Identify your audience. Who are you targeting specifically? Who is your customer?
Choose your tools. Focus on maximizing the usage of several rather than attempt to use them all poorly.
Have conversations.
Go to where your audience is. Do NOT centralize or seek to control the conversation.
Don’t ignore the bad, but also acknowledge the good. Strike a balance.
Add value and be relevant.
Execute, Be Consistent, Sustain.
TELL STORIES!and let your community tell them
