How small business can perform better than brands in social media by focusing on simple goals, being human, ensuring satisfaction and measuring ROI...
I currently have the fortune to experience two different fronts of digital marketing. Under Plural, I work with brands and, with SocialMouths I mostly jam with small business, personal brands, and bloggers.
One of the reasons I absolutely love this setup is that they are two different worlds in how the social web is approached, how it’s handled and how success is measured.
So I’m here to tell you that, despite the ridiculous budgets and unlimited resources, small business has a huuuge advantage over brands when it come to social media.
Here are my thoughts:
Strategy. Or Not?

We are living in a world where influence is migrating from offline to online.
The ability to influence is also moving from local to global. Its reach is also transitioning to mobile devices.
Reputation and influence can now be gained faster and reach further than in any other time in history.
One definition of Influence is “the capacity to have an effect on the character, development or behavior of someone or something”
To be truly successful you must have the ability and power to influence.

A simple guide to understanding how to effectively use Twitter hashtags in marketing and how you shouldn't! [note mg]
Every time we host live webinars (and as this long list suggests, that is quite often), quite a few attendees get confused about what to do with the hashtag we provide. What is it? What does it do? How do you create one? Let me explain!
What is a hashtag?
A Twitter hashtag is simply a keyword phrase, spelled out without spaces, with a pound sign (#) in front of it. For example, #inboundchat and #ILoveChocolate are both hashtags.
What does a hashtag do?
A Twitter hashtag ties the conversations of different users into one stream, which you can find by searching the hastag in Twitter Search or by using a third-party monitoring tool such as HootSuite.

"Basically, semantic search is technology that tries to determine what users mean when they type in a certain keyword.
They explore the semantics of those words…or the meaning behind them."

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are great for building your brand -- but how do you find new customers? That's seems be the question from everyone in business! [note mg]
We all know social media is an important tool for brand awareness and customer acquisition — but how exactly are you supposed to convert random Twitter and Facebook users into real-life customers? Well, that depends.
Different brands have different challenges when it comes to customer acquisition: “If you’re our customer, you’ve signed up for a year-long service, unlike the Starbucks of the world, where you can be a customer by coming in for a cup of coffee one day,” says Lisa D’Aromando, social media community manager at Equinox. Whether you’re a clothing shop, a restaurant or a subscription service, you must tailor your strategy so that it makes sense for your brand. That said, there are a few universal ways to help your company attract new faces on the social web...

Ever walk up to one of those booths at the mall to buy a new phone? Don’t you just hate the pressure that those people try to put on you?
I don’t know about you, but I hate that kind of sales tactics and hate people who do it to me. I hate it not only because it annoys me… but because it doesn’t work.
So what does work? Content marketing, which is simply giving people something valuable for free so that you can build a relationship up with them that eventually, leads to easy sales.
If you want easy sales, then you need to learn how to be a great content marketer. Here’s a crash course that will tell you everything you need to know.

What’s the scariest Halloween costume you can imagine this year? The villain from this year’s hot horror movie? Zombies, vampires, the devil? Fat Elvis? Not for me.
The most terrifying specter that might show up on my doorstep begging for a Snickers bar is … The aggressive, pushy salesman. (Shudder.) Do you feel the same? Does selling make you feel … dirty?
You’re not naïve, of course. You know that somebody has to put up a website, write an advertisement, or pound the pavement to drum up sales, or you won’t have enough money to keep the lights on.
But can’t it be somebody else?

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post here at problogger.net about how Firepole Marketing makes money.
I explained that even though we’re less than a year old, we’ve already made over $20,000, and that over half of that came from offline sources.
We wanted to know how other bloggers make their money. Is it all online, or do they make their money offline as well?
In other words, we wanted to know if they were Semi-Local.
In October 2011, we surveyed 153 people; 107 who were already Semi-Local, and 46 who aspired to be. We asked a number of questions to find out what was really involved in becoming and being Semi-Local. Here are the highlights of what we learned.

What if, 30 days from now, you had a finished, well-crafted eBook sitting on your hard drive, ready to distribute and sell?

If those writers can do that, you can write a 20,000 word ebook in a month.
