Honestly every week these thirteen thoughts could simply be “what not to do” on Twitter and still have some 5 or 6 more thoughts to go… It really goes back to a core teaching principle undertaken in our social media coaching. If you would not say it to a person or a client’s face do not say it online. Yet here we are…
This happened moments after the last thirteen thoughts was published but Greg Glassman fit in to the be careful what you do and do not say. He was publicly critical of public health modeling on COVID19 and then related the failures of public health to the unrest over the death of George Floyd. It did not cost him his company, but stay tuned as CrossFit had many partnerships including one with Reebok terminated over this flurry of comments. Glassman retired as CEO but whether CrossFit recovers is yet to be seen. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/09/business/greg-glassman-crossfit-resignation/index.html
Baseball seems to have a loaded revolver aimed at both of their feet. The saga of will America’s (fading) past time play or not this year has played out squarely on social media. The only interruption in this soap opera was during the MLB baseball draft. I routinely subscribe to MLB TV to watch the Detroit Tigers and have not heard any plans on how subscribers are going to be looked after? MLB TV is the premiere digital streaming platform for a sports league. DAZN has made inroads in Canada for the NFL and other sports leagues but MLB has an amazing service.
Baseball will they or won’t they has been mainly played out on Twitter with various analysts putting out various league led theories while the players have asked for some pretty simple things. Open the books, the real books so we know the finances and then we will talk. Unlike the NBA or NHL a plan has not even been presented to the players union.
Still on Twitter sagas is the recent birthday of the President of the United States. Some folks with a serious distaste for the commander in chief started a trend. For his birthday they started a trend about how great his predecessor was as president. At one point during this trend on Sunday it was near 15,000 tweets about this subject.
Earlier this week a report stated a TikTok influencer with 9,000,000+ followers was asking $50,000 for product mentions in a 15 second video. So many factors go in to making this decision if you should pay an influencer to promote your product. This was a great article on some of those factors and even included some influencer rates as of January https://tinuiti.com/blog/paid-social/how-much-do-influencers-charge/
The owner of Mark Heise Rebellion Brewing had a great take on influencers it is really worth the ready. https://twitter.com/markthebrewer/status/1221493545527214080?s=21
Mark has many points in that Twitter thread but what you should take away from it and his company is proof to it, build it so you become the local expert on social media in that market. Rebellion is not the original small brewery in the market but they have become the local expert. With a market like alcohol though you also have to have a very good product as well.
