Telling a story through social media

Really interesting blog on using social media to tell your own story. It’s tied into personal branding on the web. It impacts on my work in two ones. One is developing my own personal brand on social network sights. What is my brand , and what does that mean. The other is using social networks to develop the SEER brand.
Key tips suggested includes using behind the sences shots – giving people an inside look at what you are doing , for the seer this really means looking at the development of the project. Script/art work / film and publishing , each step needs to be included, documented and recorded and posted on line.
So everybody who becomes involved must accept that their picture will be posted on the face book page. Links to their own sights.

Telling a story on line using social media includes characterization.
What social networks are you using? Where will the SEER be and why?
· the channels the seer uses
· the language the seer use
· the seer profile data
· the photos the Seer publishs of herself and others
· the Seer sinterests, pastimes, and the topics you focus on, including links and other content you promote
· your frequency and depth of public engagement with others
· the places you like to visit or meet others
THE PLOT:
The plot to the story is the SEER daily updates as regards what is happening to her. Where she is going and what she is doing day to day.
Perheps this is something that Courtny can do , also perhaps Kris could complete Big D ( in fact can all the boys offer something here)!
So for you as an individual trying to build a personal brand, your plotline is your news: what happens every day, and what it means to you. If you have multiple plotlines (reflecting different facets of your life), those events may have a range of impacts on your life. Which parts you choose to communicate, and the ways in which you communicate them, is up to you as the storyteller.
narrative piece:
…[N]arrative is the way you tell stories. It’s the glue that ties your characters to the plot events in your story. As well as elements like scene setting, narrative includes description, so we’ll deal with these aspects together.
You are the key narrator in your own personal branding story, though other characters may have a part in narrating from time to time (for example, a guest blogger narrates part of your brand story while you’re on vacation, or away at a conference).
Since you’re the narrator, the way you tell your story will be driven largely by your character. The channels you choose, and how effectively you use them to narrate your story, will also depend on your character.
