How to Get Recognized in Social Media

by Brett Borders on April 21, 2009

There’s a lot of competition out there. Everyday, thousands of new profiles pop up that say “Social media enthusiast.” They share very similar links and conversation topics while hoping for lots of attention. The equation just doesn’t balance out.

Personality and participation alone usually aren’t enough to draw accolades. The best way to get recognized is work hard to develop skills worth talking about and then use your skills to contribute directly back to the community. Here are 11 of most common ways people have made a “big name” for themselves:

1. Become a popular blogger

If you have a flair for writing and a never-ending flow of new ideas + insights, you might be able to blog your way to the top. But writing original, thought-provoking articles on a consistent basis is only half of the blogger’s game – the other part is constantly promoting and marketing your blog. This means doing guest posts, leaving comments, doing keyword research, outreach, partnering, pitching & pimping your blog as hard as you can (without getting people mad at you).

Skills needed: Clear writing, grammar, punctuation, image editing skills, HTML/CSS, social networking savvy.

2. Become a power user

Power users are people with a huge social media presence – the “big guys” with big numbers to back them up. Most spend several hours (or more) uber-power-networking each day. But once you get some momentum and people start to see your name all the time, your connections exponentially increase and it gets easier. Power users like @Zaibatsu, @Msaleem and @BryantSmith have climbed to the top of one site first… and then used their connections and relationships to conquer others. People see their name everywhere.

Skills needed: Stamina, speed, intuition for online trends and memes, great relationship-building skills & online etiquette.

3. Learn video production

If you truly have “rockstar” charisma, wit and personality – you might be able to get away with yammering in front of your laptop camera. Otherwise save yourself the time and embarrassment, and focus on improving your creative and technical skills. Follow the lead of guys like @unmarketing and @dugdale… keep churning out top interviews, comedy videos or tutorials on and eventually you will strike a chord and get recognized.

Skills needed: Visual intelligence, creativity, precision, compression & file format knowledge, $$$ to buy equipment and software.

4. Learn illustration

A picture is worth a thousand words. A clever illustration is worth 2,000 diggs. You don’t have to do “fine art” or photo-realistic quality drawing to get your point across or crack people up. @GapingVoid is well-known for sketching cartoons on the back of business cards, and @Oatmeal has spiced up his smash-hit viral quizzes with cartoon vectors. You can also create info-graphics… or buttons and icons that people need (like RSS or social media icons) – and give them away for free in exchange for lots of links, tweets and bookmarks back to your site. Get a graphics tablet, take an online illustration course… and make your mark.

Skills needed: Artistic flair, geometry, software learning and file-format skills.

5. Create quality tutorials or documentation

High-quality tutorials stand on their own and attract buzz with very little “push” marketing or promotion. @DaveTaylor has gotten a lot of web traffic by offering free technical support tutorials aimed at beginners. Video game blogs compete to see who can release the first “Walkthrough” guide for a new hit game. If you can sense where people are struggling and provide clear answers and help – you’ll be the light at the end of their dark tunnel. People will take notice. And they’ll remember you and thank you.

Skills required: Technical writing, video or image editing, illustration.

6. Do scientific or statistical research

Big companies and agencies often need solid, scientific evidence or statistics to make decisions. @DanZarrella does scientific analysis of Twitter trends and publishing the results into easy-to-understand graphs. @JOwyang of Forrester Research analyzes data, does surveys and predicts trends for Fortune 500 companies. Their solid research efforts plus smooth personalities have brought them large followings, awards and international speaking gigs.

Skills required: Analytical mindset, knowledge of scientific method / social research, graphing and presentation skills.

7. Start a new social site

Starting a successful new social site is quite a coup, but if you can pull it off… you’ll be rolling with ballers like @kevinrose (co-founder of Digg) or @ev (co-founder of Twitter). If you don’t have have the funds to build a site from scratch, platforms like Ning, Reddit will let you create custom, hosted communities frameworks from scratch. They’ll handle the plumbing, and then it’s your job to fill the pipes with people and conversations.

Skills needed: Visionary intuition, team building, project management, usability, investment fund raising, branding and PR.

8. Start a conference or event

If you can build up a successful social media conference or event, you’ll be in a position of power where many of the top players in the industry will be asking you for speaking slots and other favors. Guys like @BrianSolis (Social Media Club), @BTabke (PubCon), @ChrisBrogan (Podcamp) or @AndrewHyde (Startup Weekend) started their own conferences and leveraged them to build considerable connections and influence.

Skills needed: Connections with top speakers, event planning, marketing and strong in-person social skills.

9. Learn how to design & theme blogs

Blog designers are like haute coture tailors. Guys like @pearsonified and @mezzoblue are the elite fashion designers of the online world who create the visual environments and set the trends we follow. They’re a rare breed of human with both brain hemispheres in balance – producing stylish art and perfect, valid code to match it — and their services are in top demand. Want to see your work everywhere? Get a double major in art & computer science and go for it!

Skills needed: PHP, CSS, XHTML + design & illustration.

10. Learn how to develop web applications

Code a new WordPress gadget or web tool that fixes a problem and you’ll be everyone’s hero. (Until that tool breaks due to some external circumstance or you fail to provide round-the-clock instant free customer support during weekends and holidays – then people will hate you and say you’re a jerk.) Developer rocks stars like @FirstDigg (SocialBlade) or @Yoast (SEO tools and WordPress plugins) — who create useful tools and keep cool while fixing them — get massive community respect.

Skills needed: PHP, MySQL, Ruby, Air, XHTML / CSS, technical support and documentation.

11. Get hired by a famous company

If you get hired by an influential company as an evangelist, social media guy or product manager… you can ride the coat-tails of the company’s brand power and get instant credibility. Plus you can go to conferences and land speaking slots on the company nickel. Some folks, like @GuyKawasaki (ex-Apple), @VanessaFox (ex-Google) or @Scobleizer (ex-Microsoft) – did some time under the limelight at a big company for a few years – built their name up – and then broke free while keeping their celebrity status.

Skills needed: Team player, cooperative, reliable, organized, superior attention to detail. Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel. Ability to lift 30 to 50 lbs. and travel up to 20% of time.

    ArabCrunch,

    Most of us would be lucky if they could do any one of these things well… so I think of this as a list of different possible paths to take.

    Also, nice job on promoting technology in the Arab world! I think the internet is ripe with infinite cultural and economic opportunities that have just begin to get tapped.

  • http://www.israelisoldiersmother.blogspot.com A Soldiers Mother

    Excellent summary of ways to “get noticed”. I’m not sure how many of them are within reach of most social media participants, but there is does seem to be several that are reachable. I think it is important when reaching for those large numbers of contacts to differentiate between those you feel will give you valuable information versus those who won’t…and will most likely not even follow you anyway.

    I’m not sure what anyone gains by joining in the new celeb race for the highest number of followers (beyond helping charity, if the celeb achieves their goal). I can’t really see some of these people genuinely sitting there and tweeting in 140 character tweets. I don’t like seeing a useful medium taken over by these types of actions. Rather – the concept is to follow those of interest and those who will provide you with valuable info and expand your knowledge, or simply those you enjoy hearing from…and, in turn, hope others will follow you.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    A Soliders Mother,

    I think that any / all of these could be attained with enough determination and hard work. Most of the people who attained them definitely tried and failed for years before getting recognized.

    Not everyone will be able to do all of them.. but the idea was to illustrate the most common paths to widespread recognition.. talk about what kind of skills it takes to get talked about… to give some inspiration or a sense of direction.

  • Guest

    Great post, Brett, you named some great people as examples and clearly stated some of the standards the web holds people to.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Neal,

    Thanks a lot. The web is ultra-competitive and with 30,000,000 free channels for people to surf… they’re eventually only gonna be able to focus on the ones that are the most unique and interesting.

  • http://travelsocial.blogspot.com/ Roseanne Landay

    Brett,

    I found this post very helpful, especially for those of us who are a little late to the game. It is encouraging to see that there are so many different paths for recognition and that, given the variety of skill sets required, a broad spectrum of people can be successful in this area.

    I tweeted you; I blogged you; I commented you. What else can I do to spread the word?

    Thanks!

    Roseanne

    There are really good tips, Brett – I’ll be retweeting this shortly for others to read & learn! Thx!

    Roseanne,

    We’re all “late to the game” and everyone is making it up as they go along. There are many different paths to take… some you have a chance at. .some you’ll just never have the skills… nothing wrong with just being an “enthusiast” and take it easy… but if you want a name or attention – this seems to be usually how it’s given out.

    I really appreciate your help in sharing this – it gave the the opportunity to connect and check out your stuff.

    I’ve taken a unique and interesting path to a certain level of notoriety. The biggest success I’ve had though has come from offline meeting and communication follow through. Take it to the next level if you can, that is what’s going to separate you from the rest of the pack.

  • http://arabcrunch.com ArabCrunch

    Thanks Brett, and yep i agree.

    Hi Brett, great list but fyi Matt’s twitter link is broken ;)

    Also, under video production, would be awesome if you put up your examples of homegrown video rockstars (eg. Feldman, Gary V?)

  • http://BeSocialWorldwide.com Dawn

    That about covers every aspect of getting noticed, now to accomplish them all :) Okay maybe just focus on one area at a time. As an overall rule for every area is providing quality content useful to others.

  • http://blindinfluence.com Brett Greene

    Wow. You covered everything. The only thing you could have added would have been resources for who to hire to do the aspects people don’t want to do themselves. Excellent post. Thanks!

    i totally agree that those are missing, thanks for the heads up!

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Yup… people online are like moths seeking a light or bears seeking honey. If you built your skills and create some luminous salve or nectar (of many different types) that people will savor… you’ll be appreciated and recognized. It’s the most sure-fire path to success.

    Brett as always a wonderful post.

    I think one of the best ways to “get noticed” is to be bold and make statements that can be backed up. And you know, not be lazy about it.

    There is almost a borg factor in play here. Being plugged in at all times and absorbing knowledge at hemorrhaging rates and then sharing that knowledge with the people who don’t know.

    I’ve found that a lot of what gets tweeted and retweeted and blogged about is the same information being reiterated with a different voice over and over again. By offering something new and interesting, in a bold voice (be it in writing, graphics, video or service) you are more than likely to gain attention because you refuse to blend into the crowd.

    I love this list man. It covers all the bases. What’s great about it too is that some of the items inform the other items too so if one person can cover multiple bases it’s only that much better in the long run.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Tommy,

    Awesome insight here. You are so night. I’m reluctant to mention it in the “skills and contributions” focus of this article, but some people do make a huge splash by making bold claims — even negative or offensive ones — and having something they can back it up with.

    There are some people who are outrageous narcissists or “badboy” rock stars – some are evil geniuses and loudmouth firebrands – but they make a splash because they break the rules.

    Also, as you said, just plain being connected and sharing it with people who are less connected is important. sometimes I feel really dumb and out-of-the-loop about the zillions of new cutting-edge sites and trends on the internet… and I panic .. but I think “Relax… There’s always going to be new people who know way less than you do… and you will be able to help them just as you are now.”

  • http://blog.roguestar.tv Tommy_of_RogueStar

    Being bold takes a lot more work because you build a certain expectation.

    I think what the most important thing to remember is that who we are online is merely a series of images and combination of words. With a little bit of social psychology/manipulation you can create a persona that people can be drawn too because you fit an archetype that has worked for centuries.

    I think this qualifies me for the “evil genius” role you mentioned earlier. Truth be told in real life I’m a wicked nice guy. :P

  • http://www.awebguy.com/ Mark Aaron Murnahan

    I think you wrote a great article, so I don’t mean to criticize. I just noticed that you made no mention of never, under any circumstances, get too comfortable with where you are. There is always somebody else lurking around the corner who will gladly take you place at the podium.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Mark,

    I agree. I never get too comfortable in social media because I know I am 3 months from being obsolete… or less. As much as I do love social media, I sometimes kind of resent the fast-pace of it. Just earlier today I was fantasizing about people who lived pre-IT rural lifestyles… for whom nothing changed THAT much in the past 50 years.

    I once lived on a farm in the Himayas for 4 months and as blissful as it was in some ways, I was craving broadband and new music… unstimulated and unsatisfied with what beautiful nature had to offer. So the treadmill is cranking and, you’re right, you have to stay on it or else.

  • http://scribnia.com/ Russpd

    Hmm…this is an interesting post but I think that it is a bit misguided. You are looking at who is relevant in social media today and insinuating that if you do what they do, you will be a social media rockstar as well. Building a powerful and innovative web application requires time and work; I really hope that nobody is doing that just to gain a small bit of recognition in social media. Ditto for taking a job at Google. Kevin Rose’s end goal was not to be recognized in social media, he is doing much bigger things with his life (i.e. building cool companies) and the recognition he gained is a natural result.

    The truth is there is no formula for being relevant in social media. Do something innovative and write about it in a compelling way. Figure out your niche and be genuinely passionate about it. This may sound trite but its a lot better than people doing something that they aren’t interested in just so they can increase their Twitter following and blog readers.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Russpd,

    I think that regardless of whatever the initial motives of many web developers, site founders or big company job seekers are – it is a direct path to recognition that has been proven time and time again. And the recognition that people get from their accomplishments is a huge, driving factor to keep them excellent and innovating.

    While I am not trying to discourage anyone from finding their niche or being authentic… I would say that finding your niche and writing about it isn’t enough for most people to get widely recognized… people do this all the time and fail to attain any revenue, mind share or compensation. I can think of a million very unique, personal blogs where people write about their passion that go unrecognized (not to say they’re not valuable or worthy.)

    People who do things they aren’t interested in will inevitably fail… and people who work hard on building remark-able skills and then focuses on using them to help the community has a much better chance of success.

    There are certainly exceptions to the rule… people who just become a hit wonder just for being themselves…. but it’s not something most people can bank on.

    Thanks for your comments and insight!

  • http://scribnia.com/ Russpd

    Brett,

    Thats a good point that you bring up. I would agree that the quality of one’s work is half the battle in getting exposure and accomplishing your dreams. The other part is definitely being able to market yourself.

    The reason why I responded in the way that I did was that I am a web developer working on an app. Its so much work that I can’t imagine why anyone would want to do it unless they really cared about the product / service — which in my case is helping bloggers and readers. You see entrepreneurs failing all the time because they aren’t committed or doing it for all the wrong reasons. But reading through your advice once again, I think I might have remarked too harshly because of my experience when there is a ton of valuable information in your post.

    Thanks for responding quickly and insightfully,

    Russpd,

    Making a web applications is a ridiculous, mind-boggling amount of work.

    And nobody makes a great web application (independently) unless they really care about the problem and the people it will help.

    Far from suggesting it’s an easy way to get recognized, I’d say it’s one of the hardest… but I wanted to put it out there as a seed idea so that someone might consider getting into Web app dev (“Hey..I’m fairly technical… If I really hunkered down and solved a problem for the community.. it would be an awesome win-win situation for me and veryone else, too.)

    How about becoming friends with a power user? You know, the old adage of it’s not what you know but who you know. Naturally you still have to have all the other qualities necessary, but it would certainly be able to boost your PR with others.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Sire,

    Becoming friends with power users is a GREAT strategy to get
    recognized. If you just spend time supporting or or two power users
    and helping them out, it can go a long, long way.

    I’m now writing a post about how build relationships through comments
    - which it looks like you more than completely understand on http://wassupblog.com/

    I will be linking to your post about reciprocal commenting tomorrow!

  • http://wassupblog.com Sire

    Yeah, I reckon I push the importance of commenting quite a bit on my blog, but that is only because I believe it to be so important. And it’s not just the commenting, it’s the quality of the comments that count.

    As for the upcoming link love, thanks a whole heap. I found your blog through Andrea Hills blog, and that just goes to show the power of commenting. As soon as I;m done posting this I’m subscribing to your blog so that I can keep tabs on you. Talking about subscribing, have you ever thought of adding a ‘subscribe to comments’ plugin?

  • http://wassupblog.com Sire

    Hey Brett, I only just noticed that the link in your comment is actually wrong. It should be http://wassuoblog.com ;)

    Okay Sire, how did you happen to get your link correct, but type it wrong in your comment? lol

  • http://www.imjustsharing.com Mitch

    Just asking, but would #8 cover the topic of doing webinars and the like? I’m thinking that would help to greatly improve recognition if people are comfortable being in front of a crowd, and of course have something to say and share.

  • http://socialmediarockstar.com Brett Borders

    Mitch,

    Sure… a popular websinar could bring you a good bit of recognition. I think, there’s this very powerful social allure to in-person events with multiple speakers… where the founders in charge of programming the “who’s who” of that technical niche. That seems to get a lot of recognition… but webinars and other ways of share free content on the web are definitely possible!

    “Great minds discuss ideas; Average minds discuss events; Small minds discuss people.”
    ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

    Social Media is the structure which is basically the discussion of “talking about talking.” It is the content that makes the difference. Your blog post has valuable steps and ideas to structure your social media persona.

    Brett, even more valuable are your responses to the comments in this post. That is a two-way conversation that is what the structure of social media is all about.

    Beyond the content and structure is the context. The context is the market or the focus of desired expertise. The structure (social media) becomes invisible as the content (valuable information) and the context (the right market) become joined closely to provide the audience with what they want to consume.

    So, thanks, Brett for discussing some great ideas for becoming a Social Media Rockstar.

    Sherrie,

    Social media sometimes reminds me of a pyramid scheme. People talking about ideas… talking about people.. talking about ideas.. talking about conversations.. conversations about influence and context… talking about tools to enable conversations… but where does it all lead too? What does it all “rest” on?

    I’m not really, exactly sure to be honest… I just try and provide a little bit of light that other people can use to help find themselves down into the mysteries of the bottomless tunnel… but at least I am enjoying the ride@!

    Thanks so much for your awesome, insightful comment!

    There are the most common, predictable ways people are successful. I
    think the key is that in social media you have to give something in
    order to get something. I’m going the blogger path…. but a company
    like IBM would have the skills or resources to develop a Web
    application ,etc.

    Fundamentally a great list of “to-dos”. Functionally, some of the goals are a little improvable (3 million bloggers hired at Google! ). I doubt that will happen… But the points to take from here are the concepts. They are live and in living color. These are solid suggestions cloaked in a smiley face. If you do not dream to rub shoulders with Digg and Twitter, guess what? You won’t. Being a small company (I suggest an s-corporation), you wear a lot hats, as implicated above. Juggling the talents and creativity of each is what makes a leader in his/her niche. Damn the Naysayers; full speed ahead!!

    Fours thumbs up!! B/T/W, do you have contact at Google I can use??? :-)

    DoktorThomas,

    I have a contact at Google / YouTube. What are you looking for??

  • Anonymous

    Brett,
    Thanks so much for your consideration. But in the spirit of the article I
    was using a bit of hyperbole.

    While I love Google and am fairly web savvy, my skills are along the line of
    corporate secretary (retired lawyer), not IT (where they are probably
    looking). No, doubt Google has their man/person in that CS position, who
    holds privy to many corporate secrets. An unknown from the mid-west is an
    unlikely candidate.

    I am charmed that you would crack the door for me; however, such an
    opportunity would do neither of us justice. My place is more in line with
    coaching you on how to organize and structure your business in order to keep
    most the money you are making. Helping others understand those concepts,
    from aggressive use of the tax code and defense organization to thwart
    ruthless lawyers, is my mission. So many, even professionals, do not
    comprehend how s-corporations really work. Google apparently does not need
    that expertise.

    Thanks every so much; I do appreciate it. If I can be of assistance, you
    know how to contact me.

    Cordially,
    Dr. Allen Thomas
