How to Develop a Strategic Social Media Program for Business

Social media for fun does not require planning. You go with your guts and emotion and start joining places where it feels right for you. However, social media for business is at the other extreme, and to succeed there is a real need for proper planning before the execution.

Steps

Starting with a Strong Purpose

1. Know your purpose. Like any good corporate program or initiative, a strong purpose and a good set of objectives is important. This set of purpose and objectives has to be relevant and aligned to your other corporate objectives.
   
2. Know the limitations. It is important to know that not all objectives or purpose can be served by social media and it would be foolish to assume so, just because everybody is in social media. Social media is effective not only in PR, marketing and brand building but it is also effective when use for innovation crowd-sourcing, building corporate culture and market engagements.
   

Knowing Your Social Media Landscape

1. Know the landscape. Before engaging social media for business purposes, it is important that the people involved in the social media initiative have a clear understanding of the attributes of the field they will be playing in. Know the landscape before you start constructing. The social media landscape generally consists of the following attributes that should always be in the mind of social media strategist or planning team:
   
   • Community-driven where people not only listen or view ads and news but they participate in this new media.
     
   • Conversation is the new content king aside from videos and images. As David Armano said "It's the conversation economy".[1]
     
   • It's viral where people spread, shared and transmit content readily. That's what makes social media contagious.
     
   • Personal spaces are even more pronounced, if you got no permission don't enter. Nobody wants to be spammed or get ads-bombed.
     
   • Authenticity is what makes social media real and human. Don't bother with high cost production houses; real is soul here.
     
   
   
2. Build relationships. At the end of the day, these attributes are what builds relationships among friends. Get acquainted with people who were previously a stranger to you. These attributes build a strong fan base for your brands and business. Small businesses and unknown musicians become famous because of them too.
   

Build A Road - The 4Es of Social Media

1. Build a road. After you have understood what social media landscape attributes are, you will need to build a road before you can travel to your destination. The road here is acquainted to the 4 primary social media strategies that your company can deploy in your social media initiatives. These are the 4Es of social media:
   
   • Education Strategy - Enriching your target community's knowledge with information and resources for them to better understand you.
     
   • Entertainment Strategy - You create fun, sticky and memorable content that allows them to associate the image or message to your brand or business.
     
   • Engagement Strategy - Your purpose is to engage the community by recognizing their presence, contributions and inputs.
     
   • Empowerment Strategy - A space and role is created and provided to your target community to play an active role in what you are doing.
     
   
   
2. Tailor to your size. If your company is large enough, you can opt to deploy all at the same time (hey! you got a super highway) but if your company is small choosing the most relevant and effective route will be your best investment and keeps your resources focus.
   

Build, Hire but Don't Steal A Vehicle

1. Build slowly. You need a set of wheels to move forward. Once the road is ready, in order for you to move forward you will need a set of wheels. Depending on the size of your company, it would mean a bicycle, tricycle, motorcycle, car, F1 sports car etc. The set of wheels here that we refer to are the social media tools and widgets that you will need to decide on what to use, how they can work together and when to use it. There are thousands of them around and there are few that are most popular like Hubpages here. In general the sets of social media tools can be divided into 4 major categories:
   
   • Networking tools - blogs, microblogs, social networks, etc.
     
   • Collaboration tools - wikis, social news, social bookmarking, etc.
     
   • Multimedia tools - videos, images, interactive contents, etc.
     
   • Entertainment tools - virtual worlds, online gaming, etc.
     
   
   
2. Select according to need. Selecting the right combination of tools is important and helps you build expertise on this tools over time, because frankly you don;t want to be managing 20 social networking sites at one go.
   

Guide Your Journey

1. Set up road signs. Whenever anyone goes on a long journey or to unfamiliar places, one of the most important thing to have when he/she is travelling is to be able to refer to the roadsigns on the side of the road. It tells you your destination, the dangers, and other necessary information to make sure you don't get lost or end up in a road that has no gas/petrol station. The same logic applies to social media. It is important that your social media initiative has a good set of metric or measurements that will tell how you are doing at any one time. Nathan Gilliatt of Social Target LLC categorizes measurements into 4 distinct types:[2]
   
   • PR/media measurement - Viewing social media as media for their ability to reach an audience.
     
   • Word of mouth measurement - Viewing social media as online interactions among people.
     
   • Web analytics - Interested in people's usage patterns, as both audience and customers.
     
   • Opinion research - Mining online opinions as the world's largest focus group.
     
   
   
2. Translate into equity. All these are important to consider but even more important to actually measure is to be able to translate the measurement information above into what we called the "Social Media Equity", a set of fundamentals that are important for companies to make decisions about their social media investments.
   
   • Strength of relationship (size, quality, relevance of type of activities etc)
     
   • Degree of familiarity (with your business, brands etc, not just awareness)
     
   • Degree of efficiency (where and how efficient is your viral logistics)
     
   • Value creation (are there any?)
     
   
   
3. Be aware that measurement via loyalty is but one aspect. Loyalty without social media equity nailed down, it is hard to say whether your investment in social media has actually work or not. This is because having 100,000 readers in your blog only says so much as 100,000 eyeballs of awareness but is this sufficient as a measure for performance?
   

Don't Forget the Fuel

1. Get going. So you understood the terrain, you got yourself a road/highway, bought your wheels, set up the roadsigns, so let's move it. Hold on a sec! Have you fueled? Fueling your social media initiative is no small task because when your company wants to take social media seriously, you got to really invest in:
   
   • Time - yes, time to know how to use the widgets, set up your blog, create content, filter content, participate in conversations, spread your virus.
     
   • Fresh Content - needs to be cooked up periodically whether it is from your company or from other sources. Social media is not a corporate website where you can stick up one article and let it stay there for time immemorial.
     
   • Dedicated Team - yes, social media is no part time job for your HR manager, corp comm or PR or marketing team. If your guy has a business card that reads:
     
     • Mr So and So Sales, Marketing and Social Media Manager; your fuel is going to run low real soon.
       
     
     
   • Creative Juices - to create value relevant content and conversations. Creative here does not necessary equate to fantastic designs but to content and conversations that delivered in ways that are of use. If you can put aesthetic make-up to that, this is even better.
     
   • Good Design - because nobody wants to stick around a 1.0 design site and initiative.
     
   • Widget Familiar - This is given. Anybody that wants to be in social media has to get themselves familiar with at least 10 to 30 different widgets and how they work and inter-work with each other.
     
   
   
2. Get involved; be active in getting it moving. If your plan is to ask your IT department to hook it up for you via a memo or official request and then put that task to a queue of other stuff that the IT department has to attend to; that is really not going to work.
   

The Take Back

1. Always be aware that there is nothing to loose when social media is done for the fun, but in business a lot is at stake and you certainly don't want your company, brand or initiative falling short.

Social Bookmarking - 3 reason to use it in business

If you are trying to sell things on the Internet and you do not have a blog you are putting yourself at a disadvantage. Would you go to play golf without a putter?

Your competition is blogging and they are beating your pants off every day with ease. A part of blogging is submitting your articles to social directories.

Here are 3 reasons social bookmarking must be a part of your business.

1. Social Bookmarking is a popular way to get information. Directories like Digg and Reddit are quickly becoming the choice of people all over the world as a way to keep up to date on what is going on.
If you are not blogging and submitting to relevant social directories you are missing out on this easy form of traffic.

2. Social bookmarking is easy to do. Here's what you need. You should get a Blogger blog and set it up so that you can quickly bookmark the top directories. Then you should post in your blog everyday. If you can talk and type you can blog.

3. Social Bookmarking is an interactive way to develop relationships with your readers. This has become know as Web 2.0 and it is important to the future of your business.

People still like to deal with people. This is an age-old sales trick that sometimes gets lost on the Internet. By making yourself and your blog interactive you become a real person. This will help increase your chances for sales and repeat sales.

4. Search engines love social book marketing sites. You are making their life easy when you blog around keyword rich topics that a person researching can find. When you master the techniques of social book marketing you will find you can get on page one of Google and other search engines very quickly.

The reason for this is search engines are spidering Digg, Reddit, stumble upon, and many more non-stop looking for fresh relevant content to put online. This may as well be you as opposed to your competition.

If all of this seems confusing it really shouldn't be. Read join my newsletter and get my “Social Media Sales Report. It is a free report you will receive once you join my newsletter. In it you will learn everything you ever wanted to know on social book marketing and how to use it to increase your business.

Do not wait until tomorrow to get started. Do it today and your business will thank you.

Generate Traffic with Powerful Headlines

Did you know that people scan web sites, using headlines to help them decide whether it's worth their time to read the whole page. If you want to give your copy a chance to be read, you need to use compelling descriptive headlines.

Your article headline is a promise to the prospective readers.

The headline's job is to communicate clearly the benefit that the reader will receive in exchange for their limited time. In order to write a great headline and great content, you need to start with the headline first. Promises need to be made before they can be fulfilled. If you write the content first you are trying to fulfill your promise before it is made.

With a compelling headline in front of you, you will need to produce compelling content in order to fulfill the promise. Your headline is the first impression you will make on a prospective reader.

In fact, most of the time it will be the only impression you will make, as only 2 out of 10 readers read beyond the headline. The better your headline, the better your chances of getting the rest of what you have written read. So the headline plays the significant role in the effectiveness of the entire article.

How can someone with no experience come up with a compelling headline?

The easiest way is to cheat. Well, not exactly. Borrow would be a better term. Every copywriter has what is called a "swipe file". This is a collection of ads and articles that have successful headlines. There are also resources that can be found that contain lists of successful headlines. Using such tools for developing headlines is not really considered cheating.

The collection of successful headlines provides guidance in formulating a new somewhat unique headline. It is actually very rare that a copywriter will come up with a 100% totally unique headline.

It is the promise of the headline that attracts the reader. If it depicts a benefit that the reader desires, then the reader will continue on and read the article. "How to" articles are very attractive to readers.

Whenever "How to" is used in a headline the benefit of reading the article is very clear.

Examples would be:
"How to Get Rich"
"How to Save Money"
"How to Get a Date"

The promise and benefit of the articles is very clear with these headlines. Write a headline with a compelling promise and a desirable benefit and your chances of the reader deciding to stop and read the whole story is greatly enhance.

Social Media Marketing - 3 strategies for growing your business.

Social media marketing in a nutshell is a way to promote your business online using social networks and channels. Social Media marketing is proving to be the most powerful way to build your brand, gain social creditability, and make money.

Keeping this in mind, listed below are 3 ways to use social media marketing to grow your business.

1. Blogging is a very strong way to combine various forms of social media marketing all in one place. If you do not have a blog you are losing ground to your competitors who do.

2. Social Bookmark your blog posts to create traffic from social directories and as search engine bait for search engine traffic. Be sure and use a quality blogging platform such as blogger.com.Social bookmarking gives you a way to get links back to your blog very quickly & gain social creditability. You should be bookmarking to social directories such as Technorati, Digg, and Stumbleupon.

Also go get a Twitter account and twitter is quickly becoming a great way to drive traffic to your video, blog, or website . Twitter is fast becoming one of the top social sites online to gain major exposure. You can follow me at: http://www.twitter.com/transitionman

3. Video sharing sites such as YouTube are becoming a favorite way for bloggers to
add some excitement to their blogs, but it is also much more than that. Many bloggers are also easily creating videos and putting them online on their blog. This is a very powerful form of social media that is giving your visitor what they want. Many people are a product of the TV generation and like to learn by watching as opposed to reading.

There is much more I could say about social media including social networking in places such as FaceBook, linkedin, and many others. The bottom line is making money online & offline via social media marketing all comes down to you educating yourself about the social media, investing educational materials and taking action every single day to impliment a social media tactic.

Traffic Generation strategies for Business Owners

All website owners know that you must have traffic to generate sales.

However, not just any traffic will do. The best is targeted traffic.

Targeted traffic involves enticing visitors to your site who are actually interested in the content of your website. If people are interested in buying live turkeys they will find websites about buying live turkeys interesting.

There are a number of methods for obtaining targeted traffic.

1. Reciprocal Linking - For most product websites there are usually many other related websites which aren't direct competitors. You can contact the owners of these websites to ask for a reciprocal link.

2. E-zines - E-zines are ideal because the readership is targeted. One things I have done gone to an Ezine directory and asked people who have ezine related to my topic to publish my articles in their Ezines. No all agreed...But some did. By doing this I was able to gain targeted traffic to my site.

3. Newsletters - As well as using other web owners e-zines, you should consider starting your own newsletter. In this way, you can build up your own list of targeted people and when the size of the list grows you can start selling your own advertising as well.

4. E-books - People like to receive things for free. You can give away e-books which contain useful information and are valued (and read). The trick is to include links back to your site where they can opt-in to your newsletter for more information.

5. Joint ventures - Successful internet marketers are always on the look-out for new opportunities. If you have a good product which converts well, don't be shy in contacting them to offer a joint venture.

6. PPC - Pay per click will cost you money, but it is the quickest way to get targeted traffic. If you write your ads well and select your keywords carefully making sure to include negative keywords, such as 'free', you can end up with a positive return on investment.

By applying a number of these techniques you can increase your level of targeted traffic which, in turn, can increase the profitability of your website & Business.

3 models for Making Money online

Hello All

Wow been awhile- If anyone is out there... Here's few ideas on making money online.

Today, people use the Internet not only to gather information or as a communication
medium, but also to market their products or services and thus, to make money.
Many people try different ways to make money online, but they hardly get any success.
By understanding the reason as to why they fail in their attempt to make money online
and by looking at some proven ways of making money, we can effectively earn money online.
In this article, we will look at what we could do to make money online.

Considering this, we can conclude that it would be a better option to have a business first and then use the Internet to market it. You can start a business to provide others with some kind of service, or to create and sell your product or to market other people’s product. Let’s look at how you can start with a service-oriented business.

In service-oriented business, you have to sell your skills. For example, if you know how to develop software, then you can become a freelance software developer. Another good example is, if you are good at writing articles, then you can become freelance writer and make money by writing and selling your articles. There are lots of freelancing websites on the net where people post different projects. You need to register as freelancer and then bid on the projects. In this way, you can start making money quickly.

Some people use a different approach. Instead of bidding on projects posted by others, they either develop some software or write an e-book and later on, market it online. In this way, initially you need to spend some time in creating your own product and then you need to focus entirely on marketing. The more you market, the more number of people will buy your product and more money you will make.

In the third approach, you don’t have to develop any product or sell your skills. You just need to help others in marketing their products and in return, they will give you some commission on every sale. This is known as affiliate marketing. The more products you market, the more you can earn.

No matter which approach you would choose to start your business, you must understand that, if you want to earn, you have to work hard. Think about which could be the best approach for you. You can also start with more than one type of business at a time. For example, while acting as a freelance writer, you can also write articles to market products created by others. So start working now to make money online.

Promoting Your Business by Speaking in Public

Hello All

As an entrepreneur, public speaking has to be one of the most
effective ways of marketing yourself. There are countless opportunities
out there for you to get yourself in front of your target market.
There is no better way to have a captive audience full of prospects.
It is the fastest way of establishing yourself as an expert.
You don’t have to be a professional speaker to speak in public.

Just doing a reasonable job is better than not doing anything at all.
Prospects are much more likely to engage your services if they’ve
seen you speak. Let’s look at the following example. Say you were
looking for an accountant. Would you be more inclined to trust someone
you had found in the Yellow Pages, or someone you had heard speak
knowledgeably at the local Chamber of Commerce?

Look into opportunities in your local area where you can offer to
speak for free. Professional associations, networking groups,
Chambers of Commerce, educational bodies and Rotary Clubs
are all potential public speaking venues. They often look out for
speakers for their events, meetings and workshops. Also research
the audience that is going to be at your talk.

For example, what industries are they likely to represent?
Are they from large or small companies?
What would interest them?
What angle should your presentation take?

When it comes to finalizing your speech topic, be sure to make
it sound enticing and interesting. People often decide whether
to attend a talk based on just the title so put some serious thought
into this. Practice is key to coming across in a professional manner
and reducing nerves.

Write your speech out in full, but never read it verbatim. Have an
outline prepared and available for you to refer to. Check with the
event organizer how long you have for your talk. Include timing in
your practice runs. There is nothing worse than having a speaker
run over time. Get the most mileage out of your presentation by
having some promotional material at the back of the room, for
example some business cards, flyers or brochures that people can
take with them if they wish.

You can be even more proactive and set up a newsletter before
starting to give speeches. At the end of your presentation you
can encourage your audience to sign up for your newsletter in
exchange for a promotional gift or free e-book. That way you have
also added valuable contacts to your database.

What It Truly Takes To Succeed In Business

Hello fellow Information entrepreneurs

Here is a secret that may be difficult for you to believe, so prepare yourself. It is an extremely important secret that can have a most profound impact on your small business success, or it's failure.
Let's start by asking a simple question...Do you enjoy sales?

The truth of the matter is that when many small business owners are asked this question, they respond with answers like, "No way" or "I can't stand sales, let someone else do it." Why is your answer to the above question so important?

No doubt you have seen headlines like the following, which glorify how easy and simple it is to succeed in business: "The Ultimate Lazy Way To Start Your Own Business" "Cash In On A Multi-Billion Dollar Industry In Your Underwear" "Easily Generate A Lucrative Income While Sleeping" We are constantly being bombarded with these "easy ways" to make a million bucks.

Does success in business actually work this way? Not in reality! Is it realistic? Not even close! The bottom line in operating a successful long-term business comes down to your ability to sell your product...period. It doesn't get any simpler than that. You can either sell your own product or resell somebody's else's product. Either way, your success or failure will ultimately depend on your ability to market it. If you don't enjoy sales, you have very little chance to succeed in business for yourself.

The most prevalent attitude of many new business owners is that their product, once launched, will miraculously sell itself. After all, the product is awesome and everybody will absolutely, positively want one. People should be lining up to buy it, right?

Here is another truth about sales. It will take 5-7 sales attempts to close 80% of your sales. Yes, you read that correctly. That's 5-7 attempts before people will say "Yes, I want to buy your product." Running an advertisement one-time or making a sales pitch to a potential customer once in a while does not qualify as effort.

Hearing that first "no" and subsequently giving up means the demise of your business and gives someone else an opportunity to turn that NO into a YES. What most people don't realize or fail to accept is that it may take weeks, months or even years to get a product to sell according to your expectations. You may have to frequently change your sales pitch, web site, advertisement or even the product until you get it right.

This dedication and determination is what separates the very few successful business owners from the many "wannabes" and fly-by-night hopefuls.

The bottom line is that to be successful in ANY business you will need talent and the ability to sell, sell, sell.
