Treat Social Media Like a Basket of Fried Chicken

September 23, 2009

Social media may not be finger lickin’ good but it’s meant to be passed around as you would a bucket of chicken around the dinner table.  The idea is that you want people to share your information with others.

One of the easiest ways to do this is to simply tell people to feel free to pass on your messages or links to them to their friends. It’s funny but for some reason a lot of people won’t do this if you don’t say that it’s fine to do.

It’s all about using your presence on sites like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube to reach current friends and perhaps generate some new ones. When a friend forwards something to me I’ll probably take a look at it. It’s a passive way to do some online marketing. In this economy, it can be a great way to connect with people.
