Promote Yourself, Not Your Product

People are blind to advertising. That's why you need to offer him solutions (advices, support) to his problems but not products.

Thanks - a great post. I especially liked the bit about networking before trying to market in a community. You really need to get a feel for the community otherwise it can all go quite wrong.

Social media

Social media has truly revolutionised how we market our websites on the inernet. There are many social networking websites, blogs, forums and bookmarking websites that are successful. It is time consuming and not feasible to choose eacha nd every site and market your profile. Different sites work for different needs. It is about getting a mix that works best for you.

Nice thing..

As you say in #7 - you are judged by the people you mix with.

Creating the hook

One of the elements of social marketing is creating the hook. No matter what topic you cover in your website there will be many scary competitiors. To effectively compete with them ,you need to create the hook, you need to tell how you are different from whole alot of others.

Social Media: Quickly Becoming My Favorite Method...

That was a fresh and to the point insight.

There were three that stood out to me though.  I thought that they were all good tips, and I'll probably use them all.  But here are my favorite 3:

1. Go where the fish are.  We all remember fishing for hours and not catching a thing but that old boot at the bottom of the lake.  Go where the comments and discussions are abundant.  This is so powerful when you consider web 2.0 to be a viral method.

2. Promote yourself / image, not your product.  How many people do we see promoting Viagra and other crap that we really don't need? ( O.K., I'll just speak for myself)  But your image and personality are what make you unique, so stick with what you know.

3.  Big companies should start using social media.  Although I agree with you, and would definately have a team dedicated to just web 2.0 marketing if I had a huge million dollar company, I hope they don't.  Personally, I hope they just continue to spend millions of dollars on AdWords and other marketing methods.  Let them talk down on social networking.  That leaves more fish for us...

SOCIAL MEDIA : SOCIAL BUZZ RULES

Hi Rich,

Yeah great insight on Social Media.

Few points from my side:

# Social Media should be targeted and should not be spammed

# Social Tehcniques must be linked to the subject and must be relevant which can drive targeted traffic

# Social Videos are the best way to promote

# Combining communities in Social can lead to exposure of new innovative people and experts all around the world which can contribute lots of resources for which users look for.

# Live, Real time users are avaiable via social which is the best part - Communication would be instant and traffic can be driven instantly

# Q & A can be sought out itself in Social by ENGAGING  say  "Social Meetup"

Social Meetup, Social Networking, Social Bookmarking, Social News, Social Videos, Music  relate to SOCIAL MARKETING WORLD

There are many and many strategies but for that u need to involve with USERS .

 

Thanx

Social Media Marketing comment

I deal with 100's of models that are promoting themselves via social networks and much of the info in the article you have on this subject strikes home.

I see way to many of them joining just about any networking site some one tells them about.

With their sole purpose seeming to see how many friends they can add and they forget that they should maybe concentrate more on the marketing side than how many folks they really don't know that they add.

I am on MySpace myself with the purpose being to network with models that want more real exposure for their websites if they have one..pay sites etc...but even though this info is front and center on my page I get add me request from models that then e-mail me asking what we do...what?

They complain they get to much mail and can not reply but yet they try to use their pages to promote their business as a model and spend more time every day posting add this new hot friend of theirs but do not reply to those such as myself that really are looking for them with a valuable resource they should connect with.

With over 2500 "friends" on my list more than 1/2 being models..10% are actually girls that reply to application invitations I may personally send to add their info to my site, the rest I see posting bulletins every day then maybe e-mails about they are to busy for anything else.

My suggestion as related to this side of social media is to those in this field..pay attention to who is adding you, who you are asking to add you and make some type of plan on how you will screen important network mail and contacts that should be 1st you pay attention to.

networks and content

The most important thing we tell clients is to build the network first, and then push content out to it. We have a methodology you can use:
