10 Ways to Keep Busy in Social Media in 2008

January 14, 2008 – 4:36 am

I’m a bit late on this, but I wanted to post a quick pointer to Chris Winfield’s 10 simple steps to social media success in 2008:

#4 - Meet a Digger a Day. Spend 15 minutes per day (during the week) contacting a new person from Digg via instant message and forging a bond. You can usually locate this information right on their profile page and add them to your IM program. This simple task will do more for your chances of success at Digg than anything else you can ever do.

As we write in the book, social media success is more about time than money. Chris describes how much time each activity will take, though his estimates are a little dubious. If you’re only taking three minutes to answer each question on Yahoo Answers, how valuable are your answers really going to be?

In any case, there are a number of good tips in the article–check it out.
