Looking for help with Social Media

[fuzzy]

For the record, there is this largely unused, but potentially very useful LinkedIn group, which I currently administer:
https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8267145

We are currently 59 members, strong but largely silent types, so far.  I'd be happy for any and all community participation in the group and consider it a BitShares community social media asset.

Also, consider that LinkedIn is a largely unexplored realm for reaching fresh eyes with the business potential of BitShares.

Example: Let's go search all posts on LinkedIn for any mentioning the word 'Blockchain' in the title.
Ok, There are 272 posts which fit this criteria in the last week.  Comment, share, post, repeat.

Also, who controls 'bitshares' on Instagram?  I'd like to contribute to our Instagram feed, and I would be good at creative bitshares / crypto related images and connecting with other people on Instagram.  Since my photo is already up there, maybe that qualifies me.

i love the idea.

I would be more than happy to let Bunker and Fuzzy share this role.  Any objections?

What's the good time to move control of BitShares Github (code, release etc) over to the community? That would be a milestone of BitShares.

Hootsuite is OK.. I just think there are better tools that do the same thing available. One thing I don't care for about Hootsuite is how you end up advertising to everyone that you are using it.

Soon as I see social media that I can tell was posted using Hootsuite I immediately feel disengaged/one step removed from whom ever it is with because I don't know if I am just looking at some scheduled post from a slew of others in a campaign.

If there is money to spend it should be in facebook/twitter/google/reddit campaigns with measured results.

There are other things to get sorted out first.

I have to disagree data. I think you're referring to the url shortener? You can add your own. it's an important tool and you absolutely have to measure the impact of tweets and such.

You may not like it, but if your tweets are interesting users won't care about a link or the destination of a tweet.

get a cool domain like bitshar.es, add it to bitly as custom domain and add your bitly acc to hootsuite.

I do this with favd.xyz for example

just my opinion, but if you feel uncomfortable doing social media, better step away from this position.

No it's not just the URL shortener... everything is already setup with bit.ly anyways so that is not an issue.

1. get hootsuite premium
2. add members

one of the best pro tools for social media management

  I've used it with others. It WORKS

1. get hootsuite premium
2. add members

one of the best pro tools for social media management

we could use enterprise and add people on that way

Best thing to do IF the funds are there and a clear goal for the media assets are defined.

I support the suggestions thus far.  I think I'm too new to be on the committee, but would like to contribute links, articles and such to the social media venues.

That's great.. you don't need to be on the committee to contribute.

PM me and you can add me to facebook or twitter or whatever you prefer.

@bytemaster
I think the best case scenario is to have the committee own these and have a few select people be able to post from them. such as @fuzzy @BunkerChain Labs @Chris4210  and myself.
This is to make sure the content stays neutral.

I currently control the proper twitter and facebook handles which I acquired from someone who was using them for bitcoin posts.
I paid $2800 to acquire and would like to find a way to recover these funds and then transfer ownership to the comittee.

Jonny, great news.  I agree the committee should have control and think it is worthwhile for you to be reimbursed.   We just need someone to post on a daily basis and keep the users engaged.

I have a plan I am writing up that I think you guys will like

I think a team effort among these 4 particular people would be great.  Also, in order to engage the widest possible audience, it would be nice if we could get additional contribution from folks in different countries/languages, especially China.

how about moving control of bitshares.org over to someone else aswell?

what accounts specifically are we looking at and most importantly who will give us the content to be posting or are we the ones who get to make these decisions?

I personally would love to help but want to suggest that rather than i and data "control" the account, i suggest we replace that stickied thread ive asked to have taken down so many times with a stickied thread where people can post bitshares-related news and one where we could post news from partners. 

The process of getting posted would be to post to the social media thread and let the community vote on it. if they dont vote at all data and i will rock paper scissors (or just choose with whatever information available to us)?

this way we can become the communities amplifier and everyone will know for certain we are serving them.  Id love to work with data though.

im also very interested. was talking about precisely this in telegram not long ago and we are already covering projects outside bitshares but those that may also work with us. for instance after the emercoin hangout oleg seemed very interested in chatting with bm about graphene and the spells of genesis guys are already looking into designing the card(s?) for bitshares.  Solarcoin is supposed to be this week btw!  These would be wonderful projects.

is this for the bitshares account or something else though?  i dont want to take too much and have it become centralized around one person and with all this media discussion i think we could use some details in the thread before we go offline on comms.  this way anyone else interested gets the chance to see what is going on with these details

We are looking someone who would like to take over day-to-day management of the BTS Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, etc). 

If you have skills in this area and think you can improve things post here for community feedback.  Let us know how you would run them.

We can do it.. we have to expand beyond just talking about all things bitshares if we are going to attract a wider audience.. also some contests and other fun things would go a long way to keeping up engagement.

PM me with details

Thanks!
