How to Setup a Wordpress Blog in 5 Minutes

How to Setup a Wordpress Blog in 5 Minutes | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it
From www.jeffbullas.com - January 22, 2013 6:39 AM

I started my blog using WordPress and I have found it a platform that makes it easy to own and publish your own content online.

 

It is the foundation to the success of this blog which currently receives over 300,000 hits per month.

 

If you’re looking for an easy way to create a web presence and start sharing your ideas online, the best way to do this is to create a blog. Millions of users around the world already express themselves and share their thoughts by means of their personal blogs.

 

The advantage of having your own WordPress blog that is self-hosted is that you own it.

 

It is good to have a Facebook “page” or a Tumblr blog but they are owned by someone else and you can have a web presence there but under their “Terms and Conditions” It is basically a rental.

Both org and .com variants of Wordpress are a delight to use, I have sued them for years, had to abandon my hosted Wordpress blog when I upgraded my website.  I miss it.

Neli Maria Mengalli's curator insight, January 28, 2013 8:30 AM

Influencers on social media are either passionate individuals who turn out to be specialists or professionals involved who use Web 2.0 tools as part of their work. They take advantage of their presence on social networks for personal gain or as representative (or ambassador) a brand, company or organization.

5 Ways to Double Your Twitter Followers in 10 Minutes a Day | Social Media Today

5 Ways to Double Your Twitter Followers in 10 Minutes a Day | Social Media Today | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it
From socialmediatoday.com - January 20, 2013 1:01 PM

Social media doesn't have to be time consuming.But there's no reason you have to check Twitter every hour.


Here's 5 easy things you can start using this week.


1. Do Less

You can't always get better results with doing more.

So instead, try to do less but focus on the essential.

Your results will skyrocket if you set constraints, like setting a timer for 10 minutes per day.

2. "Top-Down" Strategy

People think that social media is only about community management.

So they get on Twitter and tweet to an empty room, or try to interject or interrupt others in order to "engage the conversation". 

That's a really ineffective use of your time. A better strategy is to put yourself in a position where others want to contact you.

3. Automate

One of the best things about internet marketing is the tools that help you automate different processes. These tools also help you appear really active.

4. Curate

Curating other people's content helps you build thought leadership and can also create reciprocity. And again, there are a variety of tools that make this process instant and pain-free.

5. Engage

You've removed a lot of the time consuming aspects of Twitter in the first four steps. What's left is the important part - engaging with other people.

Why the Best Managers Ask the Most Questions

Why the Best Managers Ask the Most Questions | SocialMedia_me | Scoop.it
From www.entrepreneur.com - January 18, 2013 2:32 AM

When your employees ask for help, how you respond can either empower them to find a solution or make them dependent on your input. One simple response consistently empowers employees: answering with a question instead of a statement.

Pallab Kakoti's curator insight, April 6, 2014 2:26 AM

A webpage that shows a lot of social shares appears much more authoritative as compared to a webpage with few social shares. This has been corroborated by research data that shows content activity from social media channels weighs into rankings on search engines. The importance of links as a ranking parameter is less likely to cease as they evolve into a new role that indicates the importance of social media activity as a ranking factor.

Here are 20 social signals that Google tracks to determine ranking based on various social media activities on Google+, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon & Foursquare.  http://goo.gl/wBvVDM

Some great social media statistics for 2013 covering Facebook, Twitter, Google + Instagram and Pinterest.

Some key nuggets- 23% of users check Facebook 5 or more times per day- 69% of Twitter follow are due to friend recommendations- 56% of customer tweets to brands etc are being ignored – poor show!- 34% of marketers have generated leads using Twitter- 625,000 people are joining Google + everyday – yet so many ‘experts’ tell people to ignore it…- 50% of Pinterest users have children and 80% of users are women.
