FMB will have a great series of reports for the Gold Plus members coming up very soon including Micro Media Marketing. It took a while longer than we thought but the latest craze of Twitter is well and truely covered in there.
Let me re-phrase..latest craze? ok we wouldn’t recommend you just follow latest crazes but services such as Twitter are great for conversations, enhancing your reputation and building relationships.
Don’t just jump on there and follow millions of people, choose the ones that have influence and provide your own tweets with worthwhile breaking news in your own niche.
You can also use tools such as Twitter Tools or Twitterfeed to automate the process of adding blog post links to Twitter, in fact Troy Wray just gave me a heads up on Tweet My blog as well..at initial glance it looks pretty darn good.
If you post to your blog a lot you may be in danger of overwhelming your readers - if that’s the case try just using your best blog posts and submit those. Readers will just be put off by a whole list of blog links with no conversation. The worst tool we saw on someone’s twitter account recently was a ‘currently browsing’ plugin from FireFox…yes every website was listed on this guy’s feed…don’t go there.
Look out for our report onTwitter which guides you through the whole process with some revealing tactics to making the most of it!
New Media Marketing Plan Part 5 - Video Syndication
Creating a video for distribution to the video sharing directories is another ‘killer’ strategy. You can create a video very easily just using the free software on your PC – windows movie maker or imovie on the mac. Use still images to create a video with your website URL included.
If you’re selling products use screen capturing video software to show pictures of your products or to do a ‘how to ‘ video around your product.
Screencast software such as
Camtasia.(Techsmith.com) is excellent or if you can’t afford that go for Camstudio.org (open source and free). For ease of use and value try the Flip camcorder for live video – high quality and ‘stupid’ simple!
