  68. Questions ? Questions?

Editor's Notes

  1. http://jointhehunt.co Tickets are €149 or 1.112 DKK
  2. I want to help. I do this because I actually dig this shit. Ask questions. It’s okay to interrupt unless you become “that guy.” No such thing as a stupid question – except the one you ask 5 times
  3. Raise of hands if you’re: Still in school? Currently working in marketing? Entrepenuers? Trying to find out if you want to go into marketing?
  4. Branding + strategy hate this phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hacking
  5. Branding + strategy hate this phrase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_hacking
  6. When you understand one part, it helps you to understand others Marketing is understanding systems
  7. Discovery is easier Boosts awareness of your business -> number of customers Legitimizes your business and your expertise Adds new channels for your business to pull in customers Conveys the right info to those that might purchase in the future 100+ Types of content: http://www.convinceandconvert.com/content-marketing/content-to-fill-calendar/ https://coschedule.com/blog/types-of-content/
  8. Why behind the why? – What’s the point? Discovery Awareness Legitimizes your business and your expertise Benefits of good content: Referral Traffic Backlinks + Linking domains Keywords+ Higher DR rating = more likely to show up in SERP Social Media and Reach Branding GOAL is to drive sales/leads
  9. Social Currency: We share stuff to sound cool and smart Triggers: Things that give us a kneejerk reaction + stuff that’s relevant to us + stuff that we think about often and might realize it Emotion: Sad / happy (motivational) – this shit sells Public: Something we all share and know – think Copenhagen + biking Practical value: Something you can use Stories: Narratives The best content: -Amuses / Entertains -Teaches / Educates -Answers questions / Solves a problem -Gets a reaction -VALUE Here’s an example of what most startups do. This doesn’t work: One more thing on this topic: we constantly see startups struggle with the question of whether they should post “internal startup stuff” or “content for the audience.” In our case: “Should we post a photo of the last pitch event that we presented at to keep our audience “up-to-date”?” - The answer is: “No, our audience doesn’t care. They are all travelers: all they want to see is travel hacks and inspiring quotes. They aren’t entrepreneurs.” Post that photo from your pitch event on your personal profile, not on your startup page.
  10. Content must appeal most to our buyer personas: Ask yourself + potential customers: Who will buy your product or service? What are their pain points? What are the most common questions you get? What are the industry secrets? What do people in your own industry struggle with understanding? What other topics do people in your industry find interesting?
  11. You will not find every customer at the spark moment: Spark: “I need to find XXXX software” -Diverse content -Hitting different perspectives -Providing Value Blog articles should not be entirely be top of funnel: -Case Studies + Interviews -Buyer Guides -Future Predictions -Templates What is inbound Marketing? https://www.struto.co.uk/what-is-inbound-marketing
  12. 8-20 exposures to your product before purchase: https://onlinemlmcommunity.com/how-many-exposures-do-most-prospects-need-before-they-buy-from-you/ https://successfulsoftware.net/2010/06/03/do-customers-need-to-see-an-advertisement-seven-times/ You will not find every customer at the spark moment: Spark: “I need to find internal communication software” -Diverse content -Hitting different perspectives -Providing Value What is inbound Marketing? https://www.struto.co.uk/what-is-inbound-marketing

  24. If everyone starts eating the same type of sample, more samples get put out. Timing effects this: If even more are taken in a short time, MORE samples get put out. Early engagement is huge Comments + Read more comments + Shares = biggest winners Likes and clicks are good, just not as good.

  25. Are you engaging with the content more than just clicking like? Are you: Reading the article Commenting Clicking “see more” on the comments Liking / sharing / etc Values/Weights constantly changing on different media, tags, etc
  26. Video is huge right now – natively uploaded Links are meh- due to time on site. SoMe + Serp are indirectly linked. There is a correlation: https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-seo-experiment/ -Especially true for referring domains from building SoMe (exposure) Algorythms are constantly changing FB:  January 11th, 2018 https://blog.hootsuite.com/facebook-algorithm/ Linkedin: First 3 months of 2018 https://blog.hootsuite.com/how-the-linkedin-algorithm-works-hacks/ SoMe + Serp are indirectly linked. There is a correlation: https://blog.hootsuite.com/social-media-seo-experiment/ -Especially true for referring domains from building SoMe (exposure)
  27. https://revive.social/facebook-engagement-bait/ Vote Baiting / React Baiting Use an emoticon to choose something that is totally unrelated to the emotion of the icon (Career goals - Smiley = CEO, Laughing = 7 figure income, etc) Encourages people to use reactions inappropriately.  (Like if you’re an aries and are emotional) Share Baiting: Share with 10 friends and get entered to win a car! Tag Baiting: Tag a friend who is/does/wants/says this Comment Baiting: Write “Let’s go” or “give me the guide” to get my free ebook
  28. https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasia-morozova/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/anastasia-morozova/detail/recent-activity/ Trends come and go because people exploit the fack
  29. 270 million members worldwide – considerably smaller (more accurate career data + targeting) 2.23 billion monthly active users.
  30. Average Post Length: A lot of places say 25 words… I don’t agree. I think you vary it. 1,300 status update limit Before “read more” appears – 400 characters 1.8M groups… not engaging… yet Only allowed to join 50
  31. My article about broety: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/truth-linkedin-posts-why-look-so-weird-now-blow-your-mind-ryan/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_post_details%3BW4yMnPCtT6aGxAW4iV%2BIJQ%3D%3D Articles: Articles can give a short summary and then you can link to the real article to get additional engagement. Groups: Tougher to engage with people in groups… still not up to snuff Mobile friendly 50% of LinkedIn users check their accounts through mobile devices, implying you have as much of a chance of reaching people after hours as you do during the workday.
  32. Timing is everything Audiences vary by jobs, age limit, etc Provide Value + Narratives work + insights/lists Every audience is different Pre-work, lunch, and after work Timing for C-Level people C-level folks are on later after work 8:00 at night https://www.oberlo.com/blog/best-time-post-social-media
  33. Video works / links don’t Tagging works: Using someone’s tool – tag sharing insights from a post - tag Use hashtags: 1-3 Industry, job title, and types of projects work well No limit, don’t over-do it Get inspired: https://hashtagify.me + https://tagdef.com/en/ By using hashtags in your post, you’re ensuring that your content will be discovered organically and by those following and searching for the hashtags you’re using. LinkedIn encourages this by generating recommendations. You can either use one of the hashtag suggestions or type in your preferred hashtags. Emojis increase engagement: Add emotion Makes your business seem friendlier Emojis can increase twitter engagement by 25.4%, Facebook likes by 57%, The number of comments by 33%.
