Social Media Quest – What’s the Plan?
What’s the Plan?
We were thinking about some basic tools last time but they won’t be of much use unless we have a good plan.
I don’t want to reinvent any wheels here so I’m going with a tried and true plan. I’ll call it the “Hands On Plan” or “HOP”. So what’s a HOP? Very simple: you make a list of things you want to get done, put them in order of importance, and start on the first one. Whenever you get stumped you do research and ask questions. HOWEVER, you need to learn from each task, and keep track of how you solved it. I tend to write things down in a notebook as I go and then I make notes and save links in OneNote.
My first task (Task 1) is to spiff up another blog I author, Clearly Derby. I’ve been asked to share Clearly Derby on the New Haven Register in their Community Media Lab. I checked out some of the other blogs in there and mine is quite plain in comparison. I’m not going for over-the-top elaborate but I need some improvement.
The Clearly Derby blog tracks my progress with the development of a Facebook page of the same name. I’ve spent so much time developing the page content that I’ve neglected the blog. For sub-task 1A, I want to include a tab on my Clearly Derby Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ClearlyDerby) that links to my blog.
Next time I’ll tell you how I did it!
