Social Media is So Much More Than Likes and Followers

Social Media is So Much More Than Likes and Followers | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it
From www.searchenginejournal.com - September 17, 2012 2:32 AM

"Much like SEO, where people tried (and still try) to manipulate the rankings, some people are trying to manipulate social media. Instead of putting in the time and effort to think about their customers and create a social media profile that will naturally attract and engage customers, they are looking for a quick and easy way to build a social media presence. These fast and furious social media marketing tactics usually amount to nothing.

 

 

 

There’s no doubt that social media signals (i.e. activity on social media) has some bearing on search rankings, but there is still a lot of debate about the specifics. It does appear that a business’ activity on Google+ may soon become a factor in search rankings".

How to Maximize the Reach of Your Posts on Social Networks

How to Maximize the Reach of Your Posts on Social Networks | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it
From www.tednguyenusa.com - October 26, 2012 3:10 AM

This article and infographic was posted by Ted Nguyen for his blog.

 

Intro:

 

One of the most pressing questions whether you're new to social media or a social media maven is: What's the best way to post information or share content to optimize your reach


Compendium, a content marketing firm conducted a study of more than 200 companies to determine how social media professionals may optimize their engagement with both business-to-business-to-consumer conversations.


What they found is consistent with what Ted Nguyen has experienced and he has demonstrated that he clearly knows what he's doing

Here are some highlights:

 

"My experience in sharing more than 21,000 tweets and Facebook posts to my more than 82,000 Twitter followers and Facebook friends is consistent with the study’s findings"

.

**I recommend the hours between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (Pacific Time) or 1 to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) are the best times for Twitter and Facebook to optimize social engagement engagement.

 

**I find that tweets shared earlier in the week do better than those sent later in the week. I also have discovered that Facebook posts do best Wednesday early afternoon.

 

**if you look at Ted's social shares, they run around the clock. he tries his best to engage with people in real time or near real time.

Will Pinterest Lead The Way & Transform the Web in 2012?

Will Pinterest Lead The Way & Transform the Web in 2012? | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it
From blog.eladgil.com - January 5, 2012 6:46 AM

I selected this post written by Elad Gil because not only was it interesting and timely, but the comments from his readers were equally as valuable. So many different social curation platforms emerging, Pinterest is one to watch.......

 

Excerpt:

 

Social Content Curation As The Next Big Thing

 

The most interesting wave hitting the social web in 2012 is social curation. This was kicked off in 2011 as Pinterest's growth was noticed by Silicon Valley and a number of companies quickly followed suit -

 

**Snip.It launched as a social information curation platform, Quora adopted boards for a similar purpose, and Fab.com launched a structured social commerce feed.

 

There's so much information in this post, here's the takeaway. I would love to hear your comments about this next wave......

 

Takeaway:

 

2012 Will Be The Year of Curated Sets


**2012 will likely see an acceleration of structured, push button, social curation across the web. Why? Because most users don't want to take much effort to produce content, and consuming content in a structured manner (especially photos) is also much faster.

 

**Just as the first wave of social media has transformed the consumption of information, this next wave of social curation will fundamentally change how users find and interact with content over time.

Do Social Marketers Really Know What Social Consumers Want?

Do Social Marketers Really Know What Social Consumers Want? | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it
From www.briansolis.com - August 28, 2012 4:36 AM

This article is from Brian Solis , and in collboration with Barnickel Design, they have created this infograph that clearly shows that there is a perception gap 

 

what customers want and what executives think they want.based on research from Pivot referring "The Perception Gap"

 

Jan Gordon: My commentary

 

Hopefully this article and findings will help to provide some clarity so marketers can begin to engage with their customers, in a way that is meaningful to them. Word of mouth spreads like wildfire and you'll want to make sure your business is listening, engaging and responding to their needs before someone else does.

 

Here are some highlights:

 

** 76% of marketers feel they know what their customers want yet only 34% have asked customers

 

**59% of social customers wish to engge businesses for buying insights and customer service respectively, on the contrary only 37% of marketers believe that these services re in demand by their customers

 

**Take a look at Actual Consumer usage VS marketers' perceptions of consumer usage on the infograph, there is definitely a gap in perception here

 

 mobile social apps 

 

**15% of consumers use them on Linkedin, marketers think it's more like 36. 7%

 

**twitter 35% useage - marketers perceive this to be 82%

 

 

 Daily deal  & coupon sites

 

**Facebook usage is 35%

 

**Marketers perceive this to be 56%

Want To Be The 'Go-To' Brand in 2012? Creation & Curation Are a Must

Want To Be The 'Go-To' Brand in 2012? Creation & Curation Are a Must | social: who, how, where to market | Scoop.it
From www.cmo.com - January 2, 2012 10:23 AM

This piece was written in May of 2011 by Pawan Deshpande, CEO of HiveFire for cmo.com. I'm curating this on 12/31/11,  my last post for 2011.

 

Great article, 2012 will be a signicant year for content curation!

 

Here’s what caught my attention:

 

****Industry experts and analysts have begun to focus on content curation as a key marketing strategy.

 

**** “Content curation has emerged as one of the highest potential enterprise tools for B2B marketers to draw and engage specific audiences,” said Susan McKittrick of the Patricia Seybold Group, who has conducted several in-depth reports examining the growth of content curation within the realm of marketing.

 

In February, 2011, **(It will be interesting to see what these statistics are today as we approach 2012). HiveFire surveyed more than 150 marketing professionals; our data supported McKittrick’s insights:

 

**Forty-eight percent of marketers are already employing content curation in some form or another

 

**58 percent of those surveyed who are curating content are mixing both original and third-party content, which solidifies the curator’s credibility among its audience

 

**Robert Davis, PJA Advertising’s senior vice president of digital marketing, believes that employing a content-curation strategy--in particular, curating third-party content--is essential for increasing a brand’s influence and position as a thought leader in its space.

,

**You need to put yourself into the mindset of a publisher by writing blog articles, producing podcasts, and authoring e-books and whitepapers.

 

**It helps marketers find, highlight, build on, and share relevant, timely information of keen interest to an audience.

 

****Curated content becomes the source information for lead nurturing, social media engagement, thought leadership positioning, community cultivation, and drawing organic search traffic.”

 

**When creating content for your brand, you are helping to educate your prospects only through vendor content.

 

**Without content from outside experts and peer groups, they are left on their own, out of your reach, to find it themselves.

 

**While most marketers understand the need to produce content, there is more that can be done to position your brand as the “go-to” source for your industry.

 

**Curation can help marketers produce and share better, prospect-engaging content by presenting a broader selection of peer, vendor, and expert sources in the context of a company’s brand.
