Does Size Matter In Social Networks Or Is It How You Use It

When using social networks for business is it good to have tens of thousands of friends on Facebook? Should you be following as many people as possible on Twitter? Do you need to connect with every single person you meet on Linked In?

When I went to college there was a guy I knew named Christian who attended the larger University in the city. Now he had a simple goal while in school. To get as much tail as possible. He was a simple guy. He didn’t want to be bothered with dating, buying girls meals or being the douche bag that buys a woman drinks all night to only see her go home with someone else. By his calculations there were roughly 15,000 – 20,000 women on campus. Every year the campus would lose and gain roughly another 2,000 – 2,500. He figured that if he just cut to the chase and asked every woman he met to sleep with him right then and there (whether he thought they were attractive or not) he would make out alright during his four years in school just based on the numbers alone. It would take some balls, but he was up to the task.

Most, if not all, of the aps out there being used for social networking have the ability to add friends, colleagues, followers, Plurkers or whatever. The philosophy most marketers use is the same old as dirt, tried and true Marketing 101 tactic of expose your brand to as many people as possible in order to get the filter down effect for your business. Connect with as many people as possible (which is extremely easy through social networking) and the numbers alone will generate some interest in whatever it is your selling or promoting. That’s why Super Bowl ads cost so much. The commercials are seen by so many people at one time the expense is worth the cost. Well, many business owners and self proclaimed social networking experts use a similar module of if you friend all of them, some will eventually buy.

Christian wasn’t best looking guy in the world but he was in reasonably good shape, funny and personable. His plan finally paid off for him about four months and 100 rejections in. He hooked up with a pretty college sophomore that had just been dumped by a guy she had been dating since she was a freshman in high school. When asked if it was worth all the hassle and embarrassment of the previous months his response was, “Hell yeah!”

The model of exposing your product, business or brand to as many people as possible has been around for as long as there has been marketing and the reason is because it does work. It works in print, tv, radio, direct mail and even online. But realize this, social networking is a new and different medium than we have ever been exposed to before. The dynamics are different than that of the marketing resources we have been dealing with for the last hundred years or so. Naturally, the first instinct of most marketing experts is to do what has worked for them on previous successful campaigns and apply it to this new medium. But this old way of thinking may not be in your company’s best interest.

Toward the end of my first year in school watching Christian hit on every woman he came across on weekends became quite a show for everyone that knew him. He was relentless. He truly didn’t give a damn what the women thought of him. If they said, “No” he’d just move on to the next one. It was akin to a small child asking everyone at a family gathering for a cookie before dinner until someone finally breaks down and gives them one. By the end of the year, from what I remember, he ended up hooking up with 3 or 4 different women using this tactic. After all the time and money he spent in bars (the place he found women would be more likely to accept this blunt type of offer) he felt it was worth all the rejections and considered his first year of chasing tail in college a success.

The point of social networking for business is exactly the same as real life business networking. It’s to meet people, get to know them and have them open up their contacts to you. In real life networking this process can take some time getting the trust built up before they start referring you business. In social networking online many times a person’s entire list of contacts is open to you the second they “friend” or connect with you. This really accelerates the process. You can instantly start corresponding with their contacts adding more and more “friends” at an extremely fast rate but is this really such a smart thing to do?

Midway through year 2 Christian’s tactics started backfiring on him. He began hitting on girls he had already hit on before. Sometimes this was due to the fact that he was drunk off his a$$ but most of the time it was because he had hit on so many the year before he flat out didn’t remember them. Then some of the girls started warning their friends about the creepy guy that hits on everyone. Some of ones that actually got with him also started telling their friends to stay away from him because he was a jerk and he started to get a bad reputation around campus. By the end of the second year he abandoned his plan because it wasn’t working anymore. Too many of the women he met already had a preconceived notion that he was just a player or that he was just a flat out jerk.

Social networking works both ways. You get to see all the contacts that every you know knows and they also get to see everyone you know. Savvy business people can tell when someone is really using the social networks to meet people and when they are just collecting contacts. Can you really correspond with 10,000 different people on a regular basis? How about 1,000? What about 100? Do you have the time in your schedule to follow up with hundreds of emails a week? You may counter with, “Some of those may be real people trying to business with me and if I didn’t have all the contacts then that person wouldn’t have contacted me in the first place” and you would be right. But what if you never opened the email because of the fact that the bulk of your “friends” send you so must spam and junk mail that you can’t keep up with everything. Or maybe, because you’ve received so many messages with pictures of Britney Spears’ gooch from all your “friends” through one particular social network that you don’t even bother to login to that one anymore. If it becomes too big to manage then you may miss more than you get and what happens to a business that doesn’t get back to potential clients? Those unsatisfied potential clients tell their friends. Remember, people are more likely to bitch about bad service to their friends than praise good service so be careful. With social networking this message can get out to many, many people very quickly.

Year 3 is when Christian’s tactics from his freshman year really came back to bite him in the a$$. He met a freshman named Kat that he had become smitten with. They started hanging out a lot and the time came when Christian wanted to get serious (in a dating, not sex way). Now while he was courting her she was also hearing the stories from other women around campus. She eventually told him that, even though he seemed like a nice guy, she couldn’t get serious with someone with his reputation and dumped him.

Many of the social networks have games where you earn points, or karma, or prestige for connecting with as many people as possible. They will also reward you for joining groups or getting others to sign up.  This is in their best interest, not yours. Connect with people that will help you achieve your business goals. It’s better to have a smaller, controllable network than to have something that gets out of control where you can’t follow up with people that may want, or need your services.

One of the most written about success stories on social networking is President Obama’s social networking campaign he ran during the election. He had hundreds of thousands of people following his every move. He got his message out to millions of people online. But there is one other thing… He also had an entire staff of people running it for him. Social networking is about connecting with lots of people but you have to be able to manage it. So make sure you don’t just become a contact collector. Make sure you can actually correspond with your network.

Your business isn’t a game so don’t treat it like one.

How a Blog Can Generate Your Business Money

If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense.

What’s the point of doing a blog for your business if it doesn’t eventually put money into your pocket? Seriously, blogging is time consuming and as a business owner your time is valuable. If you normally bill out at a rate of $200 per hour for your time and you spend 2 hours during the work week blogging you eventually want to get your $400 bucks back right? Of course you do. After all, you didn’t get into business to give out free advice to strangers online. You got into business to make money. But the question is, how does blogging for your business actually turn into real money?

Now the metrics and process of turning a blog reader into a customer can probably be analyzed and interpreted a zillion different ways so I’m going to do it in as simplified a manner as possible. I’ll be using the most likely scenarios. And just so you know, I’m not just pulling these scenarios out of my a$$. These have either happened to me, one of my clients or a colleague.

Here are a couple of scenarios that should paint you a picture of how a business blog could actually generate you money.

The Do-It-Yourself Guy

A D0-It-Yourselfer searches online for advice on how to (insert your service here). They find some of your blog postings and read them. They take your advice and successfully complete their project. Months later they have another project that is a little over their head. They go the bookmark of your blog and try to find answers but can’t find any or realize that they need more help, supplies or whatever. They remember reading that you are in their area and give you a call because of how your previous post helped them out. You then turn them into a client.

The Search Engines

A potential customer searches online for a service they need and that you provide. Your blog postings are all over the search results (FYI – your blog postings may show up faster, higher and more often than your actual web site pages do). They read your blog posting and like what you have to say or just straight up click on the link to your web site, contact you, and become a customer.

The Referral

Someone on the other side of the country whom you’ve never met becomes a regular reader of your blog and likes the advice you give. They end up connecting with you through social media and you begin corresponding with them on a semi-regular basis. Someone they know, that lives in your area, needs your product or service and they refer that person to you. That referral becomes your client.

The Colleague

You regularly post your blog updates to your various social networking groups and by doing so your online colleagues realize that you really do know your stuff. One of them eventually needs your assistance on a project, contacts you and becomes a client.

Your Blog Blows Up

Your blog blows up generating hundreds of thousands of readers a month. At that point you start making money by selling advertising on your blog.

The Facebook Friend

One of your Facebook friends has been following your blog postings on Facebook. They don’t really do much online other than check email and post junk on Facebook (or MySpace). They never would have ever even known about your blog if it wasn’t for Facebook but they’ve been following it and when the time comes around for them to use you service they give you a call.

Over All Branding

Someone needs your service. They recall your business but can’t put a finger on where they heard about you. Was it your web site, blog, business card, flyer or are you the person they were following on Twitter? The point is, they remember you from something. It may not be any one particular thing you do that generates a new client but it may be a culmination of many things that gets them to walk through your door.

Basically, what it all boils down to is the fact that your blog can show off your expertise in whatever area you are an expert in. You can get into more depth and tackle more offbeat subjects that you would on your web site. Potential clients and colleagues can get to know your take on various things without being sold to or without having ever met you. This will help them formulate their opinion of you and your abilities in a non sales related environment. Now most of the people that read your blog will never become clients or refer you any business but you are betting that some (no matter how few) will. And you are also banking on the hope that maybe one of those few will become a regular client or refer you even more business. And maybe one of those referrals becomes your top referral source or #1 customer in terms of income.

The fact is this, blogging is free and the economy sucks right now. You spend whatever amount of you think it’s worth and stick with it. Make sure you track the results and analyze them with a specialist or your marketing team. Your ROI on a business blog may not be crystal clear for a very long time. This is a very soft form of marketing and there are a variety of other factors that can play into your success.

I’ll leave you with this. A business blog won’t hurt. Some businesses will get more out of blogging than others. As your only be-all-end-all online marketing tool it’s probably a waste of your time. As part of a larger online strategy a blog can be a powerful tool that actually puts money into your pocket.

Read Part 1 How to Blog for Business

How to Blog for Business

To start out, I’m not going to waste your time explaining what a blog is. You’re reading one right now. Look at it, examine it, feel it, taste it. But if you still don’t know then you can read a very thorough, long and boring explanation here on Wikipedia and then come back here to read the rest.

This is all about getting people (potential clients) to actually read it. It’s one thing to post your ramblings online, but it’s an entirely different thing to get people to be able find your musings with all the crap that’s on the Internet and to have them actually care about what you are writing. So let’s jump right into this.

Be prepared to do it on a regular basis.

I would suggest giving this a shot for at least six months on a weekly basis. Now, this is not really how blogs are designed to work. Their purpose is  to actually be updated regularly throughout the day but if you’re employed then that can be a little tricky. Now it would be preferable to be able to update your blog daily or even bi-weekly but hell, I don’t even do that, so just start with weekly posts and then move on from there.

Be consistent.

Select a day of the week as well as a time of day to post and keep that schedule throughout. This is actually very important. Consistency will keep people coming back and hopefully create anticipation among current readers.

Write about something people will actually care about.

Now this is geared to business blogging. There are some personal blogs out there where people write about whatever the hell pops into their heads and some people actually read their crap but you are doing this for business. Since you are doing this for business purposes then show your expertise by giving advice or offering your opinions on industry trends. Just make sure you have enough content for at least 26 postings if you’re planning on doing this weekly for 6 months. (My math is right isn’t it?)

Don’t post advertisements for your business.

Give people actual information they can use. People won’t ever come back if all you do is post 5 paragraph ads for your business. Try to make it informative and a little bit entertaining.

Do post a link to your web site, Facebook page, Twitter page, Linked In page or something.

At the end of each post it is common practice to post your digital signature. Such as the one I have at the bottom of this post. Your name, title, company and a link or two are usually alright. This way, if someone is interested they can read more about you, start following you, friend you or whatever.

Make sure you completely fill out your profile.

If you sign up for one of the free blogs like WordPress or Blogger make sure you don’t just blow through the sign up process skipping every step. Completely fill out your profile. Get as much information about you and your business out there as you can. Being that you won’t be using your blog postings to sell, your profile can be used to fill people in on your business and what you have to offer.

Ping it.

Once you make your postings you need to let the blog services on the Internet know that your blog has been updated. This is called “pinging”. Now some of the blog hosting web sites do this automatically and some require that you type in some urls to do this. There are also web sites like Ping-O-Matic that do this for you. This can be a little technical for some but is an important part of letting everyone know that your blog has been updated.

Digg it.

Digg.com has a blog submit form where you can submit new blog postings to their site. You have to be a member to do this, but don’t worry it’s free. Now your blog posting will zip through their index at the speed of light but it is worth the 20 seconds it takes doing this. Now Digg.com also has a variety of features you can use to increase the exposure but that is another topic for another day. (If anyone reading this has written an article on using Digg.com feel free to comment and I’ll amend this post with your link right here in the article.)

Bookmark it.

Technorati , Delicious and a slew of other bookmarking sites are out there for you to promote your blog postings. These are similar to the previously mentioned Digg. They are basically ways for people to share links with each other. Now these bookmarking sites are like social networking sites so just signing up and posting stuff to no one won’t do you any good. You’ll need to be active in their different communities and such to build your contacts that share links with you. But again, that’s another topic for another day.

Add your blog to your other social networking sites.

If you’re signed up other social networking sites like Facebook or Linked In I have good news for you. They have widgets built in that allow you to have your blog postings appear in your profile. Other social networking sites have similar features, you will probably have to look into their various “Other Features”, “Plug Ins” or “Widgets” sections to find them but if you have the ability to do so then do it.

Add a social networking widget to your blog.

A social networkling widget is a little plug in that allows people to share your blog with others. An example of one is Add This. Now this will go on your actual blog web site. Depending on which blog you are using and if you using the blog’s server or hosting it yourself adding this can be as easy as a click of a button or you may need to have your web or IT guy help you. It’s something you want to do either way.

Twitter it (but be careful).

Using Twitter or any other micro blog to promote a new blog entry is a good way of promoting your stuff but be careful. Excessive self serving postings on micro blogs like Twitter can also make you look like a tool or come awful close to spamming. Make sure your micro blog postings don’t all read “New blog posting…” over and over again. Throw in some other stuff too… but alas, I’ve gone over using Twitter to spam already in a previous post.

Announce your new blog postings in your newsletter.

If you have an online newsletter announce your blog postings in it. Post the first few sentences or a brief summary with a link to your blog.

Announce your new postings in any online groups you are part of.

Now this one you also need to be careful with. This is also where posting general information that people actually would care about helps you. Many online groups will allow you to post links to articles and such that the group may find interesting. This is a great place to promote your blog postings but be careful as to not piss everyone off by becoming spammy. Many users look at online groups as places to spam the hell out of people and posting your blog updates may be looked upon as spam. If you are unsure, make sure to check with your administrators before blasting out links to your blog. And if you ARE allowed to do so then only announce your updates once. Don’t resubmit every hour on the hour. That is spamming. If it doesn’t catch on like wild fire with one announcement then tough, try again on your next update.

Post comments in other people’s blogs.

Read other blogs that cover similar topics. If your blog posting relates to something you read in someone elses blog posting then comment on it and include a link to your blog. They may, or may not, include your comment but if they do it’s more promotion for your blog.

Add a link to your blog on all your web sites.

If you have a web site for your business you need to add a link to your blog and have your blog link back to your web site. You also need to add a link to your blog in all your profiles on any any social networking sites you are signed up for.

Now, how does all this generate actual business?

Why Your Web Site Isn’t Working

Oh, why does your web site suck so?

Two of the top questions I am often asked is , “Why isn’t my web site working?” and “What’s wrong with my web site?”. Luckily, for all of you reading this,  the answer to these questions usually revolve around the same set of issues so I can go ahead and answer them for you now without even looking at your stuff or billing you for the time. Think of this as a free Viagra for the Web sample from Digi Donkey. Just a little something to get your junk working again.

Before I begin we need to lay some parameters and define what “not working” actually refers to. For most people it means, “I dropped some serious cabbage on this piece of sh!t and it hasn’t produced any results. Either the phone isn’t ringing, people aren’t buying your stuff or no one is filling out your 20 item questionnaire.

You’ll notice that I left out, “People aren’t even visiting in the first place.”  The reason why is that most people who come to me don’t even have a clue as to how many visitors their web site is getting in the first place. There are business owners that will drop thousands of dollars on a web site yet don’t track the results. This isn’t TV, radio or print where you have to guess. Web site traffic can be tracked a variety of different ways and a good start would be to have your web person sign you up for a free Google Analytics account and begin tracking your traffic. You really can’t take an educated stab at fixing something if you don’t have a clue what is wrong and studying your traffic is a good start. Are you getting visitors? If so, are you losing them within 10 seconds of landing on your page? Are they clicking around but not calling? Are they clicking around but not buying?

To keep it simple, as well as give me another topic for another day, we’ll assume you’re getting traffic but not converting it into business. Here are some of most common issues with business web sites that prevent them from turning visitors into customers.

Your web site just plain sucks.

The design just doesn’t work for what you are trying to represent. This usually due to fact that you had your brother, his friend, an engineer, yourself, a douche-bag or whatever design your site for you. With all of the competition nowadays you have to have a professional looking  presence online if you want to be taken seriously.

Your contact form is way too f*cking  long.

This happens to a lot of people. They want to know ever damn thing about the person, usually to pre-qualify them. Now why in hell would someone want to spend 20 minutes filling out your form? You need to simplify. A good rule of thumb is ask for their name, email and phone number. Don’t ask for their entire life history. Keep it simple and the chances of them filling it out will increase. Remember, they don’t know you and they have no idea what you’re actually going to do with the personal information they put in. Again, keep it simple and some thing else you can do to increase form submissions is to…

Give them something for filling out your form.

Give them a reason to fill out your form other than the knowledge that they will have you calling them to follow up. Give them 10% off if they purchase or enter everyone who fills out the form into a drawing for a gift card to a restaurant chain. Just give them something. You’ll be surprised how many people will fill out an online form if they get something out of it besides your wonderful services.

Have a call to action on every page.

Your web site needs to have a purpose and if you’re not selling products right on the site then your purpose is most likely to generate leads. To do that you need a way to find out who is interested in your stuff and they need a way to let you know. You do that with a call to action. “Call now”, “Sign Up Now” or “Enter Now” are some good ones. Tell the visitors what you want them to do and make sure the phone number, email address or contact form is easily seen on every page. If you are trying to generate business from other states get yourself a toll free number so they don’t have to pay the toll charges. Make it easy for them and the chances of them contacting you will increase.

Start a free newsletter.

Some visitors may not be ready to use your services when they visit your site the first time. They may be pre-planning, price shopping or something else. A good way to stay in touch is by having them sign up for a free newsletter. Make it simple by only asking for name and email. Hell, you actually only need the email address. Then give them something for signing up like coupons available only to subscribers or entry into a monthly drawing like I mentioned earlier. Then you can keep marketing to them on a regular basis through the newsletter.

Get rid of all the damn Flash animation.

Flash looks cool and it can give your site a visual edge if done right. It hurts though if the damn thing takes too long to load. If someone has to wait for your site to load, the chances of them bailing out increases dramatically.

Suck it up and hire a real photographer to take pictures of your products (especially food).

Now when I say hire a real photographer I mean someone you actually have to pay that makes a living taking photos. Not your sister-in-law with the expensive camera. If you are selling stuff online through your own web site a good clear photo could be the difference between them buying or bolting. This is especially true when dealing with food. For the most part, food looks like sh!t when not photographed by a professional. You may actually turn people off when you take your own poorly lit, pasty, blurry ass pictures.

Don’t give away the cow man.

Some people give away too much information on their web site. They are so thorough that consumers have no reason to contact them. They can make their decision right then and there. This is fine on an E-Commerce site but if you are trying to generate leads, only give them enough info to peak their interest. That way they have to contact you to get the rest of the info and you can work your sales magic on them. That’s the point right – to have them contact you. So scale it back a little. You’d be surprised how many people increased the effectiveness of their web sites just by cutting the information down to a minimum.

Be honest with youself about your product or service.

This is the one most people have a hard time dealing with. Does your product or service just plain suck? Is there really a demand for it or did you get sucked into some sort of scam. Now, I’m not speaking to real businesses, I’m speaking about get rich online schemes. If you have already dropped a ton of scratch I sympathize with you but no amount of web design, Flash, video, SEO or masterful online marketing is going to help if the public looks at your stuff as crap or as a scam. You need to get an objective opinion before sinking a ton of money into marketing something that possibly no one wants.

Now I didn’t cover everything that could be wrong but, like I stated before, these are the most common issues I have run into. Talk to your web designer about correcting these issues and if they won’t help hire someone who will.

First Annual Mr. Awesome Awards for Networking Tools

Normally I would use this valuable cyber-space for giving no-holds-barred advice to business owners regarding marketing, but this week you are all in for something special. This week I’ll be giving out the 1st Annual Mr. Awesome Awards for Networking Tools.

Now for those of you who don’t already get the joke let me explain.

VH1, purveyor of such fine programming like “People Who Used to be Celebrities But Are Now on Drugs”, “Skanks Who’ll Do Anything to Get on TV Like Sleep With Bret Michaels” and “Why the F@ck Would Any Woman In Her Right Mind Want to Date Flava Flav” has now come out with a new show that sets the bar so low that the heat from the Earth’s core has already begun melting it. Their new entry into the world of “The Honeymooners”,  “The Cosby Show”, “All in the Family” and “MASH” is called “Tool Academy”. In this show, disgruntled women tricked their @-hole boyfriends into believing they were going onto a show where they would be competing for the title of “Mr. Awesome”.  (I’m not making this up, this is a real show that’s on like every other day). So these dip sh!ts get on the show only to learn that their disgruntled girlfriends are really just trying to change them for the better because they are such tools.

That’s where this week’s blog comes in. I asked myself, where in the business world do you meet the most tools?  Well… networking of course.
