social media: If You're Going To Sell On LinkedIn - Fill In Your Profile!
- 04/06/21 08:20 AM
I'm very active on LinkedIn, and as a result I get approached frequently by B2B salespeople from a wide variety of organizations trying to either sell me their product or service, or else attempting to get me onboard to promote it to my network. I've noticed something interesting about these folks, however. They seem to be so focused on "the art of the deal" that they neglect to fill in their online profiles. Some are missing profile pictures - many more lack descriptive statements of who the person is and what they do. Why they're contacting me is no mystery: a slew of … (5 comments)

- 03/30/21 08:59 PM
The days of "going viral" on social media are long gone, but it still holds real value as a shortcut for reaching out to your audience without spammy email, paying for ads, or SEO elbow-grease. After all, your goal is to tell people about your listings - and social media gives you an easy path to reach not only the personal contacts in your network, but their friends & family as well. A recent study on the number of social media users on popular networks shows some impressive figures: Facebook – +2B users worldwide; YouTube – 1.5B; Instagram – 700M; Twitter – 328M; … (1 comments)
social media: The Best Days & Times To Publish On Social Media
- 03/30/21 08:58 PM
It's well known in the marketing world that there are better & worse times of the day to run ads. The same is true for marketing niches, such as email marketing - and not surprisingly, there are peak times for maximum social engagement as well. Let's take a look at what the statistics tell us about the best times to post on the top social media networks: Facebook: The best days to post on Facebook are Saturdays and Sundays (both register 32% users) and Tuesdays and Fridays (both register 18% users.)

social media: Is Social Media Marketing Still Effective?
- 03/26/21 10:18 PM
Social media marketing is still effective, but it’s becoming over-saturated, and it’s always been unpredictable. I use it on a daily basis - both organic SMM and paid ads on the major networks, but I don’t rely on it to make my numbers. That would be foolish. Back in the day, if you had something truly quirky & original, it might go viral - and for some companies that was the equivalent of winning the lottery. Nowadays social media is saturated enough that truly viral topics are pretty rare, but that doesn’t keep marketers from “chasing the dragon” with their clients money. Rather … (0 comments)
social media: What Social Network Should I Be Advertising On?
- 03/26/21 09:48 PM
When it comes to social media for marketing, there are 2 types of marketing you’ll be doing: free brand-building & paid advertisements. The “top” social media channels vary depending on what you’re doing. Establishing Your Brand: Facebook Business Page, Google+, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn. Those are the key focus areas to work on, and you want to create a rich, in-depth profile for your company on each of them. It’s also worth building out profiles on local business directories as well. Paid Advertising: Facebook/Instagram & Google Adwords (and you can run those on YouTube, Google+, which is why I’m including it). I’ve … (0 comments)
social media: Be Careful With The Content Marketing
- 03/25/21 03:32 PM
Content is everywhere - content worth consuming is not. This is why relevancy will grow in importance in the next decade. Right now, every online business, wannabe celebrity, and mommy-blogger on the planet is cranking out blogs, YouTube videos, and tweets as fast as they can to build an audience. Unfortunately, the need to build & retain an audience has created a media arms-race where each “channel” needs to continue producing simply to stay current - as well as keep increasing the pitch & volume of their message to “out message” the competition. The problem is that everybody’s so busy so much noise … (1 comments)

social media: --- Does THIS Look Like Twitter? ---
- 11/26/10 05:09 PM
JOIN STATUSPIPE! The picture on your right is for StatusPipe, a new (free) service that I just rolled out for agents & workgroups to interact with each other and clients on real-estate projects. Does it resemble Twitter? It probably should, since StatusPipe is loosely based on the Laconia Status.Net engine, which is nearly a 1:1 knockoff on the popular Twitter microblogging service. So, you may wonder, where's the benefit in Status Pipe if I've already got a Twitter account? Well, the answer is that StatusPipe is for the kind of team-messaging that you really don't want on your Twitter account, because (frankly) … (6 comments)

I’m Tim Ventura, and I’ve been doing web & e-commerce for a long, long time (15 years, sigh…).
