6 sites for PR professionals, social media newbies
Erin Ascione
After speaking at the Kentucky Press Association, associate member Erin Ascione asked about places she, a social media newbie and a p.r. professional, could get ideas and up-to-speed.
She’s dived in in a big way already as an active Facebook member. And, shortly after the conference, signing up for Twitter. In fact, she was almost immediately ahead of most new Twitter users because she updated her profile and customized her profile picture!
Here’s a few sites I thought of, and those suggested by others I asked. Please add more!
Social Media Today: Recommended by a Facebook/Twitter friend of mine, Carrie Zukoski, who does p.r. for the local United Way.
MyRagan.com (Carrie also recommends that you sign up for the newsletter). My friend and social media guru Marijean Jaggers also recommended Ragan.com. I’ll come back to Marijean shortly.
BethKantor.org: “I am a professional blogger and write about the use of social media tools in the nonprofit sector for social change.”
ChrisBrogan.com: From his “about” text: “Chris Brogan advises businesses, organizations, and individuals on how to use social media and social networks to build relationships and deliver value.”
Alltop: A meta-site for a bunch of stuff about social media, aggregated for your personal dining. Recommended by Twitter follower Joe Mako.
Now, Marijean Jaggers works for the The Standing Partnership in the St. Louis area, though she is based in Charlottesville, Va. She’s been instrumental in moving her company to embrace social media — and most of the firm blogs about it from a p.r. perspective on the StandingPR blog, Where Do You Stand.
