A Simple Way To Stand Out With Your Network

Posted March 25, 2016

shout outs rock

Here’s a really cool (and incredibly easy) way for you to stand out with your social network.

Embrace the art of the “shout out”.

A “shout out” is when you tag someone from your network and help them look like a rock star to the rest of your network.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that when you do this, you stand out!

Here are several examples . . .

Adam Russell sent this kind shout out my way. He tagged my name and called everyone’s attention to a recent post of mine!

Shout out 1

Rich Filar did the same thing for two people in his network. Check out the reaction he received!

Shout out 2

Stephen Lahey called everyone’s attention to not only someone in his network, he called attention to an article they authored.

shout out 5

Work anniversaries are great opportunities for a shout out!

shout out 3

When someone in your network posts a job, share it and tag the person. I typically would write something like “Let’s help Julie Solomon spread the word!”

shout out 4

Pete Primeau uses the shout out to bring people into a discussion where they can truly look like a rock star.

shout out 8

Here’s a shout out I did (yesterday) on Twitter!

shout out 6

So here’s the deal folks . . .

By doing these shout outs you help someone look like a rock star

You help them get the word out

You get to feel awesome and . . .

As a bonus, you get to stand out!
