Täglich posten, liken, teilen Millionen Nutzer:innen die verschiedensten Inhalte auf Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn oder TikTok. Social-Media-Kommunikation wird – im Positiven, wie im Negativen – für vieles verantwortlich gemacht. Grund genug also, dass wir uns in der #CAISzeit mit der Forschung im Social-Media-Bereich beschäftigen. Zu Gast sind heute mit Dr. Katrin Weller und Dr. Johannes Breuer zwei ausgewiesene Expert:innen. Die beiden arbeiten am GESIS – Leibniz-Institut für Sozialwissenschaften und bauen gleichzeitig am CAIS die Abteilung „Research Data and Methods“ auf, die sich um Fragen rund um digitale Forschungsdaten und Methoden kümmert. Mit ihnen sprechen wir darüber, warum es notwendig ist, Social-Media-Plattformen zu erforschen und wie dabei vorgegangen wird. Außerdem diskutieren wir, wie problematisch eingeschränkte Datenzugänge z.B. auf Twitter, neuerdings X, für die Forschung sind.

Why you've got to check out this episode: Find out how you can make people stop the scroll and achieve that video pattern interrupt so you catch your audience's attention to what you do. Bust myths, rumours, and stories about social media marketing and know about the ones that are tried, scientifically tested, proven, and working. Know about the recommended content you should create that works for the different social media platforms. 3Rs - Read, Resource, Reflect Read: Leveling Up: How To Master The Game of Life by Eric Siu Resources: Marketing School - Digital Marketing and Online Marketing Tips - Podcast Zubtitle Reflect: "It is what it is; life comes at you. How I react is way more important than what happened." - Scott Ayres For real estate professionals, it's a real struggle to use social media effectively. With distractions pulling people in different directions, it's a challenge to make people stop the scroll and catch their attention to what you do. And then you wonder, which content to post, what works, and what doesn't? In this episode, our guest, Scott Ayres busts myths about social media marketing, even those that he was taught in the past or are still being taught by "gurus" today. Unlike many social media "experts" Scott brings a real-world approach and perspective to which business owners can relate. For real estate agents, investors, and professionals, learn a thing or two and more as Scott shares action steps that can get your audience engaged with your content -- videos, text, or images. Take note of what works, content-wise, for each social media platform you're posting on, as each has its different approach. With social media constantly changing, to get ahead, pay attention as he shares about algorithms, what to do, and how it works on each social media platform you are probably on. Not to mention recent updates from Instagram and other social media platforms you don't want to be missing out on. Scott Ayres is a Social Media and Community Lead for Rightbound and the former Content Scientist for the Social Media Lab conducting extensive tests and research to help social media managers and business owners get the most out of their posts; busting myths along the way. He is the co-author of "Facebook All-in-one for Dummies" and Podcast host for Social Media Lab and Social Media Lab LIVE show. He has written over 2000 blog posts on social media topics and has written for 3 blogs to make Social Media Examiner's "Top Social Media Blogs" list. This episode was recorded when Scott was still a Content Scientist at the Social Media Lab. Topics Covered: 02:52 - A backstory of his orange hair and showcasing the power of good branding 07:50 - How to go about video pattern interrupts and catch people's attention 10:19 - The idea behind putting up Social Media Lab 12:19 - Using a formula for a better success rate of running tests on social media 16:54 - What you should know about the placement of your hashtags, essential points to know, and more updates from Instagram 20:59 - How emojis are affecting engagement on Instagram 25:21 - Understanding algorithms and how they work on different platforms 30:41 - Suggesting the best thing you can do when posting the same content across all platforms 32:55 - Content that works on LinkedIn testing-wise 35:22 - Looking forward to testing how polls work on LinkedIn 37:22 - How are live videos working on all the different social media platforms 40:20 - What you can do as real estate investors when thinking about social media 43:32 - That brand that excites him the most these days 47:08 - Favorite podcast that he listens to 48:49 - A tool he uses for repurposing videos 50:45 - His life's motto Key Takeaways: "Realtors, you gotta be creative with those thumbnails. You might think you just want to show the pretty house, but you do something extreme a little bit. Maybe get a crazy zoom on it, or it's sideways or, you got to think of ways to catch people's attention on social media. Otherwise, you let your white noise, and they're just going to ignore it, especially if you post the same way over and over and over." - Scott Ayres "Instagram came out and gave some updates on their explorer, in search. You don't have to just search by hashtags on Instagram; it's just keyword-related. And then they say as well, that hashtags go in the description, not in the comments. Hashtags in the comments will not show up." - Scott Ayres "It's natural to do that [posting the same thing across all platforms] because you created something you want to get on everything. It's so easy; it's okay to do that. Just mix it up and think a little different on each one because each one wants to see something different." - Scott Ayres "Testing-wise and content-wise what works on LinkedIn, text-only posts tend to always do better, they always get higher reach. Sometimes a 1,000% higher reach than a link post or a photo post. And I think why that happens is, on LinkedIn, you tend to only connect with people within your industry or at least close industries. And so people are more willing to give their two cents." - Scott Ayres "What I love about doing live is, if you do have a community of people, even if there are only ten they'll engage, they'll talk to you, you can talk to them. Just like podcasts, you got to get an audience that's watching and listening. Then you take the live video, and you repurpose it." - Scott Ayres "Authenticity is key. Quality over quantity, you've heard that a 1000 times. Don't feel like you've got to post every day, five times a day. Post whatever cadence that you're comfortable with that provides really good content. If it's not really good content, and you do not see engagement, then pull back and do something else." - Scott Ayres "Don't chase the algorithms because chasing the algorithms is like a dog chasing his tail. You're never going to catch it, and you're just going to be frustrated. But do see what's working for others and maybe figure out how you can do it. Re-test it like we do to get leverage." - Scott Ayres Are you ready for 2022? Get a head start with 12 questions to ask yourself over the holidays and get 2022 off to an awesome start.

Bienvenue sur les ondes de La Cohorte, un podcast dédié aux freelances qui veulent structurer leurs petites entreprises. Dans le petit univers de l'entrepreneuriat, on martèle un peu partout qu'il est VITAL de se fixer des objectifs. On nous propose plein de méthodes pour y parvenir, on nous explique qu'il y a des bons objectifs et des moins bons... A lire tout ça, on croirait presque les objectifs ont des pouvoirs magiques. Il suffirait de les lister, de se les répéter chaque jour, de les visualiser en fermant très fort les yeux... Et abracadabra, nous voilà au sommet de notre gloire de freelance. En réalité, se fixer des objectifs, c'est faire la moitié du chemin. Il faut aussi être capable d'évaluer, régulièrement, ce qu'on fait - pour voir, si oui ou non, on est sur la bonne voie et déterminer comment réajuster le tir si nécessaire. Il faut savoir prendre du recul et analyser nos actions comme si ce n'était pas les nôtres. Bref, pour atteindre nos objectifs, il faut faire des bilans réguliers avec une método super carré. Et devinez quoi, c'est justement le thème de ce nouvel épisode! Emmanuelle est consultante en stratégie social média, et l'une de ses spécialités, c'est les bilans. Emmanuelle fait des points sur son activité toutes les semaines, tous les mois et tous les ans.

In an era of fake news, our society is in a bit of a moral panic. But Dr. Jeff Hancock, an expert in social media behavior, has found that it's human psychology, not technology, which drives deception and distrust. In this episode, he and Bill Coppel — Managing Director and Chief Client Growth Officer at First Clearing — discuss how to navigate the digital landscape to maintain trust and how we can use technology to help build it. In this episode, you'll hear: ·         How trust has evolved over time ·         The many definitions and kinds of trust ·         The new forms of trust we're seeing today ·         How we evaluate someone's trustworthiness ·         What role social media plays in the trust formula ·         How reputation has changed with the rise of social media ·         How differences in communication lead to distrust between generations ·         What role technology will play in maintaining trust between advisor and client   Dr. Jeff Hancock is a psychologist and professor of communications at Stanford University. He is the founder of the Social Media Lab at Stanford and also serves as director of Stanford's Center for Computational Social Science. A leading expert in social media behavior and the psychology of online interaction, Jeff studies how social technologies and artificial intelligence affect us, from how we trust, to how we develop and maintain relationships, to understanding how technology is affecting our well-being. His view isn't that social media is good or bad, but that it amplifies everything and we must learn to navigate the effects.   Before earning his PhD in psychology, Jeff served as a customs officer in Canada. Prior to joining the Stanford faculty, he was an associate professor of cognitive science and communication at Cornell University. He lives in Silicon Valley with his wife and daughter, and still enjoys playing hockey regularly and does his best to keep pucks out of the net.   Ways to contact Jeff: Email: hancockj@stanford.edu Website: Stern Speakers: Jeff Hancock
