Welcome to the #SocialCafe Chat at our weekly Tues 6pm PST / 9p EST slot > We chat for 30 min (soon to be 60 min again) and enjoy the company of other #SocialCafe nuts like us.
Start getting those #ShamelessPlug tweets ready > for now, tweet them any time during #SocialCafe (according to Madalyn Sklar, #ShamelessPlug was created by Deb, as in me ;) ) #SocialCafe
Anyone interested in joining the #SocialCafe team as a co-host some day? We are taking apps for weekly co-hosts... (once per month or once per two months)
A1 The best part of those: you don't need to know all the experts to get invited (just the host), but after it's published you get to connect with all of them. #SocialCafe
A1 That's how you grow your connections with likeminded people and open yourself a door for future collaboration projects. That's when communities like @MyBlogU and @VCBuzz come handy. #SocialCafe
A1 @MyBlogU has helped many articles and interviews to go live. It's also a place where you can ask for brainstorming help and editorial suggestions for your articles. #SocialCafe
A1 @MyBlogU is sister-project of @VCBuzz viralcontentbee.com - another great community that helps you get tons of social shares for any kind of content. Plus, it's where you get to meet new friends/followers and build connections within your niche and beyond. #SocialCafe
A2 Definitely Twitter and Facebook. At this point I just don't have time to do much more (my baby-girl takes the most of my time now). But using even those two you can get pretty far if you stay consistent. #SocialCafe
A2 Twitter is probably the easiest tool out there. Twitter chats are particularly cool :) Yeah-yeah, I'm a little biased there too, because I've been helping Ann @seosmarty with Twitter chats for many years now, and I love them! #SocialCafe
A2 Twitter chats usually have very friendly crowds :) You show up there a few times, people start recognizing you and follow you back. And eventually become a part of your collaboration success. #SocialCafe
@SanaKnightly @seosmarty I remember pestering Ann to start a Twitter Chat for #MyBlogGuest. I think I was annoying in my pestering, but it was how we met in 2012 :). I'm glad she decided to try it! The world is a better place ;). #SocialCafe
@SanaKnightly I have found twitter chats are more about engagement and less about "what's in it for me" than other social media gathering places. #SocialCafe
A2 Google Alerts are very handy too for tracking both people, brands and keywords you are interested in. Sign up once, and Google will do the rest for you. #SocialCafe
A3 Consistency. If you have found your passion - commit to it. It's a hard work to get your name / brand out there. It's not something you can do once in a while. It's your 24/7 job. #SocialCafe
A3 Activity. Regular posts on your blog or Youtube channel definitely bring more visibility. Also make sure that your social feed is updated daily as well. @vcbuzz can definitely help you there with minimal efforts ;) #vcbuzz #SocialCafe
A3 Be nice! These days people tend to get a little aggressive for no good reason trying to prove their point. I see that a lot on social media, and that is very upsetting. #SocialCafe
A3 I'm not saying you should change your point of view and believes, but there is always a nicer way to express yourself without offending anyone. #SocialCafe
@socialwebcafe Consistency shows you are a valuable asset to others. If you are all over the place then people don't know where you fit! (and it is possible you don't either) #SocialCafe
@SanaKnightly That is so true @Sanaknightly I thought it was just me but yes, I've notice the aggression and the dissension of a lack of kindness. Good point! #SocialCafe
On a side note, for Twitter chats fans here's a great free tool twchat.com - TwChat was designed with QA chats format in mind and not only. #SocialCafe
@Kathrynclang I hadn't thought of it in those terms, as far as demonstrating that you are a valuable asset for others... until this evening. This discussion is helpful! ;). #SocialCafe
A4 If you are new and not sure how to find communities to join here are some tips from Alissa M. Trumbull @AnOrchidInBloom viralcontentbee.com/index.php/how-… #SocialCafe
A4 A perfect tool does not exist. Don't be afraid to try new things. Yet don't expect to try every tool out there - the life is not that long after all ;) #SocialCafe
A4 Find out what works best for you and try to get the most out of it. It's doesn't mean you should stop looking for more. Having a set of 3-5 tools that work great for you is your valuable daily asset. #SocialCafe
A4 Never give up :) As with everything else collaboration requires a lot of efforts and a certain amount of luck. If you are passionate about something just stick to it - that's your key to success. #SocialCafe
@SanaKnightly Right - too often we try to keep doing what we did when we need to be focused on doing what we know to do instead. Be ready and willing to adjust and change - EVEN within collaboration #SocialCafe
Sana @SanaKnightly - you have made so many excellent points and advice.. I definitely need to review the #SocialCafe transcript (and I need to learn that point about moving on eh? ) :) twitter.com/SanaKnightly/s…
