5 Tips for Staying Sane While Managing Social Networking

5 Tips for Staying Sane While Managing Social Networking | digital marketing strategy | Scoop.it

I selected this piece written by Samantha Hosenkamp for PR Daily because it's easy to get burned out managing social networking (aka Social Business) and this article has a good plan to help you pace yourself so it doesn't drive you crazy.

 

Here are a few of the 5 strategies to keep you sane and savvy

 

Create a social media cheat sheet.

 

**This will take some experimenting.

 

**Start by determining how many times you want to post to your social networks per day.

 

**Do this through trial and error to learn how your audience responds.

 

**Then determine what type of content to share.

 

Dedicate time to your favorite sites:

 

**Staying abreast of social media news can be trying.

 

**Figure out which sites you find most useful and dedicate at least a half hour every morning to review them

 

Carve out time for measurement

 

**you need to keep track of your social media efforts. help you identify your audience, what kind of posts they respond to, and how you can be more efficient in your efforts

 

**Start with an understanding of what your company needs and make sure you measure and track how social media is helping push these goals forward 

 

**Are you hoping to increase sales? Are you trying to reach a new audience? Are you re-branding your company image?

 

**Know your KPIs or “key performance indicators.”

Whether you have created a website because you own a small business, you want to support one of your hobbies, or you are becoming interested in affiliate marketing, there is one thing that you need that is content.

malek's insight:

There is a lot of myths out there about business blogging,  a fundamental lack of understanding about the subject. Not because it's difficult to explain but because small businesses are bombarded with conflicting information from different parts of the industry and are unable to decipher what is right, what is wrong and what is just plain ol' stupid

Study after study comes back with BLOGS being the engagement secret. Not hard to see why. Blogs are relevant (happening now), interactive and, if done right, quick easy reads.

6 Simple Elements That You Can Optimize for More Home Page Sign Ups | KISSmetrics

6 Simple Elements That You Can Optimize for More Home Page Sign Ups | KISSmetrics | digital marketing strategy | Scoop.it

Excerpted from article on KISSmetrics:
"Sure, generating more traffic for your website is always a good thing. But what if you could increase conversions on your site with just a few small tweaks? It could cost a lot less and take less time.
Below are six things we did that increased our sign-up rate by more than 75%.

1. Short Simple Headline:
Try making the headline shorter and more obvious. It’s always tempting to think people understand your website better than they really do.
You have only a few seconds to capture a visitor’s interest. Make a quick, bold statement so they will decide to hang around your site longer.

2. Images:
Yes, an image can say a lot about your website or product without having to use many words.
We put a bright, cheerful image of our software on the home page. It says a few things right away.

3. Social Proof:
There are a few types of social proof that work really well:
- Testimonials: Try not to use boring text from people no one knows. Try to use a picture of the person and link to their company.
- Tweets about your company: An easy way to show some more legitimate testimonials is to use tweets about your company/product.
- Case Studies: We offer a few short case studies with summaries about how people used TeamGantt for specific projects and the benefits they got from it.
- Press Coverage: Were you in The New York Times? Show it on your website! Present a nice quote from the article and the newspaper’s logo.
- Logos of Customers: Do you have some big name customers that will allow you to put their logos up on your website? This can establish some instant credibility with others.

4. Video:
There are a few different types of videos that may help improve the communication of your message. Maybe a video that walks visitors through your product and how it can be used. Or maybe an animated video that explains the problem your product solves. Consider hiring a company to create an explainer video.

5. Longer Home Page:
This definitely is worth trying. There really isn’t any way to know if a longer home page is better or worse than your existing one without running an A/B test.

6. Call to Action:
Don’t forget this one! You need to tell your visitors what to do. Should they download an eBook, sign up for a mailing list, start a free trial, or buy your product right now? Give them a friendly nudge to help guide them to the next step..."

Each element is analyzed with more information and examples. Read full original article here:

Forget to Take Medicine? These Pills Know

Forget to Take Medicine? These Pills Know | digital marketing strategy | Scoop.it

Startup companies are coming up with new technologies aimed at getting people to take medicine only as directed.

 

Taking medication haphazardly—skipping doses, lapsing between refills or taking pills beyond their expiration date—has been linked to health complications and hundreds of millions of wasted dollars for insurers and hospitals.

 "After six months' time, only half of people taking prescription medicines are taking them as directed," said Troyen Brennan, chief medical officer of drug retailer CVS Caremark Corp. 

Health insurers and pharmacy-benefits managers like CVS have long relied on robo-calls, mailers and face-to-face meetings with pharmacists to keep patients on their dosing schedule.

 

Now they are evaluating a range of more cost-effective technologies, from pills and bottles with digital sensors, to data analytics software and social games that offer patients rewards.

 

Insurers and pharmacies are motivated in part by Medicare, which offers financial rewards for proving their members have improved their overall adherence to medication schedules.

 

They also stand to benefit if their members are healthier. The New England Healthcare Institute estimates that some $290 billion in costs is wasted each year on unnecessary hospital and doctor visits by people who failed to comply with their medication schedule.

 

CVS is pilot-testing technology from Virginia-based RxAnte Inc., which sells an analytics platform that looks at millions of patients' claims data and clinical data to identify people at highest risk of failing to comply with doctors' orders.

 

These patients include people with a spotty track record of adherence, those who take several different medicines or those facing unwanted side effects, Chief Executive Josh Benner said.

 

"It's all a targeting game," Mr. Benner said. "We predict individual behaviors, and suggest interventions."
