Online Marketing using social media websites can be done in a variety of ways. One of which is creating profiles websites such as twitter and facebook, getting people to be your friend ./ followers and marketing by sending them messages.

Another method social media sites can be utilised is by advertising using pay per click. This methods involves bidding for certain keywords and paying for each time your advertisement is clicked.

Internet Marketing Glasgow

I’m planning on starting my own social media marketing company. However, I have been stuck for three days trying to come up with a name. I’ve gone through literally hundreds of words, and practically all of the good ones are taken. I need your help! I would like a name that is short (1-2 syllables preferred) meaningful, and that isn’t taken/has an open domain name. Not as easy as it sounds!
Thanks for any help you can give!

Every single combination of 5 letters is already taken. That makes it tough for a new business. There is hope since they are now selling new domains with new endings (not biz or net).

MediaMix ( or your name with ‘media’ in the middle of it)

Im trying to convince my boss that we need it however he wants to be able to track performance/sales generated. How can I sell him on it? lol

Good luck with that. You could use some kind of promo code you only use through social media, and record all the sales made with that, or you could ask every customer how they heard about you, and if people start saying "from facebook" or "from twitter" you are going to look good. If you are selling online, it is easier to measure as you can use analytics to view where your traffic comes from and which traffic converts into sales or enquiries.

In many online communities, one or two corporate representatives manage to win everyone’s respect. A sound insulation salesperson might act as the moderator of an audio forum, for example, sharing knowledge when possible. Sometimes, though, corporate reps are ostracized as spammers, and at BlogWorld, Brandon Eley gave some tips on how not to cross the line.

I’m just in the start up stage of my company and want to establish it a bit more. Have read a few bits and bobs on it, but want some first hand advice. How effective do you think it is in terms of marketing your products and services? And are there any companies that will do it for you? I’m not that good technology wise ha!

Thank you, Joanne x

Social media marketing is extremely effective! However an important element before you begin your campaign is to define what your goals are. Since you are in the start up stage: Brand awareness and growing your fan-base will most likely best the best goals. A good practice is to think of a way to build value in becoming a fan of your facebook page or following you on twitter etc. The first social media campaign I ever ran was for a used car dealership. I had to overcome all the negative feelings people had with used cars and come up with a reason for them to engage through facebook. The dealership was offering a free GPS system with every car sold so I talked to the manager and he agreed to let me give one away every few weeks to a random fan. It was an established business so I also used their email database to refer previous customers to their page. After we had a I had a few hundred fans, I took candid pictures of the staff ( some were really funny) and asked the fans to give them titles. This increased the amount of interaction and every time someone commented it showed up on their personal profile as well.

By focusing on metrics other than sales, I was able to create an engaging environment on the page. Sure enough when it came time for one of our fans to buy a car, thy would post on our wall asking if we had a specific model. I guided the sales reps on how to keep the dialog going on our page instead of just calling them etc. It was less pressure on the customer and all of the other fans were able to see that we responded to our fans quickly. The number of sales/leads were driven by the amount of interactions with fans.

The key is to go into it with the goal of adding value. Whether it be information, entertainment or contests (facebook has guidlines for contests so make sure and check them first). You dont want to come out of the gate with "on sale now" and have your social campaign be sales driven. This will hurt your image and limit potential for interaction.

You want to think about social media marketing in general as a place to build your fans with providing value, and get your existing customers buzzing about your product or brand. Word of mouth is the most effective form of marketing and social media is like word of mouth on steroids. Get creative and think outside the box. Persistence is key as well in the beginning you will want to set devote a good chunk of your time to help it grow. I would recommend starting out with facebook and twitter. After you have those down pat move to other channels while maintaining all of them.

If you need help feel free to contact me and If you are looking for a company to run your campaign for you or even get it off the ground and show you how to keep it moving check these guys out http://nixdiwebdesign.com/services/social-media-marketing.html Good luck!

I work at a Fortune 500 company and I want to better educate my marketing organization around social media. We know the basics so I would like something that is more sophisticated and actionable.

There is an agency that I am aware of called PR Squared that does social media training. Outside of that I might suggest attending an OMS (online marketing summit) conference. I attended one that came to Atlanta and sat in on several of their social media presentations and found them be actionable plus they went above and beyond the basic do’s and dont’s that you find circulating online.

I hope this information helps.

They can do what President Obama and the Ford Motor Company opted to do. They decided this is the advertising work horse for now and the future. Example President Obama’s massive email capture and use to raise over 700 million dollars campaign contributions most ever. That could be used for Mcdonalds email and text to get immediate response and to get customers to take action and to keep taking their pulse. Adoption of the New Media, like Ford had vowed to be the #1 Automobile Company in social media and they made it happen. also use the new Deal day concepts from companies like Groupon and Living Social example: 50% off today on big mac meal where a certain number people have to purchase the deal with their credit cards to make the deal done, win win situation for everyone. The Key is to buy into New Media Marketing, the reason these companies are growing so fast is the the culture has changed, better get on board or be left behind.

I’ve recently started working freelance for a music marketing company doing social media work. I’ve never freelanced before so I’m not really sure how much I should charge. Suggestions?

Would the music marketing company give you parameters of high and low charges? Could the question be asked; What do you feel is a fair range for this service? After all, I do not want to price myself out of a client.

Well there are going to be pros and cons to both. It boils down to one thing: TIME Is the cost-benefit ratio of your company doing this going to be worth it? In other words, are you proficient enough in social media to maintain constant interaction with customers on whatever platform(s) use choose to use (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.)

If you DO have time, awesome. That’s going to give your visitors a sense of uniqueness. Your voice and passion for your business will come across to them in your constant updates and interactions with them.

If you DON’T have time, it’s not the end of the world. There are reputable companies out there that deal exclusively with this. The only draw back is, obviously, that you could be paying large amounts of money for a QUALITY, targeted, service. This is another thing that needs to be figured into your cost-benefit equation. Weigh the cost (time, quality interaction, and $) of your company doing social media, then weigh the cost (time, quality interaction, and $) to outsource this. Which is more beneficial for you company?

Hope this has helped, good luck.
