HOW TO FIND TWITTER INFLUENCERS

HOW TO FIND TWITTER INFLUENCERS A Guest Blog Post By Jenna Brandon     When it comes to making buying decisions, it’s rarely ads that influence our choices. All those “buy me” messages that saturate modern web space stopped impressing us years ago. Nowadays it’s honest reviews and recommendations from independent sources that rule the day. Those “independent sources” are often industry leaders whose opinions on things are widely respected and listened to. One single tweet from such person about your company can do more for your business than the most expensive advertising campaign, especially if you’re only starting to build up your audience. But how do you get this person to pay attention to your humble self? Hopefully, this article will clear things up. Keep reading if you want to become a Twitter outreach rockstar.   (1) How To Find The Right People To Reach Out To!!   Getting started with influencer marketing is hard if you have no idea who the influencers in your industry are.

INTEGRATING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING FOR MAXIMUM EFFECT

INTEGRATING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING A Case Study By Guest Blogger Dr. Prash Shanbhag   Britney Spears now has close to “50 MILLION TWITTER FOLLOWERS” but she does sooooo much more than just Twitter. What makes Britney’s Social Media marketing outstanding is the way in which she and her team have leveraged several platforms to build and grow her brand. This is where most social media marketers fall short – They treat each the social media channels as stand alone “mouth pieces”. Ideally, all the social media channels need to be work in harmony by feeding off one another.   Britney has her own website (www.BritneySpears.com) Two You Tube channels (Britney Spears & Britney TV) One Twitter account and a Facebook page.   These social media channels have evolved, since they were launched over the course of several years. For example, here is the You Tube video for Britney’s own fragrance ‘Radiance’   Radiance (Choose Your Own Destiny)    To increase the fan engagement further, this post was followed by a link to the Britney Spears Facebook presence.  An app used the main theme of the advertising spot, a fortune teller, and showed users different pictures of themselves and their friends in the form of a crystal ball. These pictures, were taken from the respective user’s Facebook photo albums, and were followed by a video of the Radiance spot itself. Britney Spears and her team use these platforms to remain in close touch with her fan base and to interact with the target audience on a regular basis.   Make Your Fans Feel Special   When someone decides to follow you on social media, it’s...
BUILD TRUST BY SHARING YOUR STORY

BUILD TRUST BY SHARING YOUR STORY

BUILD TRUST BY SHARING YOUR STORY Guest Blog Post By Andrea Scoretz   Storytelling serves as a way to make information stick in the reader’s brain.  It makes complex ideas understandable. A good story allows the reader to relate to you and your plight, creating an instant connection. A good story seduces us to the point that we cannot stop reading it.   We simply must know what happens next!! It’s the same feeling one get’s when binge-watching a Netflix series. 🙂 We want people to feel emotionally invested in the stories we share.  We want people to care about what we have to say. The human brain wants to find the meaning in what we are reading. It actively seeks out meaning, even when we don’t notice it’s doing so. The meaning our brain decodes from stories has the ability to influence our entire lives. The stories we share are seeds. The quality and level of authenticity is the water that turns those seeds into a lasting, mutually beneficial relationship. What you share with your reader has the potential to impact them for the rest of their lives. That’s the power of storytelling for business. Words are insanely powerful. In fact, writers are some of the most powerful people in the world. Which means quality is incredibly important if we want to connect with our readers. Particularly if we want our readers to respond favorably. (IE: click link/buy product/like page etc) We are in the age of content shock (I wrote about that here). To permeate the content shock wall we need to make sure our stories are succinct. The message must...
