Social Media Strategy That Sells

admin — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 17:30:24 +0000

I recently published an article called “Social Media Strategy That Sells.” This article is a simplified version of my free report – The Seven Steps To Turning Social Media Into Cash. That report is free too, but you have to sign up to receive it. For all of those people who aren’t sure they want it or need it, I decided to publish a condensed version to give you a sneak peek into the report/worksheet. Here is a synopsis and link to the full article.

The big debate with social media – do you use it to generate revenue or not? I believe the answer is a very delicate yes, but you have to know how to do it, otherwise people will “hide” you in Facebook and LinkedIn, stop following you in Twitter and ignore you on YouTube. I have the perfect example … read the entire article titled “Social Media Strategy That Sells.”

Social Media Blog Integration Strategy

I recently published an article about how to integrate your blog posts into your social media so that you prevent duplicate postings, minimizing the amount of time you need to spend writing on the web while maximizing your social media exposure. Here is an excerpt and a link to the full eZine article.

How do you integrate your blog posts into Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook so that you don’t have to update each service every time you write a new blog entry? There are a million ways (I might be exaggerating here) of automating your posts.

LinkedIn is such a professional network that you have to be very careful as to what you are posting on that site. To solve the problem, I use different services for different social media platforms. To decide what is best for you, here are some tips and a few services to help create your social media strategy … read the full article here.

I recently published a free eZine article called “Social Media Strategy Using Blogs”. Here is a synopsis of the article and a link to read the full article.

A Blog is an online diary, an online newsletter, an online book of information about a subject with you as the expert. It is a social media strategy that many web marketing experts use to build their social media strategy and to sell on social media without “selling” on social media.
