My Social Media System

I’ve been doing more work on developing a social media system, so this post is a follow-up that should provide a little more detail.

Time Leveraging

With so many social media tools, the key to my strategy is leveraging my time. I’m willing to invest the time to “get” social media and develop 1-on-1 relationships, but I don’t want to limit myself to just one platform. So here is how I roll:

• Sign up for StumbleUpon and Del.icio.us and install the toolbars in your browser
• Sign up for Digg
• Sign up for FriendFeed and connect your StumbleUpon, Digg and Del.icio.us accounts to your main feed. Then update your settings to publish your feed to your Twitter.
• I’m assuming you spend time reading/listening in your industry. When you find a good resource, go ahead and stumble it, bookmark it on Del.icio.us or Digg it. These are automatically posted to your Twitter feed, thus providing high quality content to your followers.
