Setting up Social Media Tools on your Website – An Introduction

You probably use Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Messenger, Buzz – all the social media tools you need to keep in touch with your friends and family. But how do you integrate all those different tools and contacts into your website? How on earth do you manage the community you’re building and still have time to get your regular work done? How do you protect people’s privacy and ensure your site’s security?

The essence of social media is about communication and building relationships – the technology is simply the means to assist communication. We’ll show how you can use a variety of open and closed source software to optimise communication between you (as website owner) and your audience.

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll be following Iain Eccleston & The Blue Horizon through his gigs and promotional activities to show real-life examples using social media tools to engage with your visitors and set up a sustainable community. The series will include how-to’s and guidance to show you exactly what you need to do and all the techniques we show can be applied to any type of business - just choose what you want to adopt and run with it.
