York, NY --- October 28, 2011 .... Today is my birthday. But gifts
don't go one way here. What you are about to read are the eight
secrets to reaching millions online. Yeah, there have been many
other news and feature stories like this on the Net, but were
the authors on the Web since 1995? Are they integrated marketing
professionals?
First,
at least 80 percent of those who say that they "know"
social media are full of it. Yes, maybe they know how to post
a status update and create a banner ad but can they tell you about
POP, branding, display advertising, media placement, multi level
marketing?
Let's
separate the virgins from the pros (media professionals) and simply
count how many "friends" they have on Facebook, how
many contacts on LinkedIn and how many videos they have uploaded
to YouTube. Better yet, ask their clients if they have converted
their Internet traffic into real customers!
So
sit back, relax, pour yourself a cup coffee or a glass of wine
and enjoy the following. I have never gone public with these trade
secrets.
Am
I afraid that I will lose business by giving this away? No way.
Ya also got to be an excellent journalist turned digital marketing
and PR professional, one who knows how to write professionally.
Lastly, you have to know the search engines from before they were
born.
Got
a pen? Excuse me, I forgot, ya gonna copy and paste this. Right?
Can you at least give credit to the Leyden Digital PR, Social
Media Group. Thanks!
The
Web begins with an anchor. Your home base is a Website. And the
first place to start is with a domain name with keywords inside
that describe where and what you do. For me I am NewYorkSEOPr.com,
NewYorkDigitalPr.com,
IntegratedMarketingProfessional.com,
SocialMediaPioneer.com,
ReputationManagementPR.com,
SocialMediaPRTraining.com
and about 400 other domains that I use for targeted marketing
on the Net.
How
can you penetrate the Web in minutes and reach millions - use
Google News. This Google News story is an example
of this market penetration. In Google's search engines within
minutes of uploading this news story. Don't have a news portal
which is indexed by Google News? Then use PRWEB, PRNewswire,
PRLog, RushPRNews or one of the many PR distribution online media
channels.
They vary in cost and distribution channels but are well worth
it.
Optimize
your content - SEO - for the search engines. Stay away from Flash
and make your homepage keyword rich. Be sure to place those keywords
in the headline, META tags, description, inside links and your
URL.
Use
Blogs. Using a Google Blog at Blogger will assure you that your
Blog will be indexed within minutes by Google.
Create
a Facebook presence and work it. Add new friends, but do so slowly
as Facebook will disable you if it believes that you are spamming.
Create Facebook groups and invite your friends to join them -
from Facebook and from other marketing platforms such as print
ads, brochures and broadcast media - TV and radio.
Get
onto Twitter and network. Create new friends and announce what
you and your clients are doing. Follow others and have others
follow you as you enter your hash marks before popular keywords
to reach maximum reach.
Join
LinkedIn.com. After an infusion of several millions of dollars
a few years ago, LinkedIn became the place to find and make professional
contacts. Excellent for job hunting. But remember that when TIME,
AP, Reuters, CNN and or Le Monde come looking to interview
you, they will most likely find you on Facebook, same place that
the CIA, FBI, Mossad, MI5 and other INTEL organizations watch
your every move!
Side
note - the above mentioned INTEL organizations are among the best
when it comes to using the Net. They are only outdone by YouPorn.com
and Xhamster.com. Can't win them all!
People
love pictures. Moving pictures. Videos on YouTube can tell your
and your clients story with better ease than words. Produce a
30 second to 4 minute video on YouTube and get famous quick. Place
that YouTube video on your Website's home page.
PPC
which means pay per click on sponsored links on the Net such as
Google Adwords, is potent for getting your Web marketing campaign
launched. After your Web properties are in orbit, rely upon organic
Internet marketing, back links, SEO and Google New stories.
Did
I mention Wikipedia? No. You don't want to be there. It's the
same as using a public toilet - you never know who was there editing
before and after you. Stay away from the Wikipedia Curse!
Now
take all of your Web properties and advertise them in select general
and trade print media. Use both to bounce back and forth between
one another. Now ya smoking - you have just produced a cost-effective
viral marketing monster online.
Recent marketing studies indicate that when you integrate social
media and PR with print, TV and radio advertising - revenues jump.
That's a fact.
OK,
I lied. I just gave you 10 digital marketing secrets, not eight.
And there are many more from where these come from.
For the rest ya gotta pay me. Someone needs to pay for my children's
food!
By
the way, if your Internet marketing, social media or SEO company
has not provided you with the above information, its time for
you to move on and find a professional digital marketing and PR
firm which is substance, not style. And seek out mature, experienced
integrated marketing professionals. Go for someone who has been
working online for at least 10 years.
Steve
Jobs proved that age is no barrier. Just the reverse. Jobs, the
former Apple CEO, illustrated that classic PR, advertising and
marketing knowledge when combined with Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 sings.
Sings
with the sweetness of true success and ROI for your money and
efforts.
Happy birthday and share the gift.
