Big Data Means UNDERSTANDING is The Game Now
If your C level is still not sold on social media they risk being two moves back. Social media generates an army of BIG DATA that, once squeezed into silos with the top and bottom of the sales funnel connected, the possibility to speed conversions and sale traffic, list growth and money is HUGE.

There is helpful myth busting stats on this infographic. The problem, in a nutshell, understands how social media is impacting your Key Performance Indicators in a positive or negative way. There is no neutral in this game.

Every Internet marketing move you make helps or hurts your traffic, conversions and online brands. It is important to understand norms and benchmarks. This graphic provides norms and benchmarks. Once you know those you can go forth and know how you are the same or different.

Interesting tidbits:


Time spend on Facebook has decreased in the last year, while time spent on Google Plus has almost doubled, and time spent on Pinterest has increased by one thousand percent.

FIPT or Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter have put up some amazing numbers this last year proving SMM is here to stay and here for real. Debate the ROI at your company's marketing peril.

Time to get into the social media deep in is upon Internet marketers. As I stated in Social Media Marketing The Most Important ROI, the key isn't what SMM does to the bottom line thought as this infographic proves those kinds of returns are coming.

Social media marketing's most powerful return is how it changes US as the wall between US and THEM slips silently into the past.

The Explosion of Pinterest and Why You Should Read This Report

The Explosion of Pinterest and Why You Should Read This Report | Social Media (network, technology, blog, community, virtual reality, etc...) | Scoop.it

This piece was written by Dave Copeland for Readwriteweb. There have been many articles about Pinterest but if you do nothing else, read the white paper by Engauge and report they're referring to. It is absolutely the best one I've seen to date. (more details below)

 

The most important thing in this piece is the report, here's what you'll see:

 

A new Engauge white paper breaks down:

 

**the make-up of the average Pinterest user 

 

**shows that the end result of less reading is more of a focus on content curation than creation.

 

**The timing of that trend, combined with a stunning design when Internet users are focusing more on visual than text, has allowed Pinterest to explode in popularity.

 

This is what caught my attention - a quote from a user:

 

"When I'm looking for new trends on specific topics like fashion or birthday party themes, I now search Pinterest first -- not Google." - Karah Street
