Social Media Marketing (SMM) For Your Business By Marc King                  What is Social Media? Often referred to as the 5th "P" in marketing Social Media is about "Participation" Social media unlike traditional media such as newspapers, television, books, and radio is fundamentally different. It is not finite meaning there are no limits. Audience participation, adding comments or editing the stories is the social differentiator. Then the content itself by virtue of it's electronic format can also take the form of text, graphics, audio or video. These media can be combined and made available via feeds that can be downloaded by users with feed readers or pulled into other distribution sites featuring mash-ups of content from various sources. The term Social Media has several different connotations, however in the context of internet marketing, it refers to a group or network of web properties primarily driven by the users. For example, blogs, forums, and video sharing sites. Social Media Optimization (SMO) is the process of trying to get one's content more widely distributed across multiple networks.     Adland Digest Sponsor Message BuyTryDecide.com goes live - Promote yourself now!

(Spot II)   There are two sides to Social Media, the first side is made up of on-page tactics that a webmaster can do to improve their website for inclusion in network services. This is known as SMO as stated above. Such optimization includes adding links to services such as Technorati, Digg, and Del.icio.us so that their pages can be easily "saved and submitted" to and for these services. Social Media Marketing (SMM) is the off-page tactics side of the equation. This includes writing content that is remarkable, and news-worthy. Marketing this content is done by promoting links on the services mentioned as well as more traditional SEO tactics or creating video that may become viral when posted on Youtube or other video sites. Social Media is all about being social so this off-page work includes getting involved in other blogs, forums and online communities.   About the Author: Marc King is an Educator, Author, and Internet Entrepreneur.

(Spot III)   Set Yourself a Schedule To Make Sure YOU Succeed Online!   By Danny Clare   Online businesses are much different than its traditional brick and mortar counterpart. Working online affords you the opportunity to do many things that a traditional business does not. High at the top of the list is the freedom it gives you. Freedom to take breaks when you want to, to work when you feel like it and to decide not to work whenever you please. While this sounds like a good thing, it often causes many to take too many breaks. Inaction is a problem amongst online business owners. Often, we find ourselves reading forum posts and sales page after sales page that we find a few hours have passed and we have done nothing. It is easy to get caught up in the NEXT big thing and the NEXT big opportunity that we shuck the projects we have been working on and jump ship to the latest money making schemes. There is a great term for this of which I am unsure who the originator was. The term is analysis paralysis. Reading too much, thinking too much and not taking any sort of action. We get too worried that we will fail or we take too much time rethinking an article or squeeze page that we do not do anything about it. The great Wayne Gretzky once said, "You miss one hundred percent of the shots that you do not take." If you don't do anything, then don't expect anything. Failure is a part of business. Failure is not a bad thing and in my opinion is essential to success. Failure is the world's greatest teacher. While some may hit a home run right out of the gate, many will not. Deciding to take action and keep taking action while learning how to use failure as a teaching tool will be the difference between success and being just another failed business owner. If you are serious about making your online business a success then you need to start treating it as a business and not a hobby. Being at home makes it easier for you not to take any action. Setting a daily schedule of tasks will get you on the right track. For example you can start to set daily, weekly and even monthly tasks and goals. Set a to do list of things to complete such as writing five articles or updating your web site with fresh content. Setting such a schedule forces you to take action and forces you to get things done daily. Once you have completed your tasks then allow yourself to read forum posts or do other online surfing. If you look at successful online business owners, you will find one common thing. There is one thing that separates them - they all are action takers and doers, not action observers. If you want to succeed in your online business, then you need to get in the game and start taking some shots. You may not make all of them, but the ones you do will be ever so sweet.
