Social Media Is The Marketing Power of YOU

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing.

A Beginners Guide To Social Media Marketing And The Effects Of The Power Of "YOU"!...

Picture by: Gary Koelling.

Before we get into how to use social media marketing, first of all you need to understand that of the heck is social media and why is becoming so important for any size business, online or offline to get involve in it. Web 2.0 which is the technology behind social media is more than just a fancy code word or lingo from the Internet, was the beginning to a new era of personal interaction, business transparency, and permission marketing, plus:

• Information distribution.
• Communication.
• Content interaction.
• Content creation.
• New Internet marketing strategies.
  
• Brand marketing.
• Buzz or viral marketing.
• Market authority.
• Credibility building.
• Team collaboration.
• Online reputation management.
• Journalism.
• Online content sharing.
• New laws of social ethics.
• New spam movements.
• New SEO strategies.
• New traffic generation tactics.
• Clever web innovations.
• And new money making markets and trends.
  

Please if I forgot any other benefit of social media please share it with us through the comment link above or bellow this post.



In Plain English.

This new communication medium is not other thing than the new way to create online content with easy to use publishing tools. This new Internet technology put the power of content on people "YOU", by helping you distribute, share, find new information that would it be hard or maybe impossible to discover without it.

In this new Internet you aren't just a reader anymore, you became an instant publisher...

Now social media marketing is the effective way of using web 2.0 tools to interact with potential customers and with net authorities that can help you spread the word about your company or product.

Here is a great video I found on YouTube that can help you understand this in plain English:



Hope this video gave you a clear "in plain English" explanation about how this new net evolution works.



The Power Tools.

One of the thing that make this sociology + technology era so useful and popular are the tools available to you, that can help you find, create, distribute, and share information in a very easy fashionable way. Some of those tools are:

1. Blogs services like Blogger or Wordpress.
   
2. Micro-blogging like Twitter.
   
3. Podcasting like BlogTalkRadio & Talkshoe.
   
4. Video sharing sites like YouTube and Revver.
5. Picture sharing sites like Flickr and Twitpic.
   
6. Social networks like Myspace or Facebook.
   
7. Social bookmarking like Digg or StumbleUpon.
   
8. Question and answer sites like Yahoo Answers.
   
9. Social commenting sites like Blerp.
10. Custom Social networks like Ning.
11. Content sites like Squidoo or Google Knol.
12. Content syndication technology like RSS and Atoms.
    
13. And much, much more...
    

There are tools that help you collaborate on a project, others let you share files and documents publicly or with a team. Also you can find tools that are targeted to professional and business use like Linkedin and PartnerUp.

Marketing That Works.

So, how can you make this new medium of communication work for your business? Is there a secret sauce for success? You may already heard many different marketers talking about the power of this medium, and how it can be use to make money online and send a lot of targeted web traffic to your blog or site. But...

The Fact is: "Traffic that comes from web 2.0 sites don't convert good. If you really want to make money online you need to focus on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or SEM (Search Engine Marketing), which refers to PPC or pay-per-click advertising."

Now this doesn't mean that you need to stay away from using this new medium to generate quality leads for your business or product. You can easily use it to:


- Increase branding exposure.

- Generate extra traffic of pre-qualify prospects.

- Generate branding buzz.

- Build new business contacts.

- Connect with potential joint venture partners.

- Connect with potential link partners.

- Also you can have community authorities to recommend you to there audience.



This new medium can be really effective as soon you use the right strategies, which need to be focus on a specific goal. So, before jumping in and start creating a profile on every community network you can find, you need to have the answer for each of the next 2 questions.

1. What's your goal from the use of social media? Which is, what you really want to achieve from it. Then...

2. What strategies are you going to use to get to those goals?


After you answer those to questions, the next step is to write down a strategic marketing plan for each goal, this way your efforts will be focus on action steps that eventually will taking to your final goal. For example: If you want to use social bookmarking sites to gain exposure and one way back links to your site so you can increase your search ranking then you need to plan how you are going to bookmark your content, what type of sites are you going to share, which content will be better to bookmark and how many links per day are your going to share. All this and more needs to be in your action plan. Here are some bookmarking tips you can use right now.

Another thing I recommend beginners is to use automation tools that can make your job easier, if you don't know where to find them I will give you a complete list of tools by the end of this week.

Zimbio Increase Blog Traffic: Internet Marketing Tools

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing Tips.

Learning How To Increase Blog Traffic Is One Of The Internet Marketing Challenges That Every Entrepreneur Have To Face... Well, Zimbio Can Ease Your Blog Marketing Efforts!

I've been using the free blog marketing tool called Zimbio for quite some time and I have to revealed that at first it just look like another article distribution site or directory, but it's not. Zimbio is a complete content management, marketing, distribution, and social news site that can really improve your traffic, not just by sending targeted visitors from their daily readers, but because it give you a lot of one way back links to your blog home page, and to make it this Internet marketing tool a must use for every online entrepreneur blogging out there it also can rank your content pages on top spot of search engines like Google.

Just to give you an example of the power of Zimbio, just imaging that you write a great post targeting a long tail keyword and even after using ping services, and submitting your site to blog and RSS directories you still don't achieve the top position on the SERP, well if you submit your blog to Zimbio you will get automatic traffic from wikizines (that's the way the site call their content sub-categories) readers, plus you may also get top search engine rank for the long tail keyword that you were targeting.

So, as you can see is an excellent Internet or blog marketing tool that actually works, and is absolutely free!

The service let you submit as many blogs or content sites (like articles sites) as you can as soon they have valid RSS or Atom feed links, which opens a good opportunity for you to generate traffic to all your blogs even if they haven't get any Google love yet.

I wouldn't be recommending this marketing service if I knew that the web traffic that they can deliver is not targeted. The truth is that you can get a lot of high targeted visitors to each of your sites or blogs by simply submitting your content to the right Wikizine. There is more than one zine for almost every niche and sub-niche, plus you can create your own one if there isn't one for your subject. Also, if you want to have your own wikizine on your subject you can do that too.


What's Important In Internet Marketing?

If you are new to this Internet marketing blog, I need to point that any good money making campaign need to have two important factors, strategic link building and content distribution. You need to know that the best web traffic comes from search engines, that's why SEO or search engine optimization have its own industry, because is one of the most powerful response generating Internet marketing channels available to online marketers, and if you want to make money online blogging or by using other type of websites you need to master search marketing which involve SEO and PPC (Pay-Per-Click).

Why? Because there is where people that is ready to spend money or ready to click on your Adsense ads are. That's why I don't write for the social community I write for search engine users, those looking for the type of information I have to offer here, not for blogger or visitors from social sites. The truth is that to make money online you need to become an Internet marketer not blogger.

Don't get me wrong, you can use social media or web 2.0 marketing to build links and online authority and you can monetize the traffic that they send you, but you real income will come from the search engines.


How Much Increase In Blog Traffic Can You Expect?

This depend on your activities on Zimbio. The submission process becomes automatic after you add your blogs RSS or Atom feed URL to the system and the service will decide on what wikizine to post your content, which does it by relevancy. But, to make this marketing tool work better you can check at least twice per week and submit your content manually to the zine that is closely related to your information.

This can really boost the amount of visitors you get to your blog or site and the quality of each of them, which is very important to increase your revenue per site and conversion rates per visitor.

To get more advice about how to increase blog traffic visit the Internet Entrepreneurs Club.

In Conclusion: I personally recommend you to use this Internet marketing tool to promote your blog and content, it work fast, you get positions on search engines that you haven't get yet, or an extra position for the same keyword, and most important you get highly targeted visitors, which mean better conversions.

To your success,

Yahoo Buzz Sucks

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing Tips.

Bye, Bye To Yahoo Sucks, I Mean Yahoo Buzz! Yeah The New Social News Rating Site Have Big Problems...

If you got Yahoo Buzz working on your site the right way, you are one of the few lucky ones, or maybe you are one of the few sites invited for the closed doors beta testing. Well, the service is now open to the public, and Yahoo say that publishers can submit their stories or articles to let their users vote for it just like StumbleUpon.

At first the sign up process sounds very easy, if you already have a Yahoo account you can use it to sign-up for their "Buzz" social news bookmarking service, another thing that makes people go for it right away is that Yahoo Buzz community has a lot of very nice people, which is way better from what Digg offers, where the community is just an online social news portal full of geeks, nerds, and want a be's, that only concern is tech stuff.


The Code.

Yes, you can just copy and paste the code on your website or blog... But, they forgot to tell you that even the easy code needs customization. Now, if you really want to customize the code, so it will work automatically with your article pages, you can by following the instruction. Then, the only thing you need to do is to submit your content to Yahoo Buzz or way until someone does it for you. Yes, one simple click and done, or least that's their promise!


The Hook.

Come on, did you think Yahoo will invest money to build a powerful social bookmarking site without a hook? They know that for the service to have the viral marketing effect it needs to be a strong one, which in the case of the search giant, by just promising that your site will be on their Buzz service is enough, knowing the amount of traffic they receive everyday. But, they wanted to make it irresistible, so they come out with an even better deal. If your story or article get popular enough by getting a lot of buzzed up from users, your article can be feature on the Yahoo homepage, how crazy that can be, eh! What a hook!

Excellent social media marketing tool, because of the web traffic power that can deliver to your site is huge, maybe will not give you SEO help but the traffic that you can get from the site along is more than enough.


So, Why Yahoo Buzz Sucks?

The answer is simple, because none of those thing can work if your content can't get Buzzed! The buttons don't work, their story submission form don't work, which make all those promises a bunch of crap.

You can expect to use a web 2.0 or social media marketing tool if it doesn't work... Come on guys, let's put some smart people work on it and fix this social news site that has the potential to be way more popular than Digg and StumbleUpon.

Autopinger Is Back From The Dead

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing Tips.

Who Killed Autopinger The Management, Lack Of Money, or Cheap Hosting Servers? Well, Is Back From The Dead. But, For How Long?

A few weeks ago every time me or any of my associates try Autopinger to ping our blogs after an submitting a new post, Autopinger failed to function, and then we got a white page, like those error pages, but with a message to the webmasters letting them know that their hosting service has been cancel. It was a very annoying message for bloggers like you and me that really liked the service.

There could be many reasons why the service and their website was out of reach, maybe they didn't make enough money from Adsense or affiliate program endorsements to cover for their hosting, I don't know this can happen to them, knowing that they are a top choice next to Pinomatic on natural search engine results. Or they maybe have some management problems, or they pass the web hosting bandwidth limits and the hosting company shut down the site until they paid the extra bucks needed to keep the service online, if this was the reason they better change hosting providers. Well, the good news is that the service came back from the dead and is now alive and working with no problems.

Autopinger is indeed one of the best blogs and content feed ping service, but after what happen you need to be careful and have a good list of back up ping services you can use in case they decides to take a vacation or die with no signs of returning to live again.

Here are some good alternative:

• Ping -o-Matic.
• Ping My Blog.
• Pingoat.
• Bloggers.

Also check "Online Multiple Services Blog Pingers" for a bigger list of ping services you can use for free.

If your blog runs on wordpress, you need to know that the automatic pinging feature has problems, because it ping your blog every time you edit a post, which create spam ping action that can get your content unlisted from top blog directories like Technorati. There is a plug-in that can fix this:

- MaxBloggerPress Ping Optimizer.

Google Knol Problems

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing And Make Money Online Tips.

Google Lunches Excellent Content Publishing Service Called Knol... If It's Good, What's The Problem?

Google finally make launch Knol, which is their new content management service, which is aim to target Digg, Wikipedia, Squidoo, and other top definition and "how-to" websites. Now that Google Knol is open to the public many people is jumping into the wagon to try to make a buck out of it, but there is also many people that really wants to contribute quality content just to help people understand more about a topic.

Knol is indeed a great tool to deliver your content and gain authority among your niche... Plus, Google is letting contributors to profit from their content pages, adding their own Adsense account information into the system.


Knol Monetization Problem.

Many bloggers are having a big problem with this part of the Google Knol content publishing program. Because, this will pulling a lot of people who think they are entrepreneurs to try to write articles full of trash just gain search ranking momentum, and make money from each Knol subject they write about.... Many are afraid of the spamming that the service is going to generate.

That's why I created the "Knol This" blog to help and to inspired people to use Knol service in an ethical way, not just to make money... Actually I'm not going to even talk about making money with Knol. But, as a Internet marketer I can't close my eyes before this tremendous web 2.0 article marketing tool. That's why I going to help you use the service to build trust, credibility, branding, industry authority, and targeted website traffic.

My focus is n the content. With a simple formula:

- Quality: Provide articles that are worth reading.

- Unique: Don't copy content from other sites like Wikipedia, be original, add on instead.

- Creative: Don't go for the single words, be creative and engage your readers.

- Targeted: Be specific, and keep your article focus in a single topic.

- Detail: Short articles won't do the magic, be a wiki type of resource.


Google don't have the potential of generating massive income like Squidoo does, with the integrated affiliate programs that can be easily target to almost any niche. Squidoo delivers higher return on investment or ROI, because you make money on each sale, not a few cents per click. Plus, Squidoo can be optimize to get high search engine ranking, with just a few links back and up to date content.

We don't want this:
- Aaron Wall View About Google Knol.
- Google Knol Is Here.
- Google Knol: A Step Too Far.

Here is part of what Techcrunch have to say about this new web 2.0 service:

Knol that will combine parts of Wikipedia and Squidoo to create a new user generated authoritative online knowledgebase of everything.

All the details aren’t fully clear yet. What we do know is that Google will offer a revenue share from each page: “If an author chooses to include ads, Google will provide the author with substantial revenue share from the proceeds of those ads,” although we don’t know at this stage how much. We know that unlike Squidoo or other sites who offer a percentage share of advertising revenue, Knol cuts out the middle man. Think of it this way; presuming Google normally splits 50% (no one knows the exact number, at it changes at different levels) of revenue from an Adsense unit with a normal publisher, in the case of someone like Squidoo or even a blog with writers writing on a rev share model they then get a percentage of the 50%; Knol on the other hand could offer a proper 50% of the actual original cost of the ad, not a percentage of the percentage: that is not only a great big advantage, it’s also verging on unfair competition.

Knol Search Engine Ranking Problem.

You may think that isn't a problem after I tell you that Knol surprisingly ranks very good in Google, hummm.... what a rep booster! Don't you think? That's why bloggers think Knol is evil, and is here to ruin your hard work. By taking top natural search positions, and take some of your income away.

In the other hand, thinking of Knol as a new type of article publishing and distribution tool will help you generate quality web traffic, build authority in your industry which make your prospect comfortable in doing business with you. You are going to get to this point by apply my content formula, which is the same for articles. And yes, Knols is an excellent web 2.0 article marketing tool, that have a lot of Google love for.
