Do you know the biggest problem with social marketing? It doesn’t outsource well! You could say that social marketing has thrown a monkey wrench into almost every entrepreneurs marketing plan, because it’s a two edged sword. It offers the potential for free, perpetual traffic and sales, while at the same time being a major pain in the neck!

Why doesn’t it outsource well? Primarily because of messaging. Nobody knows your product or service like you do, and nobody will be as passionate about it is you are. So who exactly is going to create all those tweets, videos, blog posts, and articles? The answer, in my humble but correct opinion, is that you either need to create them yourself, or if you have a team, a trusted and competent marketer on your team.

So what in the world do you need social marketing software for? The answer is simple: to get your message out, to as many places, in as many ways, and as easily as possible.

So before you even start looking at social marketing software, you ought to ask yourself this simple question, “What do I want the software to do?” Sounds obvious, but too many entrepreneurs are making decisions on what’s sold to them, rather than sitting down and deciding what they really need.

To help in the decision, here are the elements of social marketing that most Guru’s agree should be part of a good social marketing strategy:

-Blogging

-Video marketing

-Facebook

-Twitter (micro-blogging)

-Social bookmarking

-Content marketing

That’s not a complete list, of course, and there are many other elements involved, but those are the basics.

So the idea is that you create the messaging, and your social marketing software is your  tool to get that messaging out there as quickly and easily as possible, to as many places as possible.

For example, while Twitter is a great way of spreading a message, the software I use has a tool that doesn’t just up-date Twitter, but over forty other sites at the same time. So, one “tweet” goes to many places. I create the message, they get it everywhere it needs to be.

So here’s my personal “wish list” of social marketing software features:

-Opening of all the social accounts (there are hundreds, I don’t want to take the time to do it myself!)

-Set up the automation that allows my tweets to be broadcast to all possible places at once (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.)

-Providing blogging services such as auto-blogging, changing themes, adding lead capture boxes, Google analytics, or whatever else I want done.

-Social bookmarking. If I create a post of a site, I want it to be bookmarked for me, getting me free traffic and links.

-Training

-Support

-Link building…

Those are the things I need done. I want to do the messaging, but I want software to get it out there!

So my advice to you is to make the list that makes the most sense to you, then search for the software that does the job. Resource box:

I had a client recently ask me about social media marketing strategies so I created this overview of some of the largest and most popular social media sites operating on the web today and included comments on how they could work these sites into their marketing strategy. Enjoy.

Social Media Marketing Strategy

Using the sites listed below is an excellent way to build brand awareness when your website is just starting out. As most of the social media sites are free to join they make excellent avenues of advertising to explore while you’re trying to build a loyal following of visitors.

Once your own website has a following of regular visitors your time is probably better spent developing your site’s content to keep people coming back, as maintaining all these social media websites with up-to-date company information can be quite time consuming.

If time permits you may find it quite enjoyable building and keeping your followers updated on the various social media sites you belong to.

It can take quite a bit of creativity on your part to take advantage of most of these social media sites, however, it will be rewarding once you see your visitors and followers start to build from the efforts of your hard work.
List of Social Media Marketing Sites

Twitter

“Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?”

Twitter allows you reach a wide audience of people who “follow” your mini blog. This has quickly become a very popular social network site, especially since Oprah has talked about Twitter on her show.

As long as you can create interesting short messages known as Tweets you will be able to engage the people who are following you on Twitter.

Digg

“Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by our users.”
Creating a Digg account and submitting your own interesting content to Digg is a good start to attract visitors, but you will probably find that you won’t really get a lot of visitors until you get other Digg users to submit your websites content as well. Basically keep submitting your excellent content and hope other people “Digg” your content too.

del.icio.us
“Delicious is a social bookmarking service that allows users to tag, save, manage and share web pages from a centralized source. With emphasis on the power of the community, Delicious greatly improves how people discover, remember and share on the Internet.”

Delicious allows you to save and organize your bookmarks and share them with other Delicious users. Much like Digg adding your own content to Delicious is the best way to start spreading the word about your sites content and hope other people pick up on it as well.

Reddit

“Reddit is a social news website on which users can post links to content on the Internet. Other users may then vote the posted links down or up, causing them to appear more or less prominently on the Reddit home page.”

Reddit is a much like Digg but Reddits stories tend to be more news oriented.

Technorati
“Technorati was founded to help bloggers to succeed by collecting, highlighting, and distributing the online global conversation. As the leading blog search engine and most comprehensive source of information on the blogosphere, we index more than 1.5 million new blog posts in real time and introduce millions of readers to blog and social media content.”

This is a popular search engine for blogs and will crawl your blog once you have setup an account with them. For set-up instructions to have your blog crawled you can check out their faq page for setup instructions.
Squidoo

“Squidoo is the popular publishing platform and community that makes it easy for you to create “lenses” online. Lenses are pages, kind of like flyers or signposts or overview articles, that gather everything you know about your topic of interest–and snap it all into focus.”

Squidoo is a popular site and is in the top 200 most visited sites in the world, and in the top 50 most viewed in the United States.

Squidoo lets you create a one page blog type entry on any subject. In this case its a good idea to try to create an attractive one page flyer about your website and tag it appropriately. When Squidoo users search for information based on your “lenses” topic, Squidoo will recommend your “lens” to their users.

LinkedIn

“LinkedIn is an interconnected network of experienced professionals from around the world, representing 170 industries and 200 countries. You can find, be introduced to, and collaborate with qualified professionals that you need to work with to accomplish your goals.”

This site tends to be more for professional individuals that want to network and might not fit in with your websites marketing goals, but if you are a professional looking to network with others than this is an excellent resource for you.

Newsvine

“Updated continuously by citizens like you, Newsvine is an instant reflection of what the world is talking about at any given moment.”

Newsvine allows users to write and submit their own news stories to be voted on by users of the site. Once you create an account you are given your own column to write and promote your stories to the rest of the Newsvine users.

Wikipedia

“Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world; anyone can edit it. Since its creation in 2001, Wikipedia has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference web sites, attracting at least 684 million visitors yearly by 2008. “

If you’re unfamiliar with Wikipedia than you’re probably pretty new to the Internet. Just about any keyword typed into Google these days will have a link to a Wikipedia entry. This shows how powerful having an article about your business in Wikipedia can be. Just be aware that any entry will be quickly deleted if it doesn’t actually contain any useful information.

When submitting an entry about your own business or website try to write it as if you’re an outsider that has nothing to gain by writing the entry. You will have a better chance of not having your entry deleted right away.

StumbleUpon

” StumbleUpon helps you discover and share great websites. As you click Stumble!, we deliver high-quality pages matched to your personal preferences. These pages have been explicitly recommended by your friends or one of 6 million+ other websurfers with interests similar to you. Rating these sites you like automatically shares them with like-minded people – and helps you discover great sites your friends recommend.”

As StumbleUpon users surf the Internet they can click on website pages they like and submit the page to the StumbleUpon database. The page is then voted on and recommended to other StumbleUpon users. The more “thumbs up” votes a page receives determines how often a page is recommended to other StumbleUpon users.
Creating an account and recommending your own content is a good way to start attracting visitors to your site from StumbleUpon.

Facebook

“Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life.

Great for keeping in touch with friends and family, and by creating groups that other users of Facebook can join, you can promote your business and any up coming events as well.

Flickr

“Flickr – almost certainly the best online photo management and sharing application in the world.”
Excellent photo sharing site that allows other users to search through uploaded photo’s and comment on them. Great way to promote your business if you have related photo’s to share.

WikiHow

“WikiHow is a collaborative writing project to build the world’s largest how-to manual.”
If you can write a how-to guide about something that relates to your business then WikiHow can be a great resource to expose your brand to people looking how-to do what it is your entry is about.

Yahoo! 360

“A place that’s all about you to share with friends and family.”
Yahoo 360 is an additional spot to create a page about yourself or your business much like Myspace or Facebook.

MySpace

“Create a community on MySpace and you can share photos, journals and interests with your growing network of mutual friends!.”

The original social media site but unless you’re a musician, filmmaker or comedian, you may have a hard time reaching your target audience with MySpace.

Add This

“AddThis is the #1 bookmarking and sharing button on the Internet. We help website publishers and bloggers spread their content across the web by making it easy for visitors to bookmark and share content to their favorite social destinations.”

Add This is technically not a social media site itself but lets call it an enabler. If you are going to venture into the world of social media marketing then signing up and using the Add This “Share” button is a great place to start.

By creating an account with Add This you will be able to download your own “Share” button (like the one at the bottom of this page) and by adding this button to the bottom of every page of your website you will enable your visitors to easily share your websites content with their favourite bookmarking service or social media site.

Using the Add This “Share” button also has the extra benefit that you can log into your Add This account and see statistics on when and where your websites content has been shared through use of your “Share” button.

Off-site promotion and link building is not what it has been just about couple of years ago. With the invention of new technologies, products, and services, link building and website promotion entered into a whole new world.

Good old days of only submitting an URL to search engines to get higher ranking are long gone. Now not only submitting to search engines will not get your site ranked at all, there is no need to submit to search engines either. What was considered as a must and crucial is now totally obsolete!

Reason no one needs to submit their site URL to search engines anymore is because search engines will find your site and index them by following the backlinks. Since link building is of outmost importance in off-site optimization and promotion, you will need to do it anyways. So why worry with such method that has no benefit at all anymore?

Just like search engine submission being out of date, few other site promotion and link building methods are out of date or not as effective as they have been once. Some of these useless methods are Web rings signups, FFA site submissions, guestbook comments, link exchanges, etc. Lots of people are still using link exchanges without realizing that Google will discount links gained from link exchanges. It is against Google Webmaster Guideline to exchange links just for the sake of passing PR or link juice and Google works hard to catch and penalize such practices.

So what to do now and how to promote? If you cant get ranked anymore utilizing the methods that worked like charm once, where to turn to these days? The answer is Social Media Marketing and Web 2.0 link building.

How many social bookmarking sites are out there as of this date is anyones guess but you can utilize these bookmarking sites to bookmark your site and inner pages. Since these social bookmarking sites are public, link added on them are seen by everyone as well as by search engine bots. You not only get backlinks from social bookmarking, you get traffic from social sites as well.

Article submission is another Web 2.0 link building method. Again, there are countless number of article directories out there where you can submit your article. You can add anchor text backlinks on the articles you submit which makes this method a great way to build some relevant contextual backlinks.

There are lots of social media and web 2.0 sites like Squidoo, HubPages, Flixya, Weebly, etc where you can publish your own articles and link back to your sites. Since lot of these Web 2.0 sites are high authority sites in the eyes of Google, you get very high quality contextual backlinks by utilizing this methods.

You can also utilize social networking sites like YouTube, FaceBook, MySpace, etc as these sites are visited by millions of visitors each day. Just YouTube itself gets more traffic than Google. Get a simple video created and upload to YouTube. If you cannot do one with audio and video, you can setup a video using just images which will work just fine. If you can utilize the social and Web 2.0 sites properly, you will get stampede of traffic and plenty of backlinks to your site.

I have around 16 mentors I’ve been learning from and have spent many weeks and months studying all of my resources to maximize my online profit, site optimization, powerful (and free) marketing techniques etc, and have amassed a huge amount of knowledge, tools and resources over time.

Internet marketing is the process of promoting a certain product, service, or business over the web. It is actually a long and tedious process of promoting affiliate links, creating traffic, and sending over leads to the main website. 
For more details go to: www.tube-pros-espects.com If you do it right, you’ll be able to gain profits out of your chosen internet opportunity.

There are many techniques developed over time to boost internet marketing. Sear engine optimization is the primary strategy of most internet marketers these days. And there are many other techniques under search engine optimization. One of its main elements is link building.

Link building is a technique wherein you are going to distribute your website’s link over the internet. And again, this strategy has many techniques under it. You can distribute your web address in web directories, article directories, and other people’s blogs, even. However, the newest way to build links for your site is through social bookmarking.

Social bookmarking is a relatively new principle in website promotion. And as everybody knows, website promotion is the best technique in internet marketing. As you promote your website, you are promoting your product’s position as well. To promote a site through these sites, you just have to tag a certain page of your website over the sites that offer social bookmarking.

Such sites are deli.cio.us, Blink, and Furl. These are the most popular social bookmarking sites today and the better news is that it is free to sign up for each of them. The concept behind social bookmarking is that the more people tags your website, the more additional links you have in favor of your search engine rankings.

In social bookmarking sites, it is easy to send friends you saved sites and show them the things that are interesting enough for their profession, lifestyle, or their hobbies. These sites make it easier for people to share the good stories they stumble upon the internet to their friends. These sites eliminate the need to send emails to another person, which can be sometimes left ignored.

The whole idea behind social bookmarking sites is to have as many people as possible to tag your site. The more individual users saving the URL of your site in the public, active folders, the more links you have. But more than that, you also enjoy better traffic because there are higher instances of people finding your site and being directed to it. The more traffic you enjoy the better leverage you’ll have for your internet products.

Social bookmarking sites are yet another addition to the increasing need of people to find as many prospects as possible. The concept of such linking was developed after live bookmarks were released. The goal of these two link promotion strategies are relatively the same. For can visit to: www.internet-marketing-online-goldmine.com the only notable difference between them is only the fact that social bookmarking works a little better because it works both in your individual work station and over the internet as well.

If live bookmarks only aims to allow a website’s URL to be stored in your computer, social bookmarking goes out of the way to have that page stored in an internet page that is entirely your own. That page would contain all the stuff you found over the internet that you have intentions of using again in the future.

Social bookmarking would eliminate the clutter that you may create under the bookmark tab of your browser. Plus, it is very much easier to find the sites you have saved in a site rather than in the bookmarks folder of your computer. When these two concepts are compared side by side, social bookmarking sites would fair a lot better by many points.

Improve your product’s sales by putting the social bookmarking links under your every post, if you are maintaining a blog site. You can also put it under the content you have in your static website, if that’s what you have. Social bookmarking could easily replace the ’send to a friend link’ in your site. You don’t need scripting here. Everything is handled by the web 2.0 site of your choice. Your post can be sent to a friend or stored in the user’s personalized page or both, depending upon their choice. And it benefits two ways for you as an internet marketer. The site gets stored for search engine optimization and you also are getting substantial traffic through it.

Do you Squidoo? Do you create free traffic using Squidoo lenses?

Set Godin started the Original Squid almost ten years ago.

He created Yoyodyne, and for the first time introduces the idea if permission marketing online.

Yoyodine was acquired by Yahoo, Seth served as VP Direct Marketing for Yahoo for an year and since 2000 Seth Godin dedicated himself as a public speaker, an author and a blogger.

Among others, he wrote an eBook about traffic in which he introduce a term I like “deserved traffic” which is coming from content.
Yes, content is the king.

With the technology and software packages we have today is easy to build web pages, but we really need web pages which attract traffic. The eternal question: how do I get more traffic?

Seth Godin’s advice is we need the 3 U’s:

- unique

Whatever you create, a lens, a blog, a website, you are responsible for the 3 U’s and this is the long term solution for getting traffic which is the same as having quality content.

Search engines have sophisticated algorithms, they change frequently without any notice to the public at large. Some people invest a lot of time, work, and energy trying to trick the search engines, it is possible to do so, but it isn’t a long term solution.

What happened in July 2006 when Google decided to change the landing page algorithm to rank web sites was a lesson for all of us. It was painful for a lot of people who lost a good Google ranking over the night.

Google is on a mission to build a better web, and that action was a huge step in the right direction, a loud cry for quality pages! That was the Google way to clean up the web, to make invisible pages which aren’t useful, nobody update them and have information which aren’t unique in nature. With other words pages without content.

Prior to July 2006 I used PPC (pay per click) to drive traffic, since that day of infamy I begin to explore Social Bookmark which can produce free traffic for me.

My prefferate technique is to create Squidoo lenses in which I have links to my web sites, my eBay auctions, RSS modules, Amazon modules and a lot of interaction with the pubic interested in my topics via plexo modules.

Squidoo is a platform that lets anyone build a web page (called lens) about any topic which interest you, free, and in just a few minutes,

It is confusing for the beginning, but you can define a lens as your viewpoint on a topic. Lenses focus attention, drive clicks and even earn royalties.

The secret is – your lenses must be noticed by the public and if you have good content they will. Why, because:

- they are useful

- frequently updated and

- contains your unique expertize, point of view.

The successful lenses are the ones which follow Seth Godin’s 3 U’s rules.

I heard a lot of comments about how much you have to work on your lenses to continue improve and update them. The answer is yes and no! I hope you don’t expect to improve the visibility of your work doing nothing!

If you use proper techniques you can create lenses with dynamic allocation. Example, you can use:

- RSS module which change content at 6 hours

- Create a gallery of pictures with Flickr, all the time when you add a new picture in Flickr the change will be propagated in your lens which use that Flickr

- Amazon modules

- Voting using plexo modules

- eBay modules which change when an item is ended or you add a new item

All of those will refresh your content daily and in top of that when you have something new to say, yes, you will update your lens content.

I am very comfortable with Squidoo lenses and the traffic I generate for my personals links I put on them: my web sites, blogs etc. I really love Squidoo lenses, I have a lot of fun doing them, but I am an open mind and I use other sources to drive traffic like Social Bookmark techniques.

I use:

- Onlywise and so on.

In a nut shell, it is possible to create traffic without spending money with PPC, the content of your web sites, blogs, lenses, is the most important driving force for traffic, social bookmark is the second important technique you can use to generate free traffic, and always follow the rule of 3 U’s: useful, updated, unique.

Until the next time, all the best for you

Regards

Michaela

my article network

Social bookmarks can help any online campaign you are running or working with. You just have to realize there are many ways to use these bookmarks other than just bookmarking your landing page. Hopefully this article will shed some light on this subject in ways that you were previously unaware of. I will highlight the three most profitable ways to use social bookmarks. ” Bookmark ALL pages: I think the biggest mistake that people make when dealing with social bookmarking sites is that they bookmark the landing page of their website but not all the other pages. In my opinion you should load every page of the website and bookmark each of them individually. You should bookmark each page of content, each blog post and each image page. This way you can get ten or more bookmarks for each page instead of just one. More bookmarks equals more traffic which equals more profit for you!
” Social bookmarking ads: A lot of the social bookmarking sites offer you paid traffic. This means that you pay them a certain amount of money and they will send you so much traffic. One of the major bookmarking sites charges around $25 for 1000 hits. When you pay them the money your page is moved up in the rotation so to speak. So people who are interested in your niche will run across your page more often than they normally would. ” Joining niche groups: All the major social networking sites have groups that you can join. These are groups of people who also look for pages in your interest groups. These groups are a good way to get more targeted traffic to look at your bookmarked pages. These are just a few of the ways that you can use social bookmarks in more than just the normal way. The more you think about these outstanding services, the more ways you will think to use these services to drive very targeted traffic to any part of your webpage. Social sites; either networking or bookmarking are the future of Internet marketing and any online campaign that leaves them out is doomed to stay just a step behind the competition. Do not let this happen to you. Go and sign up for as many as you can. You can easily find the top 10 social bookmarking sites by using a Google search for them. You can also get software that automatically bookmarks your sites to all the major bookmarking services. So go out there today, get social and watch your marketing campaign shot through the roof.
