Social Marketing

We’ve been talking a bunch lately about what’s coming in 2009; your goals for the coming year and predictions in the internet marketing and social media world.
Goals are fantastic.  Looking forward to where the market is going helps you stay ahead of the curve.
But none of that matters if you’re not putting out content…  Content [...]

While I can hardly believe it’s nearly 2009, I’m prepping for a fabulous year - and I hope you are too!
My plans have much to do with a few trends that I see as becoming even more prevalent in the coming year, and I wanted to share them with you.  So, with no further delay [...]

Paul, Ed, Lynn and I discuss the perils (ok, it’s just scary for me, being a total hermit) and benefits of arranging in-person local meetups within your niche and attending conferences.  Plus, we kill the “nofollow” debate for good on two levels, technical and mindset.

“Did Obama beat McCain with social media or did Obama just beat McCain within the social media space?”
That the question raised by on commenter on my last post, “Are You Convinced Yet?” by Lägenhet who wrote:

I hope that tonight’s election results will quell one argument - if only one.
That being that social media is, in fact, a powerful medium on which to market your brand.

What an amazing conference!
(I’ve never bothered attending an internet marketing conference before, but I couldn’t resist this one).
Dan Raine & Ed Dale of the Immediate Edge did a fabulous job providing KILLER content - one technique I came home, fired up my computer and am killing a niche with RIGHT NOW.  I was so excited [...]

I’m heading out to the “Over the Edge 2″ conference (way too early) on Saturday morning.  Now, I don’t, as a rule, attend conferences because they’re usually far away (like Orlando) and most of the time I can get more work done at home rather then galavanting across the country.
