I saw a question today asking how to syndicate blog posts most effectively, so here’s how I do it: Very simply, I set up a TwitterFeed account a while ago. This takes the RSS feed from my site. Within my TwitterFeed account I set up services to Facebook and Twitter (both require verification). TwitterFeed takes [...]

If you dropped into this site around a year ago you’ll have read that I was a big fan of Twitter for attracting readers. But over the past year my love for Twitter has withered. Why? Firstly: The search function no is longer as effective as it was. I used to search for people asking [...]

In the forums I visit regularly I constantly see people asking how to get more Twitter followers, or the best way to get more Facebook friends. Inevitably they’re looking for a system that will rack up hundreds (if not thousands) of new friends or followers in the blink of an eye. For no effort. Those [...]

There seems to have been some noise recently about balancing Social Media Marketing techniques with traditional Internet Marketing. And just as well. For a while people who were traditional Internet Marketers, writing long sales letters that were full of hype and yellow highlighting, didn’t get blogging, Twitter and the rest. Thought it was all pretty [...]

“Please post your answer on my blog”. That was the request at the end of a question I read on one of my social sites last week. I see similar requests on other sites. Things like ‘please visit my blog and leave a comment’. If there’s one thing that guarantees I won’t visit their blog, [...]

I reviewed an article I wrote about 11 months ago on the use of on-line Social Networking in business to see whether much has changed. What I found is that some things have changed, but the basic premise has not. You still have to recognise some basics and work with them, and you still need [...]

I was at a real-world social networking do last night and saw a perfect example of what not to do. I also saw a perfect example of how it should be done. The interesting thing is that, quite by chance, both these examples came from people in the same industry – they were both head [...]

A long while back I wrote an article here about social network marketing. As with anything on the Internet, things move on very quickly, and social network marketing is no exception. So here’s an update on what I do today to promote my blog through the social networks. About a year ago everything was about [...]

Here’s another question I saw in a forum this week: what’s the difference between Search Engine Optimisation and Social Marketing, or are they the same thing. Here’s the reply I offered: They are different things but Social Marketing will help your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) efforts, if you do it properly.

Note: I’ve recently written an update to this post – the link’s at the bottom. In this, the 5th in my series on how to promote your site for free, I’m going to take a look at Social Network Marketing. This, itself, is a big subject, so I won’t be covering it all today! You [...]

Social Network Marketing is the talk of the net at the moment but how effective is it? Really? It actually takes a lot of time and it also requires a different mindset about marketing. If you’ve read any of Seth Godin’s books, or his blog, you’ll know what I mean by ‘permission marketing’. Social network [...]

How do you use the Social Networking Sites to apply traditional (offline) network marketing to the Internet? That’s a question that arose a couple of days ago. Here’s the gist of my response: Social Network Marketing is about applying ‘traditional’ Network Marketing to the Internet. However, it works a little differently to off line network [...]

That’s an adaptation of a question I responded to the other day on LinkedIn. Among the other answers was a comment that the questioner had definitely been scammed (he’d dabbled in what he thought was Social Marketing and hadn’t got instant results), that social marketing was a fickle opportunity and a bottle of snake oil.

For anyone who still questions the value of Social Network Marketing take a look at this: Update 3rd December 2008: Jack Humphrey’s Social Power Linking site has been merged with his Authority Site Center site into a new blog training site called Blog Success. Therefore I’ve re-directed the Social Power Linking links below to Blog [...]

This CopyBlogger post from Brian Clark has finally set my mind at ease. Ever since I’ve been getting involved with the social network sites I’ve had this nagging feeling that I should be blogging on them – and if I wasn’t that the world was going to pass me by. But I never had any [...]
