? #SocialCafe

#SocialCafe  https://twitter.com/socialwebcafe/status/945836633986912256 …

@socialwebcafe Greetings Deb! #socialcafe

Welcome, everyone, to our last #SocialCafe of 2017. Can you believe we have been doing this... going on six years? Wow! Great ride and all because of you!

I’ll be moving over to #socialcafe with @socialwebcafe to have an open ended #Twitterchat on #socialmedia #linkedinchat

#socialcafe Starting soon!

@socialwebcafe Happy #Holidays to you, too! #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/socialwebcafe/status/943307463746502657 …

@conpsweeney Merry Christmas to you, too. I'm looking forward to next week. #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/conpsweeney/status/943307259559456769 …

It's always so hard to say goodbye! Easier to schedule this tweet to say thank you for joining us at #SocialCafe and see you next week!

@conpsweeney Oh, that's right... Our next #SocialCafe is after Christmas. Happy #Holidays everyone!

Going to bail now! Thanks for participating all! Merry Christmas to all! See everyone next week! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney @socialwebcafe I 2nd that. Thank you very much, Con. #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/socialwebcafe/status/943306849025114112 …

@Kathrynclang @conpsweeney :). #SocialCafe

@Kathrynclang @socialwebcafe Be careful #SECFOR routinely check out Deb! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney Thanks for sharing, Con. Thanks for asking the question, @MendyYButler #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @conpsweeney My anchor word is part of my White Board of World Domination :D #SocialCafe

@Kathrynclang @conpsweeney Oooh... I like that! #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney @Kathrynclang Overwhelm myself? Never #sarcastic #lol #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney @socialwebcafe I'm working on my plan for the #NewYear, and my anchor word for 2018 is PURPOSE - taking actions on purpose and for a purpose - so intentional writing fits :D #SocialCafe

A3 If you have a tool that auto-suggests #keywords definitely consider that tool, even in using it in other apps (i.e. my Instagram tool for #Twitter) #SocialCafe

Primary are the critical few that distinguish you Secondary are more common but still help to define you I recommend 6 of the former and 12 of the latter in a typical #linkedin profile #socialcafe

I like using  https://lsigraph.com  as well since it is so quick #keywords #SocialCafe

@MendyYButler Ah, another great idea! Using a #cheatsheet must really help.. thanks! #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @Kathrynclang You'd never do that now, would you Deb? ;) #socialcafe

Q3 Any other ideas when it comes to #Twitter and #keywords ? #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney primary? secondary? #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/conpsweeney/status/943305034221211649 …

@Kathrynclang The only way to go! #socialcafe

@Kathrynclang Sometimes it is an interesting balance.. being intentional and avoiding overwhelming the list of task #SocialCafe

I research #keywords and have built a cheatsheet. #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/socialcafechat/status/943303943131512833 …

@conpsweeney @socialcafechat Oh yeah (keeping tabs open) ... sometimes too many.. lol #SocialCafe

A2: This (double now) challenge to use #keywords has me thinking I need a more intentional plan for my content and especially the shares moving forward #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @socialcafechat I always keep my tabs open! Don't you? Also, I distinguish between primary and secondary #keywords #socialcafe

@conpsweeney @latermedia Sure thing :) #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe @latermedia Thanks for sharing! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney @socialcafechat That is a good idea, Con. How would you suggest? Keep it open in a tab so it is available? #SocialCafe

A2 This is a strange one, but I actually like to use #Instagram tools when really attacking #keywords @latermedia is my favorite tool right now - really helpful with #keywords #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat A2) #GoogleKeywordPlanner #twitter search and an old fashioned Google search #socialcafe

Q2 What are some tools or strategies that help you to use #keywords more effectively (or easier) in Twitter? #SocialCafe

@MendyYButler Exactly! Very good point (using #keywords to search for your target audience) #SocialCafe

You can use #keywords to search for your target audience #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/socialcafechat/status/943301929983266816 …

@socialwebcafe @socialcafechat Especially regarding #socialmedia #bitcoin & other #tech #socialcafe

@MendyYButler Welcome, @MendyYButler :). Sure thing. #SocialCafe

I sometimes forget when creating a tweet, but I definitely use it in searching for tweets and tweeps #keywords #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney @socialcafechat Definitely (finding leads, etc.). It also helps with finding interesting articles. #keywords #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Yes, definitely include the hashtags! #socialcafe

Thank you Deborah. #socialwebcafe #socialcafe  https://twitter.com/socialwebcafe/status/943299918705213440 …

@Kathrynclang @socialcafechat So glad you are seeing the value in it :). #keywords #SocialCafe

@Kathrynclang @conpsweeney Oh, good! Good to see you, Kathryn #SocialCafe

A1 Sort of old-school now, but I basically try to add #hashtags in the sentence and at the end, as far as using #keywords. #SocialCafe

@socialcafechat A1) #keywords on #twitter can help you find leads, research, and allow others to find you #socialcafe

@Kathrynclang @socialwebcafe Thanks again! #socialcafe

@socialcafechat A1: Wow . . . I hadn't even considered using keywords in Twitter. I definitely need to invest more time and learning into keywords! #socialcafe

Q1 How can you use #keywords effectively in Twitter? #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney @socialwebcafe And we ARE learning! Thanks for doing it! #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe That's our going in assumption Many who attend #linkedinchat are there to learn about #linkedin #socialcafe

@conpsweeney What was the consensus, that it was effective? #SocialCafe

Well, good discussion around how #keywords are used on #linkedin #socialcafe

But, first, let's check with @conpsweeney on how the #LinkedInChat went. Con? #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Well, Deb! Yourself? #socialcafe

Tonight, the plan is to continue where #LinkedInChat started, with the topic of #keywords. #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney Hey, Con. How are you? #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Greetings Deb! #socialcafe

Welcome to our 30 min #SocialCafe Twitter Chat! Glad to have you, even hovering ;)

I’ll be moving over to #socialcafe with @socialwebcafe to have an open ended #Twitterchat on #socialmedia #linkedinchat

#socialcafe Starting soon!

#SocialCafè by @manzorob, @Valerio_Scanu “Christmas Songs”: la magia del Natale in un fantastico viaggio nel mondo Disney ???? #ValerioScanuChristmasSongs  http://pinkitalia.it/social-cafe/valerio-scanu-christmas-songs-la-magia-del-natale-in-un-fantastico-viaggio-nel-mondo-disney/ …

@socialwebcafe @conpsweeney Twitter is NOT dead but I think it is one of the most SOCIAL of the #socialmedia platforms. #SocialCafe

So, we will see you #SocialCafe 'ers same time, same place next week!

#socialcafe Have to run now! Thanks for joining! See everyone next week!

@conpsweeney Yeah, I dare say there is such a thing as thinking too much and I may have hit it this week! With that, I'm thinking of sparing #SocialCafe any further....

@socialwebcafe For sure! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney And, like I said last week (didn't realize it's been a week already!) ... I wrote an article on the investment changes when it comes to bitcoin.. interesting topic #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe Sometimes you scare even me Deb! ;) #socialcafe

Then, again, with all the work on the dissertation this week (topic: white-collar crime).. maybe hubby doesn't want me to have any more anything (i.e. streams) of thought! #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe #bitcoin is a safer investment #socialcafe

@conpsweeney Ah, but you get the eternal thankfulness of starting another stream of thought, Con! #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney #goodPoint In the #TwitterCoOp you buy a piece of the #TwitterPie like a #TwitterShare worth _____ #SocialCafe

Sorry typo again It's mother EVEN thinks it's ugly #socialcafe

A3) We're doing #fantasy on #socialcafe now?

@conpsweeney Is that the mother that DOES think it is ugly or the mother that does NOT think it is ugly? #SocialCafe

@socialwebcafe It's the ugly 800 lb gorilla whose mother ever thinks it's ugly! #socialcafe

Q3 What about a collective purchasing #Twitter? #SocialCafe #TwitterCoOp

@socialwebcafe #showmethemoney No theory! #socialcafe

@conpsweeney True - it is not like you buy #Twitter and tuck-it-in-a-drawer #SocialCafe

@conpsweeney And, who is ... willing to share their success tips ... and who is actually sharing their success tips (1st is the willingness; 2nd is the integrity of whether that IS the tip(s)) #SocialCafe
