  • 12 Critical Elements Every Homepage Must Have [Infographic]

    If you’re considering a website redesign or are wondering how to generate more leads from your website, there are several critical elements you must never forget to include.  Let’s first take a look at the homepage. Ah yes, “thee page of all pages.” It’s undoubtedly one of the most important areas on a website. That’s understandable; it’s a company’s virtual front door, and, in most cases, it gets the majority of the traffic. While homepages generally get the most love, I find it surprising that so many do a poor job of generating leads or…

    Youtube users are currently uploading an hour of content every second, or 60 hours every minute. Assuming 0.25% of all content being uploaded is great content, that’s 3.6 hours of amazing videos every day. That’s 25.2 hours of great content per week, with the average TV viewing in a UK household somewhere between 20 and 30 hours per week. Pretty amazing, and also why the follow-up attempts to enact laws such as SOPA and PIPA will occur with regularity in the U.S, and the influence of the U.S will be increasingly felt on every country around the world which might be encouraged or…

    In January 2011, Twitter wrote a fairly inspiring blog post entitled The Tweets Must Flow. In the entry, crafted by Twitter co-founder (and then creative director) Biz Stone and general counsel Alex Macgillivray, wrote about the importance of preserving “the open exchange of information”, and that “almost every country in the world agrees that freedom of expression is a human right”. Now, in a new update to this policy, Twitter appears to have done a one-eighty on its stance towards freedom of expression, as the platform now has the facility to withhold tweets from users in an entire,…

  • 5 Tricks for Generating Traffic When Nobody's at Work

    Melissa Miller

    Are you doing anything this weekend to generate traffic to your website? If you’re a B2B marketer, chances are you’ve probably asked yourself at some point: How do I keep marketing effectively when nobody is in the office? You want to continue to drive traffic and leads, but you don't know exactly how. The wrong thing to do is assume that nobody is listening on holidays or during weekends. Depending on your audience, this could actually be a good time for a new blog post, video release, or email. Data from a recent Xobni survey shows that people are still wired into work during…

    Walk into any active sales room, and it’s easy to tell how time-intensive most sales operations are. To make the hours spent worthwhile, it’s important to ensure that your sales team is only talking to the most qualified leads. Lead management is a strategy and set of corresponding tools that help companies filter out unqualified leads and better understand the buying cycle of their good leads. When executed well, lead management makes your marketing team more effective, your sales team more precise, and your leads happier. Lead management programs vary from company…

One important step you should take is publishing a thorough, thoughtful, quantitative monthly report on your marketing team's impact.

    TwitWipe gives you that fresh start you always wanted to have by removing all, yes all, of your tweets.  There is no archiving with this tool, the writer really means that it simply deletes everything and gives you that fresh start.  Now I did find a conflict in one of the description paragraphs below: Why not just delete the account and create a new one? Doing so will create a new user id (the numeric id). It’s going to be a separate, new account. All your followers and followees and flurries will be gone! That’s why you should use TwitWipe, because it lets you keep all your…

Unfortunately what was shows was a screen with a very bad pull of the profile picture and a number of people that supposedly unfollowed the account.  No times, no names, nothing.

    MentionMapp (from Vancouver) is a very cool way to see the spread and commonality of any username or hashtag mentioned on Twitter.  You can then see how those relate to other topics and users helping you build a visual indicator of relationships. Once the map builds, you can zoom in and out, click on a name or hashtag and the map recenters and expands again. Click and hold to drag around the map for larger ones when you are zoomed in.  You can share the MentionMapp with a simple retweet button since you must use oAuth to log in before using the service. Luckily they do not send out tweets…

Are they married or single? What jobs do they do? Which hobbies & interests? Who else do they follow?

    There’s a classic Bill Hicks routine which states that as soon as you appear in a commercial for a product, you are removed from the artistic cannon forever. And I struggle to think of a time when applying that role would have caused me to miss out on something particularly great – although the age-old tradition of celebrities popping up in seemingly random adverts in countries like Japan mean they may be some examples. But what happens when the stars aren’t human, but characters in a story which has become immensely popular and adopted by millions around the world with…

A comparison of three retail and social media experience sum it up nicely: Store 1: Uniqlo: I’ve heard various things about Uniqlo and browsed their stores, but this was the first time I’ve intended to make a purchase, having seen numerous mentions of their selvage jeans (Selvage refers to the method of stitching, if you’re not a denim geek).

    A massive and heinous crime has been committed by the internet against writers and artists. And it isn’t piracy, electronic distribution or increased competition for attention. If you really want to offend a creative person, just watch their response to the prose, film and art they create and love being referred to as ‘content’. First it was businesspeople talking about content as something to fill the empty space between adverts. Then those SEO types came along and messed around to game the search engines and fool users. And now there’s a growing army of marketing…

    A number of people have been sharing a cool video which features animated books moving around a Toronto bookstore. It’s named ‘The Joy of Books’, and it’s a well-made, enjoyable creation which is fun to watch, as you can now see: But possibly as a result of the title, a few people are using it as an example of why print is in some way superior to an electronic version. And that’s rubbish, quite frankly. There are two elements of books that elicit joy: What’s in the book What surrounds the book None of that is inherent to print, eReaders, parchment,…

  • Metrics Snapshot Tool

    Leslie

    Considering I’m writing Social Media Metrics for Dummies, I don’t talk about metrics often on this blog. Mainly that’s because I’m too busy helping clients figure metrics out in real life. I did want to take a minute to mention the Social Metrics plug in for you. It’s not a tool for deep metrics analysis but it is a great tool for quick content analysis – seeing what’s working for you as a social network, as well as what’s emerging as sharable topics on your blog. For example, you can see that Digg, as a whole, is not a social network where we…

When I started working for myself in the 90s I just wanted to work on something I loved doing and am great at. As my business grew I found my time increasingly divided between maker and manager and the budget strained (I talked about starting my business with no cash flow here). But I also found success for my clients,…

  • Sea Change In Knowledge and Education

    Leslie
    29 Dec 2011 | 3:40 pm
    Education has been on my mind the last year or so. On one hand we have this public push to devalue all college education for not being some kind of magic bullet leading to getting a job in a down economy. While I agree student loans and college prices have gotten out of hand, I think to devalue education and knowledge for not having enough immediate monetary “ROI” is something we will come to regret as a society. On the other hand we have knowledge for the sake of knowledge – completing something for the sake of having done so – these things have merit to individuals…

We’ve all read that one before, but today I’d like to prove to you that you can actually automate your Twitter account…. with a little bit of creativity. For some reason my attention is always drawn towards how airlines are using social media.

  • 7 tips to humanize your brand on Facebook

    Facebook is a personal social network, it’s where friends and family stay in touch, connect, update each other, etc. It was never made for business (until not long ago). However many marketers and brands treat it as another advertising medium to promote their product. Ssssstoopp it.. After starting a new brand on Facebook for my business, and learning from other brands, I thought I should share some methods that I’ve found to be effective in getting people to notice your brand. Let us start with one of the most controversial:1. Put a face on Facebook. Not all brands want to put their…

  • What’s ‘Best’ is What Works

    cselland
    25 Jan 2012 | 11:38 am
    I jumped into a discussion today on Focus.com where a community member asked the question “What’s the best time to post to social networks?” My answer, which built off fellow Focus Expert Andrew Baker’s, is that the ‘best’ time is when your audience is attentive and available – and when you have the right content. And those times depend – so it’s very difficult (and I’d argue impossible – or at least overly simplistic) to say something like ‘11:00 AM”. Which in turn got me thinking about the related and much-debated…

    While the EU is saying that SOPA was a bad law that no one needed  it seems that Ireland did not get the memo. According to legal experts in the Emerald Isle the government there is about to bring in a SOPA style law which is even vaguer and open-ended. The law in Ireland will allow music companies to order internet service providers to block access to websites. The Minister of State at the department of Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation, Sean Sherlock, claimed that the law is completely different to SOPA in America. It is just addressing the High Court judgment handed down by Mr Justice…

According to Reuters, China will expand real-name registration for microblog users in a bid to control China's wildly popular Twitter-like websites. While the officials admit that microblogs are useful as an outlet for critical public opinion, they are fed up with them spreading what they call unfounded rumours and vulgarities.

Tom Harris proved that he wouldn't last a day on Reddit by posting that one clip from Downfall which has been parodied at least a billion times.

What appears to have got he FTC's goat is the Google+ social networking service, which the FTC thinks might get preferential treatment from the search engine. According to Bloomberg,  quoting its special secret sauces, the FTC is investigating to see if Google's own services get treated better by its search engine algorithm.
