freely available websites that allow users to create and post their own
images, video and text information and then share that with either the
entire internet or just a select group of friends. Affilorama.com, January 22,

MARKETING?
 Using social networks to
increase brand awareness
 of your product/service.
Do you have the audacity to sit here and
 think this social stuff is not going to
impact your business when this stuff is
 overthrowing governments that have
 held regime for 40 years in the Middle
                  East?

Someone performing a "marketing" role within a company
must honestly convince people of their genuine intentions,
knowledge, and expertise in a specific area or industry
through providing valuable and accurate information on an
ongoing basis without a marketing angle overtly associated.
If this can be done, trust with, and of, the recipient of that
information – and that message itself – begins to develop
naturally. This person or organization becomes a thought
leader and value provider - setting themselves up as a
trusted "advisor" instead of marketer.

The secret of getting ahead is getting
 started. The secret of getting started is
 breaking your complex, overwhelming
tasks into small, manageable tasks, and
     then starting on that first one.

  • 22. Someone performing a "marketing" role within a company must honestly convince people of their genuine intentions, knowledge, and expertise in a specific area or industry through providing valuable and accurate information on an ongoing basis without a marketing angle overtly associated. If this can be done, trust with, and of, the recipient of that information – and that message itself – begins to develop naturally. This person or organization becomes a thought leader and value provider - setting themselves up as a trusted "advisor" instead of marketer.

  6. Also, don’t forget to put up a photo of yourself. It makes the relationship more personal. People like seeing a face.\n

  8. It’s important to note just how powerful social media has become lately.\n\nEgypt would not be free, SOPA would have passed.\n\nThe ability to exchange and deliver information via social media is its most powerful aspect.\n

  15. Let’s redefine Social Media and how to do it.\n\nThis is how you might word a job advertisement.\n
  16. If only two things, remember these.\n\nBecome the Trust Agent in your area of expertise.\n\n#McDStories\n\n#BeBold - characters related to RIM’s renewed marketing effort.\n

  24. Relationships lead to customers.\n\nTraditional marketing is up front about this goal. In social media, this relationships lead to this goal, but not always. Some people will never buy your product/service, but will be comfortable to pass along your contact information.\n\nIt is as much about becoming that Trust Agent as it is about making sales.\n
  25. Each has proper audience and context.\n\nBlogCatalog is a blog directory that is great for increasing your visibility.\n
  26. I use many of these, but for different purposes. Twitter/Tumblr/WordPress allow me to interact professionally. I use Facebook for personal connections, like friends and family. LinkedIn allows me to maintain former professional connections as well as make new ones.\n\nCan also use them to augment another social media outlet.\n\nYouTube for video and Flickr for Photos.\n
  27. Looks like a budding channel partner for retail outlets.\n\nSocial media platform will reach out to companies, e.g. advertising opportunities, contest.\n\nIf you are an apparel (or other) retailer, Pinterest might be a great way to meet new customers.\n

  30. Example of personal relationship.\n\nDon’t see her often, maybe once a year. Twitter allows us to maintain a relationship.\n
  31. Example of business/non-personal relationship.\n\nGet many responses.\n\nThe worse thing is not getting a response from someone or they are venting because you are absent on social media.\n
  32. Example of business/non-personal relationship.\n\nYou can “recommend” someone. Your stamp of approval. Be careful if you do not really know them.\n\nHave an acquaintance introduce you to someone you would like to meet. This makes your request to add them to your professional network easier. They may not know you well enough, but they trust the person introducing you. Great way to make new connections.\n
  33. Social media interaction I witnessed online.\n\nTeased major announcement the day before.\n\nGreat use of social media to make announcement. \n\nLined up other parties and knocked it out of the park.\n

  36. It’s how a seemingly insurmountable feat, becomes a series of small tasks.\n\nPeople ask how I became a programmer. Easy, I took a few classes. How did I learn new languages? I read a book.\n
  37. Social media interaction will often leverage more traditional information channels. The impressions may be free, but your entire marketing campaign works together.\n
