Re: The empathetic copywriter

Agreed. I find it hard to be honest.

And no matter how good you are at empathising with strangers, it's never quite gonna be a 100% connection.

When I started out, I often wrote to parents with guesswork-empathy. Now I'm actually a dad, it's a world apart from what I imagined.

Still, just taking some time to study and think about the customer goes a long way.

Maybe I'll crack it one day. If so, I'll check back in. :)

Not dead, just busy lately. Like your article.
Nature nurture? Not sure, but it seems like some adults are built for it and some aren't.

Dear Jimmy,

You're dead right, sir.

Empathy is a must-have for every real copywriter.

I often think about studying psychology to take it to the next level. John Carlton insists the pop psych stuff is best.

Do you think empathy is more of a natural trait, or can it be worked at?

What a thorough article. I didn't know you can change up the tabs across
the top. Just starting a page for a client and it still needs a lot of
work.

On the point of using apps to make your Facebook presence interesting and useful for your fans, I've been working on a way of incorporating detailed technical illustrations on Facebook.

Besides working as a blogg, it has soooo much potential as a platform for sharing detailed practical technical information.

For example: a map of the Royal Wedding route: http://tinyurl.com/5sf8qg8

What do you think?

Re: 23 Linkedin Tips. Or a B2B Linkedin cheat sheet

Thanks for the comment. I agree – slideshare is a great way to demonstrate thought leadership.

Re: 23 Linkedin Tips. Or a B2B Linkedin cheat sheet

Very nice! Great list for anyone trying to use linkedin effectively. Its the dark-horse in the social media world it seems... No one really knows how to use it effectively but this guide is definitely a solid start for people in B2B. I'd add that we should try to stand out using dynamic add-ons like slideshare and upload presentations. Ranging from presentations that we've given to presentations simply telling a story about you or your business. Either way, its a solid way to differentiate from the pack.

It wasn't me. It was the software. Thanks for commenting.

You were pretty spot on - Nice work...

Re: Social media monitoring software selection: Why we chose Social Radar.

Jimmy Gilmore — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:15:01 -0000

You hit on what I was subtly getting at. We have multiple clients. None of them are huge consumer brands that justify a per search basis cost. I feel that some of these services are priced for large corporations.

Social Radar charges us a flat fee.

As a consultant, you may go from client to client so you're not consistently tracking a lot of searches. It's one client this week, another the next. Radian6 probably makes the most sense that case.

I honestly think you're going to have to look specifically at your needs and your budget then match them to the tools.

Ian Armstrong — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 15:42:30 -0000

I'm curious, Jimmy, are any of these products better situated to use in a social media consultancy environment - where monitoring and reporting is being done for multiple clients vs. a single company?

Concur. A lot of companies including mine must reawaken our Startup mentalities, and wear whatever hats we mus to get the job done. Cleaner, Meaner, and Smarter

Thanks for the great list of pointers. You can bet I'll use this as a reference when I do my next profile for our client.

We work with a lot of B2B businesses at Kilgannon including automotive. Unfortunately, not everyone in B2B is active in all social media channels. Obviously Ford is on the consumer side but I'm not so sure they're engaging on the B2B side as much. Thanks for reading.
