Craft a persona This can be a real person, or a
caricature of people
Content created or shared online will be about attracting the 20 people in your target market.
Generate behavior
Set a goal. In 12 months, you will do the
following: 1. make contact with 1-3 of the
people in your target market. 2. When you make contact, you will
tell them about content you created.
The tools
Facebook has over 1.3 billion members 50% of all Canadians have a profile!

Facebook page posting is almost useless. Your content is actively in competition with cute kids and kittens
Worst still, Facebook doesn’t like it. You will lose. So advertise.
Facebook advertising
Custom audience
It is about your personal life. A Facebook page is useless, Facebook
advertising is amazingOrder Lynda.com for a month and
watch the Power Editor module. It is life changing.
YouTube is the second most used search engine after Google.
4 billion videos are watched on Facebook each day.
People choose to watch video Phones and tablets help
Three kinds of video
User Generated
Quick-Post
Professional
YouTube offers an opportunity for people with video content.
Because the URL is meaningless, great care should be taken with the title, description and tags.
Help people who are looking for content to find your content – the title and description should have keywords
YouTube allows infinite amount of tags, so add as many as possible.
A YouTube channel offers the ability to post videos we create, and videos created by people in one place.
Facebook videos offer auto play, and an easy way to sort videos.
Summary Video is being created more and more Video is the best way to show off the
emotion of the brand and and involvement of fans
YouTube and Facebook are the best places to show off video.
