Some really creative, brand-relevant ideas from ESPN’s @JonPaulRexing on monetizing social beyond sponsored posts. #SoMoConf

ESPN has an inventory limit on social posts — set at ~5% of normal tweet/post volume; haven’t gotten complaints from fans. #somoconf — Beth Lawton (@bethlawton) August 20, 2014

ESPN’s goal with SC app is to ‘deliver the ultimate fan experience’. Publishers would be wise 2 think of audience in the same way. #SoMoConf

While #ESPN and #CBSLocal consolidate apps, other media are creating newer, smaller, local ones. Is ESPN onto something? #mobile #somoconf — Canoe Media Services (@CanoeMedia) August 20, 2014

Does reach equal success? Nope… Reach and engagement may lead to awareness, but it doesn’t equal intent. #somoconf — Beth Lawton (@bethlawton) August 20, 2014

From @LutzFinger: the longer someone spends time reading an article, the less likely they are to share it! #SoMoConf pic.twitter.com/VWTA3bIYdG

How do you measure good content? Drivers are emotionality, word count, time, type, weather, promotion, demographics @LutzFinger #SoMoConf — Brandon Erlacher (@bserlacher) August 20, 2014
