Orlando
A Playbook for The Community Manager
You need a social media playbook, not a social media strategy. This is the marching order I've heard at the last couple of conferences I've attended (ex. SXSWi 2011, Social Fresh Tampa, etc.). The thought here is that rather than focusing on the specifics of a social media strategy, proper community management is achieved through consistent execution of the basics and applying them to the changes and challenges we face on a daily basis (ex. Facebook Pages, etc.).
Whether you agree with this concept or not, the basics of social media strategy (ex. logistics, resources, etc.) are pretty much set, but what about the basics of publishing content? Its a simple question and one that we often take for granted.
