Why Is Social Media Marketing So Important

Jul 20, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

Before we move on to today’s topic I just wanted to finish up where we left off yesterday. We were talking about Robin Sharma’s book “The Greatness Guide” and the the “Four F Syndrome or why people resist change and don’t even try to improve their situation when the opportunity comes along.

We discussed the first two F’s which are Fear and Failure. The third F is “Forgetting”. When we leave the Self Help seminar reality sets in and we have a lot of everyday difficult situations to deal with at work and at home and we forget what we learned at the seminar.

He says a “key to success” is to keep your commitments top of mind. Heighten your awareness around them. Better awareness-Better choices. Better choices-Better results. Keep your self promises front and center, don’t forget them.

Put them on a 3 x 5 inch card that you post on your bathroom mirror so they’re the first thing you see every morning. He says it seems silly but it works beautifully. Talk about them a lot. Write about them in your journal.

The fourth and final F stands for “Faith”. Too many people have no faith, he says. They are cynical. “This leadership training stuff doesn’t work.” Or “I’m too old to change.” Cynicism stems from disappointment. Cynical and faithless people weren’t always like that.

They tried and perhaps failed and instead of realizing that failure is just a part of success removed themselves from the game and grew cynical. Thier way to avoid getting hurt again.

So there you go the four F’s of why we resist transformation and showing real leadership in our lives. Sharma says understand them and you can manage and overcome them. Because awareness really does precede success. He says we truly can get to greatness and will we know for sure if we don’t even try.

So now let’s move on to today’s topic and I hope you enjoy it…

Why Is Social Media Marketing So Important?

Social Media Marketing is a modified term of conventional Product and Service Marketing. Social marketing is not about advertising, at least not advertising on its own. It is the art of getting others to talk about your brand or products. Social marketing is the future so learning to get it right is very important.

It’s about finding your customers where they are. Social marketing is not simply buying a banner ad campaign that runs on a social network. It uses marketing techniques to generate discussion and promote information, attitudes, values and behaviors. The benefits of marketing in this way are far too numerous to ignore.

One of the benefits of embracing Social Media Marketing campaigns is Traffic from the Social Network. Traffic is great for any website where the business model is based on site session numbers, page views, advertising impressions and CPC metrics.

As with any form of internet marketing, your campaign needs to be really well thought out, and you must spend a fair amount of time on planning strategy and creating exceptional content. This is followed by promoting and monitoring and tracking the results closely.

Take your time and consider your campaign setup carefully, but be sure to get out and participate in this Internet Marketing strategy. Social Marketing is critical to the Internet Marketing Mix.

Many marketers are unsure of how to approach marketing in the social networks or even if they should approach it. The primary aim of social marketing by its original definition is social good, while in commercial marketing the aim is primarily financial.

When compiling your Social Media Network Strategy always keep in mind your customer base and what they want. Do they participate in the social networks online and is this something they would like to see your business involved with. If the answer is yes you might want to start by adding a Blog to your website.

If your employees are into the social networking scene ask them to add articles to the Blog. Always remember to add the company logo, name and any other identifying features to the background.

Once you have that in place you could consider joining one or more of the social networking sites. Choose carefully because there are many out there with some being just a waste of your time. Facebook and MySpace are two of the more popular ones.

After joining you can start a group or become a member of a group whose primary interest is your type of business, product or service.

This is a good starting point and once you begin to understand how Social Media Networking operates you can expand your involvement to other areas of interest. Remember Social Networking is the new wave and ignoring it as a strategy to add to your marketing mix could be devastating to your enterprise.

Social marketing is just a smart idea. It’s not just a slogan, public service announcement, or one-time communication or mass media campaign. Social marketing is a powerful tool that can improve an individual’s, a group’s, or a society’s welfare.

Social marketing is a relatively new, often misunderstood form of online marketing that is reaping huge rewards for website owners who incorporate it into their marketing plan.

That’s when I started to look around and realized that wouldn’t it be great if there was a way you could watch how to properly get set up with the social sites in such a way that you were guaranteed to get lots of traffic?

Four Pitfalls Associated with any Social Media Marketing Campaign

Jul 13, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

The most recent phenomenon to hit the Internet Marketing scene in recent years is another form of Internet Marketing in its own right called Social Media Marketing. While Social Media Marketing has the capability to drive hordes of targeted traffic to your website there are still some pitfalls involved which you should try to avoid, at all costs, if you want to be successful with your Social Media Marketing campaign.

First of all one of the major targets of Social Media Marketers are the Social Media Websites themselves, for example, MySpace and Facebook. In order to target and market to these sites you have to join and attract friends to your profile page. The first thing to avoid after joining is becoming involved with any of the software available which allows you to send mass invitations to certain groups you may have targeted inviting them to be your friends.

Everyone in the group receives a generic message inviting them to be your friend. If the site owner or webmaster discovers you are using this software you could be banned for life or, at the very least, have your membership suspended for a period of time. This can result in giving you a bad reputation within this community and make it very difficult to build any type of trusting relationship you need to establish for your future marketing activities on this site.

Another pitfall to be avoided is related somewhat to the first one demonstrating how any type of news, good or bad, travels fast within these Social Media Networks. When you approach your Social Media Marketing campaign and any of these Social Media websites you have to do so with the right attitude.

By saying this I mean you have to be open and honest about your intentions. You have to be Transparent. If you try to deceive any of your Social Networks it will usually come back to haunt you which can, again, result in a tarnished if not trashed reputation within these internet communities.

A wise Internet Marketer once told me when it comes to Internet Marketing the more you give the more you receive. This brings us to a third pitfall which, if not avoided, can stall your Social Media Marketing campaign as if it were mired in quicksand. And this is, always be available and eager to offer help and advice.

But don’t offer advice if it’s not requested. If you are available to answer a Blog or Forum question for someone who is stuck in a particular situation and needs help then by all means try to help. This will pay big dividends later on when needed because your reputation will precede you which, in this case, will be a good thing.

A fourth and final pitfall has to do with knowing who you are approaching. In other words you wouldn’t take a trip to Singapore without doing a little preparation and study about the culture and practices of these particular people. You should take the same approach when planning your Social Media campaign.

If you’re approaching communities such as Facebook or MySpace, learn the proper etiquette and above all try not to offend anyone. Especially try not to offend anyone who wields any kind of influence or power over the other members of the community. This too can result in a quick death for your Social Media Marketing campaign.

If you approach your promotion with these four pitfalls in mind and put in the necessary planning and preparation as you would with any marketing campaign then you will be much more likely to encounter success with your Social Media strategy.

The Joy of Being Ranked on Google

Jul 12, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

Yesterday Afternoon I sat down at my PC to write another article to post on my Blog and I decided to do a search of Social Media Marketing which is the topic I’ve been concentrating on for the past couple of weeks.

I typed “The Advantages of Social Media Marketing” into the Google search window and hit search. Much to my surprise and amazement when I checked the results there I was number two on the list on the first page right below Scholarly Articles.

I scrolled further down the page and there I was again, number eight on the first page. I was very happy about the results to say the least. Being so highly ranked on Google makes it all seem worthwhile.

All the hours spent at the keyboard pumping out Articles and sometimes wondering if anyone reads them or learns anything from them and then to have Google answer those two questions for me was a satisfying moment.

Feeling pretty pleased with myself I decided to do another search but this time for “Social Media Marketing Techniques” and this time I was ranked number seven on the first page. I decided to stop after that and not press my luck.

When I told my wife she was happier than I was which made it that much more special. Because she knows the effort I put into my Blog on a daily basis and she was so pleased that I was finally rewarded for it.

With 200 million searches per day Google is now a $150 billion company and a seemingly unstoppable corporate juggernaut and is the place to be ranked if you want to be successful online. Google is simply a tool to help find information and is just an extended information warehouse.

It is far and away the best search engine out there and given that Google is so dominant, it’s easy to understand why so many Internet Marketers want to be seen on the first page of a search.

With Google being so vital to the web, whatever stance it takes on any type of online policy has massive implications for the rest of the web, and for other search engines in particular.

I believe from my experience the two major factors which determine your ranking on Google are first and foremost having very good content that people are interested in and want to link to. Of course if you’ve been online for any length of time whatsoever I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase “Content is King”.

Needless to say I’m a firm believer in this and I guess this belief is starting to pay off. Also having keyword rich Articles is also a big help but not to the extent that these words are hampering the flow and meaning of the message you’re trying to get across.

With over 50% of all Internet users using Google Internet Marketers cannot afford not to be ranked on the world’s most popular search engine.

Content is Just as Important on Social Media Profiles as it is on Blogs

Jul 11, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

It’s Friday, July 11th. and the weekend is upon us. Because I’m in the midst of a Social Media Marketing campaign to promote the launch of “Social Traffic Explosion” my focus for the past couple of weeks has been on the new Web 2.0 or the Social Media Market, as you may have noticed.

Today I want to continue down that road by examining how Internet Marketers can establish themselves within the Social Media network in order to target an audience for their products or services. So I thought about what would be the most important part of getting established within a Social Media network.

I realized that as with any website or Blog Content is the most important attraction on any Social Media profile page. With this in mind let’s move on to today’s article. I hope you enjoy it and have a great weekend!

With Social Media being the new phenomenon online today it would be ludicrous for any Internet Marketer to ignore it when it comes to formulating a strategy for an Internet Marketing campaign.

As with most marketing promotions your success or failure is usually determined by your approach. The most important part of a successful socialization plan when it comes to MySpace and Facebook, for example, is the content on your profile page.

Content drives traffic which drives sales when it comes to your Blog as well as your Social Media profile page. The richer and more varied the content the more people it will attract and the faster word will spread about your page and what it has to offer.

Try to make it entertaining in terms of what’s available for visitors to interact with as well as by adding a touch of humor because everyone likes to laugh. For interactivity you could have your favorite music highlighted for them to click on and sample. You could add a music video or two as well as some comedy clips or maybe have a joke of the day feature.

One important factor not to ignore is your own personal story. The objective of these sites after all is to meet and get to know new people. And most everyone likes reading or hearing about someone else’s life experience.

This doesn’t mean you have to reveal all of the sordid details but try to convey your likes and dislikes in your own style. Don’t try to be someone you’re not. People want to get to know the real you.

Also try to make your profile informative. Everyone has an expertise in some area, so share this knowledge with your guests who view your story and before you know it you’ll have more online friends than you know what to do with.

If you keep giving people what they want they’ll keep coming back for more and the best way to do this is to write about what you know and are comfortable with.

Pictures are also a great way to attract visitors. You can demonstrate some of your interests through photographs of some of your favorite activities. Pictures also add a more personal element to the page giving the viewer a better chance to get to know you and appreciate what you do.

If you’re an avid reader, for example, you could possibly start a book of the month feature where you discuss or critique a particular book you may be reading. You could ask visitors who are also readers to leave comments and maybe start a book of the month club.

With any relationship, be it online or in your day-to-day life, the important thing is to maintain contact. On any of these Social Media websites this means visiting on a regular basis to let people know what’s happening in your life. It also means updating your Profile page on a regular basis.

Any Internet Marketer who can follow these simple steps should enjoy great success in the new Web 2.0 or Social Media market not only professionally but also personally. And always remember the old adage “Content is King.”

How to be Successful Marketing to the New Web 2.0 or to the Social Media Market

Jul 10, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

According to the Free Dictionary online the definition of success is as follows:1. The achievement of something attempted. 2. The attainment of wealth, fame, or position. 3. A person or thing that is successful. [Latin successus an outcome]

In order to achieve any of the above criteria marketing to the new Web 2.0 or in the Social Media Arena as we know it today you, first of all, have to know your target audience and what makes them tick. What drives them to spend so much time in the Social Media environment?

What are they hoping to gain from these activities? What are their needs and wants? And most importantly; how do they feel about being targeted as a potential consumer in this situation?

To achieve any level of success with the Social Media Market each of these areas must be addressed in detail. First of all, why do people spend so much of their free time on MySpace or Facebook? What is the lure or attraction of these Social Media sites?

On some of the forums, such as MySun, people go so far as to say it’s an addiction. One female contributor is quoted as saying, “I was addicted to MySpace…wanted to sit there 24/7. I’ve deleted it now, can’t be doing with it anymore, as for facebook…well I’m on there now but I think I’m gonna delete that too….its nuts.”

Another 26 year old female said, “I love Facebook, my sister got me hooked on it. Before then I didn’t see the fuss but now I do. The more you do on it, the more you love it.”

And yet another participant, a 34 year old male stated, “I use myspace to keep in touch with everyone, not addicted though…pop in once and a while, and it’s helpful….found friends from years ago.”

From each of those comments you see a common thread emerging. Two of the respondents mentioned “addiction” and one used the phrase “hooked on it”. All of these people constitute a potential target market, for Internet Marketers, no matter what their reasons for spending so much time socializing online.

So it follows that in order to be successful marketing to this audience the marketer too must spend time online socializing with and gaining the trust of these potential clients. In order to accomplish this you have to be transparent with these individuals. Whatever you do don’t try to deceive them by pretending to be someone you’re not just to gain favor with them.

These people are there to make friends and establish relationships and that has to be the goal of the Internet Marketer as well. You have to respect their environment and their reasons for being there. If not you’re doomed to failure even before you begin.

Secondly what are their needs and wants? In order to determine this, the Internet Marketer must again establish relationships with these people in order to find out what their situation is and what they are looking for at the present time and in the future.

If they aren’t looking for what you’re selling then at least you have made a friend online and maybe the next person will be in the market for your product or service.

Finally how do they feel about being targeted by Internet Marketers in their environment? Again in this situation the Internet Marketer must always keep in mind that these people are in what they consider to be their space, pardon the pun.

You must respect their feelings and approach them as if you’re in their home. The Internet Marketer can be viewed as an outsider or an intruder if they’re too aggressive and lose sight of the fact that they’re on their turf, so to speak.

Finally, along with being genuine in your approach, have fun with it as well. That’s what these sites are meant to be for the most part and if you’re having fun and being honest about you’re intentions then you can be very successful marketing to the Social Media audience online.

So many people have been saying for months now that using the social marketing sites like MySpace, Facebook and the others is a great way to get traffic.

But there’s been a problem and that’s been no one has ever showed you how to do actually do it.

Not only that but a lot of these social sites don’t like you posting your website links and affiliate links all over the place so you can sometimes end up getting blocked or just not getting any traffic.

Well I found myself in the same position - I knew a little bit about social marketing, enough to be dangerous. But the problem was that although I was spending plenty of hours on these websites I just wasn’t getting any traffic or sales.

That’s when I started to look around and realized that wouldn’t it be great if there was a way you could watch how to properly get set up with the social sites in such a way that you were guaranteed to get lots of traffic?

And that’s where Social Traffic Explosion comes in …

You get shown on a guided tour on the best way to REGISTER, CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROFILE and get MASSIVE TRAFFIC from some of the biggest social marketing sites that exist out there.

And the best part?

You know how important traffic is to the life of your website?

Of course you do.

So how about I share with you some of the best ways to get traffic coming into your site using those “social marketing” sites that everyone’s talking about?

WHAT IS SOCIAL MARKETING?

People call it social marketing, web 2.0 or new age marketing but the fact of the matter is - you need to be using the social marketing websites to your advantage because there’s tons of free traffic to be had from them.

The big names like MySpace, Facebook and the rest are not only dominating news stories now and people’s minds they are starting to play a really big part in driving traffic to marketer’s pages online. The problem though is this …

… social sites don’t like marketers! It’s true! So you have to be careful when you are using them that you don’t get banned. The key is to adopt this simple “4 H’s” approach;

Humor
Honesty
Have fun
Help people

As long as you can inject a little bit of humor into your social marketing profile or even just a little piece of who you really are then you will start attracting lots of friends and widening your network.

You also need to maintain an honest approach throughout. No point uploading photos to your profile of P Diddy or Pamela Anderson pretending they’re someone you’re interested in. People want to get to know you so be honest.

Have fun! That’s one of the great things about social marketing is that you can have lots of fun doing it. Meeting new people, learning new stuff and making money from the traffic that you get from it all at the same time.

Also remember to help people. The more you can help people the more they will help you in return. So add useful links and recommendations to your profiles. Point people in the right direction and answer any questions people post on your profile or contact you with.

BUT WHAT ARE THE SECRETS TO MASSIVE SOCIAL TRAFFIC?

The Top Five Social Media Websites Online Today

Jul 06, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

It’s Sunday July 6th. and today we lead into our new product announcement tomorrow with another article on Social Media or the new Web 2.0. Today we look at the top five Social Media websites online today.

As I mentioned tomorrow we should have a preview of a new product I’m launching which will help Internet Marketer’s everywhere with their Social Media Marketing. In the mean time please enjoy today’s feature.

Social Media sites are basically communities where like minded people gather to share information and experiences. They are viewed everyday by massive numbers of people and these same people actually generate the content for these sites.

These sites are growing in importance because they contain information users find interesting, timely and informative and they are becoming a target for Internet Marketers who see them as an untapped reservoir of potential clients.

The top five Social Media websites in terms of Inbound Links, Google Page Rank, Alexa Rank, and U.S. traffic data from Compete and Quantcast are lead by MySpace.

MySpace is a popular social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos for people internationally. It is one of the most successful sites in recent years, amassing 124 million profiles and has transformed life online since its launch.

MySpace is one of the most visited sites in the world and it’s introducing a huge number of people to content syndication and they allow millions of people around the world to publish to the web for the first time.

It is by far the dominant social network in the US and is at an all time high in terms of audience reach and engagement according to both comScore and Neilsen.

Coming in second is Wikipedia. Wikipedia is booming in terms of visitors and contributors. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, for the most part written by the masses and therefore should be viewed accordingly.

It is meant to be a starting point, a place to go for basic information and therefore it’s like any encyclopedia, a place to begin your research but not a place to end it.

Wikipedia is full of information, but this doesn’t mean that it’s all reliable information. Wikipedia is a good example of the new Web 2.0 and is a fine first step to get the basics quickly, especially for technology and pop culture related questions. Wikipedia is a wonderful resource if you use your own judgment and don’t always believe what you read.

It is supported by a non-profit organization and exists to serve information in an open platform. Anyone can edit it and, of course, this opens it up for all the issues and inaccuracies that come with an open platform. However Wikipedia is a wonderful resource and often provides excellent summaries and detailed articles.

In third place we have YouTube. YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. Founded in February 2005, and based in San Mateo, California, they specialize in showing short videos created by everyday people.

YouTube is a consumer media company for people to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience.

It is the most popular site to visit for viewing online videos, sharing your favorite videos and for commenting on what you’ve seen. A slightly newer feature of YouTube is the ability to send invitations to people through email by using the “Invite Your Friends” feature.

Coming in at fourth is Facebook. According to Wikipedia Facebook is a social networking website launched on February 4, 2004. The free-access website is privately owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people.

People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profile to notify friends about themselves. The website’s name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some American colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.

Finally, at number five we have Photobucket. Photobucket is a photo-sharing and hosting site owned by News Corp. Photobucket is a photo and video tool that could become a web-wide warehouse for the storage of digital media.

It is the Web’s most popular creative focal point, with nearly 40 million unique users around the world linking billions of personal photos, graphics and videos daily to hundreds of thousands of Web sites. It’s a tool that allows users to host images for use on social networking, e-commerce, gaming, enthusiast, and blogging sites.

These sites are all about shared experiences and are based on the technology of Web 2.0. Social media sites are where people come together online to interact, share experiences and make friends. They are the new wave which doesn’t seem to going out anytime soon.

You know what it’s like - you see a product that looks good and you buy it thinking it’s the answer to all your problems.

But it doesn’t work.

You first come onto the Internet and all you’re bombarded with is promotions and offers all telling you the same thing - making money from affiliate marketing is easy!

“If Making Money From Affiliate Marketing Is So Easy Why Isn’t Everyone Cashing In On It Like I Am?”

You see - I’ve been online since 1995. I have literally spent thousands and thousands of hours learning affiliate marketing and spending small fortunes on affiliate marketing products.

It’s been a long, lonely and painful journey but I’ve made it here to tell you the story!

You start off and everything looks rosy for you doesn’t it?

You hear about stories of riches over night and before you know it you have invested in some so-called solution that does nothing but empty your wallet and smash your dreams into even tinier pieces.

And this is the biggest pain of all.

The fact that you start blaming yourself. Like there’s something YOU could have done differently or something that YOU haven’t quite done right or correctly understood.

But that’s the point - it’s NOT YOUR FAULT. It’s not your fault at all..

“You Have Been Lied To - Affiliate Marketing Is NOT Easy UNLESS You Have a PROVEN, TIME-TESTED
System You Can Follow..”

If you’re anything like I was when I started out then you’ve tried different approaches, joined different programs and maybe made a little money (or not!) and you’re starting to feel FRUSTRATED, CONFUSED, LOST and ANGRY at the whole situation.

You are not alone. There are thousands of people out there who just desperately want to make some money from affiliate marketing but have found it impossible to do up until now..

..so why has it been so difficult for you to make money as an affiliate?

You have not been told the full story.

This is an all-time classic and I hear about it all the time. You buy a course or program and it leaves out some key element. Don’t you just HATE that?!

You start getting into the course and you think “this is pretty good” and then all of sudden something comes up where you are ASSUMED to have already made a giant leap that you don’t know how to do.

You feel ripped off and alone.

This is a feeling you know just as well as I do. In the 13 plus years that I’ve been online learning all this stuff I have been ripped off, let down and burned more times than I care to remember but you know what?

After all this pain and loss I have made it this far and I now know why this is. To share my message and my knowledge with you.

You see - I want to finally LEVEL THE PLAYING field and make it possible for you to make the money online that you truly deserve.

You DO deserve to make the money you want online. I know I felt that way when I first started out and now I make 5-figures and 6-figures PER MONTH and you can do this too.

You know by now that I’ve been around the affiliate marketing block a few times and it’s taken me years of painfully slow progress and costly trial and error to get to a position where I am now making literally millions of dollars online.

You want to know the good news?

You can COPY my entire blueprint for affiliate marketing success. You can just swipe the whole system for yourself and roll it out for your own affiliate marketing.

PLEASE: if you get anything from this page please let it be this - learn from my lesson, it has taken me over THIRTEEN YEARS to discover the secret to affiliate marketing and you can get it directly from me on this page. OR you can try and work it all out for yourself and take the long, painful, expensive, lonely route..

The Advantages of Podcasting; Another Social Media Marketing Trend

Jul 05, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

Hi, it’s Saturday July 5th. and I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Today I’m continuing our series on Social Media online or the new Web 2.0 with an article on another Social Media trend, “Podcasting”.

This series of Articles dedicated to the Social Media Marketing movement online today is intended to lead us into an announcement which I’ve been talking about for the last 10 days or so about a new Social Media Marketing product which I will be launching over the next week or so.

I’m hoping to have a sneak preview for everyone on Monday, July 7th. after all the testing has been completed and it’s ready to go. I hope you’ll look forward to that. But without further delay here is our feature on Podcasting, another Social Media Marketing trend. I hope you enjoy it.

Podcasts are audio files published as RSS or Really Simple Syndication feeds, using XML file format technology to deliver MP3s to computers or portable music players. Podcasts are most often listened to on an MP3 player, but they can also be heard on a computer using media player software.

Podcasts are a little like TiVo, which allows television watchers to download only the programs they want to watch and to skip the advertising. However Podcasts are most often audio format but there are video Podcasts available as well.

Podcasts are automatically delivered directly to your personal computer, and can be transferred to your iPod or other MP3 player. They are often conversations, and include co-hosts and discussions or interviews.

Podcasts are downloadable audio programs and are a simple way to automatically get regular audio broadcasts which you can then listen to at your leisure from your computer or MP3 player.

Podcasts are available with RSS feeds that allow listeners to select files they wish to download or set software to automatically download new content when it’s available.

They are different in that most people will listen to a show from start to finish and are popular for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that they’re free.

Wikis, blogs and Podcasts are all relatively easy to use, which partly accounts for their popularity. Simply put, Podcasts are free downloadable audio in the form of a digital media file that you can subscribe to, via syndication feeds over the internet.

Though the marketing opportunities associated with Podcasts are obvious, how internet marketers, for example, can insert their ads into Podcasts isn’t so obvious and tracking actual listeners and viewers of these ads is even less obvious.

There are many Podcasts which are second-rate at best, and often you have to put up with the advertising and needless musical interruptions.

The two main advantages of Podcasts are their ease of use and the availability of many free or low-cost software and hosting options to run them. Also small business Podcasts are a great way to attract new customers.

And for those of us with little time to spare, Podcasts are one of the most valuable tools available for staying on top of trends in technology and keeping up with current events.

Some other advantages of Podcasts are their ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added. Many Podcasts also allow users to direct download by giving a link to the audio file in an RSS feed or web page.

The number of people interested in Podcasting, or who have downloaded a Podcast, is increasing according to Nielsen Net Ratings. The estimate is 56 million by 2010. This provides a great marketing opportunity using Podcasts with the added bonus of their ease of distribution through RSS feeds.

In summary the very low cost associated with Podcasting combined with the distribution opportunities and the fact that it attracts search engine traffic makes Podcasting a very attractive target for internet marketers and social media marketers in general.

Viral Video Marketing is a Phenomenal Social Media Marketing Technique

Jul 04, 2008 in Internet Marketing, Social Media Marketing

Welcome! It’s Friday July 4th. and Happy Independence Day to all our American friends. It’s good to be back. I was absent for a couple of days because I was feeling a little under the weather but it’s good to be online again.

Because of my absence and the fact that it’s a long weekend in the U.S. I’ve decided to put off our announcement I had been planning until Monday July 7th. when everyone should be back to their normal routine. I apologize for the long wait but unfortunately it couldn’t be avoided.

As I mentioned last week this announcement will concern the soon to be launched new Internet Marketing product which should be of great interest to all the Internet Marketers online today. I will have much more on this on Monday as long as everything goes as planned.

Today I thought I would follow up with our week long editorial on Social Media with an article on a relatively new Social Media Marketing phenomenon “Viral Video Marketing.”

Viral Video Marketing is all about creating videos that induce people to pass them on to others or encourage them to tell others about the video or videos, and is the next phenomenon in internet marketing. Viral video marketing is a marketing event that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a video marketing message voluntarily.

It is dependent on the word-of-mouth creation system, which lets other people cut through the information, sort it, process it, and then pass on the benefit of their experience. Viral video marketing is a science because there are ways to scientifically increase your chances of making your video go viral.

Viral video marketing is the process of getting instant and immediate popularity and is a super way to build your online brand visibility.

It is often used as a way to promote a site because it’s fairly simple to accomplish when compared to other methods such as direct mail, pay per click ads, or search engine marketing.

The goal of the home based business person is to create viral marketing videos that spread over the web like a virus and create massive amounts of traffic to your website. This is why it’s sometimes compared to a virus.

Viral Video Marketing is a great way to put your face with your product and is a great strategy to get the word out about your product or service. It is the next stage in interactive word of mouth advertising and has the potential to drive a mass of targeted traffic to your website.

Viral video marketing is a growing trend in the online marketing industry and is less expensive than the traditional media. The most complicated part of viral video marketing is the creation of the video itself. Once the viral video is finished and ready to be launched it should be placed on several websites which specialize in online video marketing.

Viral Video Marketing is changing the way we do business because with nearly 70% of home Internet users now surfing using a broadband connection online video viewing has exploded.

There are several factors which determine the success of your viral video with two of the most important being your distribution or placement of the finished product and having an innovative idea for your video to become viral in the first place. Without the innovative idea, of course, distribution becomes a moot point.

Your video can be combined with several other Social Media Marketing techniques to help it go Viral. For example you can share your video on Facebook with your entire list. You can also embed the video on MySpace in the comments section of different pages.

Email the video to your friends to make sure as many people as possible know about it. You can also promote the video on your Blog and perhaps create a build up to it in terms of being a coming attraction.

These techniques in addition to having a unique idea for the video to help it along its viral path and having it distributed by a website specializing in online video marketing should help establish it as Viral in no time at all.

Video Marketing is a relatively unexplored form of Internet Marketing that can be used to rank in the top 10 results for almost any term. Now, video marketing is a driving force within the Social Media online marketing industry.

You know what it’s like - you see a product that looks good and you buy it thinking it’s the answer to all your problems.

But it doesn’t work.

You first come onto the Internet and all you’re bombarded with is promotions and offers all telling you the same thing - making money from affiliate marketing is easy!

“If Making Money From Affiliate Marketing Is So Easy Why Isn’t Everyone Cashing In On It Like I Am?”

You see - I’ve been online since 1995. I have literally spent thousands and thousands of hours learning affiliate marketing and spending small fortunes on affiliate marketing products.

It’s been a long, lonely and painful journey but I’ve made it here to tell you the story!

You start off and everything looks rosy for you doesn’t it?

You hear about stories of riches over night and before you know it you have invested in some so-called solution that does nothing but empty your wallet and smash your dreams into even tinier pieces.

And this is the biggest pain of all.

The fact that you start blaming yourself. Like there’s something YOU could have done differently or something that YOU haven’t quite done right or correctly understood.

But that’s the point - it’s NOT YOUR FAULT. It’s not your fault at all..

“You Have Been Lied To - Affiliate Marketing Is NOT Easy UNLESS You Have a PROVEN, TIME-TESTED
System You Can Follow..”

If you’re anything like I was when I started out then you’ve tried different approaches, joined different programs and maybe made a little money (or not!) and you’re starting to feel FRUSTRATED, CONFUSED, LOST and ANGRY at the whole situation.

You are not alone. There are thousands of people out there who just desperately want to make some money from affiliate marketing but have found it impossible to do up until now..

..so why has it been so difficult for you to make money as an affiliate?

You have not been told the full story.

This is an all-time classic and I hear about it all the time. You buy a course or program and it leaves out some key element. Don’t you just HATE that?!

You start getting into the course and you think “this is pretty good” and then all of sudden something comes up where you are ASSUMED to have already made a giant leap that you don’t know how to do.

You feel ripped off and alone.

This is a feeling you know just as well as I do. In the 13 plus years that I’ve been online learning all this stuff I have been ripped off, let down and burned more times than I care to remember but you know what?

After all this pain and loss I have made it this far and I now know why this is. To share my message and my knowledge with you.

You see - I want to finally LEVEL THE PLAYING field and make it possible for you to make the money online that you truly deserve.
