Author: Social media implies that you facilitate a two-way discussion, rather than a one-way bombardment of marketing messages. In short, this means that you stay engaged and in a discussion with visitors.
Social Media sites come and go like the wind. It seems like every 5 seconds some entrepreneur is just around the corner with another Digg or del.icio.us knockoff.
Hoping that whatever maneuver they can bring to the table will make them this week’s hot topic or at least clever enough to catch the eye of whomever might have some money and want to absorb some wicked bit of code or an entire social media community.
Social media (or new media) involves a LOT of things, a lot of tech, and could need a lot of resources (not necessarily money). When you say you do social media, and you want to launch a network of some sort, does that mean the entire process is done in-house?
Social media marketing can bring traffic and links to any website. Too often, marketers overlook the value of social media and tend to stick with traditional methods, while the younger generation of webpreneurs has employed social sites as an every-day strategy.
Social media is gowing at a such a rate that domains, websites and blogsites will increase in value due to the increased demand for webspace. The social aspect is driving the net into new territory and expands exponentially because of its viral nature.
Social media – as understood in a Web 2.0 context and has enabled us to play more effectively than was practical previously, on a global field.
Social Media has released us, freed us: and we won’t go back. Social media has been a great resource for both ideas and traffic for my blog. If you work and get noticed in social media and it gets passed around that’s a great way to promote your work.
Social media seek’s (in theory and in word, at least) a different kind of influence: peer review and approval. The medium and the form of discourse that it supports are wide open.
Social Media is a Branding Exercise – while social media sites can send you a lot of traffic very very quickly they can also be excellent places to do branding. Every time a reader or potential reader comes across you on a social media site the more you reinforce your brand.
Social media marketing is actually becoming necessary but it has to be done right. It is about the weight of numbers and it will bring some honesty, ethics and accountability back to doing business.
Social Media is conversational media in all its interactive forms including text, video and spoken words – whether face to face, over the Internet, over the airwaves or via mobile technologies such as iPods and cell phones.
A Social Media Club is intended to be a place where amateurs and professionals can come together to learn from one another, to understand each other and to work together on the things that make meaning in their lives – their personal passions, their professional endeavours and their noble pursuits.
Social Media, doesn’t even really exist as a subset of media. Everything is social now, we just expect it. Social media companies will race to provide metrics that show impressive results, but that’s not necessarily a good thing, especially given the ways measurement may shape investment and in turn shape the evolution of social mediums.
Social media campaign’s go far beyond the traditional agency model of media planning and buying. So do advertisers they actually get into the game and get their campaign’s out there.
Social media is changing the way online businesses advertise because control of the message is shifting to the consumer.
Social Media Optimization (SMO) is a new term that was recently coined by Rohit Bhargava and has since been taking on life of its own. SMO tactics can drive huge amounts of people to a website and can also determine whether a startup, website or idea will make it or not.
Social media will be the optimal place to market especially with a recession. Social networks are a rich source of HIGHLY niche audiences and therefore are highly target-able.
We would all like to earn money from our internet connection. Its not even as if the information to do this is hard to come by. The problem is just the sheer number of schemes and get rich quick plans available. What is good, what is bad, what is a scam, and what really works?
To make money from the internet is really not that difficult. Nor need it be as expensive or time consuming as many full time professional internet marketeers would have you believe. These internet marketing types are very persuasive people. For them to make money selling their information to us, they have to be. Thats how they make a living; a very substantial one.
Now don’t misunderstand me. There is nothing wrong with the information these guys are offering you. Follow all their instructions and you have every chance of making some serious money – eventually. It’s still a struggle with a massive commitment of time and effort, a long and expensive road to travel, before the first results trickle into your bank account.
Probably, like me, you’ve attended marketing seminars and possibly the odd marketing conference. You may even have bought sure-fire money making courses along with all the attendant manuals, CD’s and DVD collections. Personally I found I didn’t have time to wade through the reams of copy and countless videos, not to mention the constant e-mail bombardment with all the other ‘must have’ associated offers. It becomes a frustrating search for the relevant nuggets of information amongst all the padding and hype.
Often you have not been prepared for how hit and miss internet marketing can be. You find yourself stuck and missing a simple piece of the jigsaw, a little piece of information that is buried amongst the forest of verbiage. This can make all the difference to success or failure when it comes to doing business via the net.
Of course real marketing gurus are the people who’ve cracked all this. They’re the ones making a substantial income on the internet. The question is – How? Having talked to many such people, it seems they all struggled when they first started. Through perseverence they found a system that worked and used it over and over again. As the money came in they diversified, employing other increasingly lucrative systems for making money. Resulting in multiple streams of income.
When one of my favorite ‘gurus’ explains how we should make money, he says: “You must do exactly as I do” Well I take that to mean that I should forget the huge and expensive courses and do exactly as their marketers do. Glean from the search engines the free information that is available and check out who the top marketing gurus are. These are the ones listed highly on Google and Yahoo. Do what they do, use the services and copywriting styles they use, after all this is how they are making their money!
People earning in this fashion come from all walks of life, many will freely admit to not being highly educated. So can’t we do as they do? I think we can.
With the correct mindset, belief, drive and tenacity we too have the potential to become marketing gurus.
