Today's Best Brands Aren't Marketing, They're Creating Movements

Housing prices were imploding. Financial institutions were in a nosedive. The Great Recession had just gotten underway, and was showing itself to be what it would become– a tectonic shift in our economy that would eliminate 7,030,000 jobs in the 13 months between September 2007 and September 2008 alone. In the midst of all this awful news, a group of executives atAmerican Express AXP +0.92% got together with CEO Kenneth Chenault to share their concerns.
Their anxieties were not about their bottom line. Instead, they talked about what they and their company could do to help small retailers, who were especially vulnerable in the downturn. From their conversations came a new brand movement called Small Business Saturday. (Luckily, they didn’t go with their first idea, Small Business Tuesday.) Small Business Saturday is now in its sixth year, and research suggests it has made a lasting impact in inspiring people to shop small. The Saturday after Thanksgiving has been made an official day by Congress, and on the most recent day in 2015, more than 95 million people spent $16.2 billion in America’s small businesses. read more here,http://goo.gl/qe5tU8

Proven Formula On How To Get More Retweets (Follow These 5 Overly Simple Steps)

You should because the more you get retweeted the more your business is exposed to other peoples communities.

This is good because if your content is awesome (which I’m sure it is) the more likely you’ll be to get other peoples communities to follow you and share your content.

First you need to look at your Twitter analytics to measure how your Tweets are performing?

Remember what isn’t measured cannot be managed as the saying goes.

The 3 big numbers I like to look at inside my analytics are:

  1. Engagement rate

  2. Link clicks

  3. Retweets

All 3 are good indicators of how you’re doing on Twitter.

If you’re on Twitter for business each month minimally you should be looking at these 3 numbers and seeing how you can improve them from the previous month.

The more link clicks you get, the more website traffic you’ll get (obviously).

We all know also that more website traffic equals more leads and sales.

One easy way to expand your link clicks on Twitter is to get more retweets and show up in front of other peoples followers.

So how do you do this?

Let’s go over 5 overly simple ways you can get more retweets starting in the next 10 minutes:

1. Use images in your tweets.

Tweets with images generate 150% more retweets than those with just text, and it’s easy to make great images in the perfect size for Twitter in Canva!

However, if that’s too time-consuming or you don’t like creating graphics, you can quickly create images on your phone. Typorama, which, unlike many apps, allows you to create images in the right dimensions for Twitter and is super easy to use.

Twitter can be a very powerful social media tool for your business if you set your account up right and know what to do to automate it to do the work for you.

9 Reasons Social Media Marketing Should Top Your To-Do List

These days, it isn’t enough to have a website for your business – your digital storefront extends to social media marketing sites like Facebook and Twitter, and it’s time to start capitalizing on it. If your company still doesn’t have a Twitter account or a Facebook fan page, it’s time to get with the program and bring yourself up to speed (or risk falling behind your competition).
Still not convinced? Here are nine reasons social media marketing should top your to-do list: originally posted at, http://goo.gl/O2B05x

Here is number 8 out of 9 reasons you should have your own social network for social engagement (the #1 metric for ranking).

8.)   It’s free. How can you argue with that? If you handle your own social media management, running a social networking campaign is as cheap as it gets. If you hire a social media management or online PR agency, it will cost around $3,000-$7,000 per month, but it’ll be an investment that you’ll be likely to see a return on. If you’re intimidated by interacting with people online or your writing skills leave something to be desired, hiring an online PR agency is definitely the way to go. Posting poorly written content or conveying the wrong kind of messages on social networking sites can seriously affect your digital PR presence.

To pay a PR agency is one option, but a better option would be to build your own social network and build up your own authority and ranking for your website,

Social engagement is how to make your business successful with social media marketing



Social Engagement is how to make your business successful with social media marketing.
Social engagement (also social involvement, social participation) refers to one's degree of participation in a community or society.
To ad to the diffenition, from Google’s stand point, how much social participation/involvement, (social engagement) from society with you or your site.
Here is why social engagement is so important. If you look at the chart, (this from Google) 1/15/15, The number one metric on the chart the bar is broken because it wouldn’t fit on the page. Google has it at 67% of the number one factor in determining how to rank your website  or not.

But let me make it as simple as I can to understand. Social engagement  from any tool or platform, is;

First level of social engagement;
Search results, Google serves up what it thinks you want, and you click on results.
Click thru rate. If you click on what Google gives you. Google see’s it as relevant to what you were looking for.
Dwell time. After you click on what you want, how long you stay on the page and if you click on something that page has on it.
This is why you can’t go out and buy a bunch of likes, views, or followers. Google see’s everything now, its called the Semantic Web, or Web 3.0

The second level is;
Likes, (Facebook, YouTube, +1 Google, Twitter)
Shares, (G+,YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest, Stumble upon)
Comments, on all of the above
Bookmarks
Third level is;
Where Google see’s your material on other Social media as book marks, video embeds, blog repost, on web 2.0 properties, other blogs and websites.
And Google finds your material 2 and 3 generations away from your site, with back links to your site or video.

There are do’s and don’ts with social media!
Don’ts:
Do Not go out and buy any kind of “Likes”, Follow’s”, Comments. Shares,
Or
Back links, embeds, Blog repost.
If you do you will get penalized by Google for Spam!
Google knows who is selling what, so if you buy from those sites, you will be penalized.

Do’s
Update your own social media.
Build your own social media network.
You can use some of the tools out there that are free to take the work load off you maintaining or monitoring your social media.
If you need more social engagement , and you want to spend some money, use YT adds, is the cheapest, followed by Face book, and then Adwords.
Any of these ad will give you lots of traffic and engagement.

If you don’t have a social network built for your brand, your company, your product, it is an absolute must. You will not rank your website if you don’t have one.
This isn’t a sales video, but if you don’t have the time r don’t want to learn how to open all the accounts and set all the settings in the account so that Google will recognize them. An then link all of your social media accounts together  with your website, to make a very powerful network in Googles eyes.
