Social Media Done Right - A Contest That Helps Promote Your Business

A few days back, I received an interesting email from Start Up Nation. This site is an absolutely tremendous source of information for the beginning entrepreneur. I discovered this site several months back while doing some research. I liked the site enough that I became a member. The site has become a friend of sorts. I have visited often over the last four months. The site is definitely jammed with great information. They send me periodic updates. When I saw their email in my inbox I quickly… Continue

6 Examples of How the Social Media Could Cost You a Job

At New Media Hire we are asked so many times the questions are asked "Why didn't I get the job?" or "I have everything they need for the job so why no offer?”.

Social Media Works… Is It Working For You?

As internet marketers may of us struggle to get a handle on how to effectively market in a social media web 2.0 world. Social media is about building relationships. It is very difficult to sell someone when you haven’t built trust through a relationship. We all get hit up by over aggressive marketers on social sites. You know, those who welcome you to a site and then start selling you something. We also get friends requests from people who have never contacted us before. With this in mind I did… Continue

Social Media Jobseekers Call?

I've been toying with the idea of a conference call for social media candidates. This would be a monthly call where people looking for work in the industry get on and ask questions or share information on their job search. Is that something we'd be interested in doing? I have a free conference line, but like all ideas, it only makes sense if there's interest. Comment or email me below. Continue

Getting The Cart Before the Ox – Or How To Do Social Media Wrong!

I have recently launched a social networking site in Tucson that is geared towards both profit and non profit businesses. I have also joined a slew of social media sites this year as part of The 109 Day Link Building Explosion Program. The program is based on what I call “scratch my back marketing. The whole idea is to make networking and branding the cornerstones of any social media effort. If you are l… Continue

The Demise of the Do Follow Lists

Hell-o members, Just about anyway that you would search for Do Follow blogs and lists you'll find my website. It is usually in the top 3 and it has been there a long time.

Leave your room and meet new people

This is a repost from my blog : http://bit.ly/PznW

The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. ~ Carl Jung
Social interaction via the internet will only get you so far. I would highly recommend leaving your room and finding events or meetups to meet real people in real time.

Bravo for Bravo's Social Media Execution

I haven’t been watching Bravo’s “Housewives of…” franchise but I sure have heard all the buzz. Last week Mashable covered Bravo’s excellent use of social media tools and successful virtual viewing party. Jennifer Van Grove wrote: With these numbers, Bravo’s foray into interactive live streaming of traditional TV-only content isn’t likely to be their last. We can only hope that more networks will start experimenting with online broadcasts that tie in audience participation using our favorite soc… Continue

Too Many Tweets?

I can’t stop thinking about Venetian composer Antonio Salieri. If you’re not a student of classical music you may know him as Mozart’s nemesis in Peter Shaffer’s film “Amadeus.” “Too many notes,” was his review of a new piece by Mozart. “Too many notes.” If you’re like me, and I suspect there must be a silent majority out there, you must be wondering how any one person finds enough material to power dozens of tweets each and every day.… Continue

Agent Provocateur Using Social Media

I’ve spent a lot of time working with game changing, female driven businesses – several of which have walked a very fragile line between erotic and mainstream. At our core Americans are still very skittish about the ways in which we permit brands to talk with us about our basic human sexuality. For example, European condom ads are far more honest (and usually pretty damned funny) about their sole function than you will ever see here in the U.S. And it’s not just about FCC standards. It ’s really… Continue

Paste Magazine's Love Fest

Paste Magazine maintains the momentum of their UGC Obamicon success with the Valentine themed “Luvicon” campaign. And yes, I love it for all the reasons I talked about in my inaugural post. Paste has this down to a science now. This is the subscriber email that was sent during the Valentine’s rush. I’m hoping Paste will share some of their data regarding Zazzle conversions or cost per new customer acquisition. We sit, wait, and admire our own handiwork in our own Luvicon gallery.… Continue

Never Too Old For Facebook

OK. True confession time. Around 2003 I asked a friend, “How old is too old to be on MySpace?” He looked nervous, as though I was accusing him of something, but I really wanted to hear whether I was dabbling in something completely juvenile and should rethink the whole thing. The newsroom I worked in at the time was populated with high school interns intent on converting the grownups – by creating pages on their behalf – that they would then have to maintain! It was also around that same time t… Continue

Nine West - Photo booth

If you read my previous post then you know I’m a big fan of a well executed UGC campaign. At the risk of being redundant and becoming a one note thinker, I have to say that I’m loving Nine West’s new UGC PHOTOBOOTH effort designed to promote their new NWBI range. I actually clicked through from an email the minute I got it. They may have another “elf yourself” or “obamicon” sized opportunity for their audience. Why?… Continue
