Social Network Which Pays Users to Post

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 10 Feb 2015 21:57:00 -0800

A new invite-only social network dubbed Tsu aims to solve the problem by paying users for actively posting on the platform as well as inviting their friends to join the network. In this article, we will discuss Tsu’s business model, features, and more.

What Tsu claims

Tsu’s philosophy is simple: users, or content generators, should be rewarded for their content. The startup claims it keeps only a ten percent cut of the advertisement revenue generated from a post in a given twenty-four-hour period, and passes the remaining ninety percent to users. From this amount, fifty percent goes to the owner of the content, while the remaining fifty percent is distributed using the “rule of infinite thirds.” The person who recruited the content owner gets one-third, the one who recruited that person gets one-ninth, and so on.

Obviously, you’ll need to have a good number of followers and your posts need to be engaging in order to earn better. You also get paid when someone you invited actually joins Tsu. An important point worth noting is that Tsu also pays you for content hosted on other platforms. For example, if you already monetize your videos on Youtube, you can share them on Tsu and earn more. Once the accumulated amount in your Tsu account hits the $100 mark, you can cash it out.

Aside from earning from your content, Tsu also lets you control and build your social network, something which you can do by passing around your personal shortcode to the ones you want to invite to the platform who can then follow you. This makes Tsu an invite only platform, although it isn’t hard to get on-board, as you’ll see a lot of Tsu members sharing their personal shortcodes online in a bid to attract more followers (if you want to register, you can use my shortcode: http://www.tsu.co/viralpx)

5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Social Media Marketing Agency

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 8 Sep 2014 00:12:00 -0700

Today, 90 percent of businesses use social media marketing because of its ability to reach consumers. Social media is the most popular online activity right now and Americans on average spend more than 3 hours a day on social networks, which rivals almost every other pastime including television.

Social media marketing efforts have the ability to increase brand awareness, brand loyalty and impact sales. But, at the same time, many businesses have no strategy in place. For some businesses, that means bringing in an outside agency to optimize current activities, create a new strategy, effectively implement the plan, and then make adjustments based on the available data. Before any brand hires a social media marketing agency, they must ask these five questions to make sure they’re the right fit.

1. What distinguishes you from your competitors?

A Google search for social media agency comes up with more than 230 million results. There are thousands of agencies that claim to be social media experts, but not every single one is right for every brand. Brands need to look for a professional business that cares about the success of its clients and has a track record of that success.

Brands should ask potential agencies what sets them apart from the competition and specifically look for answers that include a solid track record, case studies, and a well-articulated and defined process. These answers show that a company is invested in creating a successful social media reputation and cares about the results of its clients.

2. Do I need to be on every site?

This is a question that will help brands determine the honesty and expertise of an agency. If the agency answers “yes”, it could be a warning flag for the brand. Not every social network is right for every business. Each network has a different set of users. For example, while Facebook users are 60 percent female, almost 80 percent of Pinterest users are women who are more likely to have more education and higher income.

Businesses should strategically choose platforms based on the target audience and goals. A reputable social media marketing agency will look into the target audience for a brand and then pick the social media platforms most likely to reach those audiences instead of simply advising every business to be active on every website.

3. What is your process for content development?

No social media strategy can work without having quality content to post consistently. When a brand is interviewing agencies, one of the most important questions that must be asked is how that agency handles research, content creation, and content calendars. Quality agencies won’t shy away from the content question, but will instead have a strategy in place to find the type of content that target audiences like the most and then spread it either organically or through paid promotion.

Brands should stay away from agencies that go by gut feeling, thinking humor is appropriate for every client or promise to create a viral sensation on social media.

The centerpiece of any social media content strategy should be the inclusion of quality pictures and videos because those types of content regularly outperform text based posts and links. Forty-four percent of Facebook users say they are more likely to interact with brand posts that use images. According to Quintly, videos on Facebook averaged 2,183 interactions in January 2014, just under double the rate of photos, which averaged 1,358 interactions.

Social networks are also, in general, moving toward a more visual based standard with sites like Facebook, Instagram, Vine, Twitter, Pinterest and Snapchat all either focusing on or encouraging the use of images and/or video.

4. What is your process for reporting?

Brands hiring an outside agency for social media marketing should be able to monitor the results of a social media marketing strategy and hold the agency accountable. That is where having a standard process for monitoring and reporting comes into play.

Agencies should have a high standard when it comes to communicating updates, both positive and negative, to the brand on a regular basis. Social media marketing can take time and can have a cumulative effect on consumers. While it’s important to demand responsibility for results, it’s also key for brands to have patience.

Brands and agencies should strive to communicate about results, tactics, content options, new technologies and potential strategy options at least twice a month, if not more. If an agency doesn’t have a process to report ongoing results, it may be a sign that the agency isn’t as connected with its clients as necessary.

5. How do you measure success?

Brands that invest in social media and a social media marketing agency must have a clear goal in mind at the beginning of the process. Brands should demand that any potential agency have a set standard when it comes to watching available metrics such as engagement, click-through-rate, web traffic, organic reach, paid reach, and conversions.

One of the benefits of social media is that strategies can be adjusted in real time based on the data being collected. As brands and agencies learn more about the target audiences and new technological options, goals can evolve as well. While there is no “right” answer for how to define success, having a clearly vocalized goal can create a focus on accountability for the agency partner.

7 Marketing Lessons From The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 00:24:00 -0700

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge demonstrates the power of social media to influence cause marketing on a national scale. The Challenge was a perfect storm ofsocial media, celebrity and grass-roots philanthropy, producing hurricane-strength viral social engagement during the dog days of summer.

Unlike a hurricane, the Challenge showed how social media can be harnessed, directed and managed for a social good. According to Facebook, between June 1 and August 17, over 28 million people have joined the conversation about the Ice Bucket Challenge including posting, commenting or liking a challenge post and 2.4 million videos related to the ice bucket challenge have been shared on the social network. Even if we don’t see another social storm like this again, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge holds several important lessons for marketers trying to reverse engineer the secret of the ALS campaign’s remarkable success.

#1 Time It Right

The Challenge got underway in June and peaked in August. Its timing was perfect and it was a feel-good counterpoint to the images of violence in the Middle East and in Ferguson, Missouri that have dominated the nightly news cycle.

Summer is a popular time for vacations and many are able to enjoy a more relaxed work schedule. School is out and extended hours of sunlight allowed people to participate in the Challenge and video their super soaking after work. Plus, the nature of the Challenge matched the timing; an Ice Bucket Challenge would not have been as well received in winter. Anyone want pneumonia?

#2 Make It Personal

The idea of pouring ice-cold water on your head to raise awareness for a charity didn’t start out as an ALS dedicated awareness campaign. Yet, former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates, who has ALS, made it personal, leveraging his social network and a dedicated team of friends and family to spread the word.

#3 Mix In A Few Celebrities

The promotion became viral after a few local celebrities and sport figures took up the challenge. Their huge following allowed the Challenge to explode out of Boston and expand nationally, organically, attracting an eclectic mix of A-list celebrities and famous faces who have risen to the Challenge.

And having some guy named Gates involved doesn’t hurt, either.

#4 KISS

Keep It Simple Stupid, or KISS, is the well-worn design principle stating that simple designs often perform better than complex ones. In the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the rules are simple. Accept the challenge and get drenched in ice water or donate to ALS. The challenger picks who gets challenged next. The three and four word hashtags (#IceBucketChallenge #ALSIceBucketChallenge) made it easy to remember and share.

#5 Consider Street Credibility

It was the “bet you won’t do that” schoolyard tease that added a playful touch of social stigma and self-consciousness to the cause marketing campaign. Who could possibly turn it down? Now that the Challenge has gained national exposure, it’s a point of pride and social standing to be challenged, adding to its widespread appeal.

#6 Focus on the Goal

Although there has been some criticism about the tendency for a viral cause marketing campaign like this to encourage self-promotion and “slacktivism”, the charity is the ultimate beneficiary. The ALS Association has attracted hundreds of thousands of new and potential donors, receiving $41.8 million in donations from July 29 until August 21, compared to $2.1 million during the same period last year. With global awareness and a sizable war chest fueled by a flood of new donations, the Association is able to move one step closer to a cure for Lou Gehrig’s disease.

#7 Reputation Matters

If your business or charity is planning the next viral marketing campaign, your brand’s reputation will be the key to a successful campaign. The management team needs to be able to handle days or weeks of intense local and national media exposure. Businesses can protect their brand and take advantage of the spotlight with a proactive public relations strategy and a well-defined communications plan that precedes launching any marketing campaign.

Even if you are not able to replicate the next ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, “a shared commitment to charity and community, extending from the board room to the mailroom, can have a powerful positive impact on company reputation inside and outside the company,” explains Todd William, founder and CEO of Reputation Rhino, an online reputation management and marketing consultancy in New York City.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is/was just a one-in-a-lifetime event, right? Under the right conditions, the perfect social media storm can be duplicated. There are many actionable lessons for marketing professionals looking to create the next social media sensation.

Method To Get One-Way Backlinks

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 19 Jul 2014 17:27:00 -0700


Image source: Artdriver Here is a method to get some one-way backlinks that works pretty well. You need to get a secondary site. Set up something simple and contact other webmasters to trade links (reciprocal links). It can be from a different niche. Put all the links ********, it doesn 't matter. After a few reciprocal links (10~30) we need to redirect our secondary site to our main site. We will use a 301 redirect. But we will only redirect search engines, not normal users. This way you can continue with the reciprocal links and the other webmasters will not remove the backlinks. Use this code on the top of the PHP file(s) to redirect all the backlinks to your main site (don 't forget to change your link):

Now you will have one-way backlinks to your main site. Google will redirect the link juice to the main site and will not crawl the backlinks of the other webmasters on the secondary site.

Some notes:
- you can use a better script to do that.
- I believe that the secondary site will have the same pagerank after the redirection (or the actualization of pagerank).
- It 's easier to trade links on niches like games, porno etc. Keep that in mind, your goal is to trade many links.
- you can redirect before the first backlinks, but I think this works better this way
