Technology in the form of social media has opened up a whole new world. As earthquakes rocked Haiti and early this morning Chile, news organizations are getting their news from citizen reporters.
The world today is a much smaller place, compared to just a few years ago. And, when compared to the early 1900′s well there is just no comparison.
Twitter is a phenomenal tool when it comes to disseminating information quickly. When coupled with all the support services for uploading pictures, we can see first hand the devastation…
This was sent to me the other day and I thought it was such a truism in the way network marketers are communicating via Twitter. Watch the video and tell me if this is what is actually going on.
When I received the email from Google about their new interest based advertising that is due to roll out in April it caused me to question just what are they thinking.
I think it will be interesting to see how this actually works. It does seem like it will take relevancy away, yet they indicate it should make it as relevant as possible. This change from based on the current content to what your overall interest is based on surfing history could cause issues for some.
It’s quite interesting listening to all the chatter on Twitter everyday. It seems we have 6 million subscribers and 9 million experts on the subject of Social Media.
On of the most provocative statements I read earlier this week "Generation X and the Baby Boomers just don’t get it." I guess I fall into the baby boomer category. Personally I see just as much hype in the promotion of social media as I do in any multi-level or network marketing program.
With many of the web sites out there today, you would certainly think so! I’m guessing here but it seems many have neglected this critical aspect of their web sites, blogs etc… or has social media made that totally irrelevant today?
Search engine optimization is not just for the robots it’s also your visitors that come to your site as well. With the explosion of blogs and content management systems, everyone has one today, I have my share of them.
We knew it was coming how could anyone doubt it. The big question is what will twitter consider a company? There are many small – home based businesses using twitter to promote their services, will they now be considered a company per Twitters yet to be announced standards?
With everyone jumping onto the social media bandwagon there are clear winners emerging, Twitter is one of them.
What got me to thinking about this was after reading they where exploring how to monetize it. Now I’m not faulting them for wanting to do this, after all it is a business. My concern with them following this path goes back to running adsense on my network marketing web site.
Now why on earth would you want to use up all your text messages? It just did not make any sense at all to me, especially since I use the iPhone. With the iPhone there are probably no less than a dozen or so apps that deal with social networking.
I use a program called Twitterrific on the iPhone and it works great! I can check for tweets on my schedule. One of the problems with todays society is, we are all so well connected we really never have any quiet time anymore.
Over the past several years, many have moved to marketing via web video. Yet, when you look at many of these video’s most of them are really pathetic.
Reading through many studies on marketing via video it seems that the overwhelming response is that it is hard to quantify the effectiveness of this form of marketing.
I watched a video on youtube awhile back that I found funny. The video started out with a graphic that never changed. The individual that placed this video there, then went on to talk for almost 10 minutes.
Throughout our lives we get to work with people and develop relationships. In relationships some last and some end in divorce. We truly just never know how things will turn out. All of the images here where from The Works Team group, with the exception of Steve Sakal.
What is interesting is how individual perspectives change when it comes to making money at all costs. One of the reasons I choose to leave The Works Team.
