Manage Your Campaigns

When it comes to reporting results from online media, even with the purest of branding campaigns, our eyes always head to the far right-hand side of report. We look past impressions, clicks, and cost per click to see the volume and cost of the actions we are getting. And why shouldn’t we? Today, marketers must focus not just reach but engagement, high-value brand interactions, and of course, actual leads and sales. Think of it this way: there are banner impressions and then there are lasting impressions. Engagement helps brands make lasting impressions with target audiences.

So in parallel to a great Media Plan, one should have a great Engagement Plan. An accompanying document should map not just where your creative will be placed, but what people will be encouraged to do when they see and click on your ads. Especially today, when properties offer an assortment of rich media units and engagement ads, how people respond can vary as much as what people see.

Twitter. Use it Wisely

Today Twitter is a rapidly growing Social Tool which is also a hit among Marketers. With its 20 million active user base it is loved by Search Engines as well.

That is an impressive no. of people sending millions of tweets. I think this is really a great platform for businesses to keep updated their followers about company’s new products and offerings who wish to follow them.

Even some time before, Google made an agreement with Twitter to show tweets in their search results. It means your tweets can be viewed as an unique listing in Google Search Engine which can help in increasing traffic on your website.

I think indexing of tweets in search engine offers a great way for businesses to show their presence in Google Search Engine. This is the best time to start optimizing your Twitter presence to maximize your results.

Art of Guest Blogging

Internet marketing broke all the rules of conventional marketing and created unprecedented opportunities for millions to make millions. I strongly believe that you deserve to be one of them! How? There are endless ways to grab your nifty share of the scrumptious internet marketing pie, some of which are more intelligent than others. One thing all e-marketing gurus agree on is that blog marketing is a no-fail strategy, if done correctly.

Work Smart Not Hard in Building Your List…

Think about it: guest writing spares you the headache of constantly posting fresh content in your blog/site to build up your own readers and traffic. Instead, you can easily plug in and immediately profit from the high traffic and trust that other blogs already enjoy. I love the idea of leveraging on other people’s success rather than reinventing the wheel and starting from scratch! The best part of it all is that guest posting is very ethical and in fact welcomed by blog owners .

Put Your Name Out There Easily and Effortlessly

Posting in different blogs with different readers will greatly speed-up your quest to share your insights with the world and put your name out there. While crafting your Bio for Guest Blogging, make it sure that you can entice the readers to check back your blog, Twitter is always helpful for people to determine your worth ; “your tweets speak it all”

For aspiring entrepreneurs, taking a concept from inception to launch can happen faster an cheaper than ever before. You just launched a shiny new site, and your product has been thoroughly tested and debugged — and now you’re in the hot seat (either from investors, co-workers, or yourself) to ramp up your almost non-existent marketing efforts.

Here are 10 relatively lightweight efforts (in no particular order) that just might get you on the cover of your favorite magazine before you know it:

10. Network / Hustle / Get After It: Sure, social tools have facilitated your digital hustle, but there’s no substitute for making great connections in person. Leverage your network to get bloggers, writers, creatives, and fellow entrepreneurs to write about you, think about your work, or at least like you enough to help you out down the road.

9. Add yourself to CrunchBase, which is an publicly editable Wikipedia of tech companies, people and investors.

8. Add yourself to YouNoodle, which is a place to meet other likeminded individuals.

7. Apply and participate in University or city/org sponsored business plan competitions. Keep in mind what the real value is here, it’s not necessarily the 10 or 20k prize money… but the random collection of angel investors, press, and talented technologists/creatives that hang around these events (even on other teams).

6. Add yourself to StartupWeekend’s Startup Database

5. Get to know your local StartupDigest leaders/editors

4. Get to know any local startup aggregators, like Proudly Made In DC or We Are NY Tech

3. Sponsor and attend events like Tech Cocktail or your local BarCamp

2. Apply for incubator/accelerator programs… see #7 for a similar value proposition.

1. Be excellent and build awesome stuff that people talk about.
