I. Video marketing content for you! 
Are you looking for ways to enhance your social media marketing? 
Do you want new tools to simplify your job? 
We asked a group of social media pros for the hottest social media tools 
they use today. 
Check them out to see if these social media tools are a good fit for 
you! 
#1: Unlock to Share Plugin 
My favorite social marketing tool of all time is the unlock to 
share plugin. What is it? It’s a simple plugin that “unlocks” additional 
content when your web visitors share your stuff 
on Facebook, Twitter or Google+. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 1
Make your site go viral by requiring the user to share your link to unlock 
content. 
Why is this so valuable? Well, today everyone has a Like button on their 
site. But if you want your audience to share your stuff, you need to give 
them a little incentive! That’s exactly what this plugin does. 
In my most recent experiment, I had 452 people land on a page where 
they hadaccess to royalty-free music they could use in their videos. If 
you shared the post, I gave you an additional five music tracks. Out of 
those 452 visitors, 379 shared to unlock those five extra songs! That’s 
84%! 
These unlock to share plugins are everywhere. The one I used was found 
over onCodeCanyon.

Video Sales Magic and Video Copy Pro. 
#2: SlideShare 
This isn’t a “new” tool, but I’m amazed by the number of marketers who 
still don’t useSlideShare as a main staple in their social media 
distribution. According to the latest research from Content Marketing 
Institute and MarketingProfs, just 23% of B2B marketers and only 7% 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 2
of B2C marketers leverage SlideShare (which now sees approximately 
60 million users per month). 
SlideShare is a great tool to use as part of your company's storytelling 
process. 
We continue to integrate SlideShare into our visual storytelling, and it’s 
now a key part of our lead generation process. It’s a true sleeping giant. 
Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Content Marketing Institute and author of 
Managing Content Marketing and co-author of Get Content, Get 
Customers. 
#3: Commun.it 
I use Commun.it to help build and nurture relationships with supporters, 
influencers and potential customers on Twitter. 
The basic service, which is free, keeps track of your most valuable 
followers and interactions, rolling up the data into an action-driven 
dashboard. One glance and you’ll know whom to follow, whom to thank 
and to whom you need to respond—all of which you can do directly 
within the tool. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 3
Another big plus: You can quickly spot your most active conversation 
buddies. Commun.it tallies up the number of exchanges between you 
and other Tweeters, indicating whether or not you’re following each 
other. 
Commun.it rolls up your data into an action-driven dashboard. 
In addition to the dashboard, Commun.it has reporting functionality. I 
love the way it lists hard-to-find stats in one handy place, including new 
followers, the handles of who stopped following you, RTs of your 
content, direct messages and total reach. 
Commun.it also records this social activity for your Twitter handle, so 
you can keep tabs on your own contributions and connections in the 
Twitterverse. 
Shelly Lucas, senior marketing manager and leader of social media at 
Dun & Bradstreet. 
#4: YouTube’s Audience Retention Report 
You’ve probably read that YouTube search is now optimized for time 
watched. Effective YouTube marketing demands that we understand 
(and create better videos based on) how our videos are watched, at least 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 4
as much as we “optimize” them for SEO, etc. Those “gurus” who tell 
you to buy thousands of 5-second views to bump up your view count … 
yes, that does the search damage you always knew it would. 
This is why audience retention is the new view count. 
The new Audience Retention Report in YouTube is, without a doubt, the 
most important social media marketing tool to come around in a long 
time. You can now see what kind of retention you’re getting from your 
videos and how it compares to everyone else’s. Want to get to the top of 
the results? Study this Audience Retention Report like a hawk and 
update your video making strategies accordingly. 
The following video walks you through a couple of reports and offers 
some insights on how to respond. 
Paul Colligan, education czar for Traffic Geyser Inc. and CEO of 
Colligan.com. 
#5: Cyfe 
While there are a number of enterprise-level listening and monitoring 
tools available to assist brands, a new tool that I’ve been a fan of is Cyfe. 
It provides visibility into social channel and search metrics that typically 
only admins of those channels/tools have access to. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 5
Cyfe is an all-in-one dashboard that helps you monitor and analyze data 
scattered across all of your online services. 
For example, we’re able to set up a visual real-time dashboard 
forGoToMeeting, which provides brand-specific Facebook 
Insights data, YouTube Analytics, Twitter and Twitter 
Search information, SEOMoz, Google Trends, Google Analytics and a 
number of other social or search data points. 
As a social media team, we’re often asked for such information from 
team members who are curious about the community, channel 
interactions and other related questions. Cyfe has enabled to us to make 
that data easily accessible to our team members. 
Going one step beyond social and search, Cyfe also enables you to bring 
in your CRM, email marketing and blog data, with new integrations 
shipping on a regular basis. 
Justin Levy, strategic advisor on all social media activities at Citrix 
Online and editor-in-chief of Workshifting.com. 
#6: Cloze 
The newest tool that I’m most excited about is Cloze, recommended to 
me by Jascha Kaykas-Wolff of Mindjet. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 6
Imagine an aggregation and curation system for your social network and 
that’s what Cloze provides. I’m able to view the activity of people by 
date in my network and then check them off, respond to them, like them 
or retweet them directly from the Cloze interface. 
Cloze helps you increase your interaction with those most important to 
you. 
It’s absolutely genius and is already saving me tons of time, increasing 
my interaction with those most important to me and reducing the clutter 
and wasted time of having five channels open that I’m constantly trying 
to stay abreast of. This is the inbox of the future! Cloze is currently in 
beta.

Blog, founder of DK New Media (an inbound marketing 
agency) and author of Corporate Blogging for Dummies. 
#7: AgoraPulse 
There is no shortage of social media marketing tools these days, that’s 
for sure. But despite the overwhelming number of tools out there, it’s 
still very difficult to find the ones that will really deliver while 
remaining accessible for a small-business budget. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 7
When it comes to managing our Facebook Page, I’ve been very 
impressed withAgoraPulse. It focuses on Facebook (at least for now), 
but provides everything your Facebook Page will ever need. 
In addition to contest and promotion applications that are a “must-have” 
for every Facebook Page, AgoraPulse offers unique features that really 
make a difference, such as: 
 Detailed benchmark with competitors 
AgoraPulse shows you a detailed benchmark with your competitors. 
 Fan ranking and qualification 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 8
The fan management feature shows you fan ranking and qualification. 
 Advanced statistics and personalized content recommendations 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 9
You can also track average users reached by day of week. 
They also offer a ton of other great features such as advanced statistics, 
automated moderation and even admin rights and workflow 
management. These are the kind of features that used to be only 
available in expensive enterprise-level solutions. Getting access to such 
advanced and useful features for a price that every small businesses can 
afford does make a big difference. 
Aaron Kahlow, CEO of Online Marketing Connect and chairman and 
founder of the Online Marketing Summit and its related educational 
arm, the Online Marketing Institute. 
#8: GaggleAMP 
One application that I’ve recently been exposed to and am excited about 
isGaggleAMP. I talk to many marketers who say, “If only our sales and 
business development team would share our social media postings, it 
would help us reach a greater—and more relevant—audience in social 
media.” 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 10
This is especially relevant in B2B companies where you traditionally 
have a large sales force compared to a small number of people in 
marketing. That sales force represents a potential army of internal brand 
advocates who can help make a company’s social media marketing 
efforts much more effective. 
Leverage employees, partners, customers and fans to share your 
company's social media messages on your behalf. 
With the emergence of GaggleAMP, social media and marketing 
directors can now utilize the reach of their internal staff to help spread 
their message in social media, and internal employees have complete 
control in deciding exactly which messages they would like to share on 
which platforms and how frequently. 
Companies simply sign up to GaggleAMP, create a “Gaggle” (a group 
revolving around their content), and then request that interested 
employees join the Gaggle. Employees then authorize their social 
networks and decide which content they would like to share with their 
network. 
GaggleAMP can send notifications when new content is available to be 
posted, and there is even a “point” system to gamify social sharing and 
reward those internal employees who are good sharers. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 11
GaggleAMP tracks activity, allowing you to report on the impact and 
ROI for every message and campaign. 
B2B companies are sitting on a goldmine of brand advocates who work 
at their company. By using GaggleAMP, they can organize and leverage 
their internal tribe while ensuring control over social media messages 
that are sent out externally. 
For employees, it’s internal content curation served up on a platter to 
give them more timely and relevant content to share with their networks 
and maintain mindshare on whichever social networks the company’s 
customers or clients are on. 
I expect to hear about more companies adopting GaggleAMP in the 
months to come!

media strategist and teaches social media marketing at Rutgers 
University. 
#9: SproutSocial 
I’ve been enjoying the statistics and tools available on SproutSocial, and 
am using it to get good Twitter and Facebook overviews of my accounts 
and for some of my clients’ statistics. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 12
You can also do some Twitter account comparisons, schedule content, 
bring in yourGoogle Reader to watch for content and share accounts 
with others. 
Deliver beautiful detailed reports to your organization or customers. 
If you manage many accounts, you can easily create nice-looking 
reports that give a good overview of activity and growth and 
SproutSocial is reasonably priced. 
Andrea Vahl, social media coach, speaker and strategist and Facebook 
community manager for Social Media Examiner. 
#10: Reachli 
Reachli (formerly known as Pinerly) is the hottest 
new Pinterest analytics tool. Similar to Facebook and Twitter apps such 
as Buffer and HootSuite, Reachli allows users to pre-schedule pins and 
view feedback data such as click-through rates and number of repins. 
Creating social campaigns on Reachli is easy with its clean and 
simplified design. 
Although the site is optimal for Pinterest analytics, it also allows users to 
post on any social platform and benefit from similar analyses. Boasting 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 13
comprehensive capabilities, Reachli is an ideal page-management tool 
for any brand or community manager. 
Reachli helps you understand what works and what doesn't to help you 
optimize your posts. 
Social media analytics are essential in providing users with optimal 
content, as well as discovering hard data to support social initiatives. 
Offering real-time analytics and best practices data, Reachli helps 
you optimize your Pinterest content based on the analysis of click-through 
rates and repin feedback. This beneficial information can 
result in more effective scheduling and more engaging content. 
For a low cost, brands can also employ Reachli advertising, a service 
that uses a unique algorithm to match content with its most relevant 
online audience across the social sphere. As Pinterest grows in 
popularity, brands will find the capabilities of Reachli to be extremely 
beneficial in most effectively leveraging the social platform.

Social Media and the forthcoming Likeable Business. 
#11: Instagram 
For the team here at Sony, one of the new platforms we are most excited 
about isInstagram. When we launched our brand channel (@sony) 4 
months ago, we couldn’t have imagined the wealth of beautiful, funny 
and creative content we would find. We’ve seen everything from the 
cutest pups and kitties with Sony products to gorgeous, artistic shots 
taken by professional Sony photographers. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 14
But the best thing about all of this content is that the community has 
been more than willing to let us share their work (crediting them, of 
course). 
We’ve asked hundreds of Instagrammers if we could share one of their 
Sony-related photos and have never once been declined. The result is 
that we get access to authentic and cool content while honoring this 
community of artists. 
Instagrammers share their photos with Sony. 
We’re also exploring holding contests on the platform and have just 
recently launched our very first #SonyX contest. Although we’re only 
two days in, we’ve already received a lot of enthusiasm from the 
community and are building awareness for our new X headphones via 
the photo entries and the use of the hashtag. 
Callan Green, senior social media specialist for Sony Electronics.

#12: Buffer 
Buffer is to social media marketers like what a wand is to Harry Potter— 
it’s one of the coolest and most useful social media tools I’ve ever used. 
As you know, in order to benefit from social media platforms 
like Facebook, Twitterand LinkedIn, you have to actively be posting 
things—an account with no life is not going to be very interesting to 
those who follow it. With Buffer, you can schedule your tweets and 
posts ahead of time and create a consistent social media presence on 
your accounts. 
Often, I’ll schedule a week’s worth of tweets, which will automatically 
drive traffic back to my site or keep my audience engaged throughout 
the week, without lifting a finger. 
Of course, it’s best practice to follow up with those who reply and you 
may have specific time-sensitive tweets to share in between your 
scheduled posts, but anything that allows me to be more efficient in my 
business and ensure that I am posting stuff when I might not have the 
time otherwise is gold in my opinion. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 16
With Buffer App, you can schedule your tweets and posts ahead of time 
and create a consistent social media presence on your accounts. 
In addition, the team behind Buffer is always friendly, responsive and 
looking to improve, which speaks highly about the tool and what kind of 
company created it, and where it’s headed in the future. 
Pat Flynn, founder of the Smart Passive Income Blog. 
#13: SocialToaster 
I’m excited to see some of the advancements in using social media to 
increase brand advocacy. SocialToaster is making great strides in 
combining gamification for sharing brand-related content with superfans 
to drive reach and engagement. 
Brands like QuickenLoans, JustFab and the Baltimore Ravens are 
leveraging these tools to connect with fans in an authentic and mutually 
beneficial way to increase brand loyalty and advocacy. It’s exciting to 
see social media used in a way that drives and enhances brand passion.

You can use SocialToaster to amplify your message.

Explorer and author of How to Measure Social Media: A Step-By-Step 
Guide to Developing and Assessing Social Media ROI. 
#14: Pop-Ups 
In the past, pop-ups were hated by many marketers, and rightfully so due 
to their unprofessional look and feel, plus the fact they were so 
disruptive to readers each time they came onto the site. 
But if you look around today, some of the most professional websites— 
like Social Media Examiner, Content Marketing Institute and others are 
using pop-ups for lead capture. 
The main reason for this shift and “acceptance” is as follows: 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 18
1. Pop-ups today can be set on delays and scheduled. In other words, 
you can set a pop-up so that once a viewer closes it out, it does not 
reappear on their screen again for whatever amount of time you’d like 
—be it a week, a month or forever. 
2. Now pop-ups look much more professional than in the past. Great 
visuals can be added, they can fade in and fade out depending on how 
long someone has been on the site, and their custom options are 
plentiful. 
I added a pop-up feature to The Sales Lion a few months ago and the 
results have been exceptional. Instead of getting 15-25 signups a day for 
people downloading my eBook and subscribing to the newsletter, I’m 
now getting 25-40 a day, which is a huge increase. 
At the same time, I haven’t had any long-time readers complain that they 
had to see a pop-up one time, which was a fear I initially had. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 19
The Sales Lion saw a huge increase in opt-ins from the use of this pop-up. 
If you’re looking at adding a pop-up lead capture to your blog, you may 
want to consider Pippity, PopUp Domination or others. 
Marcus Sheridan, co-owner of River Pools and Spas, founder of 
PoolSchool.us and founder of the popular sales/marketing blog The 
Sales Lion. 
#15: LinkedIn’s Skills and Expertise Page 
What if there was a social media tool that could tell you: 
 The best keywords to use in your social profiles? 
 Who the key influencers are and how to get in touch with them? 
 The exact companies you should be targeting with your particular 
skill set? What kinds of groups you should join for optimal 
relationship-building? 
 What companies you should work for and who you know at 
those companies? 
Of course by now you’ve probably guessed that I’m talking 
about LinkedIn. But the tool I’m talking about in particular is 
LinkedIn’s Skills and Expertise page. After entering “Facebook 
Marketing” in the search box there, this is what came up: 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 20
The LinkedIn Skills and Expertise page helps you find experts in 
different fields. 
Keywords: “Related Skills” show up on the left-hand side of the Skills 
page when you search for a skill to add to your LinkedIn profile. Think 
of them as relevant keywords. LinkedIn will also show you the 
popularity of those particular keywords (the higher the number, the more 
people are using that skill) Hint: Use the less popular skills too! 
Influencers: LinkedIn will show you the influencers in your particular 
skill set by name, picture and title. It will show you how you’re 
connected to them. If they are a first-degree connection, send them a 
message. For a second-degree connection, ask for an introduction. 
Outside of your immediate network? You can still reach them through 
InMail or a shared group. What a powerful way to build your network 
and find mentors or advisers! 
Companies, Groups and Jobs: The Skills page will also highlight the 
companies, jobs and groups that are recognized by LinkedIn as being 
relevant to your skill set. This can save you an enormous amount of time 
when you’re looking for companies to offer your services to, for groups 
to engage with to build your strategic relationships or jobs that will suit 
you. And of course, because this is LinkedIn, you’ll see who is already 
in your network and can give you access to that company, group or job! 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 21
Skills is truly a doorway into stronger connections and better business. 
Viveka von Rosen, known internationally as the “LinkedIn Expert” and 
author of LinkedIn Marketing: An Hour a Day. 
#16: Scoop.it 
I originally thought Scoop.it was just another curation tool, a platform 
that allows users to gather together great content that they’ve discovered 
online. A Scoop.it button on the browser window can now rest besides 
those for List.ly and Pinterest, so that as you go around the Internet and 
find great content, you can simply click and share. 
Scoop.it is a powerful curation tool. 
When you “scoop” a tweet, a blog post, or any other content, you’re 
creating a post that is added to a category, or a “topic.” You can easily 
create new topics that others can follow. In turn, you can follow the 
topics of others. 
At any point, a post can be re-shared through a number of other social 
platforms. People can add comments to a post, or give it a thumbs-up. 
Combined, these features make for a robust content curation tool that 
allow you to build community around topics, and to nurture relationships 
with influencers by sharing and discussing their content. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 22
When you create topics, Scoop.it suggests content for you to add. You 
can manage how Scoop.it recommends content based on keywords or 
the feeds of particular users. Those feeds can include their blogs, Twitter 
feeds, Twitter lists, hashtags, and Facebook. 
In this way, Scoop.it becomes a powerful social discovery tool and if 
focused on an individual, can even act as an influencer outreach 
management tool. 
If you’re a HootSuite user, you can now integrate your topics right into 
HootSuite. With or without HootSuite, though, Scoop.it can act as a 
central hub to discover great content, build community around that 
content, and nurture relationships with influencers. 
Ric Dragon, CEO and co-founder of the digital marketing agency 
DragonSearch and author of Social Marketology. 
#17: Pocket 
The hottest social media marketing tool I’ve discovered in the last 6 
months is Pocket(formerly known as Read it Later). At first glance you 
may think that Pocket is simply a private online bookmarking tool, but 
it’s actually much more than that. Pocket is acentralized mobile content 
curation and social media sharing control center! 
Put articles, videos or pretty much anything into Pocket for later. 
You can save and tag content from anywhere (your smartphone, tablet or 
computer) to your Pocket account. You can even save content to Pocket 
from Google Reader and Twitter using the browser extensions. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 23
Save content to Pocket from Google Reader and Twitter using the 
browser extensions. 
The real power of Pocket, however, is that it integrates with over 300 
web and mobile apps. This means that you can collect the best content 
you discover on any device and share it whenever and wherever you 
wish through Pocket. 
Pocket drives my entire social and mobile content curation and social 
sharing system, whether I’m sitting at my desk or on the go. 
Pocket integrates with over 300 web and mobile apps. 
Here are three tips for using Pocket: 
1. Download the Pocket app to your mobile device and/or tablet and 
install the bookmarklet to your web browser. If you have a Mac, be 
sure to install the Mac application. (You can now share content to 
your social networks directly from the new Pocket Mac Application.) 
2. Save the content that you want to share with your social networks 
to Pocket from your computer, mobile phone or tablet. Be sure to add 
the tag “Share” to the particular articles you save that you later 
want to share with your social connections (you can add as many 
tags as you like). 
3. Each day, login to Pocket on your smartphone or tablet and push 
the articles tagged with “Share” to Buffer (my personal favorite), or 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 24
literally to almost any social network of your choice. Don’t forget to 
insert your own insights or comments when you share! 
Note: Typically I share from Pocket to Buffer because it integrates 
with Bit.ly and enables me to track the links I’ve shared. Buffer also 
distributes my social shares at optimal times so that they can be more 
visible with my network connections. 
Pocket is a smart content collection and distribution tool that allows you 
to become a master social curator! 
Stephanie Sammons, founder and CEO of Wired Advisor, a digital 
strategy and marketing agency for financial advisers, business 
professionals and professional services firms. 
#18: Crowdbooster 
What if you had a system that informed you exactly when your best 
times to tweet are in order to reach the maximum audience, based on 
how your followers respond? And what if the system showed you the 
Klout scores of new influential followers so you can follow up? And 
how about spotlighting @mentions that you hadn’t responded to yet? 
Look no further than Crowdbooster! 
Crowdbooster always shows your best times to tweet at the top of the 
dashboard. The times are adjusted as your followers respond. 
But this awesome tool doesn’t just analyze Twitter. You can also dig 
into your Facebook Fan Page metrics to analyze your top posts, number 
of impressions, fan growth, top fans and more. You can even schedule 
posts via Crowdbooster for both Twitter and Facebook. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 25
Crowdbooster displays colorful "bubbles" showing how well your 
tweets (and Facebook posts) are doing. Hover over any bubble for more 
information as shown in the black box. 
You get one Twitter account and one Facebook Page for free. Upgrade 
levels include up to 10 or 30 total social accounts (currently only Twitter 
and Facebook Pages) for a reasonable fee. Give it a try and see what you 
think. 
See at-a-glance metrics for follower growth, influential followers, 
retweets and more. 
The nice thing about Crowdbooster is the team is super helpful, friendly 
and approachable… and they’re always iterating, so stay tuned for even 
more awesome features in the pipeline!

We use Lithium for our new community platform. Its phenomenal 
capabilities allow for a lean team to rally users, influencers and our own 
associates to participate. From an organic growing knowledge base 
through the ability to reward frequent contribution, it is state of the art

#20: Tweetbot 
Tweetbot is a Twitter app that allows you to do everything you can do 
on any other Twitter app with an extra killer feature: the ability to filter 
out tweets. 
Tweetbot allows you to filter out tweets. 
This app allows you to focus on the tweets that matter in your Twitter 
stream. It’s available at the Apple App Store. 
Michael Stelzner, founder and CEO of Social Media Examiner. 
#21: PostAcumen 
Facebook is one of our brand’s primary social channels. Our goal with 
that channel is to deliver content that begs to be engaged with. We’ve 
had tools to measure how well our own content performs, but we also 
wanted to know how well we performed relative to the competition. 
Thanks to a brand-new tool called PostAcumen, developed by the same 
folks who made EdgeRank, we’re now able to perform extensive 
competitive analysis on Facebook posts. We can see how our content 
resonates with our fans and how those metrics stack up against our 
competitors for Likes, Comments, Shares, etc. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 29
With PostAcumen you can see how your brand compares against direct 
competitors, or even industry leaders. 
There is a nominal cost for the service, but so far it’s provided great 
insights, is easy to use and understand and helps us get better at 
delivering engaging content to fans. 
Liz Phillips, social media manager at TaylorMade-Adidas Golf, where 
she manages social media for TaylorMade, Adidas Golf, and Ashworth 
brands. 
#22: Facebook Pages Manager App 
My favorite social media tool is the Facebook Pages Manager App. This 
tool allows me to manage multiple pages while on the go. Not only can I 
post, comment and engage with my fans on multiple pages, but this app 
does so much more. I’m also able to create Facebook Offers directly 
from the app, which allows me to promote my programs and services 
anytime, anywhere. 
In addition, I can instantly get a greater reach for my most important 
posts by buyingPromoted Posts on-the-go directly from my mobile 
phone. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 30
This is what it looks like to buy Promoted Posts via a mobile phone 
using the Facebook Pages Manager app. 
With these features, I can make real-time decisions for my pages based 
on my fans activity and my current marketing goals. If you’re like me 
and often on the move, this app is one you don’t want to go without!

Dummies and a social media strategist. 
#23: Vocus 
One of my favorite social media tools is Vocus. Vocus is a suite that 
helps manage your social media profiles, monitor what is happening in 
real time and other key functions. 
One of the key elements that makes it different than other services is that 
it incorporates the very popular Help A Reporter Out (HARO) 
website. HARO is a site where reporters can post their requests for 
information and interviews anonymously, and where you can respond. If

#24: Quozio 
Can’t find an image to pin on Pinterest? No problem! I recently came 
across a simple, slick tool that allows you to take some text, like an 
inspirational quote or a particularly helpful blurb from a blog post, and 
turn it into a beautiful, pinnable image. The tool is called Quozio. 
You can use Quozio to create cool quotation pins for Pinterest, but it 
also solves a common problem. 
When you find a great article, or blog post, you want to pin it to one of 
your pinboards. But sometimes when you use your Pin It bookmarklet to 
try to pin it, the bookmarklet can’t find a pinnable image on the page. 
This is where Quozio can come to the rescue. 
All you need to do is highlight a snippet of text from the blog post you 
want to pin, copy it, then use Quozio to create a pinnable image from 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 32
that text. You can pin your new image directly from the Quozio 
interface. 
To make sure your new Quozio pin links back to the original blog post 
you want to share, you just need to edit your pin after you’ve posted it. 
You can click on the “edit” button in the corner of any of your pins to 
edit that pin’s settings and add the URL of the original blog post. 
When editing your pin, make sure you add the URL of the original blog 
post. 
Then just click on “Save Pin” and viola! You’ve got a beautiful pin that 
links back to an awesome blog post.

II. Video marketing tips 
#1: Make your title count 
Just like a headline to a blog post, 
video titles can pull powerful 
traffic. There are two main reasons 
why the title is so important. One, 
a great title can instantly grab a 
viewer’s attention. 
Two, when you use the appropriate keywords in your title, you are more 
likely to show up on search engines when people are searching for your 
topic. And remember Google owns YouTube, so there’s a story 
connection between video and searching. 
#2: Provide excellent content 
Take some time to think about your ideal viewer. What do you know 
that they’ll find valuable? What can you teach them? “How-to” videos 
are extremely successful because not only do they offer great value to 
your viewer, but also you’re able to showcase your knowledge and skill, 
thus positioning yourself as an expert. This is key as you continue to 
grow your brand. 
#3: Include your URL in your video 
When you edit your video, take advantage of the different editing 
features. One easy feature is to add a text box to your video. This is 
where you can display your website address and it’s a great way to get 
exposure. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 35
Here’s a screen shot of Mari Smith’s YouTube channel. Notice how she 
used a text box in her video to display key information, including her 
website URL at the end of her video. Smart move! 
#4: Take advantage of video’s branding opportunities 
For branding purposes, have your company logo displayed prominently 
somewhere on the screen. You can do this at all times, or during key 
times in your video. 
In the image below, notice how the company logo is displayed in the 
upper-left corner. You can display your logo throughout your video or 
only at key times. 
#5: Always provide an HTML link 
When you post on YouTube, you have the option to write a short 
description of your video. Always start with the link you want to drive 
your viewers to so you don’t miss this key opportunity. 
Here’s a snapshot of the description boxes from one of my YouTube 
videos. Notice the placement of my website URL (it’s the first thing 
you want to put in the box!) and the keywords I used in my title as well 
as the description. 
#6: Go beyond YouTube 
Most people post their videos on YouTube. In addition to this, make 
sure to always embed your video on your own website. This will 
increase the amount of time people spend on your website and help grow 
a captive audience. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 36
Also, Google’s algorithms consider how many times a video is viewed, 
and embedded video views you receive get added to the ‘views’ tally on 
YouTube. This is important for showing up in Google search results!

If you need top free materials below, please visit: videomarketingaz.com · Top 21 tips for video marketing · Top 31 sites to upload your videos · Top free 7 tools for video marketing I. Video marketing content for you! Are you looking for ways to enhance your social media marketing? Do you want new tools to simplify your job? We asked a group of social media pros for the hottest social media tools they use today. Check them out to see if these social media tools are a good fit for you! #1: Unlock to Share Plugin My favorite social marketing tool of all time is the unlock to share plugin. What is it? It’s a simple plugin that “unlocks” additional content when your web visitors share your stuff on Facebook, Twitter or Google+. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 1
  • 2. Make your site go viral by requiring the user to share your link to unlock content. Why is this so valuable? Well, today everyone has a Like button on their site. But if you want your audience to share your stuff, you need to give them a little incentive! That’s exactly what this plugin does. In my most recent experiment, I had 452 people land on a page where they hadaccess to royalty-free music they could use in their videos. If you shared the post, I gave you an additional five music tracks. Out of those 452 visitors, 379 shared to unlock those five extra songs! That’s 84%! These unlock to share plugins are everywhere. The one I used was found over onCodeCanyon. James Wedmore, co-founder of Video Traffic Academy and founder of Video Sales Magic and Video Copy Pro. #2: SlideShare This isn’t a “new” tool, but I’m amazed by the number of marketers who still don’t useSlideShare as a main staple in their social media distribution. According to the latest research from Content Marketing Institute and MarketingProfs, just 23% of B2B marketers and only 7% Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 2
  • 3. of B2C marketers leverage SlideShare (which now sees approximately 60 million users per month). SlideShare is a great tool to use as part of your company's storytelling process. We continue to integrate SlideShare into our visual storytelling, and it’s now a key part of our lead generation process. It’s a true sleeping giant. Joe Pulizzi, founder of the Content Marketing Institute and author of Managing Content Marketing and co-author of Get Content, Get Customers. #3: Commun.it I use Commun.it to help build and nurture relationships with supporters, influencers and potential customers on Twitter. The basic service, which is free, keeps track of your most valuable followers and interactions, rolling up the data into an action-driven dashboard. One glance and you’ll know whom to follow, whom to thank and to whom you need to respond—all of which you can do directly within the tool. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 3
  • 4. Another big plus: You can quickly spot your most active conversation buddies. Commun.it tallies up the number of exchanges between you and other Tweeters, indicating whether or not you’re following each other. Commun.it rolls up your data into an action-driven dashboard. In addition to the dashboard, Commun.it has reporting functionality. I love the way it lists hard-to-find stats in one handy place, including new followers, the handles of who stopped following you, RTs of your content, direct messages and total reach. Commun.it also records this social activity for your Twitter handle, so you can keep tabs on your own contributions and connections in the Twitterverse. Shelly Lucas, senior marketing manager and leader of social media at Dun & Bradstreet. #4: YouTube’s Audience Retention Report You’ve probably read that YouTube search is now optimized for time watched. Effective YouTube marketing demands that we understand (and create better videos based on) how our videos are watched, at least Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 4
  • 5. as much as we “optimize” them for SEO, etc. Those “gurus” who tell you to buy thousands of 5-second views to bump up your view count … yes, that does the search damage you always knew it would. This is why audience retention is the new view count. The new Audience Retention Report in YouTube is, without a doubt, the most important social media marketing tool to come around in a long time. You can now see what kind of retention you’re getting from your videos and how it compares to everyone else’s. Want to get to the top of the results? Study this Audience Retention Report like a hawk and update your video making strategies accordingly. The following video walks you through a couple of reports and offers some insights on how to respond. Paul Colligan, education czar for Traffic Geyser Inc. and CEO of Colligan.com. #5: Cyfe While there are a number of enterprise-level listening and monitoring tools available to assist brands, a new tool that I’ve been a fan of is Cyfe. It provides visibility into social channel and search metrics that typically only admins of those channels/tools have access to. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 5
  • 6. Cyfe is an all-in-one dashboard that helps you monitor and analyze data scattered across all of your online services. For example, we’re able to set up a visual real-time dashboard forGoToMeeting, which provides brand-specific Facebook Insights data, YouTube Analytics, Twitter and Twitter Search information, SEOMoz, Google Trends, Google Analytics and a number of other social or search data points. As a social media team, we’re often asked for such information from team members who are curious about the community, channel interactions and other related questions. Cyfe has enabled to us to make that data easily accessible to our team members. Going one step beyond social and search, Cyfe also enables you to bring in your CRM, email marketing and blog data, with new integrations shipping on a regular basis. Justin Levy, strategic advisor on all social media activities at Citrix Online and editor-in-chief of Workshifting.com. #6: Cloze The newest tool that I’m most excited about is Cloze, recommended to me by Jascha Kaykas-Wolff of Mindjet. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 6
  • 7. Imagine an aggregation and curation system for your social network and that’s what Cloze provides. I’m able to view the activity of people by date in my network and then check them off, respond to them, like them or retweet them directly from the Cloze interface. Cloze helps you increase your interaction with those most important to you. It’s absolutely genius and is already saving me tons of time, increasing my interaction with those most important to me and reducing the clutter and wasted time of having five channels open that I’m constantly trying to stay abreast of. This is the inbox of the future! Cloze is currently in beta. Douglas Karr, founder and chief blogger at the Marketing Technology Blog, founder of DK New Media (an inbound marketing agency) and author of Corporate Blogging for Dummies. #7: AgoraPulse There is no shortage of social media marketing tools these days, that’s for sure. But despite the overwhelming number of tools out there, it’s still very difficult to find the ones that will really deliver while remaining accessible for a small-business budget. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 7
  • 8. When it comes to managing our Facebook Page, I’ve been very impressed withAgoraPulse. It focuses on Facebook (at least for now), but provides everything your Facebook Page will ever need. In addition to contest and promotion applications that are a “must-have” for every Facebook Page, AgoraPulse offers unique features that really make a difference, such as:  Detailed benchmark with competitors AgoraPulse shows you a detailed benchmark with your competitors.  Fan ranking and qualification Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 8
  • 9. The fan management feature shows you fan ranking and qualification.  Advanced statistics and personalized content recommendations Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 9
  • 10. You can also track average users reached by day of week. They also offer a ton of other great features such as advanced statistics, automated moderation and even admin rights and workflow management. These are the kind of features that used to be only available in expensive enterprise-level solutions. Getting access to such advanced and useful features for a price that every small businesses can afford does make a big difference. Aaron Kahlow, CEO of Online Marketing Connect and chairman and founder of the Online Marketing Summit and its related educational arm, the Online Marketing Institute. #8: GaggleAMP One application that I’ve recently been exposed to and am excited about isGaggleAMP. I talk to many marketers who say, “If only our sales and business development team would share our social media postings, it would help us reach a greater—and more relevant—audience in social media.” Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 10
  • 11. This is especially relevant in B2B companies where you traditionally have a large sales force compared to a small number of people in marketing. That sales force represents a potential army of internal brand advocates who can help make a company’s social media marketing efforts much more effective. Leverage employees, partners, customers and fans to share your company's social media messages on your behalf. With the emergence of GaggleAMP, social media and marketing directors can now utilize the reach of their internal staff to help spread their message in social media, and internal employees have complete control in deciding exactly which messages they would like to share on which platforms and how frequently. Companies simply sign up to GaggleAMP, create a “Gaggle” (a group revolving around their content), and then request that interested employees join the Gaggle. Employees then authorize their social networks and decide which content they would like to share with their network. GaggleAMP can send notifications when new content is available to be posted, and there is even a “point” system to gamify social sharing and reward those internal employees who are good sharers. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 11
  • 12. GaggleAMP tracks activity, allowing you to report on the impact and ROI for every message and campaign. B2B companies are sitting on a goldmine of brand advocates who work at their company. By using GaggleAMP, they can organize and leverage their internal tribe while ensuring control over social media messages that are sent out externally. For employees, it’s internal content curation served up on a platter to give them more timely and relevant content to share with their networks and maintain mindshare on whichever social networks the company’s customers or clients are on. I expect to hear about more companies adopting GaggleAMP in the months to come! Neal Schaffer, founder of Windmills Marketing, is a leading social media strategist and teaches social media marketing at Rutgers University. #9: SproutSocial I’ve been enjoying the statistics and tools available on SproutSocial, and am using it to get good Twitter and Facebook overviews of my accounts and for some of my clients’ statistics. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 12
  • 13. You can also do some Twitter account comparisons, schedule content, bring in yourGoogle Reader to watch for content and share accounts with others. Deliver beautiful detailed reports to your organization or customers. If you manage many accounts, you can easily create nice-looking reports that give a good overview of activity and growth and SproutSocial is reasonably priced. Andrea Vahl, social media coach, speaker and strategist and Facebook community manager for Social Media Examiner. #10: Reachli Reachli (formerly known as Pinerly) is the hottest new Pinterest analytics tool. Similar to Facebook and Twitter apps such as Buffer and HootSuite, Reachli allows users to pre-schedule pins and view feedback data such as click-through rates and number of repins. Creating social campaigns on Reachli is easy with its clean and simplified design. Although the site is optimal for Pinterest analytics, it also allows users to post on any social platform and benefit from similar analyses. Boasting Video marketing.

When we launched our brand channel (@sony) 4 months ago, we couldn’t have imagined the wealth of beautiful, funny and creative content we would find. We’ve seen everything from the cutest pups and kitties with Sony products to gorgeous, artistic shots taken by professional Sony photographers. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 14
  • 15. But the best thing about all of this content is that the community has been more than willing to let us share their work (crediting them, of course). We’ve asked hundreds of Instagrammers if we could share one of their Sony-related photos and have never once been declined. The result is that we get access to authentic and cool content while honoring this community of artists. Instagrammers share their photos with Sony. We’re also exploring holding contests on the platform and have just recently launched our very first #SonyX contest. Although we’re only two days in, we’ve already received a lot of enthusiasm from the community and are building awareness for our new X headphones via the photo entries and the use of the hashtag.

  • 16. #12: Buffer Buffer is to social media marketers like what a wand is to Harry Potter— it’s one of the coolest and most useful social media tools I’ve ever used. As you know, in order to benefit from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitterand LinkedIn, you have to actively be posting things—an account with no life is not going to be very interesting to those who follow it. With Buffer, you can schedule your tweets and posts ahead of time and create a consistent social media presence on your accounts. Often, I’ll schedule a week’s worth of tweets, which will automatically drive traffic back to my site or keep my audience engaged throughout the week, without lifting a finger. Of course, it’s best practice to follow up with those who reply and you may have specific time-sensitive tweets to share in between your scheduled posts, but anything that allows me to be more efficient in my business and ensure that I am posting stuff when I might not have the time otherwise is gold in my opinion.

Pat Flynn, founder of the Smart Passive Income Blog. #13: SocialToaster I’m excited to see some of the advancements in using social media to increase brand advocacy. SocialToaster is making great strides in combining gamification for sharing brand-related content with superfans to drive reach and engagement. Brands like QuickenLoans, JustFab and the Baltimore Ravens are leveraging these tools to connect with fans in an authentic and mutually beneficial way to increase brand loyalty and advocacy.

But if you look around today, some of the most professional websites— like Social Media Examiner, Content Marketing Institute and others are using pop-ups for lead capture. The main reason for this shift and “acceptance” is as follows: Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 18
  • 19. 1. Pop-ups today can be set on delays and scheduled. In other words, you can set a pop-up so that once a viewer closes it out, it does not reappear on their screen again for whatever amount of time you’d like —be it a week, a month or forever. 2. Now pop-ups look much more professional than in the past. Great visuals can be added, they can fade in and fade out depending on how long someone has been on the site, and their custom options are plentiful. I added a pop-up feature to The Sales Lion a few months ago and the results have been exceptional. Instead of getting 15-25 signups a day for people downloading my eBook and subscribing to the newsletter, I’m now getting 25-40 a day, which is a huge increase. At the same time, I haven’t had any long-time readers complain that they had to see a pop-up one time, which was a fear I initially had. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 19
  • 20. The Sales Lion saw a huge increase in opt-ins from the use of this pop-up. If you’re looking at adding a pop-up lead capture to your blog, you may want to consider Pippity, PopUp Domination or others.

What kinds of groups you should join for optimal relationship-building?  What companies you should work for and who you know at those companies? Of course by now you’ve probably guessed that I’m talking about LinkedIn. But the tool I’m talking about in particular is LinkedIn’s Skills and Expertise page. After entering “Facebook Marketing” in the search box there, this is what came up: Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 20
  • 21. The LinkedIn Skills and Expertise page helps you find experts in different fields. Keywords: “Related Skills” show up on the left-hand side of the Skills page when you search for a skill to add to your LinkedIn profile. Think of them as relevant keywords. LinkedIn will also show you the popularity of those particular keywords (the higher the number, the more people are using that skill) Hint: Use the less popular skills too! Influencers: LinkedIn will show you the influencers in your particular skill set by name, picture and title. It will show you how you’re connected to them. If they are a first-degree connection, send them a message. For a second-degree connection, ask for an introduction. Outside of your immediate network? You can still reach them through InMail or a shared group. What a powerful way to build your network and find mentors or advisers! Companies, Groups and Jobs: The Skills page will also highlight the companies, jobs and groups that are recognized by LinkedIn as being relevant to your skill set. This can save you an enormous amount of time when you’re looking for companies to offer your services to, for groups to engage with to build your strategic relationships or jobs that will suit you. And of course, because this is LinkedIn, you’ll see who is already in your network and can give you access to that company, group or job! Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 21

Viveka von Rosen, known internationally as the “LinkedIn Expert” and author of LinkedIn Marketing: An Hour a Day. #16: Scoop.it I originally thought Scoop.it was just another curation tool, a platform that allows users to gather together great content that they’ve discovered online. A Scoop.it button on the browser window can now rest besides those for List.ly and Pinterest, so that as you go around the Internet and find great content, you can simply click and share. Scoop.it is a powerful curation tool. When you “scoop” a tweet, a blog post, or any other content, you’re creating a post that is added to a category, or a “topic.” You can easily create new topics that others can follow. In turn, you can follow the topics of others. At any point, a post can be re-shared through a number of other social platforms. People can add comments to a post, or give it a thumbs-up. Combined, these features make for a robust content curation tool that allow you to build community around topics, and to nurture relationships with influencers by sharing and discussing their content. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 22
  • 23. When you create topics, Scoop.it suggests content for you to add. You can manage how Scoop.it recommends content based on keywords or the feeds of particular users. Those feeds can include their blogs, Twitter feeds, Twitter lists, hashtags, and Facebook. In this way, Scoop.it becomes a powerful social discovery tool and if focused on an individual, can even act as an influencer outreach management tool. If you’re a HootSuite user, you can now integrate your topics right into HootSuite. With or without HootSuite, though, Scoop.it can act as a central hub to discover great content, build community around that content, and nurture relationships with influencers. Ric Dragon, CEO and co-founder of the digital marketing agency DragonSearch and author of Social Marketology. #17: Pocket The hottest social media marketing tool I’ve discovered in the last 6 months is Pocket(formerly known as Read it Later). At first glance you may think that Pocket is simply a private online bookmarking tool, but it’s actually much more than that. Pocket is acentralized mobile content curation and social media sharing control center! Put articles, videos or pretty much anything into Pocket for later. You can save and tag content from anywhere (your smartphone, tablet or computer) to your Pocket account.

Each day, login to Pocket on your smartphone or tablet and push the articles tagged with “Share” to Buffer (my personal favorite), or Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 24

Pocket is a smart content collection and distribution tool that allows you to become a master social curator! Stephanie Sammons, founder and CEO of Wired Advisor, a digital strategy and marketing agency for financial advisers, business professionals and professional services firms. #18: Crowdbooster What if you had a system that informed you exactly when your best times to tweet are in order to reach the maximum audience, based on how your followers respond? And what if the system showed you the Klout scores of new influential followers so you can follow up? And how about spotlighting @mentions that you hadn’t responded to yet?

Our goal with that channel is to deliver content that begs to be engaged with. We’ve had tools to measure how well our own content performs, but we also wanted to know how well we performed relative to the competition. Thanks to a brand-new tool called PostAcumen, developed by the same folks who made EdgeRank, we’re now able to perform extensive competitive analysis on Facebook posts. We can see how our content resonates with our fans and how those metrics stack up against our competitors for Likes, Comments, Shares, etc. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 29

Vocus is a suite that helps manage your social media profiles, monitor what is happening in real time and other key functions. One of the key elements that makes it different than other services is that it incorporates the very popular Help A Reporter Out (HARO) website. HARO is a site where reporters can post their requests for information and interviews anonymously, and where you can respond. If it’s a good fit, the reporter contacts you. It’s a great way to get additional free PR. Combined with the rest of Vocus’s platform capabilities, this provides a powerful one-two punch. Michael Crosson, founder and publisher of SocialMediopolis.com and founder of the fourth-largest LinkedIn group, “The Social Media Marketing Group.” #24: Quozio Can’t find an image to pin on Pinterest? No problem! I recently came across a simple, slick tool that allows you to take some text, like an inspirational quote or a particularly helpful blurb from a blog post, and turn it into a beautiful, pinnable image. The tool is called Quozio. You can use Quozio to create cool quotation pins for Pinterest, but it also solves a common problem. When you find a great article, or blog post, you want to pin it to one of your pinboards. But sometimes when you use your Pin It bookmarklet to try to pin it, the bookmarklet can’t find a pinnable image on the page. This is where Quozio can come to the rescue. All you need to do is highlight a snippet of text from the blog post you want to pin, copy it, then use Quozio to create a pinnable image from Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 32

When editing your pin, make sure you add the URL of the original blog post. Then just click on “Save Pin” and viola! You’ve got a beautiful pin that links back to an awesome blog post.

  • 35. II. Video marketing tips #1: Make your title count Just like a headline to a blog post, video titles can pull powerful traffic. There are two main reasons why the title is so important. One, a great title can instantly grab a viewer’s attention. Two, when you use the appropriate keywords in your title, you are more likely to show up on search engines when people are searching for your topic. And remember Google owns YouTube, so there’s a story connection between video and searching. #2: Provide excellent content Take some time to think about your ideal viewer. What do you know that they’ll find valuable? What can you teach them? “How-to” videos are extremely successful because not only do they offer great value to your viewer, but also you’re able to showcase your knowledge and skill, thus positioning yourself as an expert. This is key as you continue to grow your brand. #3: Include your URL in your video When you edit your video, take advantage of the different editing features. One easy feature is to add a text box to your video. This is where you can display your website address and it’s a great way to get exposure. Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 35
  • 36. Here’s a screen shot of Mari Smith’s YouTube channel. Notice how she used a text box in her video to display key information, including her website URL at the end of her video. Smart move! #4: Take advantage of video’s branding opportunities For branding purposes, have your company logo displayed prominently somewhere on the screen. You can do this at all times, or during key times in your video. In the image below, notice how the company logo is displayed in the upper-left corner. You can display your logo throughout your video or only at key times. #5: Always provide an HTML link When you post on YouTube, you have the option to write a short description of your video. Always start with the link you want to drive your viewers to so you don’t miss this key opportunity. Here’s a snapshot of the description boxes from one of my YouTube videos. Notice the placement of my website URL (it’s the first thing you want to put in the box!) and the keywords I used in my title as well as the description. #6: Go beyond YouTube Most people post their videos on YouTube. In addition to this, make sure to always embed your video on your own website. This will increase the amount of time people spend on your website and help grow a captive audience. Video marketing.
