Suggested Social Media Reading – Tips to help with LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and more

August 23, 2013 By Editor

I frequently get asked for tips and tricks by folks who want to know more about running and managing social media resources for their company. After several years of running  groups on all the major social media sites I still find the need to read up on the latest features of each of the popular social streams, particularly as added functionality comes almost monthly. To stay informed I read articles, blogs, and white papers (sure Mashable is great, but there’s also loads of other fab resources out there). The latter are very handy and there’s a ton of them available, you simply need to know where to find them. A couple of my favorite resources are the Hootsuite EDU enterprise resource center, Social Media Examiner, and Hubspot – these also offer fabulous webinars!

I also have access to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of white papers from Tradepub. These are handy documents that are easily and quickly downloaded as PDFs to my iPad library where I seem to get the most use from them, pulling them up to browse while sitting in a coffee shop or while on a flight.

The following are a few excellent white papers that I would suggest anyone interested in learning more about managing social media resources add to their library:

Get into Google+ 
“Why should I sign up for Google+?” The answer is simple: Google.
You may have heard of them. Even if you already have other social networking accounts, you should sign up for Google+ simply because Google is going to be around for a very long time. It’s almost impossible to avoid using Google products in your online life. Joining Google+ means you will be poised to take advantage of all that Google has to offer. From personalized search results to instant photo uploads, you will soon see the value of Google+ even beyond its main benefit: sharing and discovering content that you are interested in. Being familiar with Google+ and how it works is a good idea – and not just for your online social life. Increasingly, employers are hiring people who are comfortable using the Internet and social media – including Google+.
