How Compete with Amazon? via @Curagami Forum

How Compete with Amazon? via @Curagami Forum | Must Market | Scoop.it
From www.curagami.com - July 12, 2016 8:54 AM

Competing With Amazon
Competing with one of the Internet's 4 horsemen is hard but not impossible. Amazon is a monster, but a monster with vulnerabilities as all monsters have. Amazon is too big to listen and care. They compete on price. 

Price doesn't create love. Price is about convenience, ease of use and becoming the Walmart of the web. No one loves Walmart much and few LOVE Amazon and therein lies the rub for Small to Medium Sized Businesses as this Curagami post shares. 

Did you know Amazon has several prices for the same thing almost all the time? This post teaches you how to really know what Amazon is charging for something so your prices won't be so far out of line as to appear absurd and so rejected on first inspection.

Video Marketing Hosting Tips - Curagami

Video Marketing Hosting Tips - Curagami | Must Market | Scoop.it
From www.curagami.com - May 17, 2016 1:11 PM

Video Hosting Tips
We found a great post from GoAnimate about 8 Hosting Alternatives to YouTube. YouTube is a ROACH MOTEL - customers go in but they rarely come out. 

Finding alternatives such as Vimeo, Viddler, and Wistia is important. Getting SEO JUICE inside your stack is important too. YouTube = NO JUICE, so finding a way to use your videos to promote your site and help with SEO is a CSF (Critical Success Factor). 

This is NOT to say there aren't times YouTube is the RIGHT choice. Just don't use YouTube as your main and only video host...Ever.

Scoopit "Revolution" Feeds Over 300,000 Views - Thank You! | Must Market | Scoop.it

Scoopit Over 300,000 Views - Thank You
Thanks to many friends, followers and teachers our @Scoopit fees went over 300,000 views yesterday. I would thank everyone here, but for some reason I haven't been able to see the @name links on Scoop.it since the move to this UI. I can see 'em, but they are behind my Scoop and so unreachable. 

This post links to GPlus where I tried to say THANK YOU to those who've helped teach me. The list is LONG, too long to fully include anywhere, so if you follow me, have collaborated with me or linked to and made suggestions for our Scoop.it THANK YOU. 

As I noted on GPlus. Scoopit is an enormously important tool now given all of Google's changes. Using this "safe" environment to test and then commit to content, ideas and memes is what will separate tomorrow's content curaiton winners from content shock losers.

Martin Smith (@Scenttrail) on Quora re: Marketing Plans

Martin Smith (@Scenttrail) on Quora re: Marketing Plans | Must Market | Scoop.it
From www.quora.com - March 15, 2016 10:04 PM

Is Planning A Dirty Word?
We aren't going to say planning is a dirty word, but we would say the LARGE desire for them stems from an illusion built on a fantasy. The illusion is that a plan can save you. 

The fantasy is thinking marketing plans can exist. Marketing ideas can exist as can well-executed campaigns based on values (something we think of as MOVEMENTS), and community, collaboration and curation exist. 

Planning...not so much as we share on Quora. We are answering a marketing question a day. Be sure to ask your marketing question and we will add it to the best Q&A app on the web.

The Incredible Importance of Mobile to Small Businesses

The Incredible Importance of Mobile to Small Businesses | Must Market | Scoop.it
From www.business2community.com - February 25, 2016 7:30 AM
Any edge your small business (SMB) can gain to stay in the ring with your heavy weight competitors is crucial. In a world full of millennial customers, your advantage is your mobile presence. Bottom line—if your business is not set up to serve the mobile population, look for a knock out punch to come from the competition.



It’s no secret that SMB is the backbone of the American economy. It’s also no secret that technology is a major factor in a SMB’s success. You would think that as technology continues to evolve that SMBs would have greater opportunities to compete with their larger competitors. This is the case on some occasions, but for most, modern technology is evolving faster than businesses can keep up with, thus leaving many scrambling to understand the changes they need to make.

#Growth Hacking : What Is Tripwire Marketing?

#Growth Hacking : What Is Tripwire Marketing? | Must Market | Scoop.it
From exela.co.uk - May 15, 2016 2:45 PM
What is Tripwire Marketing?

Tripwire marketing involves segmenting your leads based on interest and selling them a low-priced entry level item before buying into your main item or service and then further upselling them from there.

Confused? Let me break it down for you. The process revolves around the tripwire offer itself. The tripwire offer is a low-cost, painless offer that is easy for your prospect to buy into. So instead of asking someone to buy, for example, your monthly fitness subscription service for £30 per month, you would first offer them your complete subscription service for 30 days for just £1.

This is not only something painless for them to purchase, but teases them to what you offer as a full package.
