How to use SM to develop
your professional potential
     AN INTRODUCTION FOR INTERNATIONAL PRO WOMEN WORLDWIDE




                                 with
          cultural entertainment producer Anastasia Ashman
                & creative entrepreneur Tara Agacayak


                presentation originally created for
INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL WOMEN OF ISTANBUL NETWORK
              Taksim Hill Hotel, November 12, 2009
Ask yourself
Are you using Social Media for professional purposes?
Which services, for how long? Which networks are you
drawn to, and why?
What do you hope to achieve with Social Media?
Are you planning to join an international professional
women Social Media group to pool resources, build
meaningful networks, find support?
What the [bleep] is Social
        Media?
Overview slideshow
Web 2.0 is interactive, user-generated, crowd-sourced,
collaborative
Demise of one-to-many broadcasting, rise of hub-and-
spoke concept of multiple points of connection, Tribes,
the new attention & emotional economy
Top Social Networks
       each network has its own personality, best uses



YouTube -- videos; Flickr -- photographs

MySpace -- performing artists, average age 26, blue-collar

Facebook -- general population, ‘reunion of who you know’, average age 31,
suburban

Twitter -- curated web, ‘cocktail party’ ‘continuing ed’, average age 33, cutting-edge

LinkedIn -- business professionals, ‘conference’, average age 39, white collar
Benefits for women, expats,
global citizens, professionals
 Social Media works best the way women work best: it’s
 about making and tending personal connections
 Social Media supports and consolidates the diffuse
 networks expats/global women have already initiated
 SM erases cultural, geographic and time zone
 disadvantages by providing access to state-of-the-
 industry practices, trending thought, leading players in
 your profession
More reasons SM works for pro
    international women

LOCATION INDEPENDENCE (work where you are
and where you’ll go)
SELF-ACTUALIZATION (be an expert in whatever
you choose)
LANGUAGE (communicate in your preferred tongue)
FLEXIBILITY (time and location become irrelevant)
Everyone is a platform now
Business opportunity benefits of creating a personal
brand, raising your profile, digitally distributing free
content, establishing expertise and credibility in your
field
Amplify your efforts with engagement tools/techniques:
like SocialOomph (automation), Tweetdeck, Hootsuite
and Twitter lists (curation), Wordpress blogs, Delicious
(bookmarking), ebooks, viral marketing/word of mouth
as others share your story with their network
Case Studies

entrepreneur training, web consulting, women’s
microcredit, pro profile
Anastasia Ashman’s web presences as a cultural
entertainment producer, her group blog for global
citizens + identity adventurers, pro profile

Social Media is the New
         Tattoo: Do
Present yourself thoughtfully, accurately and honestly

Plan for a serious, long-term relationship with SM

Mind-cast, not life-cast: aim for a high signal vs. noise ratio.

Use the appropriate privacy settings, separate your business and personal uses

Foster Web 2.0 commodities: trust, attention, influence

Provide value: offer your expertise and knowledge, solve problems, be generous,
connect people, be authentic

Monitor who is following you (be aware of who you are congregating with)
Social Media is the New
       Tattoo: Don’t
Protect your tweets, Twitter is about sharing openly

Allow incriminating words and images to be attached to your name

Believe get-rich-quick & get-followers-fast schemes

Use your birth year or publish information people can use to find your physical
location

Share others’ personal data without permission

Use copyrighted material without permission

Forget to give credit (like the RT function of Twitter)

  • 12. Social Media is the New Tattoo: Do Present yourself thoughtfully, accurately and honestly Plan for a serious, long-term relationship with SM Mind-cast, not life-cast: aim for a high signal vs. noise ratio. Use the appropriate privacy settings, separate your business and personal uses Foster Web 2.0 commodities: trust, attention, influence Provide value: offer your expertise and knowledge, solve problems, be generous, connect people, be authentic Monitor who is following you (be aware of who you are congregating with)
  • 13. Social Media is the New Tattoo: Don’t Protect your tweets, Twitter is about sharing openly Allow incriminating words and images to be attached to your name Believe get-rich-quick & get-followers-fast schemes Use your birth year or publish information people can use to find your physical location Share others’ personal data without permission Use copyrighted material without permission Forget to give credit (like the RT function of Twitter)
