Understanding Your Audience
•
Monitor and analyze engagement with your social media channels
•
Use a software such as Hootsuite to identify patterns, track levels of
engagement, and manage your social media presence
•
Analyze your target audiences’ social media behavior
•
Where does your audience already hang out?
•
Who do they already follow?
•
What kind of content do they engage with?
•
What hashtags do they use?
•
Identify influential social media users/channels using tools like
SocialMention and Klout
Hearing vs. Listening
•
Hearing:
Analyzing the response to your brand or products
•
What are customers saying about your brand and products?
•
Listening:
Engaging in conversations about your brand, products and
making changes in response to customer feedback
•
How is your
organization willing to change
based on customers’ viewpoints
or interests?
Learning from Peers
•
Review web presence (including underlying code) and social media
platforms of comparable publishers
•
Who follows them?
•
What type of content do they post? What hashtags do they use?
•
What can you learn from their social media strategy?
Aligning Social Media Goals and Channels
Get Creative
•
In addition to maintaining a
regular presence on several social
media channels, think about
other one-time opportunities
•
For instance, Reddit’s popular
“Ask Me Anything” subreddit is a
popular forum for authors
Blogging
•
Blogs should be personal, insightful, and relevant
•
Every post offers an opportunity to drive traffic and generate
interest through SEO, links, etc.
•
Blog posts can add value to a brand by solving challenges,
engaging audience
•
Great blog posts convert readers into leads or customers
•
Blog posts have a longer “life span” than tweets or Facebook
posts
Creating engaging content
Capturing Attention: Consistency is Key
•
Best to have a
consistent
voice
•
It can be a
different
voice on each platform
•
Have a plan for regular, informative, and
value-added
updates
•
Be
discoverable
through tags, hashtags, keywords—use these
wherever you can
•
Use SocialMention, Google Alerts, and Google Blog Search, other
tools to discover what’s being said about
you
Capturing Attention: Ongoing Features
•
Develop relatable, ongoing narratives
•
Follow along with an employee trying to solve a professional or personal
challenge
•
Follow a project through production to completion
•
Create a regular feature or series that audiences will anticipate
•
Post new author interview videos every Friday
Capturing Attention: Calls to Action
•
Where possible, use a “call to action”: directly invite audiences to
engage with your post by commenting, sharing, voting, etc.
•
Focus on engagement over sales pitches
•
Follow the 80/20 rule of thumb: 5 “engagement” messages for every 1 sales message
Capturing Attention: Rewards
•
Reward followers or loyal customers through contests, giveaways,
raffles and direct, one-on-one engagement
Determine Roles and Responsibilities
1.
Hire a dedicated social media manager
2.
Find an existing staff member to “take on” social media
3.
Spread responsibilities across a team of staff members, or
everyone in the organization

Saturday (post photo), etc.
Establish Policies
•
Which channels will you maintain?
•
How often will you post?
•
Who will be responsible for posting on each platform? Does anyone need to
approve content before it is posted?
•
What kinds of content/language/tone are acceptable?
Train Staff (and Authors) to Help
•
Don’t be shy about asking (or begging) colleagues for content
•
Create a rotating blog post schedule, worked out in advance
•
Provide guidance to authors on promoting their work and expertise
through social media
Integrate Social Media into Existing Collateral
•
Include links to social media profiles on your website, catalog,
brochures, advertisements, e-newsletters, announcements, etc.
•
Include “share this” buttons/widgets on all web pages, including
individual title pages
•
Cross-promote social media sites on each platform.
Measure Return on Investment
•
Establish goals:
Define goals such as a percentage increase in
followers or a number of posts per week.
Determine in advance how
you will
define success.
•
Monitor:
Use analytics tools such as Hootsuite, Google Analytics,
Klout, and Altmetric to monitor progress.
Keep track of which posts
generate engagement.
•
Iterate:
Incorporate findings
into your social media strategy.
Track Engagement with Altmetric
Tracks attention scholarly articles and datasets receive online from
sources such as:
•
Social media (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, blogs, YouTube)
•
Wikipedia
•
Gray literature (policy documents)
•
Mainstream news media (The Guardian, New York Times) and
discipline-specific publications (New Scientist, Scientific American)
•
Online reference managers (Mendeley, CiteULike)
Creating Engaging Social Media Content
Engaging content:
•
Educates
•
Inspires
•
Lets audiences inside
•
Tells a story
Stickiness, Spreadability, and Likeability
•
Stickiness
: How well does your content attract and hold the attention
of site visitors?
•
We can measure stickiness by looking at the number and length of visits to
our website or social media channels.
•
Spreadability
: How well does your content motivate and facilitate the
efforts of your audience to “spread” the word
•
Spreading content far and wide can introduce you and your products to
unanticipated new markets.
•
Likeability:
How well do audiences trust you and your brand? How
positive is their impression of you?
“When people are sharing a
BuzzFeed
list or
quiz, they're doing it partly for the content
and partly to connect with someone else in
their life. When you think about media that
way, it starts to look like a form of
communication. And when media becomes a
form of communication, technology becomes
a more important aspect.”
—Jonah Peretti, CEO,
BuzzFeed

Crafting Effective Social
Media Content
Elements of “Microstyle”
Microstyle: Copywriting for the Digital Age
•
Micromessage
: An extremely brief communication, part of a societal
trend toward shorter messaging
•
Examples: Tweets, headlines, slogans
•
Microstyle:
Practices for crafting engaging, effective content on a
small scale
Creating Meaning in 140 Characters
•
The micromessage is a
key that opens the door
, the beginning of a
journey—
meaning is the destination
•
The less meaning that is explicitly encoded in a message, the more to
be discovered in the search for relevance
•
The human mind takes in information, and relates it to the situation,
the context, what you already know and believe, in a search for
relevance
Keys to Meaning
•
Clarity, simplicity
: Especially in headlines, informational Tweets, email
subject lines
•
Word choice
: Pay attention to nuance, take the time to select
le mot
juste
•
Imagery
: Concepts with sensory and visual appeal very suited to short
messages
•
Emotional appeal
: Meaning doesn’t have to be limited to
information. Think about how your message makes your audience
feel
.
Tips for Creating and Playing with Meaning
•
Evoke specific situations
•
Zoom in on vivid details
•
Tap into metaphor
•
Use ambiguity with intent
•
Defy expectations, be surprising
Sound Advice
•
Say it Out Loud:
Be aware of how your messages sound when spoken
•
Keep it simple
: Make sure the sound is easy to figure out from the
spelling, easy to pronounce, and easy to understand when you hear it
•
Give it rhythm
: Language has rhythm, go with it
•
Play with Poetic Patterns
: Alliteration, rhyme, cadence, the music of
language
•
Make the Sound Fit
: Exploit the relationship between sound and
meaning
Structure and Word Play
•
Break the rules
: Not always essential to follow grammar, spelling
conventions
•
Coin a new word
: neologisms
•
Make a play on words
•
Combine words artfully
•
Use grammar expressively
: Combining concepts in certain ways can
lead to new insights
•
Repeat structures
: Parallelism adds an extra dimension
•
Teach an old cliché new tricks
: Find a unique twist on an idiom,
cliché, or common expression
Pay Attention to Context
•
On the web, marketing has become conversational
•
Evoke conversation
: Informal conversational style that people use
with family and friends
•
Memorable enough to be repeated and interesting enough that people will
want to repeat it
•
Establish a relationship
: Properties of message set the tone for the
relationship you want to establish
•
What is the context? Work, family, friends?
•
Create a microvoice
: Make a personal impression based on your use
of language
•
“On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog”
Activity
Applying the SMART Goals Framework to Social Media Strategy
Instructions
•
How can we use social networking in service of a
strategic priority
(“to
contribute to undergraduate student success and retention”) and a
programmatic goal
(“to publish 1 OER by the end of the next fiscal year,
focusing on providing alternative course materials for a high-enrollment
course”)?
•
Develop 5 goals specific to social networking.
•
Make sure to use the SMART framework. Goals should be specific, measurable,
achievable, realistic, and time-bound.
•
Consider different social media platforms and tools, and how to reach different
target audiences.
•
You may make assumptions about their context, resources, etc., but make your
assumptions explicit.
Activity
Developing a Social Media Campaign for a New Book
Instructions
•
Select one of the scenarios provided.
•
Develop a short marketing plan
that includes the following elements:
•
Roles and responsibilities (who will perform which marketing functions, including
how the author will participate)
•
Channels (where will you promote your journal and its content)
•
Content types (will you simply link back to articles, or create webinars, or other
original content)
•
Schedule (how frequently will you aim to update your channels)
•
Three measurable goals for your social media activities.
•
Write several Tweets or a short blog post
for the book, making sure to
apply concepts of microstyle and micromessaging discussed previously.
Activity
The Dark Side of Impact
Instructions
Scenario 1:
•
Will you ask the editors to retract the article?
•
Will you (or the editors) issue a public apology?
•
How will you recommend communicating the
decision with the author?

How will you respond to the provost office’s
questions about library oversight of publications?
•
Will you seek advice from anyone on campus or
beyond?
•

response to this situation?
•
Do considerations of the article’s popularity
influence into your response?
Scenario 2:
•
Will you accept the journal proposal?
•
If so, will you ask the journal to adhere to any
conditions?
•
If not, how will you communicate this decision to
the editors and the faculty advisor?
•
Will you seek advice from anyone on campus or
beyond?
