Social Media - Why It's Ok Not To Have A Social Media Strategy

Submitted by: Andrew Atalla

Social is the new buzz word. Everyone’s doing it, and everyone’s talking about it. Buzz Tracking, Social Media Monitoring, Perception management – it’s all big business now, with agencies popping up all over the place specialising in this market alone.

Meanwhile, marketers are running around trying to get in on the bandwagon which, without proper consideration, may not even take them anywhere.

I can just imagine the water-cooler moment with two marketing heads talking about how amazing it is that Facebook has grown so fast, before immediately deciding that they need a corporate Facebook page. A month later, they’re starting a Twitter account and presenting to their bosses about how they’re at the forefront of digital.

Fools rush in

While this ‘social media strategy’ may get them a pat on the back, it rarely results in any genuine business success, neither does it really represent any form of strategy. However, you could argue that the only thing wasted is a bit of time, so it’s not a huge problem. This is true only until we realise how significant the gain may have been – as which point the opportunity cost becomes quite significant.

The problem arises from today’s action-led corporate world, where we are obsessed with all things ‘doing’. What we’re doing, what we’ve done and what we’re going to do. As long as we’re doing, our salaries are safe.

Sit quietly and listen...

When developing a social media strategy, try a different approach. Just this one time, park being proactive and instead, realise it’s ok to not know what you’re supposed to do. Only with this mindset will you be able to extract from the new and exciting world of social media the real value. After all – this is not an arena for you to flex your corporate biceps, but rather to sit quietly. Listen. Absorb. Consider.

When search marketing started booming, it was a revolution. Representing ‘pull marketing’, search allowed companies to target active consumers who were genuinely ‘in the market’. As the consumers were in charge, they didn’t mind being fed messages by companies trying to bid for their business as they had, in fact, requested it. This happy relationship meant we could all go about our business, lining the pockets of Google.

The mindset of a social surfer is entirely different. They're not calling your customer service centre or placing an order online, they're just chatting. It just so happens that the online world is so transparent, you know exactly what they’re chatting about. Whilst the ‘doing’ urge might be strong, it would be rude to barge in.

Design a considered response

The first problem is that consumers are bored of companies trying to sway their opinion. And to be fair, you can see why, given that an average person is exposed to 1000s of marketing messages each and every day.

The second problem is that a company’s urge to ‘do something’ often results in a defensive approach, rather than a creative one. My favourite example is from EA Sports, who responded to a video posted by a customer on YouTube.

The ‘Jesus Shot’ showed Tiger Woods being able to walk on water due a bug in the PGA Tour 2008 EA Sports game. Clearly a glitch, a natural response would have been to run off and try to fix it for the next release. Perhaps communicate with the poster about the fix, send him a free game as a thankyou for his feedback, and assume you’ve correctly leveraged ‘social’ to its full potential.

EA took a different tack, using this feedback to create a reply which has now been viewed over 3 million times. Had EA not tracked the space with such an open and creative mindset, this initiative would never have occurred, and their brand would have been interacted with 3 million times less.

Let the consumers take the lead

The first thing you need to do is simply to start tracking. There are a number of paid tools you can subscribe to, although many will be too expensive for non blue chip companies. However, there are other few tools you can use, or get your agency to start tracking this for you.

At the very least, you should set up some Google Alerts for your company name, your competitors, and indeed the core terms relating to your market and offering. Make a list of some of the key sites you know where people discuss what you offer and check them regularly.

Check in on Facebook every now and then to see if there are any groups which related to what you do, hunt out relevant blogs, track the twitter space closely to get a feel for the zeitgeist of your industry – immerse yourself in your consumers.

Know your audience

With the correct systems in place, it's possible to learn more about your audience than ever before. What they like, what they hate, what they tell their friends and what they fear. Intelligent, considered and creative analysis of what you find can lead you down many a road which you had not even considered.

As I said – it’s ok to not have a social media strategy just yet. In fact, I think that’s the whole point...

Putting the Social in Social Media Marketing

Submitted by: James Copper

Social media marketing has certainly taken the world of entrepreneurship by storm. And, really, why would this be surprising? Social networking platforms provide blogging, messaging, bulletin board, and audio/video promotional access to million of people completely free of charge. To say this is a gift to the world of online marketing would be the understatement of the century. However, the presence of these benefits alone will not make a social media marketing venture successful. There is a secret to making such a promotional tactic work and it centers on the word social. In other words, the key to succeeding with social media marketing is not to promote the product or service as much as it is to promote the person offering the product or service.

This is really not a novel concept. All you need to do is look at several famous gurus who have made a fortune promoting their wares. Anthony Robbins' entire self-help fortune was built on his charismatic oratory skills. Richard Simmons has delivered countless diet and weight loss products to the market that sold quite strongly based on his likeability and trust factor. Yes, the products these men and other gurus like them sold also had much value and delivered what they promised. But, the key factor that separated the success of these individuals from those products that did not do as well in marketplace was the fact these men sold their strong personalities first and their products second. It was this trust that they developed in their audience first that made purchasing their products more appealing.

When this approach is moved to the realm of social media marketing, it can deliver tremendous results. Again, that is why you want to stress the social aspects of a social media profile vs. the product at least initially.

How can this be achieved? There is not single, solitary manner that one can model a social media marketing plan into. This is a good thing since it opens the door to a great deal of creative expression. However, if there was one thing to avoid it would be to use the social media platform as a means of hard selling your wares. Such an approach seldom works because it makes you look as if you really are not interested in engaging the other members of the social networking aite. If you are not interested in them, they will not be interested in you. But, if you use the platform as a means of promoting your positive attributes and making contact with the members of the networking community, you will discover your ability to promote an entrepreneurial venture has a greater chance of success.

In essence, you want your social networking platform to make contacts with like minded people. Whether you make your presentational platform entertaining or informative is up to you. The specific approach (audio, visual, prose oriented) is up to you as well. The key here is that you want to establish value and credibility with your intended audience. From this, you can later move on to the next stage (which is actual sales) in a much easier manner and to a larger, more accepting audience. That is the key to social media marketing success bar none!

How to Earn Money With Facebook- The Best Tips Here

Submitted by: Kellie Purden

Facebook has quickly gained its reputation as the largest social networking site in the world. This is the reason why it would not be surprising that such site can also be used as a moneymaking tool. Its capacity to connect thousands, or if not millions, of people opens doors to those who are aspiring to know how to earn money with Facebook.

People who wanted to earn with Facebook may try to work as an online influencer. Online influencers are people who post product or company related web content using their timelines or walls. They were often asked to post advertisements that could capture the attention of the “netizens” whom, in one way or another, can serve as the future customers of the company or the product that is being promoted.

The compensation that they would get from the posts that they would make would usually depend on the number of people who would get to see the advertisement that they posted. In other words, it works like an ordinary pay-per-click advertising scheme that people usually see on various webpages across the internet.

There are also cases when the compensation is based on the size of the network of the online influencer. The online influencer would be paid depending on the number of friends or subscribers that he has on Facebook and not on the number of people who would check out the ad that he posted.

People who wanted to earn via Facebook may also try to work for website owners who wanted to gain some web traffic for their webpages. These website owners would usually hire people who are willing to post company-related links in their timelines. The payment scheme in this moneymaking scheme is often similar to the previous example.

People who wanted to know how to earn money with Facebook may also try to learn how to develop marketable Facebook applications. They could easily sell the applications that they have developed to various web application distributors across Facebook. The compensation in this moneymaking scheme is usually fixed, though it can also be negotiable. What is even better is that the developer would usually acquire a royalty fee that is dependent on the agreement that has made between him and the developer.

People who wanted to earn through Facebook may also try to join several Facebook events online. These Facebook events would usually need people who can increase the popularity of a particular event in Facebook. They are usually asked to invite people who could attend the online event in exchange for compensation that is based on the amount of people who would be able to attend the event.

Facebook can also be a ground for people who want to establish a small business. You can look for Facebook friends who could also serve as your prospective clients. You could tag these people into your Facebook posts that serve as a marketing tool for the product that you are trying to sell. You may even ask these people to share the content that you posts, thus making the information on your products viral and more popular.

The possibilities on earning with Facebook are generally limitless. As long as you have the drive to learn how to earn money with Facebook, you would never fail to find a moneymaking scheme that is perfect for you.

How to Make Money With Video Marketing on Facebook

Submitted by: Filippo T. Toso

Over the past few years there has been a huge growth in social networking sites, such as Facebook, and this has opened the door to a whole new level of marketing possibilities. Marketers are realizing that social networking sites are literally like gold mines just waiting to be exploited, however I know that many marketers aren’t sure how to make the most of this opportunity, so in this article I'd like to show you how to make money with video marketing on Facebook.

In fact Facebook is one of the largest sites around right now and gets hundreds of thousands of visitors each and every day from all over the world. By carefully planning out your video marketing activities it is possible to exploit this large volume or traffic and get maximum exposure for your website, product or service!

However, making real money from Facebook is not as simple as uploading a video and then waiting for the profit to roll in! You must realize that there are certain things you need to bear in mind when creating your video marketing strategy for Facebook.

I find that one of the biggest problems is that marketers are creating their videos without actually knowing who they are targeting. Let me explain: if you aren't sure of who you are targeting then how can you possibly hope to be successful with your video marketing on Facebook?

For instance, a piece of video marketing on Facebook aimed at men aged 50 and over is going to be very different in style to a Facebook video aimed at teenage girls for example.

By deciding which target demographic you want to aim your promotion towards before creating your video, you can ensure that your video marketing on Facebook will be much more successful. Of course, you can make as many videos tailored towards as many demographics as you wish, so you may decide to make one Facebook video aimed at teenagers, and another aimed at people in their 30s etc.

Another thing that a lot of marketers seem to struggle with is actually taking the time to do a little bit of research into the video marketing on Facebook which already exists within their niche.

By looking at existing videos from competitors offering a similar product or service, you can gain a good understanding of what style of video actually works well in your particular market - it may also lead you to discover an area that is not yet being exploited, allowing you to become the first person to take advantage of this.

Ask yourself what makes a successful Facebook video and make notes about the quality of the video, the length as well as any images or thumbnails it may use. Also take note of the keywords and description it uses. Doing this groundwork will help you to create the most effective video marketing campaign on Facebook, and will maximize the amount of viewers your video will get and the exposure for whatever it is you are promoting.

Now you can begin to actually create your Facebook video. By having a clear target audience you can tailor your video to match your audience.

Another issue that I often see are videos which do not make effective use of titles, descriptions and tags. Remember that Facebook Video offers you the chance to enter all of these details, so ensure that you fill them in. Use a title that is relevant to the content of your Facebook video, you may also decide to include a few keywords in your title. Enter an accurate description of your video so that your viewers know what it is about before they actually watch it, again you can include keywords here, and even a link to your website. Finally, you can use Facebook video 'tagging' to identify the people in your video - this is great if your video features a well known personality or expert!

Unlike many social networking sites, Facebook is made up of a lot of people who already know each other, perhaps old school mates, or work colleagues for instance. The thing to bear in mind whenever you carry out video marketing campaign on Facebook is that these people know each other in real life, and have probably been friends for many years. Therefore simply trying to force feed them your promotion is not likely to get you results. The real key to successfully making money through video marketing on Facebook is to offer true value in the information you are presenting.

Using video marketing on Facebook to make money is not as difficult as you may imagine, however the unique nature of Facebook means that you may have to adjust your strategies and use marketing techniques that you may not have used before.

Twitter Marketing Basics - How You Can Use Twitter Marketing to Grow Your Online Business and Finally Make Money Online

Submitted by: Paul Friar

Twitter is a powerful marketing resource that you can use regardless of the online business you are in. You can use it to greatly increase the amount traffic you get to your website via regular and informative posts of quality content. Let us now take a look at some of the marketing features available to you when you setup a twitter account.

The marketing features of twitter include such features as direct messaging, the ability to twitter on the move (mobile twittering) and twitter niche market searching. Twitter is after all a type of simplified social networking website, where you spread with other users all the things you are currently doing.

There is a live public time line feature on Twitter that has all the latest tweets (it is a live feature so it has updates every second, simply refresh your screen to see more). Every member who tweets (posts a message) will have their tweets posted onto the public timeline (unless they have chosen to keep their tweets private) This is one way you will advertise your business, so post quality tweets, and as the length of each tweet you are allowed to post is only 140 characters, you have to keep it short as well as informative. Just get to the point quickly!

Remember that you can only see tweets that are allowed onto the public time line, if a twitter user has made their tweets private you will not be able to see them, only people that has followed them can see their messages (yet another good reason for following someone). Choose those who are in the same market as you to follow, and others will follow you based on the same criteria. You can send private messages (known as direct messages) to the people that follow you safe in the knowledge that no one else can read them, and keep them up to speed with developments that are of interest to you both.

You must not make the mistake of thinking that Twitter is just another of those web things that will disappear like all the rest and no one will even remember it in a few years time. All the evidence available suggests that twitter is defying everyone’s expectations and growing long after everyone thought it would slowly fade away. It may be growing at a slightly slower pace, but its still growing.

The marketing potential of this site simply cannot be overestimated. The option of meeting others who share your interests and sharing information and links is truly awesome in terms of what it can do for your business, and you take a terrible risk in delaying getting a twitter account. Twitter is a wonderful place to conduct a business, but you should get help with the finer aspects of managing your twitter account. There are services and software out there to help you do exactly that, but lets continue with what twitter can do for you.

Below is recap of just some of things you can do with a Twitter account.

1. Send direct messages to other users, which are private to them.

2. Send tweets from your cell phone, perfect for the busy twitterer!

3. Perform tweet searches so that you can find Twitter users that post about things you like.

Twitter is simply massive at the moment, and looks set to continue to be. The potential for a business owner is unbelievable, which is why so much Twitter automation software has been created.

How To Make Money With Twitter

Submitted by: Maria Wixman

Twitter can be fun and it can be profitable but it can also eat up a ton of your time. Put your Twitter marketing on steroids and watch your websites grow.

Twitter has become an amazingly popular form of social interaction and everyone, from politicians to professional athletes to movie stars to Bob’s corner deli is sharing their thoughts and promoting their ideas on this little bird buzz app. Obviously with this huge an audience there is an opportunity to promote your websites but if you do it manually it will take you all day every day to make it work worth while.

Enter a crop of automated Twitter software platforms whose only objectives are to get followers and follow relevant tweeters and do it with a minimum of effort. Countering those programs is the Twitter spam filter that identifies unhuman like activity and shuts down and bans the automated tweet users.

How to duck the Twitter radar

In February 2010 the first beta version of TweetAttacks appeared in the Warrior forum and was offered up free to some Twitter marketing veterans for evaluation. Initial response to the software was favorable and over the next two months even more features were added making this tool one of the finest automated Twitter marketing devices available.

And here’s the secret to the whole Magilla…it does not use the Twitter API.

Yes Twitter is not crazy about bots and will shut down accounts where they suspect they reside but it can only do that if the bots are using the API. TweetAttacks is web based and therefore avoids the little bird’s spam radar making it far safer to use for your websites.

Avoiding the bots

The second huge advantage of this software is its ability to filter out followers or users you want to follow that are likely bots or spammers. TweetAttacks will only allow users who have their photo and avoids tweeters that only tweet links. If f you think about it, no matter how sophisticated the rest of the system is, if your websites are not dealing with real human beings then all your efforts are for naught.

This single feature lends a lot of credibility to the designer’s claims about huge increases in CTRs and real traffic.

The Features

There simply are too many features to this platform to go into all of them in this quick review. However, listed below are some of the most effective and time saving functions that make this software different from others.

• For starters it is easy to use. The GUI is very intuitive and the PDF instructions are easy to comprehend and follow. If you have even half an idea of how Twitter works you’ll have no problem setting up and using this program.

• TweetAttacks uses keyword phrases to automatically follow users with who match an interest in those phrases.

• The system can follow the followers list of followers as well expanding the potential for targeted people following you back.

• Auto unfollow users who have not followed you back during a specified time frame.

• Do all of these actions in a random, natural looking way so as to not alert any moderators or raise spam issues.

• Generate thousands of tweets by scraping content off of your blog or websites.

• Import and assign proxy accounts to multiple Twitter accounts.

• The system comes with a spinner so you can generate thousands of response tweets automatically.

• Identifies super targeted tweets and automatically retweets.

• Easy to use campaign management tools that give you real information that will allow you to measure what works and what doesn’t.

The three features that make this platform a tool that you really want to consider having is the ability to identify real human beings who are Tweeting, the targeting of specific niches, the automation of both the tweet itself and the content of the tweet and of course doing it all without appearing to be an automated system.

Truthfully you have to dig really deep in some of the forums to find unbiased opinions about this product. If you simply Google TweetAttacks you’ll wind up with page after page of the typical “reviews” by affiliates who want to sell it to you. If there is anything to be concerned about it may be the lack of solid third party reviews.

That said, this software is priced reasonably and from what can be found, works as advertised. This could be the tool that really turns your websites into hyper traffic web pages. Buyer beware but then again, nothing ventured nothing gained.
