Making social media work
Social media is your main content distribution channel - the way you lead people to all the fantastic content you're creating. It's really important that you don't just see Twitter and Linkedin as handy notice boards for advertising your content wares though. Effective social media is all about building relationships, and like the rest of your valuable content approach to marketing, it's about listening and sharing rather then the hard sell. This month's lead article is a guest post from Neil Fletcher. It struck a big chord with us, and you can read it here.
We've pulled together some more useful stuff to help you find your way through the social media maze.

Create engaging content

Share it with the right people

Stimulate conversation and collaborate as a result."
