The first time I talk to a group about the changing rules of conversation, I typically share my 10 Commandments of Social Media. It is usually one of the most talked about parts of the learning event. I recently turned it into an article for ChurchExecutive.com.

Here is a peak at the list. Read the entire article here.

1. Encourage user-generated content.
2. Make it shareable.
3. Keep relationships the primary focus.
4. Provide value.
5. Create excellent content.
6. Use social media strategically, not casually.
7. Keep it short and simple.
8. Measure–and measure again.
9. Market your social media presence.
10. Be patient.

What words of wisdom would you add to the list?
