How Social Media Affects Search Marketing

In a very eye-opening article recently posted on the site SEOMoz brought to light the fact that Google search results are now being directly impacted by the social connections of the person doing the searching. As the author of the piece astutely posints out, “This should be giving everyone in search marketing a huge “ah ha” moment.”

Social Media Marketing Apprenticeship Opportunity

This is an amazing opportunity:

New Digital Media, Inc. is the company I founded following the successful launch of Manifest Mastermind on January 7, 2009.  The launch was achieved using social media marketing to build a list and develop relationships.  This business was developed with only social media marketing tools and primarily Facebook and in the final months before launch Twitter was also used.

I knew the work that was required to build a social media marketing funnel since I did that work. I also knew there was an opportunity for creating a “do it for you business” and that was the idea behind New Digital Media, Inc.

My point in telling you this background is to establish I am experienced and successful using social media to build business profits. That is important if you are considering who is going to teach you and especially important to you since compensation  will be based on the revenue your work generates.  The right person will soon see that this compensation arrangement is very lucrative.

The Right Person

1. Coachable

2. Loyal

3. High Energy

4. Professional in person, on the phone and on line

5. Creative

6. Must have active accounts on Facebook, Twitter….active accounts on Linkedin and YouTube a bonus. Having an active blog is a major plus.

7. Understands and appreciates the importance of developing clients by adding value to their business.

8. Fun to work with

9. Location – U.S. Tampa Bay given preference

10. I will bring on as many people  as I feel comfortable training.

11. Major bonus for you …you will be able to use all you learn and develop your own business. We only agree you will not compete with me. In fact I will help you develop your own business as I am an international consultant and coach to companies and business owners.

Next Steps

Email me a letter or resume as to why you want this opportunity. Include links to your social media accounts, website or blog if you have them and any other information that you  feel would help me appreciate your value. Time is of the essence and I want to have an expanded team in place early 2011.

Thank you and for considering this opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you.

Landing Page Robot Is Way More Than A Landing Page Tool

If Facebook Were A Country….Social Media Revolution Updated

Did you know that if Facebook was a country, it would now be the third largest country in the world?

50% of mobile Internet traffic in the UK is on Facebook.

ge

Statistics can be interesting and these are. However, most everyone know the growth in social media is huge.  Here are several ways I use Social Media

1. Research: finding answers to questions using Google and YouTube is very valuable for me.

2. Developing “like minded” relationships. I have developed themed groups on Facebook and I know the people who have joined those groups are interested in the information I share.

3. Expanding the development of business using informative articles posted to blogs and inviting people to those articles on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn.

Those are the Top 3 for me.  What about you?

The 15 Worst Reasons to Use Social Media For Your Business

by Eric Fulwiler

I am a heavy supporter of social media as a valuable business tool, but only when it is used for the right reasons, and in the right way. Sometimes it’s easy to convince yourself that your reason for using social media for your business is right when it’s actually wrong. So, here it is, in black and white, the 15 worst reasons to use social media for business.

15. Because it’s free to sign up

14. Because you like the idea of going viral

13. Because you heard the buzz about the South by Southwest conference

12. Because you have friends who are successful bloggers

11. Because you can automate many social network feeds

10. Because the 400 million people on Facebook are a new population to advertise to

9. Because other companies have made millions of dollars on Twitter

8. Because the other companies who have used social media have received positive PR

7. Because you read that people trust social network contacts

6. Because you think it’s all return and no investment

5. Because you read a case study in which another business used social media successfully

The Benefits of Social Media: A Presentation

This is very well done and worth the time to review.

Google Wave: Best Use Examples

If you follow the keyword Google on Twitter, you  will notice an ongoing buzz about Google Wave.  This is the social networking application in beta from Google.

There are people who are testing this now and several sites that say they have complimentary invites to distribute are using name capture squeeze pages to entice you. We see no compelling reason to be overly interested in this pre-launch.  However, we have been tracking ideas on how Wave might be used.

This article has some very good ideas for applying the features of Google Wave  submitted by people in a variety of   jobs.  If you have been wondering what the Google Wave buzz is about or just curious how others are thinking about using this application, click here for this article.

Email Contacts Should Be A Primary Product of Building A Social Media Network

If you are on line for business and you are building a social network for business, you are nuts if you are not including a contact capture form on every page you are intending for people to visit.

The reason that is important is to go to the next step in strengthening the relationship you are developing on social sites, you want to be able to deliver valuable content to the email boxes of those who are interested in your material. You spark interest in your material using your social media network, then you provide more value in the sequential delivery of information typically by email. Even on places like Facebook where you can message members of a group, use techniques to invite those members to a report or article where you have a chance of having them offer you their contact information. That list is a major asset in any business.

There are some techniques you need to know in order to implement lead capture properly and cultivate your list. Most of those involve knowing how to set up your lead capture page and then developing an autoresponder sequence that converts your list to buyers.

Even if your social network is well developed, all businesses need traffic.  Most marketers are under the impression that they MUST get their website ranked high in Google to get lots of traffic. But it’s just not so! Not that getting high search engine listings is a bad thing, but  imagine if you could get hundreds, or even thousands, of visitors to your website DAILY… and Google had nothing to do with it?

Here is a system you can copy  that produced 2,000 visitors, 600+ leads and $314.00 in one day… without ANY help from Google! You may NEVER have to worry about SEO, backlinks or PPC again: http://bit.ly/1iCONk And the BEST part? It’s running as a Wacky Weekend DIMESALE! The price is going up constantly but if you hurry you can grab it for … well, you don’t believe me if I tell you, so just head over and see for yourself: http://bit.ly/1iCONk
