TIPS FOR DOING SOCIAL MARKETING RIGHT
• Social Media Marketing is worth more
• Don't pay for social marketing.
• Give out samples
• Give a place to talk about your product online publicly
• Ask questions to stimulate conversations

SO WHAT'S THE ROI OF MARKETING IN SOCIAL REALMS?
It's higher than traditional advertising because:
• Some social actions drive new revenues at no cost to the advertiser.
• No advertising costs are required to blast the ad out at people who don't want it in the first place.
• Social actions archived online provide lasting and ongoing value to future seekers of information at no extra cost to advertisers.
• There's a potential for amplification while traditional ads are over once they air.
By Augustine Fou, ClickZ, Apr 9, 2009
KEY MEASUREMENTS
•Focus on Social Actions: Use traditional media to drive target users online to do something -- take a social action -- not just arrive on a site.
•Measure Before and After: Measure social intensity before and after to see if campaigns successfully caused target customers to take social actions -- rate, comment, share, recommend, etc..
•Accumulate Social Capital: Devise social actions that lead to an accumulation of value for the community of users over time -- e.g. users rate and share tips about restaurants -- Yelp.com. This builds an asset that has lasting value.
