engagingpotential customerssocial media
Groups / Channels:
The Golden Rules
• Always keep to the purpose of the group! Don’t share irrelevant messages about other topics.
• Do not spam the group!
• Don’t be offended if others leave. Not everyone wants the same information.
• Do politely excuse yourself before you leave a group.
• Post your message in one single chunk of text, don’t post every word or sentence in a new
message.
• Do not have one-on-one conversations in the group. Switch to private messages.
• Do not post in any group between 21:00 and 07:00 unless it is an all-out emergency.
• The group is not a political platform (unless you have specifically set it up for this purpose) No
arguing, no heated opinions, no fear mongering, no hyped up drama, no fake news. Check your
sources before you share.
• Never EVER use a group to berate someone else or air grievances. If you have an issue address it
one on one with the relevant person.
• Don’t add random people to a close-knit group.
• Always ask someone if you may add them before you add them.
• Don’t send data-insensitive messages. No-one wants their last 3GB used up on uninvited memes.
• When the group has served its purpose (the hike is over) delete it.
• Add images, audio files, short videos to grab attention.
If you are not sure,
ask yourself these
three
questions before
you post:
1. Is this relevant?
2. Is this necessary?
3. Is this a good time to
post?

Start your Blog Camp experience off by hearing from content creator and lapsed journalist, Jeff Cutler. He’s been creating messaging, blog posts, videos, photos and even podcasts for companies and individuals for decades. If you recognize the names Brookstone, UNO’s, Ford Motor Company, Fidelity Investments, IDG, Google and Adobe, you’ve got a taste of the caliber of businesses who have hired Jeff to help with their communications. In this keynote – aside from reminding you to drink your coffee, charge your devices and enjoy yourself – Jeff will try to work you into a frenzy with new methods for looking at the content you already have right in front of you. People are increasingly mobile and ridiculously distracted. Take control of their eyeballs with content that’s interesting, valuable and fun. Learn the easiest way to get a blog post written; the right way to connect with mainstream media; the most important element about your videos; and much more. Finally, you’ll go away with a few strategies that will help you work more efficiently, examples of the companies that do content right, and an equipment list of the gear you can rely on when crafting your own content. This session is worth the price of admission…come armed with your questions, too as Jeff will do his best to solve your challenges.

AI tools for your organisation and how to use them.

Creating engagement
#hashtag basics
• They always start with # but they won’t
work if you use spaces, punctuation or
symbols.
• Make sure your accounts are
public. Otherwise, the hashtagged
content you write won’t be seen by any
non-followers.
• Don’t string too many words together. The
best hashtags tend to be relatively short
and easy to remember.
• Use relevant and specific hashtags. If it is
too obscure, it will be hard to find and it
won’t likely be used by other social media
users.
• Limit the number of hashtags you
use. More isn’t always better. It actually
looks spammy.
• Use niche hashtags. (longtail)
ANALYSE
Analytics
• Analyse as often as you
can.
• Weekly highlights
• Monthly in detail
• Look at:
• growth
• engagement
• ads’ results

Using Social Media to reach the youth

  • 1. SOCIAL MEDIA FOR REACHING THE YOUTH : HOW 4 OCTOBER 2022 ETHIOPIA CONFERENCE
  • 2. • Introduction • Social media apps • What are the 12 MOST ESSENTIAL social media principles. • Creating content. • WhatsApp / Telegram groups: what & how • Your YouTube channel: set-up, videos & sharing • TikTok for ministry. • Creating engagement. • Design • Understanding the statistics & analytics. AGENDA
  • 6. ➡ Content ➡ Conversation ➡ Strategy ➡ Policy ➡ Respond ➡ Current ➡ Relevant ➡ Acknowledge ➡ Creative ➡ Original ➡ Consistent ➡ Analyse
  • 9. Creating content calendars • Plan your content at least a month in advance. • Ensure that it is in sync with your other communications initiatives / messages. • Base your content on pre- defined pillars /storylines. • In your calendar have text, images, gifs, videos, links.
  • 10. Creating content calendars • Don’t duplicate across platforms. • Ensure that images are correctly sized for each platform. • Plan which posts to boost and what the budget will be. • Utilise all the various aspects of the platforms: stories, carousal, video, slideshows, etc.
  • 11. Creating content calendars • Get your team’s buy-in / approval • Create designs in advance. • Schedule posts where possible. • Be flexible wrt changes / updates.
  • 13. Groups / Channels: The Golden Rules • Always keep to the purpose of the group! Don’t share irrelevant messages about other topics. • Do not spam the group! • Don’t be offended if others leave. Not everyone wants the same information. • Do politely excuse yourself before you leave a group. • Post your message in one single chunk of text, don’t post every word or sentence in a new message. • Do not have one-on-one conversations in the group. Switch to private messages. • Do not post in any group between 21:00 and 07:00 unless it is an all-out emergency. • The group is not a political platform (unless you have specifically set it up for this purpose) No arguing, no heated opinions, no fear mongering, no hyped up drama, no fake news. Check your sources before you share. • Never EVER use a group to berate someone else or air grievances. If you have an issue address it one on one with the relevant person. • Don’t add random people to a close-knit group. • Always ask someone if you may add them before you add them. • Don’t send data-insensitive messages. No-one wants their last 3GB used up on uninvited memes. • When the group has served its purpose (the hike is over) delete it. • Add images, audio files, short videos to grab attention.
  • 14. If you are not sure, ask yourself these three questions before you post: 1. Is this relevant? 2. Is this necessary? 3. Is this a good time to post?
  • 19. Benefits of a YouTube Channel
  • 26. #hashtag basics • They always start with # but they won’t work if you use spaces, punctuation or symbols. • Make sure your accounts are public. Otherwise, the hashtagged content you write won’t be seen by any non-followers. • Don’t string too many words together. The best hashtags tend to be relatively short and easy to remember. • Use relevant and specific hashtags. If it is too obscure, it will be hard to find and it won’t likely be used by other social media users. • Limit the number of hashtags you use. More isn’t always better. It actually looks spammy. • Use niche hashtags. (longtail)
  • 28. Analytics • Analyse as often as you can. • Weekly highlights • Monthly in detail • Look at: • growth • engagement • ads’ results
  • 29. Analytics • Stop doing what is not generating results. • Do more of what works. • Look at other brands to see what they do that works well. • Don’t be scared to experiment!
  • 31. essential #socialmedia notes offers & shops Never stop checking your analytics respond quickly create events stick to a plan advertise content to suit the platform content to suit the audience video engage exclusive content / offers connect online with offline links to your accounts
