There are a number of reliable blogging platforms out in the industry. Of course, I appreciate WordPress with your own domain as you can see.
These days, I either teach people to build their own website from scratch but that’s a long process which requires much more patience and time investment but it is completely possible. For many business owners, I help business owers with some design work followed by training so they are up and running quickly and moving on towards an ongoing monthly communications and branding program for their business.
Either way, the key is a an effectve blogging platform. Of course, having your own domain with WordPress is one of the most effective. Some of the free services out there can result in outages and minor ones are alright although longer ones won’t bode so well for the average business owner.
How does an independent business owner make these determinations with all those choices out there? Some are so easy to use but don’t provide the branding that people seek. Private implementations are still the most effective and give the business owner the most mileage. Choose one to provide both a website as well as a blogging platform.
Branding, search engine optimization capabilities and then ongoing attention to your communications are also key. The decision making process is more involved than one might think at the beginning but taking some time to understand your decision will improve your overall results in the long run and reduce the cost of your initiatives over the short as well as long run.
It is like most business decisions in that good planning and doing things well the first time around will result in optimal results at the best cost.
This week, Facebook announced their Social Email Marketing service which will wrap together Text, Chat and Messaging together. On a daily basis, over 4 billion messages both direct and instant messages are sent via Facebook. Their marketing campaign over the last 12 to 18 months that “email is dead” has been brilliant.
In the marketing world, it’s well known that email is a key artery to both our online social networking lives, our mobile lives as well as professional lives. In fact, read All Roads Lead to Email in order to understand more about how email is used as our focal point of our online activities.
Some interesting comments about Facebook’s announcement include that these conversations would be captured online forever. It’s a little bit of a scary thought to capture in black and white all my casual conversations with online friends forever. Also, Facebook has now been capturing and aggregating our conversations with friends online so we can each go and visit these past conversations and see our relationships at work. I found it rather fascinating to see how much many touches happen between those who are closer to me and how some relationships aren’t all that close but the conversation can sometimes be a little on the richer side with each touch.
I laugh at the thought of being able to see my relationships visually with other people in terms of number of touches as well as the depth of each touch that we have with each other. In the long run, I would imagine that I could see how each became closer, deeper and richer or how some might have melted away. All those questions about what ever happened to those close friends from my past, now answered for us in a visual history of conversations, photo sharing and comments.
How fascinating is this brave new world?!
Recently, someone asked me how they get conversions from social media. For some businesses, you can create a conversion point in social media. For other businesses, it’s just the start of the conversion process so we don’t see the sales conversions happening on the social networking platform.
So, why use LinkedIn? Here are some reasons why businesses use LinkedIn:
Social networking like other forms of business networking or in some cases, cold calling, is a great way to start a marketing funnel but like all sales or marketing funnels, it needs more care and attention in order to further qualify your contacts or social network of people. If you want, conversion is a little beyond what I discuss here at this site.
