With a guide for how to connect and interact online -- access to a more enjoyable experience bringing in now -- pressure.

Dave pressure he is the president and CEO of in dilution digital LC hey Dave are you doing.

And greater found myself I'm great -- again I ask you what was the worst social media experience you've ever ahead.

The worst social media expert in -- -- play -- in -- fight like to grow from gotten a two girls and I knew well -- a fight about something on my FaceBook why I can see it and they went a little.

Ghetto so I had to go back and race -- that.

Wait hold over these two women that you dated at some point.

Yes -- -- you know what you messed -- have been like that does not.

Where it was OK you know hundreds and a year apart from -- company.

Also and I look at I'm like oh my gosh I gotta get these things deleted -- you gotta believe that that has stuck by day pressure.

Let's talk about this you brought some tips on how to be proper on social media so let's -- down the list and then we'll let you expound.

I just let me read the list first and we'll go back first of all you check with someone first before posting anything promotional.

He utilized to share -- to give credit to the original user.

Don't clog up our users -- -- language people and liking his day commenting is better so let's start of the first -- Dave so what do you mean we say check with -- -- first before posting anything promotional.

If you have an event or you're doing something that you'd like to -- share with.

With your friends on FaceBook for example you can go through the events one which allows them to decline except.

Or you can posted on their paid for generally send them a message saying this -- OK you post on your page no problem if he is the FaceBook.

Share -- no problem but when you posted on someone else's page need to ask their permission.

Seems there -- -- and then you say you should utilize the sea air button.

Because -- gives credit to the original user right.

Yeah I am.

It I think -- give credit to the original user per preferably by the share button on occasions you're gonna be using us a part of their message and you could putting quotes and and put their name next to it.

And then be sure yet you tag them so in other their posts have been shared but generally shares better somebody else wrote it right.

You what I attribute so then you say hey guys don't clog up the users thread.

This is one of the most.

-- greatest thing and end.

And social media is to get engagement and get comments.

So when you get a great conversation going and then someone throws -- -- out of the blue I hate.

My -- Obama all right hate this -- that when you're talking about.

What to Wear to dinner that night it it's really you know really throws everybody off -- this -- the track of the -- say there's thanks -- also I think people throwing an opinion that so right up or left of what you're trying to talk about her.

Turning into a political discussion when it's a social discussion -- kind of thing ha -- Gotcha gotcha basic watch your language -- mean -- -- nobody is watching there's -- FCC at this point that tells you not to say.

And bad words on the Internet.

You know.

I think that's a us a general rule of thumb especially for businesses.

If you have we have some entertainers has our brands who.

If your brand is to be funny or your brand is to be.

A little on the blue side then occasionally if it's used in context.

In -- makes sense but generally speaking you're taking a risk and there's not a heck of a lot of reward.

Billions and you can lose you can lose people -- say their children are read their page development thing.

Right right exactly that makes sense that makes sense and you say lightning is good Seton going to like a a comment or like or page.

But commenting is better tell me why.

Of first they just -- alone so some of someone -- look at -- -- -- have a post at a 150 people look at but nobody likes it so they don't know how they're doing.

Second is if you like -- -- you know that they care.

But it it comment creates.

Social media creates a conversation.

Creates engagement and is more interesting for both the poster and the readers of the posts.

And I think that's the social media you'll see one that gets you know fifteen point comments and then people starting -- you know I think those of the ones that are.

-- most popular I think that's the best way to.

Engage your friends and your co workers and so on on FaceBook.

Sure sure he -- -- or -- Dave tell me this -- -- think in general is the biggest mistake that people are making.

In the social media world.

But others.

I work from -- and it's called.

Traditional media like television or radio all the way to really really fast how.

Digital companies so it's kind dinosaur vs -- sometimes.

I think the biggest mistake people make is they tried it they think it doesn't matter.

And it matters a lot of matters that the CEO is involved.

Meant -- it because it's your chance to connect to listen to your audience and your staff.

The second thing is that people -- conceive how many people using FaceBook.

Win the reality is -- how many people that are in your core group are using FaceBook for instance women at about 75% of women eighteen to 49 are heavy users of FaceBook.

That doesn't mean if -- A 48 year old male they don't need to do it it's it's free.

If you derided it build your brand build your personality and so on K we'll bury this -- have a convincing people that are really Smart really successful just to use it.

-- all right well if they have do you have tips on your web site in pollution digital dot com in terms of -- it.

Maximize your FaceBook experience.

Yes we do you want a couple couple of our.

Switch questions no no no I just wanted to let everybody know that they they can do that that they can go to your website -- -- promoting your website mr.

pressure and that begins WW dot in pollution digital dot com.

Which we're traditional did traditionally -- all things that don't -- pollution toward the means to ban the lines mathematically to bend the -- mathematically yes think you for.

Giving us the definition of in pollution they pressured good to see you -- the president and CEO of evolution digital LLC up there in San Francisco.
