Social media is the buzzword of the day in marketing speak, but to us mere mortals, it can prove to be a bit of a minefield. We’ve got a great workshop at the conference this year which will provide an overview of the main tools available and some practical insight on how you can use these to promote your own services. http://www.skillfair.co.uk/content/1075/Skillfair-2010-Conference.aspx
In the meantime here are a few dos and don’ts of online networking:
· Take a bit of time to get to know particular forums and discussion groups before you join – this will give you a good idea about who’s active and the way it’s run.
· Once you’ve found out about a group's protocol, make sure you follow it! Whilst some groups are happy for you to do a bit of self promotion now and again, others may not look at it so kindly.
· Beware of ‘reply to all’ buttons – if someone has requested an answer with personal information, send it to them and not the whole group!
