Your Help Requested- Planning a Small Series

Some of you know that I’ve been writing posts within a series called The Social Media 100, started around the beginning of this year. I’m about 1/3 of the way through all 100 posts, by the way, so hopefully, they’ve been useful.

For my next “series within the series,” I want your ideas. I’ve been working on this idea that companies and organizations are ready for social media and social networking, but that they don’t necessarily know how it should/could map to their specific organization or role or the like. I’ve had lots of conversations privately and otherwise with people asking me for advice on how their company might jump into this all, and what values it offers them.

So here’s what I want from you: if you’re willing, please comment (even if you do so anonymously) and give me an idea of what kind of organization and the kinds of questions you’re asking internally with regards to it all. From there, I will craft a series of posts called: “Social Media Starter Moves For ________,” where I can give some ideas.

If you’re uncomfortable leaving this type of info in the comments, send me email: blog at chrisbrogan dot com, and just let me know what I can and can’t mention in my blog post to preserve your anonymity.

What do you think? Fair? Interesting idea?

    How about social media tools for budget conscious companies. Companies seem to like the idea of social media, but in the end, ROI is king. Maybe some case studies of companies effectively deploying it would be helpful, especially companies that are not just in the tech industry.

    I’m working at a very small company, less than 10 employees. We don’t have an office and instead work from our homes. This causes problems sometimes with communication. Communication with team members is sparse. It is well known that some team members are very busy most of the time, so it creates a feeling that they shouldn’t be contacted at all unless absolutely necessary.

    Being immersed in the social networking flow, I’m very put off by that. I realized that I know more about people on Twitter than my own co-workers. I’d love to see what you can suggest for my situation.

    Hi Chris,

    I know I've found this post of yours nearly over a year later, but we're still so behind in the Social Media game and I thought I'd chime in as I'm a Social Media Instructor for Continuing Education Clock Hours for Realtors in the State of Washington. And in this vertical market, we're still WAAAY behind! :-)

    But I think the early adopters, movers and shakers can still make a go and contribute something.

    So I'd like to develop a series, with your help or your input or at least give you credit, on “Social Media Starter Series For Real Estate Professionals – 90 Days to becoming a better SM user” or something shorter or better than that.

    Anyway, I retweeted this post, even though it's a year old, it still is relatively new info and I appreciate the post. Thanks Chris!
