How and Why I Use Social Media (a work in progress)

Ok folks,

Here's the overview (a work in perpetual progress)

Why - I use social media to:

• Connect with old and current friends and contacts
• Meet new folks
• Support and promote friends, companies, and causes
• Share who I am
• Share thoughts of others I find inspiring, interesting, beautiful, or just fun
• Share my thoughts
• Help others when I can
• Promote our business(es)
• Have fun
• Connect with the collective creative universe
• 
  

What - I use social media to:

• Recognize and celebrate others' birthdays, accomplishments and successes
• Draw attention to other people's businesses and efforts
• Quote others and myself
• Show off my writing, photography, video, graphics, and overall cleverness
• Express my love for my wife and my family
• Notice questions or problems others ask or state and, if I think I have something worthwhile to share, step up.
• Be witty
• Share specific examples of foods, exercise, places, people, animals, and nature shots I enjoy.
• Share tech tips that matter to me and I think have relevance to my circles
• Mention our (Marge, myself, and our companies) events, promotions, progress, missions, purpose, and fun
• Comment, "like", and engage with others' social media posts and updates
• 
  

Where - Social media I focus on primarily include:

• Facebook
• Google+
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• YouTube

Also Where - I also post with varying frequency at (selectively for the same purposes above)on:

• en*theos
• 3rd Street Plaza
• my BeingBruceBrown.com blog
• our HealthyHappyHotandFit.com website/blog
• my Team Beachbody websites: BrucetheCoach.com and Shakeology.com/BrucetheCoach

When - Daily:

• en*theos
• Facebook
• Twitter
• Google+
• LinkedIn
• BeingBruceBrown.com

When - Weekly:

• YouTube

Going forward, I intend to:

• Publish minimum of 2 Youtube videos per week (cuz video rules - and it's fun!)
• Develop a checklist for FB/T/Li/G+ posts that includes:
  • workouts
  • recipes
  • ingredients of Shakeology or other nutritious foods
  • team and coach successes
  • our physical and financial successes (general)
  • specific Team Beachbody and Beachbody events, promotions, new products, news, and opportunities
  • promotion of our 31 Days books
• Develop a checklist for:
  • LinkedIn recommendations
  • Comments and 'likes' on others Facebook posts
  • Follow more blogs and actively comment (this is pretty vague right now, I realize)
  • Actively seeking comments on blog posts, and book reviews on Amazon for our 31 Days books

So that's where it is as of now, folks.

Thanks for reading. 

And I would LOVE to hear what you do now and what  you want to do more of.

Video on Video - Clip 0

So, you wanna be in pictures, huh?

Oh wait. You don't? You just want to market your company, your products or services, or yourself?

And that's why you're checking out this blog post?

Okay, I get it. You don't have a burning desire to be a video star, but you do want to at least check out what it takes to use video in your business marketing.

Well, that's fair enough.

I mean, if you had your heart set on being in video you'd have gone to acting school, right? And if you really wanted to make movies you'd go to film school.

What you're interested in is finding out if you can easily and hopefully inexpensively create videos that will help market you, your company, or your products. And the videos have to be good enough to do the job; they don't have to be film award nominees.

Got it.

And actually you've got it, too, because if the above profile is yours, or similar to yours, then you're exactly who we are, too, and why we developed our video course celled Video on Video.

Here's a short clip I made that took about 5 minutes including shooting and editing. I'm sure that shows, but the point is, it makes the point and demonstrates how easy it can be. Watch it and then read on to see how you can get our Video on Video absolutely free.




So that was a short video clip. As I said in the clip, the way to get the video series as we product them, is to sign up for my weekly newsletter, Bruce Brown at the Edge. The newsletter is free and the video clip series will be free as well, but only to people who get our newsletter. By the way, of course you can always unsubscribe to the newsletter and you will automatically be removed from the mailing list.

Wilmington Professional Group at North Kerr Spalon

It was a gorgeous day in Wilmington, perfect for the Wilmington Professional Group's networking event/cookout at North Kerr Spalon's new location on North Kerr Avenue. Below three of the four Wilmington Professional Group's organizers, Sandy Powell of North Kerr Spalon, Neal Whitington of Zutu Marketing, and Arian Kelley of PrePaid Legal greet arrival Fred Kumpel of Stickland's Window Coverings.


Accupuncturist Kris Peterson


I met David Harrison of Pre-Paid Legal - we had a nice chat about market niches and deciding the best ways to help people. Here David is with Rick Huston of Insphere Insurance Solutions. Rick and I talked a bit about using short video clips to convey vital information (see our less-than-vital short clip below).


Klif Kinnamon, a man of few words, from Zutu Marketing.


Next Media's Austin Thomas, personal trainer Dee Whitington, and Nsalo Salon stylist Melissa Kinnamon.


Here's the clip Rick and I shot. Using video on blogs and websites is becoming increasingly common as a way to communicate your message (even if your message is that using video is becoming increasingly common).
