So I just got finished sitting in on Alejandro Reyes & Michelle MacPhearson’s Social Media Webinar. All I can say, is FANTABULOUS!

It was over an hour’s worth of great information on Social Media and how to properly use and leverage it.

I, like many others I’m sure, had fallen into the ‘being not so social’ trap on social sites and this webinar reminded me what social sites are all about and how to get the most out of them by – um, hello…being SOCIAL!

Alejandro & Michelle talked about the “Law of Reciprocity” which basically means ‘give and you will receive’. Don’t just take; give…it kind of ties in with the saying of, “what goes around comes around”.

Other things discussed:

• Contribute to your communities, keep others’ interests in mind and provide valuable info, comments, feedback, etc.

• Network and maybe even hook up people you think would be great together or might have some things to talk about – for instance 2 people in the same niche that might benefit from each other, etc.

• Build your network by actually being social and not just adding tons of friends but never really interacting other than to throw your sales pitch out there. Become a respected entity by just being “you”.

• Actually socialize with people by joining in conversations just to be social frequently; show that you actually care and have a pulse. People who you are friendly with; provide valuable info to; help out, etc. are more apt to listen to you and help you out later. They will also generally be more interested in buying things from you if you are a marketer.

• Use Summize to search Twitter for specific keywords to find convos and people around those keywords or in a niche.

• Use Comment Relish wordpress plugin to send auto responses to people who comment on your blog – make your replies personal and say thanks

• Use Tweet Later for auto replying and to create and schedule future tweets.

• Use Twemes to search global Twitter tags.

• Comment back and respond to people who communicate with you.

• It’s okay to name drop if you do it the right way and for good intentions. I.e., to let someone know you have a mutual friend in common, etc.

• Get the crowds to love YOU; don’t be some robot, no one gets the warm fuzzies from or for a robot.

I believe that covers most of it; it was a fabulous webinar and Alejandro and Michelle should be very proud! They definitely gave back to the community today.

You can check out Alejandro’s blog at Success Fool (you can listen to the interview here) and Michelle’s at Michelle’s Social Media Blog.

These are two people you can learn from and who are truly into their community in a positive way.
