Love it. Pictures speak better than I am always ideas. That's why YouTube is so hot. I once 2 tin cans and ask for a volunteer from among the audience by tying the string gave a presentation on social networking. It really is that simple once you get past all the technology and buzz words. Thanks for the simple idea

I love the way you use language, Chris. A toilet in every room really cleared up the concept you're communicating to me! Kudos to you for making learning about social media easy to understand by relating to known concepts.

Here is Version 1.0 of a blueprint the team at Interchanges.com put together. Version 2.0 should be ready in January 2010. Let me know what you think Mary. Do you have any ideas that would make it better?

I am also working on a step by step list of "fundamentals" for distributing content effectively online.

People are getting frustrated with social media "theory". They want someone to walk them through practical steps so they can tap into social media in a way that works for their own unique business situations. Sounds like a business opportunity.I want to know other suggestions in regard of blue-prints.

Blueprints are a great thing to have, but don't spend too much time on them. They're just going to end up in the garbage.

This post couldn't come at a more perfect time. I was recently asked to help a luxury real estate developer create an online social media presence. They have no idea how it all works, but feel they're missing the boat.

My goal is to not just get them set up, but show them how & why to use social media so they can be self sufficient. Without a blueprint someone that is totally green has no idea of what to expect or roadmap to get there. It's too easy to slip back into the "this stuff is stupid" mentality.

Great post. Makes sense on having a blueprint. Seems difficult to have a blueprint when talking about social media. Maybe I am wrong because I am still very new to this.

Yes Blueprints work wonders. This helps both sides of the table know and understand the expectations. The process must take a step by step methology with executional elements or deliverables otherwise it is just air or what we like to call "Quick I have a thought, get it out there" Strategy leads Tactical executions not tactical executions lead strategy. Here is a sample of our Road Map for Azunia Tequila which is owned by two former Ketel One executives. Here is the overview Road Map followed by 50 pages of documentation. http://tinyurl.com/yzmba7j

I think I just had a eureka moment, but not with a flashing light bulb. More like an analog knob slowly being turned on.

How timely for me! I'm speaking to a group of builders and realtors tomorrow about social media. My plan is to essentially encourage them to think it through, establish goals and develop methods that work for them as opposed to simply following the next guy. Love the analogy. Glad I stopped by tonight.

Great Post Chris - I am a firm believer in design before you leap, or as you put it, drawing up Blueprints to show what you are about to build or do.
Truth is, very little of our technology is designed well (all those door handles you push instead of pull, VCRs with flashing clocks). My post on this was called Sales and Marketing Automation Made Easy (http://www.inbound-marketin....

Great Idea! I'm a real visual learner so pics are good for me. I've been working on something like this for the past week already. I created investment flowchart to help show what process I go through to make an investment for my Self Directed IRA. Instead of writing all the words out on several blog posts, once finished being illustrated, my flowchart should be a starting point for new investors. Then they can understand and ask better questions much sooner. I expect that they will add those questions to my "Burning Question" page on my blog.

I have a small "Concept" pic of my flowchart to show visitors, but the final I expect will be much nicer in color once done.

Love it. Pictures always convey ideas better than talking. That's why YouTube is so hot. I once gave a presentation on social networking by tying string between 2 tin cans and asking for a volunteer from the audience. It really is that simple once you get past all the technology and buzz words. Thanks for the simple idea, Chris.

Makes total sense, Chris. I was just thinking about this this morning, and about how I want to use social media, and how I want to brand myself, and how I want to use / do my blogs when I get back to blogging. My social media right now is kind of a mess, as I am going in all different directions with it at times, and I have joined just about EVERY social media forum there is out there, and for every reason! I need to decide which ones are most beneficial, useful and fun. Yes, fun, as there is nothing wrong with having occassional fun! I do know I love twitter and will never quit it, as I am learning so much and meeting the best people, and I won't quit a few other social media mediums either. However, I could do without many of them. Thanks for a great post!

Great perspective! Two weeks ago, I was talking to a friend--and prospective client--about social media. He didn't get it, couldn't see the benefit of it. A shame because his business is 70% online sales; he needs it, from me or whoever.

I tried to explain things in general, and for his company specifically, but I didn't sway him. He left Starbucks that day a non-believer.

Reading this post and thinking back, I suppose I was like a crazy person, proudly showing off the huge boat I had built... in my basement!

As an exercise for me, I'm going to "draw up some blueprints" for social media integration for his company then invite him to coffee again.

We'll see!

So true. As a project manager by trade, having a "blue print" is critical to the success of the deliverable.

It's amazing how many people still fly by the seat of their pants when creating their blog sites.

Makes sense to me. No one takes you seriously if you don't have a plan.
