How to Do Social Media Marketing: Bloggers, Social Networks, Metrics, and MoreGerris
Hear Sally Falkow of Expansion Plus and Chris Abraham of Abraham Harrison talk about the best practices in social media marketing.
Not only is social media marketing the hottest thing in marketing, it may well also be the most effective marketing tool available to anyone doing any form of outreach.The meteoric rise of twitter and the slower but just as large groundswell of blogging have combined to shake communications of all kinds to the core.
But social media marketing isn't monolithic and it covers a lot of ground. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. But there are best practices, there are tools and tricks and techniques to achieve greater success.
Introduction: What is Social Selling?
There has been a paradigm shift in the way selling is done today compared to just a few short years ago. Some of us might remember back in 1993 when America Online (AOL) sent discs in the mail to get people on the internet. They ended up sending 660 million discs and spending over $300 million to get to a peak of about 30 million users in 2002. In 2005, the nation’s newspapers had peak ad revenues of $49.435 billion. By 2012, total newspaper ad revenues plummeted to $22.314, a drop of 55%. In July of 2013, the New York Times announced it was selling the Boston Globe for $70 million, after buying it in 1993 for $1.1 billion. Direct mail and print advertising used to be the most effective way to reach potential customers. Today, these businesses are on life support.
Two small companies were founded between the peak of AOL in 2002 and the peak of newspaper ad revenue in 2005. Those companies, LinkedIn and Facebook, spawned a new way of networking and selling. The former was founded in May 2003 and is the king of business social networking, with 332 million members. The latter was founded in February 2004 and is the de facto standard in social networking, with 1.35 billion members today. A third game-changing company was founded in March 2006 and currently gives over 284 million users the ability to send out 140 characters. The Big 3 in social networking and selling are LinkedIn (May 2003), Facebook (February 2004) and Twitter (March 2006).
These social networking and selling mediums are not going anywhere and new sites pop up all the time. 15 of the top social networking sites are Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, WordPress, Pinterest, Google+, Tumblr., Instagram, Flickr, MySpace, Tagged, Meetup, Ask.fm and MeetMe.
Social Selling Overview
Social selling is a technique whereby products and services are sold via social networks. Social selling is more than just using tools like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Social selling is about salespeople, marketers, business owners and entrepreneurs using written and visual content to build a strong, personal brand and business community. These sites give you the potential to find business advocates that can spread the message of your content, products and services to others across the social web.
What the Analysts Are Saying about Social Selling
The use of social media for sales is finally making a dent on the internet, according to Gartner Analyst Patrick Stackenas. He mentioned that some vendors use Big Data to rapidly sort through large quantities of social data internally, and externally, to help you find optimal buyers. B2B tech buyers “find nearly 70% of the content they need on their own, with only 15% sent by marketing and only 15% sent by sales,” according to Forrester Research. These prospects go to search engines and social networks first.
Successful social strategies for small businessJenn Gleckman
Earlier this month I was asked to present to the local chamber on social media, including strategy considerations along with 5 social sites. Covering all that content in an hour meant that this ended up as an overview presentation directed at small business owners.
Updated slides show 2012 research on social media network usage as a marketing tool among North American small to medium-sized business and industrial companies.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

8. Social Media Social media From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Social media is online content created by people using highly accessible and scalable publishing technologies. At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content. It's a fusion of sociology and technology, transforming monologues (one to many) into dialogues (many to many) and is the democratization of information, transforming people from content readers into publishers. Social media has become extremely popular because it allows people to connect in the online world to form relationships for personal, political and business use. Businesses also refer to social media as user-generated content (UGC) or consumer-generated media (CGM).

15. Social Media = Earned Media Authenticity reigns. Conversations cannot be bought. Conversation cannot be controlled, they can only be joined. Marketers have to be willing to listen and learn from the consumers they engage through social media. Start by listening! Don’t’ ignore the buzz, good or bad!
