Let鈥檚 face it. We all need a role model from time to time, especially when we want to get better at something. And I鈥檓 always looking for ways to improve my social media savvy.
One of my social media role models is fellow Kansas Citian . I鈥檝e learned from his insights and I enjoy the fact that he delivers it with humor. I don鈥檛 know about you, but I don鈥檛 much like recommendations when they鈥檙e served up with smugness or condescension.
So, as I was reading being a social media genius, all I could think about was that I had to share. It contains most of the things I think make for good social media:
- Fresh perspective
- Good writing
- Quirky humor
- Nuggets of knowledge
- More good writing

Wright doesn鈥檛 toot his own horn either. Instead, he steps aside and points to Weird Al as the example we should be paying attention to. Why? Because there were 1,605 articles written about Weird Al during the first week of his campaign. And those articles got almost two million shares.
I offer you the beginning of Wright鈥檚 post, and hope you read the entire thing. I think you鈥檒l appreciate it.
Why Weird Al is the King of Content & Social Media
When people ask, 鈥淲ho are your favorite bands of all-time?鈥� to people from my generation, you hear the usual suspects鈥� The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, The Beastie Boys, M枚tley Cr眉e, and Pearl Jam. Those are a few that I rattle off鈥� and I typically forget Weird Al Yankovic. After hearing his latest album tonight and seeing how he continues to weave in relevant content pertaining to today鈥檚 trends is nothing short of amazing, I鈥檝e recognized that he has an amazing way to stay relevant with his content.
I鈥檓 completely in awe in how he has launched his 14th studio album this week, Mandatory Fun, and has launched a video each day of this week, so far. And he is busting out 8 videos total in 8 days? That鈥檚 amazing! He is a content creation machine!
