Hi all! SME’s Event Assistant Ely
here! I recently had the chance to attend BlogWorld & New Media Expo at the LA Convention Center Nov. 3-5. BlogWorld is
the largest expo centered on the blogosphere and all the different social media components involved. It was aTwitter, Facebook and FourSquare mecca!
I was able to attend and learn from some of the industry’s leading bloggers and social media experts but I do have to say I have a favorite presentation. C.C. Chapman’s simple and right to the point approach to social media with a smartly titled “Content Rules, But
Common Sense Rocks!” session stole the show for me.
Here are my favorite tips I picked up from C.C. Chapman:
Speak in Human: Blogging should be an extension of a brand and
shouldn’t be written like a thesis paper!
We All Make Messes: We’re all human, if a tweet or status post goes bad,
deleting isn’t always the answer. It shows integrity when brands own up to PR
mistakes and go with the flow.
Respect: Value what your content says and readers will value it! No one likes a sell out.
