Enough Social Media?

Enough Social Media?

If you have not connected with a significant percentage of your targeted potential users of your product or service then that’s insufficient and you should continue your social media campaign.

So how much time and effort should you put into social media?

In my opinion, unless being on Facebook is how you earn your living or unless you’re looking for work, limit yourself, or the personnel who handle social media for the business, to one hour per day and no more than 5 hours per week. If you’re running an ad campaign on Facebook then you can deduct that time from time spent on social media as it’s time spent earning your living.

You can promote yourself on social media without logging in is by using “profile badges”. A profile badge is a link usually combined with one or more graphics that goes to your social media profile when clicked. Badges are used for Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Plaxo, WordPress, Google, MySpace, etc.

(1) Use social media badges, as well as your contact info and your business website URL(s) in your email signature.

(2) Put profile badges for your Facebook page and LinkedIn on your website.

(3) At the end of a press release or blog post, put your full email signature including your various appropriate badges.

(4) If you use vcards (virtual business cards) you can include links to your social media pages.

(5) Appropriate self promotion with industry news is better than a sales pitch.

(6) Provide information from other sources so that you make yourself a valuable resource.

Any questions on anything I’ve said, you can always Google it as a question (example “What is a vcard?”).

Give credit when you quote a source and strive to add value by making your social media page the place to go for industry info. For example, if you’re writing about Google then check YouTube for the latest GoogleWebmasterHelp.

In my opinion, a social media mistake for a business is to start playing games. “I got you a pink hairless piglet from Pigville” is beyond boring, it’s irrelevant and many people, especially employed people, find social media games obnoxious.

Remember, you want to keep it to 5 hours per week, right?

A savvy objective for your social media campaign is to build your reputation for providing quality industry information.

Take care, be well, have fun,

Have You Considered An Autoblog Website?

Have You Considered An Autoblog Website?

In addition to NumberOneOnTheList.com’s external SEO services, there are other search solutions available to you, such as YouTube video popularization and autoblogs.

What is Autoblogging? It is the term for blogs which automatically generate content, as opposed to the work of manually writing individual posts which you don’t have the time to do. A properly set up autoblog can perpetuate itself endlessly. If you want to post news from your business then you can do that as well.

Autoblogging works similarly to picking up a copy of the Times and reading a story that came from Reuters or API. A autoblog pulls relevant content from RSS feeds and posts it to the autoblog. The added value is having the selected relevant content presented in one place for the reader (and for the search engines).

An autoblog which is frequently updated with quality content and is running on the top rated open source blogging platform – WordPress – is one of the most effective search engine marketing strategies in use today. Google and other search engines easily index WordPress blogs because of the way that WordPress blogs are constructed, in categories, with a timeline and frequently updated content. In search, “Content is King.” Google is all about content.

The largest problem most bloggers and Internet marketers face is keeping their blogs updated with quality content necessary to dominate Google and other search engines. The amount of time and work that most Internet marketers exert into developing their sites leaves them exhausted and wondering why they ever embarked on such an effort initially. Now what if you heard that NumberOneOnTheList.com could provide you with a premium blog that was constantly refreshed with quality content automatically?

NumberOneOnTheList.com can provide you with high quality, professionally designed, automated blogs with ready-to-use plugins and features, set up for maximum visibility on the search engines.

A beautiful blog that represents your business well and will make a positive presentation to visitors and to search engine robot spiders (like the “Googlebot”) that look for new content to bring to the top of their rankings.

The landing page characteristic of the home page makes it very useful for making sure that your visitors see what you want them to see. People won’t get lost on your home page and you won’t lose them.

NumberOneOnTheList.com premium autoblogs are designed to provide Google and other search engines what they are looking for so they can rank your site high for your targeted keyword phrases. These sites are very strong for local business websites with the changes that Google made regarding their Google Places listings.

You will have a place to post information about your business to let the world know, a place where your public are more likely to see it.

Essentially, your autoblog is equipped to enhance your visiblity and bring highly targeted visitors to your blog from the top search engine rankings.

An additional benefit is that your existing site will also be brought up higher in the rankings and you will have more than one site occupying top ranking on Google.

A website combined with an autoblog enables you to
(a) achieve better rankings in search engines
(b) build your online presence faster
(c) offer more relevant information to your audience.

Are you considering an autoblog website?
