Social Media marketing – The Known and the Unknown Facts

06/20/2012 by Admin

I am not the Jack of all trades and I am not going to play that boring role. I know a little bit of social media marketing (I can safely assume that since I am into SEO and social media for the past 5 years) and my experience says that you cannot be always right while promoting your service in the sphere of social media since the rules are changing all the time. There is no as such rule to follow and that means, the probability of attaining success is subjected to the experiments that you have conducted earlier. Even when you have the feeling that you know exactly what needs to be done to make the ongoing campaign a huge success, you may find yourself totally wrong when you start crunching data.

Though I have no such intention to play God of social media marketing, I am trying to give you some tips that may help you overcome such embarrassing situation

It is not Digital Media

Social media and digital media are two different areas and to attain success, you need to have different marketing strategy ready. Digital media is basically like one way street and there is little or no opportunity to be interactive in the whole process. For say, if you distribute advert on leading online web design blog, you simply want to promote your service and draw some clicks via them. There is no interaction involved. But social media is a different ground altogether. Here engagement is the key metric of success and for that reason you have to work hard to your bone to make that happen. You have come up with witty and creative ideas so that people would voluntarily participate in your marketing campaign and share, like and tweet your posts with yours being actively being involved in it.

Not Commercial

People by nature are adverse to commercials. But we all know that it is a necessary evil and therefore, there is no escape from it. As a viewer, you are destined to watch few seconds of video clipping until the “Skip” option appear. So that while promoting your campaigns via Google Adwords, you have got the option of forcing ads down the throats of the audience even when they are not at all willing to buy that product. But social media is a different ball of game altogether. Here audience has the option to ignore you and you cannot do much about this.

So that means, your marketing campaign should not feel like promotional. It is really a bad practice to go for marketing pitch in each single post or update. Rather you should listen to what people are saying or what people want this from you.

Do Not Count this as an Investment

Do not turn the life of a social media marketer hell by asking him/her to show you the ROI of ongoing social media promotional activities. It is nearly impossible to measure the outcome of social media marketing and no amount of data crunching is going to help you. You need to understand the fact that social media marketing is not like a real estate investment. It is about building relationship and spreading your brand image so that people can easily relate themselves with your brand.

Social updates – Two latest Facebook update and a Microsoft product launch

05/23/2012 by Admin

Facebook launches Timeline and Microsoft launches So.cl

There is always something happening in the virtual world. The time you log into the online world, you come across something new. Some new updates, new launches etc. So today I came across three new social-updates that I am going to write about. They are not like the rocking or record-breaking news but yes, they are neither nonsense news. Two of these news are about Facebook and one is of Microsoft. Don’t worry, I am not going to tell you about Zuckerburg’s marriage; I assume that you already know about it.

So here are the three latest updates of the social (online) world.

1. Facebook to lift Ban on under-13s

We all know about this. Children under-13 years of age are not allowed to sign-up. (What a joke!!!) They just don’t allow to sign-up but they don’t know about the children today. They fake their age to get a Facebook account. As a result, the social networking giant plans to relax the ban on children under the age of 13, according to a report. A senior Facebook employee said that the decision to lift the ban came after finding that many kids, some with and some without their parent’s permission were already signing up. If the decision is implemented, a flood of new sign-ups are expected.

2. Microsoft launches SO.CL

Software giant, Microsoft is too planning to jump in the social networking market by launching So.cl (pronounced as “social”). It is a social network that was tested by university students in 2011. According to Microsoft, So.cl is am experimental research project developed by the company’s FUSE Labs (Nice idea, if the network bombs then they will at least have an excuse). It is mainly focused on exploring the possibilities of social search for the purpose of learning. And yes, So.cl search is powered by Microsoft’s own search engine, Bing.

3. Facebook launches Timeline feature for mobiles

The timeline feature got both positive and negative responses from Facebook users when it was launch. There were people who were criticizing it and there were people appreciating it.But it seems that Facebook officials don’t get much affected with such mixed responses. They launched the ‘Timeline’ feature in the mobile phones. You will now be able to see all the features of Timeline even in your smartphone. I don’t know if it will be appreciated or we will be able to see some jokes about it on Facebook itself. Whatever it maybe, the company is taking strong steps to rule the social world in every device.

So what do you think about all the above latest updates ?? Do you think it is the right move for Facebook to remove the ban and launching Timeline for mobiles ?? Will the Microsoft product be able to create a fan following of its own ?? Do share your views regarding all these points with us. We will be more than happy to have your feedback.

Google+ gets a new look with some new features.

04/13/2012 by Admin

Google+ from the day of its launch has been the topic of discussion. It has gained both positive and negative feedbacks. Its comparison with other social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter has always been the hottest topic on the Internet. But irrespective of such feedback, Google+ is taking strong steps and is gaining popularity among the masses. Facebook has already sensed a threat in the growing popularity of Google+ and is keen to roll out new features to keep the users glued to Facebook.

And just yesterday or may be two days back Google+ came out with a completely new look, the images and videos are larger and navigation customizable. The design fits well with the new streamlined Google look. I have listed some of the new features below ……

Bigger Photos and Videos :-

Google+ was already doing a great job with the images and videos, this new change will surely draw more attention to it. Additionally, a new ‘insta-gallery’ will appear whenever you hover over a photo making it easy to view a complete set of images.

Profile pages resembling to Facebook Timeline :-

One of the biggest changes that you will notice is the Timeline like look of your profile pages. Its not completely like Timeline but resembles much to it. A user can upload a picture that will be seen horizontallly alongside the profile picture. This of course looks more professional than its previous look.

Navigation Ribbon :-

One of the most beautiful feature included in this layout is the navigation ribbon on the left. It is fully customizable and allows user to move apps up and down according to its personal preference. This is one feature that will please you at once.

Hangouts :-

There is another “Hangouts” page where you can navigate using the navigation ribbon. Hangouts have become easier to manage with this new layout.

Final Words :-

This are some of the interesting features that Google+ now has. If you want a detailed report about this upgrade then please read the official Google blog post.

Also please do comment about what you feel about this new look and whether it is good or bad from its previous look. We will be more than happy to have your comment.

The things about Facebook that I love and things that I hate !!!

04/10/2012 by Admin

We all know that Facebook is the leading social networking site today with more than 750 million users worldwide. Many people start their day with a status update which is sufficient to show how much people are addicted to Facebook. It is the best place today to socialize with people around the world and stay connected with your friends. But there are something that Facebook excels in and something where it fails. Today we are gonna discuss some points that I love and some points that I hate about Facebook.

First of all let’s see why is Facebook so much popular ?? The reason about the popularity of it among the youths as well as old people around the globe.

The reason of its Success :-

The biggest reason why Facebook is so popular is it’s perfect timing. I mean to say that Facebook came when no other social network was offering any such services. Mark Zuckerberg hit the fortune by launching it a time when people were bored of other social networks and Facebook offered them much different services to explore. So more and more people created their account with it and thus made it so much popular.

The things that I love about Facebook :-

Its Design :-

The creators of Facebook have indeed done a great amount of hard-work to create the design of Facebook and give it a perfect look. Even the new users will love its simple user interface and would never get confused.

Wide Variety of Pages and Groups :-

This is the best thing about Facebook that fell in love with. You can find a wide range of pages and groups of different categories on Facebook. You will never get bored of browsing such pages.

Strong Connection :-

I am able to easily connect with my friends on Facebook. I can see what they are doing or what they are up to. Above this all, Facebook helps me to remember my friends’ birthday and saves me from their torture that they give me if I forget it.

The things that I hate about Facebook :-

Large number of users :-

This is the biggest nuisance on Facebook. Their are so many users of Facebook that it makes almost impossible for you to find anyone’s profile. Also the amount of fake accounts is way more that the genuine ones. I think that Facebook has managed to get so many users just because of the fake accounts that people create.

Timeline for pages :-

After the implementation of Timeline feature for personal profile, Facebook introduced it for the pages as well. In this process, all the pages lost their landing pages. This landing pages where the main attraction of such pages which are now completely gone. But you can create a cover photo instead but it can’t be compared with the landing pages.

Unlimited tagging :-

You are tagged with many photos or videos or links which are not at all of any use. This things are just useless. It annoys me very much when any of my friend tags me to some useless photo.

The ‘Dislike’ button :-

This is the feature for which I am longing to have. People in my friend list just upload some things that are just bullshit. What they think when they update some stupid status which has got no meaning. Now Facebook has got to introduce a ‘Dislike’ button.

Final words :-

My list of likes and dislikes not just ends here. It’s just that I cannot present it in one single post or you will get annoyed with the article. This points I wrote about are my personal view. If you feel that you like some point that I don’t then it’s just a matter of perception. If you think I am missing out on some point then please let me and my other readers know it by commenting below.

Again I want to say that each and everything that I have written is my personal perception. It may be that you will feel differently about it as it is your personal view. So if you are offended by any point then please don’t take it seriously. No hard feelings.

Why is Google the undisputed king of Internet World ??

04/02/2012 by Admin

All of us know what Google is ?? That’s the site we all go when we want to find something on the internet. Google is a search engine; the best search engine to find something on the internet. No other search engine has even reached close to the level of Google. Why is it so ?? Why Google is so popular ?? Well let’s see for the reasons that made Google the king of Internet world.

Brief intro about Google

Google was created by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in January 1996 as a research project when they were both PhD students at Stanford University. It was first incorporated as a private held company on September 4,1998. The company’s mission statement was ” to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful “.

Reasons of why it is so popular

Most of us know that Google was originally a search engine; and many of us know that it is only a search engine. No it’s not. It’s the biggest company in the internet world offering every service that is needed by an internet user. Google’s rapid growth triggered a chain of services, partnerships and acquisitions beyond the company’s core web search engine. Every service that Google is offering has been ruling its respective field ever since they were launched.

Some of the services of Google is known by us. The company offers online productivity tools such as Gmail email service, the Google Docs office suite, and the Google+ social networking service. Google not only offers online products but its services extends to the desktop as well with applications such as Google Chrome web browser, the Picasa photo editing and organizing software and Google Talk Instant Messaging application. Google also owns the super popular Android mobile operating system. Other popular services are Youtube, Orkut, Gmail and the social networking site Google+.

Some services not known by normal users like us but popular among internet professionals are like this. Those who own a blog or a website will surely have a Google Analytics Account to track the traffic, Webmasters Tools account for improvising the website. Other services are Google apps, Blogger, Google Adwords, Google News, Google Finance, Google Groups, Google Maps etc. and lot’s and lot’s more.

Summary

Writing about Google is a very tough task and cannot be accommodated in one single post. A single post is just not enough to write about the services of Google and the reasons of its popularity. But it is a known fact that today no other site can be compared to Google because Google is the best. It is really the undisputed king of Internet.
