Here’s the Social Media Bootcamp presentation I gave at Seizing the Moment, the workshop for ethnic media publishers at San Francisco State University the other week. At 41 slides long, it’s called “Tools to Build an Engaged Online Community.” (See it on Slideshare or download the PDF.) And while it’s geared to ethnic media publications, its lessons apply to traditional media outlets, news organizations and citizen media sites, too.
You’ll find the sites all tagged on delicious at my socialmediacamp account, with subsections on tools and platforms.
Free one-page handouts
Also, I prepared two nice-looking flyers for the bootcamp participants, which I’m hosting on Amazon S3:
• Resources, Platforms, and The power of geotagging (PDF)
• Social news ecosystem, Sites we like, and Facebook Groups & Fan Pages (PDF)
8 tactics to build community
The presentation addresses strategies in the sharing economy and suggests eight tactics to build community:
1. Be first with breaking news
2. Leverage Twitter
3. Enable conversations
4. Community video
5. Online petitions & causes
6. Geocoding & citizen photography
7. Google map mashups
8. Facebook communities
I’m flying to Seattle tomorrow morning to give a related presentation at the Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association Summit.
