Social Media Marketing and Blogging – They’re Things You Just Need to Do!
by Chuck Swanson ~ March 8th, 2013
We’re constantly speaking to clients, prospects and friends about the power of social media and blogging. What kind of power and what ROI expectations usually become part of the conversation. I certainly understand the need to justify marketing spend; my marketing roots are in direct response, where measurement and ROI reign supreme. That said I think that too much focus is spent on ROI when it comes to social media marketing and blogging.

by Jason Nuss ~ February 8th, 2013

Make That… 8 Unpleasant Truths About Social Media
by Chuck Swanson ~ August 22nd, 2012
I recently got (and read) my Fast Company magazine’s September issue. You know… the one that had “Social Media is Sexy” on the cover.

by Chuck Swanson ~ July 18th, 2012
Just read the Business 2 Community blog by Melissa Agnes – Starbuck’s Lesson: A Social Media Attack Can Arise When Least Expected – and it highlights a social media marketing lesson that everyone who uses social media should understand clearly:
CONTENT MARKETING
Today, content and content marketing are playing a central role in online brand visibility. Without a steady flow of fresh, relevant, well-written content your site will not be maximizing its search engine presence.
Content can come in many forms, all of which – if optimized – can set your site apart from competitors, giving you better online brand visibility, but perhaps even more important – a voice. A seat at the table, as they say, brings thought-leadership which goes miles toward shrinking sales cycles and converting new business.
- Blogs – establish a blog and let prospects see your passion for what you do, how you do it, and who makes it happen
- Video – create video content and differentiate yourself. YouTube and Vimeo are great places, beyond your site, to create a presence
- Articles – write smart articles and syndicate them at article sites as well as distribute them to bloggers and publishers
- Press Releases – set up shot at PRWeb.com and PRLog.org and publish your press releases. Create a media center or integrate them into your blog for more robust, searchable content
- Enewsletters – interact with prospects, customers and partners and archive them on your site
These content ideas and more are what it takes these days. Explore our site to learn more or give us a call today to walk through countless content marketing ideas that will have you standing out from the crowd.
