Over the years, I’ve offered a plethora of tips here on the blawg to help you build your Social PR strategy.
And the reason I’m such a diehard Social PR fan is that, by putting such a strategy in place, you’re building a community of supporters to back your cause … which means you don’t have to rely solely on media relations to get the word out.
Enter today’s roundup.
1. How Do You Say “Good Morning”?
Why: [It’s] “a refreshing way to start my morning; by connecting with people I may not actually have met, but who are an important part of my extended circle online. And I get to know them just a little bit more by a simple interchange, after which we all go off to start our days (or, in some cases, nights).”
2. Baby, Get (Hump)Back – Public Relations Lessons From a Whale
Why: “Everything – everything – comes down to how you tell your organization’s (or your client’s) story. That’s at the heart of what we in public relations do.”
Why: “The first thing that anyone – including the many “gurus” out there – will tell you about social media is that it’s about listening, connecting and sharing. Everything else comes later.”
4. 15 Reasons Your PR Pitches Suck
Why: “The truth is that we’ve all made our mistakes. But it worries me that some of these things – which include basic commonsense – are still happening to the degree they do. It’s one of the problems with PR.”
5. The Anatomy of the Perfect Pitch
Why: “To me, a perfect pitch would be one that secured every single story it was aiming for. And as far as I know, no one holds that record. You can, however, write a very good pitch.”
6. Through the PR Looking Glass
Why: “What I’ve come to realize is, while there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a tactician – and, in fact, I think it’s essential to understand and excel at the tactics of our business – if we want to get anywhere, we need to be able to look at the bigger picture.”
7. The Ultimate Guide to Social PR Strategy: A Blueprint for Success
Why: “The thing is, there’s so-so Social PR, there’s this-is-so-NOT ‘Social’ PR – which is most of what’s out there – and then there’s Superhero-level, stratospheric Social PR. And for PR to really work in this day and age, it’s really only the last one that counts.”
