Dunbar Circle “Put differently, people who are members of online social networks are not so much networking as they arebroadcasting their lives to an outer tier of acquaintances who aren’t necessarily inside the Dunbar circle. Humans may be advertising themselves more efficiently. But they still have the same small circles of intimacy as ever."
25. Email to Post Administrator / Algorithm Email to Post allows any email content that is delivered to a specific email address to be turned into a post that can be moderated and published. This is ideal for organizations that want to make content creation dead simple for their users/authors.
Email to Post makes content creation and participation in a blogging strategy dead simple. Any user can forward or send an email to a specific email address. The content in the email will turn into the body of the post and any attached images will be imbedded into the post as well. The user can determine whether their Email to Post content waits as a “draft” in their user account or goes directly to the Administrative layer for moderation and publishing. Do you have an employee or constituent that is scared of a new technology? Do you have customer support representatives that receive and answer customer questions via email? Do you receive wonderful testimonials or feedback from customers through a general email account? If so, Email to Post is an ideal solution that allows an organization to leverage this content as a important part of their online marketing strategy.
Just Search Traffic
Sears outlet has built Compendium directly into their in-store system. The store managers have goals related to the number of stories produced a week. All they have to do is log into the system they log into anyway. See that blog button? When they push that…..
They land on this form. The fields are already filled out with the product information and an image of the product. The store person can upload their own picture…for example a picture of the happy customer. They tell a simple story and boom…that content gets published to the locally target store pages.
In every sale where they can collect an email address the follow up with a series of emails asking for content. They test the heck out of this and have a really high response rate. When a customer story goes live they push the second email with the facebook button. This encourages the customer who just wrote the story to push it to THEIR facebook. Which they do in droves. Facebook is now a significant source for local store traffic.
