Trying to manage your social media routine can be daunting. There are so many options and tools available to choose from, how does one decide what network to join and how to proceed?
My motto for 2009 shall be experimentation. Joining a network is the easy part. Organizing your network takes skill and diligence. Thankfully, there are so many cool applications out there that help with organization. Some Twitter apps are worth a test drive: Tweetdeck and Hootsuite are some suggestions for managing Twitter groups and feeds, but there are many more.
Tags are also helpful. When you create your profile, you may want to include certain interests that you would like to share with a group of people, such as art, fashion, film and music, etc.
Once you create a profile, the heavy lifting begins and you must stay active on the network to make it worth your while. This includes listening to other conversations and following threads on Twitter as well as commenting and engaging others.
In 2008, we witnessed the explosion of Social Media. 2009 will be about monetizing these networks and making money.
We shall see.....
