Build your online reputation and brand with social media

Whether you’re trying to build your career, open new doors to opportunity, or grow your business, the tools of social media can help you achieve your personal branding goals. You can establish your expertise and authority and build your own audience no matter who you are or where you are.

The following five steps to build your online reputation and brand with social media come from 30-Minute Social Media Marketing and apply to both business and personal brand development.

1. Begin with Branding
The first step to joining the digital age and starting your journey on the social Web is to evaluate your own brand promise. How do you want to position yourself in the marketplace and in front of your target audience? A focused brand is a strong brand, so determine your niche and use it as your primary brand message and image.

Your audience needs to develop expectations for your brand in order to develop loyalty to it and feel secure enough in your brand message to talk about it with their own friends and connections, particularly across the social Web. You must meet customer (i.e., audience) expectations in every brand interaction or people will feel confused and turn away from your brand in search of another that does consistently meet their expectations. Don’t let your audience get away. Determine your brand promise and position and stick to it at all times.

2. Create Your Branded Online Destinations
Once you know how you want to position your brand in the minds of your audience, you can create your own branded online destinations. The destination you choose to start with is up to you and depends on the types of tools you enjoy using and feel like you can stick with for the long-term. Start a blog, create a Twitter account and get on Facebook, and then play with the features and get a feel for which tools you actually enjoy using. Those are the tools you should focus on using as your original branded online destinations.

Most importantly, choose one branded online destination to be your core branded online destination. This is the place where all of your online content and conversations will lead back to. It will be the central hub of your online presence and will become the go-to place for people to learn anything and everything about your brand and writing business.

I recommend a blog for a core branded online destination because blogs are so search engine friendly and flexible, but the choice is yours. The most important factor is that your core branded online destination is kept fresh with new content that effectively represents your brand promise and invites interaction and sharing.

3. Find Your Best Audience
Who do you want to connect with online in order to build your business and/or career? You can engage with existing and potential clients, online influencers, experts, customers, and more on the social Web. You simply need to determine who you want to talk to and go out and find them. Visit Google.com and type in the keywords your audience is likely to use to find brands, businesses, content and conversations like yours. Follow the links. Chances are you’ll end up finding multiple sites where your target audience already spends time.

When you find your target audiences’ online hangouts, spend some time listening to the conversations happening on those sites. What topics are important to them? What gets them excited? This type of information-gathering is extremely valuable and allows you to create your own content strategy to best meet your target audience’s existing wants and needs.

4. Join the Conversation
Look for social destinations such as blogs, Twitter profiles, Facebook pages, forums and so on where you can interact with other people by publishing comments, asking questions, and answering questions. However, you must avoid self-promotion. No one will want to engage with you if you spend all your time trying to sell your writing products and services.

Instead, apply the 80-20 rule of marketing to your activities, and make sure at least 80% of the time you spend on social media activities is not self-promotional and only 20% is self-promotional.

In time, those audiences will get to know you and develop expectations for your conversations. Eventually, you can lead them back to your own branded online destinations through links to related content. There you can deepen relationships. It’s this type of relationship-building that enables you to develop a band of brand advocates online who will talk about your brand and defend your brand against naysayers. There has never been a more powerful form of word-of-mouth marketing, and you can tap into it thanks to the social Web!

5. Publish Shareworthy Content

How do people find information in the 21st century? Do they pick up the printed Yellow Pages directory or go to the library? No. They log into their computers or pick up their smart phones and visit www.Google.com where they type in keywords related to the business, product or information they want to find. You need to be represented in search results when people search for keywords related to your business or area of expertise!

One way to make sure you’re effectively represented is by publishing amazing content that people want to talk about and share with their own connections. In time, you’ll benefit from what I call the compounding effect of social media. The more content you publish, the more entry points there are for Google to find, index and deliver in search results.

If your content is amazing, people will read it and talk about it on Twitter, their own blogs, and so on. This conversation not only boosts word-of-mouth buzz about you, but it also creates more incoming links to your content. More incoming links mean more ways for people to find your content across the web and higher search rankings from Google.

Coming Full Circle
Your social media participation cannot be one-sided. You need to focus on building relationships, getting on people’s radar screens, and indirectly marketing yourself, your brand, and/or your business. Remember, quality trumps quantity, so don’t spread yourself too thin. Organic growth of quality followers will deliver the best long-term growth results. Every day that you wait to join the online conversation is a missed opportunity.

PROOF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING WORKS…

In October 2009, Michael Stelzner started Social Media Examiner, a blog for marketers and small business owners. Almost overnight, his site became one of the top business blogs in the world.
He didn’t advertise, didn’t rely on the press and almost none of his traffic came from search engines.
Slightly more than a year later, his site has more than 57,000 email subscribers, over 31,000 Facebook fans, a half-million page views a month, and has generated nearly $2 million in sales.

Everything he does focuses on delivering high-quality content coupled with intelligent social media marketing.
Michael’s story is not unique. A significant 73% of business owners and marketers plan to increase their use of social media in 2011 (2011 Social Media Marketing Industry Report).

How to get offline marketing clients

The Easiest Way To Get Clients Is To MAKE Them Come To You! No More Rejection. No More Uneasiness. No More Cold Calling.

We recently discussed how to use your facebook account to drive hordes of traffic to any website you want and I felt the need to add something further that any internet marketer can implement right away to make more money. I just love to give my readers great content and I know you want to make some extra money don't you?

Here's something to consider........

Have you ever thought to take your Internet marketing skills offline, where the real *big* money is?

Let me tell you a little secret. Business owners don't know jack about search engines...
Or pay per click...
Or social media...

They do know one thing, though. That the future of their business is online!
They see it every day. CNN. ABC. At board meetings...
People bustin' out their cell phones to check they're email.
Or their workers doing a Google search for an answer to a question that they need to actually call someone for.

These business owners go into their offices, shut their doors, and wonder just how they'll be able to get online...

Well, my buddy, Jason Drohn, has this download that you can grab called, "Your 1st Client."
It's all about how to pick up your first marketing client so you can tap into those offline business owners who *have* money and are willing to spend it.
Click the link below and grab it:
Check out Your 1st Client here

Think about it. These offline marketing clients are happy to spend $$$$$$$$s every month to get their site in the search engines.
Do you think they should spend that with you?
Or the next guy?
Jason's training will show you how to pick these clients up at will...
Best yet, it's totally introvert friendly.
So if you're worried about cold calling or belly-to-belly sales techniques, don't be! You don't need 'em.
Make sure you grab it before it goes offline..

Is The Power of Facebook Crushing Myspace?

Another Social Trend You Should Be Aware Of

I was recently reading on Digg that Myspace recently lost over 10 Million users in a month at the start of this year. (way to go facebook)  You can search for the story on Digg or see the story right here ==> Facebook loses 10 million users in a month

Latest statistics suggest attempts to kick new life into MySpace may be failing. Tech industry analysts comScore say figures show MySpace lost more than 10 million unique users worldwide between January and February. There were almost 63 million users of MySpace in February 2011, down from more than 73 million.

Year on year the site has lost almost 50 million users, down from close to 110 million in February 2010.
The loss of users comes despite a series of changes to the site to make it more about music.
It was the social network site that helped launch the careers of artists like Arctic Monkeys, Kate Nash and Lily Allen. But so far this year MySpace has already announced plans to cut half its workforce.

Falling numbers
 
Around 500 staff are going worldwide.

Five years ago it was booming and for many was the first place to visit to talk to friends and listen to music.

But the arrival of sites likes Facebook has changed the face of social networking.

In the UK, 2.3 million people used the site in February 2011.

Rupert Murdoch's News Corp bought the company for £330 million back in 2005.

If they were to sell today, they might get as little as £50 million for it.

MySpace boss Mike Jones has been putting a brave face on the falling numbers.

He said the site is no longer a social network and is instead an "entertainment destination".

But with competition from YouTube, streaming services and increased file-sharing it faces tough times.

What does this mean for Facebook?

It only means one thing, Facebook will continue to grow at the expense of Myspace. Smart people are moving to Facebook and that means more opportunities for making money with Facebook.

The Benefits of Facebook Ads

SEO vs. Social Trends 

Facebook’s biggest benefit is its most obvious. It operates through social networking and trending rather than pure SEO – the  hottest trend of this brand new decade. It allows readers to see your ads on their mobile phones – and mobile devices now out number personal computers, 4 to 1!

It is also cheaper than Google AdWords, and while the latter is still a wonderful way to kick-start a campaign, AdWords can be risky for newer marketers, as costs per click can skyrocket faster than your sales. Will it replace AdWords completely? That shouldn’t be your goal! Plan further down the line to do what the big boys and girls do: Kick-start each campaign with well-optimized and researched AdWords.

Facebook vs. Adwords Costs

  Whether you use Adwords (SEO based) or Facebook ads (social networking based), Facebook ads nowadays are a “must” – particularly with the not-so-subtle switch over to mobile devices! But it’s great for beginning marketers because at the moment, it’s significantly less expensive to advertise on Facebook than with PPC!

Graphics Capability 

It’s other biggest benefit is that you can introduce a graphic element or photo into what is basically just a small text ad! Since Facebook is “tuned” to graphic elements, and interest has been shown to
peak when graphics are displayed, it wins hands-down over AdWords tired, irritating banner ads (traditionally low converters for over a decade). (You could simplify it like this: Want a text ad only? 
 Use AdWords. Plan to use a graphic? – Use Facebook Ads.)

Text Capability

You have 75 words to say what you want to say in Google AdWords (that’s less than half a tweet!) Facebook ads not onlyallows you a 25-character headline, but 135 words of body text, too. (That’s over double Google AdWords’ capacity – but note; spaces count.)

That's all for now on the benefits of Facebook ads, We hope you continue to stick around and learn more social media cash tactics in the coming months.

Making Money in Facebook - Developing Facebook Applications

Facebook developers make big money

Developing Facebook Applications.
Making money in Facebook is great for application developers as Facebook likes features such as music videos, horoscopes, chat rooms, careers, and instant messaging functions. Facebook may actually be the real deal where experienced developers can be rewarded for their hard effort of making useful applications. Making money in Facebook is great for game developers because games generally have a high click-through ratio.

Developing Facebook Applications is a good way to make money in Facebook. If you are experienced in developing useful applications for the social networking site Facebook, consider it as a free opportunity to make some cash. The most biggest ever sold application from Facebook was the application “Where I’ve Been” that has been sold for $3,000,000.

Nowadays, you could find that many people are willing to hire experienced Facebook app makers to make a useful Facebook application in reminiscence to this deal in hopes of making it big.
Most Bloggers already have their own Facebook pages because large social networking sites like Facebook, can make a huge impact on sales.

The opportunities with a traffic-heavy site like Facebook are endless. Facebook is a huge community where users from anywhere around the world can socialize and share tips, ideas, and more? Knowing that Facebook is a free social networking site that anyone can use, sets many opportunities for many individuals to benefit, both socially and financially depending on which way you approach it.
