This week I had the most intriguing question, asked by a movie producer from Hollywood. He said, “I want millions of people following me on Twitter, but I don’t want to follow anyone.” I asked, “Why don’t you want to follow anyone back?” He replied, “Isn’t that what celebrities do?”
Real Strategies to Organically Growing your Social Audience Real-Time OutSource
Two types of strategies will lead to authentically growing your social networks without having to pay a dollar on social advertising.
However I also believe in the power of social ads, so after you get your cross promotions and content down, then I would suggest testing social advertising to help take it to the next level with a little paid advertising to help each piece of content resonate with your target audience.
Yesterday I had a remarkable meeting with a Fortune 1,000 top-level marketing director. We discussed digital and social media.
He said candidly, “Go to our social media page and tell me the first problem that you see.”
The moment I went to the page, I was blown away with the amount of engagement their posts were getting, and the content was exciting! However, after scrolling through three to five posts I noticed a trend. They didn’t respond to a one single comment.
I asked, “What is up with the engagement?” He says to me, “Are you on the right page… we get thousands of comments to our posts daily.” Then I boldly replied, why don’t you comment back? He said, “Are you serious? We don’t have the time to do that!”
I started to laugh, and I asked him what do you think social is all about?
It’s a two-way conversation!
In the past week, I’ve heard this question multiple times “What do I post on my pages?” so I thought I would share my insights on what’s worked for me & my clients.
I truly believe that social networking is an art form. There’s really no way of saying what makes the perfect post because like artwork, everyone has a different perception! Too often I see marketers turn their social media accounts into the traditional “old-school” advertising channel, using messages that are completely over thought and not engaging with their customers and/or social media fans & followers!
The hot topic in sales and marketing is a term called Social Selling; this is a process that is created using the power of social networking. I truly believe that the sales process has completely changed.
If you’re in a sales position, gone are the days of cold calls if you’re able to harness the power of selling via social.
In the past week, I’ve been ask multiple times ...“How do I convert sales from social?”. This question is at the heart of all social marketers - while I truly do believe that there's a lot more to social networking than driving sales, the bottom line is that without sales your business would go broke. Converting fans into customers is not something that's going to happen overnight, it’s a long process of providing value with amazing content, being a part of the community, and helping others. Here are a few elements to consider when seeking to convert your social communities into paying customers.
This week I had the pleasure to interview one of the top 50 social marketing and content marketing influencers in the world!
We had a lively conversation about marketing and how it’s been completely resurrected with social, and how it’s still just the beginning!
One of the most passionate and interesting moments happened when we were talking about an epic moment in time where social marketing truly changed their lives!
We started to talk about the power of content, and how it can lead to creating the influence we’ve always dreamed about, and aspired to attain.
Go to a Facebook Page, Twitter, Yelp page you think needs help being managed!
I would stick to things your passionate about but our biggest clients are Auto Dealers... and then from there we can help anybody and everybody as you know!
This past week, I had a prominent CEO from an up and coming startup reach out to me via LinkedIn message. After a few conversations back and forth I was really able to understand what his business was trying to solve and I genuinely felt personally connected to him. I was thinking to myself, “there is no other social network that connects me to like-minded CEO’s, Entrepreneurs, Social Marketers, and potential clients like LinkedIn.” Unlike other platforms for business that struggle to connect, messages can be blocked by privacy settings, tweets go unanswered because they look like spam, and emails are full of non-personal marketing that doesn’t relate.

Brands and consumers alike love collecting Facebook Likes on their posts, shares, and Pages. Sometimes, though, clicking the Like button is as awkward as leaving your friend’s high five lingering in mid-air. Fortunately, The Social Network recently rolled out Reactions, five new emoticons that give people a wider range of ways to communicate their post responses in a single click. The new Reactions have been a big hit with users, and here’s why brands should love them too.

In the past week, I’ve felt the power of the influence shifting in the social business marketplace. It seems that most brands have figured out that it’s more authentic, genuine, and real to partner with an influencer than to run more social media advertising. I’ve literally had 4 different brands reach out to partner on Twitter & Instagram with content, and they want me to feel rewarded for sharing their awesome content. It’s a new strategy to really deliver to the social media audiences based on the niche of the influencer. Also a term you might start to hear more is “micro-celebrity”, these are folks that have a following that is smaller than 100K on any platform. We all want to partner with Taylor Swift but to keep it real, not many brands can afford the endorsement with such a superstar. So the alternative is to work with 5-10 micro-celebrities that are all focused in a niche that serve your CUSTOMERS!
Once upon a time social media was just for people who wanted to catch up with college chums or trade pictures of their lunch. Now it’s a treasure trove of opportunity for brands who want to connect and engage with customers. Today 77 percent of Fortune 500 companies manage at least one Twitter account and 70 percent are on Facebook. A whopping 93 percent of marketers turn to social media to enhance their marketing strategies.
3 Simple Steps to Educating your Clients about Real-time Real-Time OutSource
In 2014, the Advertising world has been completely disrupted with Real-time Marketing vehicles (Blog Writing, Email Marketing, Social Media, Responsive Websites, and Social Advertising). I’m sure that you’ve all have seen the changes with your marketing efforts for your clients, but no matter what you can still help manage it for them. The future is less paid media, and more viral shared media.
Whether it’s movies, amusement parks, or cruise ship itineraries, everything Disney touches seems to turn to gold and their social media strategies are no different. To connect with audiences around the world, Disney manages over 1,000 social media accounts. How do they do it? A whole lot of work and a little bit of magic.
Show of hands, how many people remember when getting hired was all about putting your best foot forward during a face-to-face interview and hoping they liked you? Or when an interview was the first opportunity you had to make a good impression? These days, when the hiring manager says, “tell me about yourself” she probably already knows more about you than you think.
Social media and the employer
Today many organizations check out an applicant’s social media profiles before they even extend the first interview offer. Reading over a candidate’s Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook feed gives the human resources department insight into the behavior of potential employees to see if they’re a good initial fit.
What you post on your social media accounts can tell them everything from what your political views are to whether you keep your cool over life’s little frustrations. For instance, if you boast about getting mouthy with a barista who messed up your coffee order, you’re probably not a good match for that customer service job you’ve got your eye on.
It may seem unfair that companies sometimes pass over otherwise qualified candidates because of the content of their Vine account, but many managers are glad for the chance to spot potential problem employees before they’re brought on board.
Employment Lawyer Lisa Geurin says the practice is perfectly legal, however it does have it’s limitations. For instance, “an employer who looks at an applicant’s Facebook page or other social media posts could well learn information that it isn’t entitled to have – or to consider during the hiring process,” explains Geurin. “This can lead to discrimination claims. For example, your posts or page might reveal your ethnicity, disclose that you are pregnant, or espouse your political or religious views. This type of information is off limits in the hiring process, and an employer who discovers it online and uses it as a basis for hiring decisions could face a discrimination lawsuit.”
Applicant dos and don’ts
It’s possible to use and maintain social media accounts during your job search as long as you keep a few things in mind.
Don’t give a potential employer your passwords. Some companies may ask you to provide passwords to your social networking accounts during the application process but you are under no obligation to comply. It’s a needless invasion of your privacy and, in fact, dozens of states are in the process of legislating bans against the practice.
Don’t lie about having social media accounts. This one is kind of a no-brainer but important to remember. Even if your accounts aren’t under the name on your job application, there’s still a chance your profiles will be discovered. Hiring managers don’t simply Google your given name, they’ll check to see what services are associated with your email address or even track their way back through peers or colleagues to see if they can find you.
Create and share original content: Behind the scenes photos, product photos, and thoughtful or inspirational images are all excellent ideas paired with interesting messages or conversation-starters
Social media use is growing by leaps and bounds every day and popular networks like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter are among some of the most crowded corners of the internet. Let’s look at some stats:
● Social media spam rose 355 percent in the first half of 2013
● Between 5 and 11 percent of Facebook accounts are fake
● Twitter adds 11 new accounts per second every day
● YouTube users upload 48 hours of new video of every minute of each day
With so much happening so quickly on social media networks, is it even possible for brands to stand out and get noticed? Yes! And it’s easier than you think with these four proven tips:
Are you a small advertising agency managing your clients' social media?
Are you having trouble gaining the response that you're looking for?
We've helped our agency clients understand how to more effectively use social media, and we want to spread the knowledge.
Here are a few tips.
Social media has been around long enough and has a good enough track record as a great way to engage customers that no one really doubts its potential as a marketing medium.
As social engagement matures, one of the key questions now is how to offer content that people love and want to share with others.
There are many advertising, marketing, and public relations basics - but none more important than understanding the personality of the brand, company, or cause you are representing. Social networking allows brands the opportunity to interact with their consumers, but social media is just that - an opportunity.
Ultimately it's up to the brand itself to decided how they want to represent themselves, and how they're going to do so. So what is the personality of your brand? Serious? Sarcastic? Witty? Informative? Whatever you are, make sure you show it through all of your interactions.
In an ideal world, every marketing department has an unlimited budget and endless time to spend on social media but that’s not really a reality for most businesses.
Outsourcing sometimes gets a bad rap but it’s often the best strategy for businesses who want the most bang for their limited marketing buck. We’ll get to what to look for in an outsourcing arrangement in a minute, but first let’s talk about what outsourcing is not.
If you want to use someone outside the company to manage your social media, make sure you don’t:
• Put your accounts in the hands of someone in a drastically different time zone than your target demographic. You want to rapid responses to questions or comments from your fans and followers; an hour or two at most during standard business hours. That’s unlikely to happen if your social media managers are snoozing in Australia as you start your workday in Seattle.
This past week, I had a prominent CEO from an up and coming startup reach out to me via LinkedIn message. After a few conversations back and forth I was really able to understand what his business was trying to solve and I genuinely felt personally connected to him. I was thinking to myself, “there is no other social network that connects me to like-minded CEO’s, Entrepreneurs, Social Marketers, and potential clients like LinkedIn.” Unlike other platforms for business that struggle to connect, messages can be blocked by privacy settings, tweets go unanswered because they look like spam, and emails are full of non-personal marketing that doesn’t relate.
Facebook is all about the sharing: pictures of your puppy, memories of your wedding, invitations to parties and stories of your summer. Brands want to get in on the action too, but ever since The Social Network began cracking down on companies asking followers to share their content, it’s become increasingly difficult to capture the analytics that drive marketing decisions.
Fortunately, the sharing experience is still alive and well between brands and their Facebook followers. It’s all about creating content that makes your fans want to show it to others organically, i.e. without you expressly suggesting it.
Starbucks is known for lots of things: great coffee, friendly baristas, and a near-complete takeover of practically every street corner in America. Did you know it’s also known for it’s killer social media strategy? It’s true! Take a look at some of these stats:
Influencer marketing has proven to be extremely effective in modern-day marketing strategies. The use of an influencer can grant your business/brand a larger audience, as well as connect you with your target consumer.
However, influencer marketing strategies still need to be executed effectively, or campaigns can result in the opposite of the desired outcome. Here are some tips to keep your influencer marketing strategy on track to maximize success
Develop your own small business social media strategy tailored to your brand, your customers, and your staff. Follow the 6 steps to define your plan, assign responsibility, get started, and follow through.
Influencer marketing is an important part of any modern marketing campaign, and Instagram is one of the best places to implement this strategy.
Instagram's strong suit is its ability to showcase beautiful images and videos. Through influencer marketing, you can craft a strong message to the followers of a specific person with a big following on the social network. Finding the right people on Instagram isn't easy, though, and it's one of the most important parts of influencer marketing.
Here are a few tips that will help you identify good Instagram influencers to work with.
I had a potential client reach out to me this week, and ask me what we can do to provide more viral content for our Facebook & Twitter pages.
I asked for the sites to review for myself, and upon getting to the page I see this brand has a massive following of over 5 million, and they post 2-3x per day.
However, after examining the comments and wall posts, I discovered that this brand has not engaged with one fan or follower in the past 30 posts!

I gave this presentation August 2012 at the Social Media Intelligence Summit in San Francisco. This presentation does not lay out your B2C social media strategy for you. Instead, it takes a bigger look at why you are using social media in the first place, and how it is serving your business goals. This presentation originally contained no written words. I added in the spoken portion as text so that it makes sense online.
This week I was talking to a rotary club about the value of customer loyalty. Most business folks look at social networking as a marketing and advertising vehicle to reach their customers. This is true. However social business is everything from PR, HR, customer service, community relations, and much more!

Three Common Social Media Marketing Mistakes (and how to avoid them)Real-Time OutSource
Social media is everything today. We live in a world where almost everyone has at least one or two social media profiles. Many businesses have their own profiles too!
However, social media marketing is more than just starting a page for your business and posting here and there. In fact, many small business owners make mistakes when using social media to market their business.
Here are some of the most common ones that are made.
When it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO), it’s commonly believed that social media signals don’t directly impact where your website ranks in the search engines.
So why bother?
Well, social media may not have a direct impact on your SEO, but it still plays a momentous role in getting your content in front of a bigger audience. This means that investing time and money in social media can produce something of a multiplier effect.
Think about it this way: you create a great piece of content on social media, such as an original infographic, that attracts some pickup from other users. From here, people are more likely to publicize the data, which may in turn generate more clicks through to your site, which may ultimately lead to site visitors becoming shoppers and entrusting you with their money.
How to win buyers and influence sales with 5 different types of google adsReal-Time OutSource
In this post we will talking about the different kinds of ads you can run online, and it will allow you to get an idea of what kind of ads will be best for your business. There are different social media sites you can run your ads on such as Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, among others. You can also run your ads all across the internet with the help of Google Ads.
When most people think about Snapchat, they think about millennials documenting their every move. There is an impressive number of snaps sent every day (several million in fact) so it is quickly growing in popularity. Because of this, many businesses are starting to look for ways to grab the attention of all of the millions of users on this social media site.
It can be tricky to incorporate Snapchat into your marketing campaign so here are some tips to help you get started.
How to Utilize Storytelling most Efficiently in Social Media Real-Time OutSource
When thinking about the ways to develop your customers trust within your business. We as business owners, or those who aspire to own and create a business, must make our company relatable, we must show that we understand their pains, wants, and needs. We must be warm, accepting and kind.
Our companies must reflect the qualities of that of a dear friend, or relative, someone that the consumer can feel comfortable around. We must make our customers see and feel our vision. We owe it to our consumers to inspire them, humor them, inform them, and comfort them. If you are interested in learning how to accomplish this lofty feat, then you have come to the right place my friends.
84% of millennials don't like advertising and it's easy to see why.
No one likes to be bombarded with videos, banners ads, and promotional pop-ups solely set on selling something. It's invasive and quickly drives visitors away.
What's a solution? According to research, consumers trust each other more than a brand. Hearing from a trusted source about a product or service is more valued than a statement from a company. Knowing firsthand what someone else's experience was like saves time, money, and effort.
That's why you need to take a closer look at influencer marketing. Working with someone who has a dedicated following will allow your business to grow the right way, without the need for intrusive advertising.
It is when an influencer, a person on a social media platform with a high number of followers, creates content recommending or reviewing your product. It is already a booming business, with ad spending estimated to reach between $5 and $10 billion by 2022, yet there are businesses, particularly smaller companies that still seem hesitant to enter the new field.
3 Questions to Ask Yourself when Working with an Influencer Real-Time OutSource
Given the reach of the internet, many people who previously didn't have an audience have now found one. There are well-known bloggers, people who post on social media and those who create YouTube videos, to name just a few. In the marketing field, these people are referred to as influencers.
The Sales Funnel seems almost created for Digital Strategies Real-Time OutSource
A tried and true conceptual framework for marketing, the "sales funnel" or "purchase funnel," has enjoyed a kind of renaissance. Not surprising. Although articulated more than a century ago, the "sales funnel" feels as though it were invented to illuminate e-commerce.
The online store potentially exercises control over the "buyer's journey"—another reborn concept—that no brick-and-mortar store ever achieved. The "funnel," of course, is a metaphor for the guided steps ("journey") by which a potential buyer becomes aware of a product or service, becomes attentive to it, appreciates its value, seeks out additional information, chooses a place that sells it, and buys it.

Learning to Level the Social Media Playing Field
Are you an entrepreneur or small business owner diligently working social media to increase your sales but still aren't reaching the numbers you'd like?

Advertising on social media is a powerful, proven method to boost sales, connect with clients, and increase brand awareness. It is an absolute must requiring hands-on experience and extraordinary communication skills.
Scientific studies demonstrate the strength behind an effective social media advertising campaign by tallying the topics and the total number of 'shares' each one has earned. It also shows a reduction in concentration among users.
Social Media News is me we poised to be the next big arenaReal-Time OutSource
There has been a lot of upheaval in the world of social media over the past handful of months. First Google Plus announced they were officially ending support for the platform, then Tumblr tried to one-up them by saying they were going to crack down on explicit content. Facebook is, as always, mired in controversy over mining user data, and allowing toxic groups to flourish on their platform.
With all of this going on, lots of people are looking for other ways to get their social media fix. And one website that's drawn a lot of folks is the relative newcomer MeWe.
Powerful Digital Strategies for Conquering Top Consumer Seasons Real-Time OutSource
Never underestimate the power of the seasons; their impact on society and the significant role they play in our lives. The world looks forward to certain celebratory seasons and occasions because of their emotional and educational value. Seasonal marketing campaigns can be the most influential contributor to a brand's success, inspiring customers to return multiple times throughout the year due to a positive 'first contact' experience. Seasonal campaigns matter because they're relevant to the times we're living in now. Everything we know and do is subject to being shared; from minute-to-minute restaurant experiences to hashtags that can boost sales with a single word. Then there are the Instagram stories that carry with them the short yet powerful punch that can increase your bottom line simply by being in the right place at the right time.
Seasonal marketing campaigns remind us that "timing is still everything."

This week I had the most intriguing question, asked by a
movie producer from Hollywood. He said, “I want millions
of people following me on Twitter, but I don’t want to follow
anyone.” I asked, “Why don’t you want to follow anyone
back?” He replied, “Isn’t that what celebrities do?”
While I laughed at the suggestion, he's somewhat right,
most celebrities on Twitter definitely have millions of
followers but don't take the time to follow even their top
influencers. I sincerely believe that is a huge mistake - too
often brands and celebrities feel that they’re too valuable to
follow their true customers back, and I think this is due to
not having enough support on their social networking.
3. +
I truly believe that social networking is all about personal,
one-on-one communication. I know most businesses and
brands aren't spending enough time building up the
value and loyalty with their followers or customers. In the
next ten years, I believe more brands will take social
media seriously and think beyond just posting content
that gets comments and likes. It's what you do with that
engagement that truly matters.
4. +
One tip that I feel every brand should do is “BE REAL.” I
say this as I feel most social content is being edited and
re-edited and turned into corporate-speak. Instead, put
yourself in the shoes of the brand and your products, talk
as if your product or service is talking, instead of your
corporate management.
5. +
Taking this approach, you'll see engagement and
perspective from your fans will move beyond your
expectations. Take the time, starting one day a week, to
have fun with your content on social media and talk from
the brand's point of view.
I believe this one strategy can truly change your social
networking FOREVER.
