Set a Posting Schedule that Encourages Shares and Pageviews

2013-01-28T10:30:00.000+02:00

This guest post is by Lindsey Dahlberg of Bloggingtips.com.
We’ve all heard the saying, “great content gets shared.” But what happens if yours isn’t getting shared? Does that mean you don’t have great content?
Not necessarily. It could mean you have top-notch content, but you’re not posting it at the most opportunistic times of day.
Maybe you aren’t interested in social shares but would like to know why your killer content isn’t generating lots of pageviews.
Perhaps you’re suffering from the same malady: your content isn’t getting viewed because you aren’t posting on the best days of the week.
According to Shareaholic, the day and time you post your content will determine how many social shares and page views it receives. The following information was taken from data received in 2011 (social shares apply to Facebook and Twitter).

Social shares

If your top priority is social shares, you’ll want to know the best day and best time to post your content. Here is a breakdown of both those stats.

Best days

According to research, content posted on Thursdays gets more shares than any other day—10% more in fact. From there, sharing days decrease in popularity as follows: Wednesday, Friday, Monday, Sunday, and Tuesday.
We can take two things from this information. First, people are using Facebook and Twitter at work. Second (and more relevant to you!), posts made later in the week do better than posts made earlier in the week.

Best times

Now that you have determined which days you should be posting, you’ll want to know which hours are best.
According to Sharaholic, 27% of all social shares occur between 8am and 12pm EST. There is a definite surge of activity between 9am and 10am. After that, social shares are on the decline for the majority of the day. There are two other small peaks of activity around 2pm and 9pm.
Apparently, we like to take in our information with the morning news, get an update after lunch, and check in before bed.
One popular blogger shares his posting schedule. He posts at 4:30am. That way, his content is ready for his US audience while his UK audience is still awake and active.

Pageviews

If you are interested in driving traffic to your blog, and you’re not too particular about social shares, your posting schedule will be completely different.

Best days

The four best pageview-related posting days are the same as the social share posting days. However, the winners are in a different ranking. Of the top 100 pageview days in 2011, 43% landed on a Monday. Tuesdays received 28%, Wednesdays 24%, and Thursdays finished the list with 5%.
Note Saturday and Sunday didn’t make the cut.

Best times

Most pageviews take place between 7am and 1pm EST, Monday through Friday, with the majority occurring between 9am and 10am. From there, views decrease significantly.

What this means for you

There are several takeaways we can gather from these statistics.
First, you need to determine how you want your audience to find your content. Do you want them to click from Twitter? Do you want them to subscribe via email? The answer to these questions will determine how you implement a response to these statistics.
Second, these statistics should act as a guideline only. They provide a nice place to begin your testing. However, you’ll want to check your own numbers and adjust from there.
These statistics don’t apply to everyone and they aren’t carved in stone. Pageviews and shares can vary from topic to topic, time zone to time zone, and country to country.
Third, you should determine which time zones read your content and when. Some businesses focus on the US east coast, since the majority of the country resides there. However, other companies draw a large band of followers from the west coast or Europe. Use your site’s analytics to determine where your target audience lives.
Lastly, be ready. Have your content up before the peak viewing time occurs. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to let viewers know it’s coming. A simple social media post along the lines of, “check the blog tomorrow at noon for a hot new post—you won’t want to miss it!” couldn’t hurt.
If you have been churning out stellar content and not receiving the traffic or social shares you’d like, try making a few changes to the times at which you post your content.

Turning Your Blog into an Online Store

2013-01-04T22:58:00.000+02:00

This article is from http://www.famousbloggers.net/turning-blog-online-store.html

Blogging is a great way to share your ideas, knowledge and experiences for the world to see. It’s a fantastic way to build a personality around a brand or product as well. But part of creating a brand is having a marketable product. Whether that product is something you have created yourself or something you review on your site, using software like Amazon’s ecommerce platform makes it easier than ever.
If you’re looking to sell your products, whether they’re materials reflecting your brand, your book, handmade goods, etc., here’s a breakdown of what you need to make your online store successful.

Necessary Features

Search Box: It’s important to make it as easy as possible for customers to find what they’re looking for on your site. A search box allows them to quickly refine results.

Featured Products: You can attract visitors’ attention to specific products by featuring photos and information about them on your home page.

Tip: You can push multiple products by showcasing them in a slide show, so customers don’t have to click through each one.

Related Products: Up-sell by showing customers what others bought with the products they’re interested in.

Product Photos and Zoom: Online shopping is a different experience than going to a physical store, because the only way to judge a product’s quality is to look at it. It’s crucial to display quality photos that viewers can zoom in on to see details of your products.

Customer Login: To make it easier for return-customers to check out, allow them to create usernames and passwords so they don’t have to enter their information every time.

Privacy and Return Policies: Customers will gain peace of mind about the reliability of buying from your store if they can read your policy of protecting their personal and financial privacy. Also, if you offer a return policy for your products, they are more likely to buy in times of indecisiveness.

Payment System: Obviously you need a gateway to receive payment, so it’s important to show icons of accepted means of payment, and a clear checkout section (like a shopping cart). You should also send a confirmation/receipt to the customer’s email.

Social Media Links: You’ll get more traffic on your site if you have a presence in social media, so show customers where you can be found and encourage them to “Like” your page.

Customer Perspective

It might help you to look at your store through the eyes of the customer, and focus on the things they want in a shopping experience. These are some things that online shoppers like to see.

Facebook|Fan Page Insights

2012-06-01T12:27:00.001+02:00

After the appearance of Facebook timeline a lot of people were not satisfied with the new time line especially for fan pages, as most of the fan page are business page which are used as a marketing tool, but what most people doesn’t know that the new time line have added a tool which is essential for every marketer, as it gives you a clue for understanding your fans in a better way.

This new tool called page Insight’s

Facebook page Insights

You can notice it when you go to your admin panel as a graph

You can hover on certain parts to see:

1. Number of fans who have reached the page in a certain interval of time.

2. Number of fans who is talking about it and the frequency of updating your page post.

Also Some Facebook page owners can now view certain post metrics directly from their Timeline under each post , including the percentage of fans that saw a given post and the percentage of those who saw the post as a result of paid promotion or unpaid promotion.

This gives page owners an at-a-glance understanding of how many fans they are reaching. Or, more likely, make them realize how many they aren’t reaching. As users share more and connect with more Open Graph applications, there are more stories competing for placement in News Feed. Increasingly, page owners will have to support their content efforts on Facebook with paid media.

Clicks see all to get more details.

Beneath that, you can see your page’s engagement.

The Purple bubbles represent the times when your page post have been updated. This can help you see how your engagement changes based on post frequency.

Page Posts Details

You can find under the graph, details about each post on your Facebook page including the post’s reach, engaged users, users talking about that post, and virality.

Virality is the number of people who have created a story from your post as a percentage of the total number of people who have seen it.

You can use the drop down Menu to choose from for All Post Types to select specific posts types.

Demographics and Location for Likes, Reach, and Talking About This

You can choose what type of demographic information that you want to know about (likes, Reach and talking about it) which is a great tool to see the demographics of users who have been engaged with your page.

You can easily compare between different engagements techniques to see which one has better impact on your fans, you can also use it to analyze what are the best time to post to get higher engagement parentage.

You can also specify a certain Range of time to measure the percentage of demographic engagement by clicking on the time range drop menu and selecting the date range you want to see.

Exporting Data

At the right side of the page you will find the export data tab which allows you to export you data in PDF form. This can help you do a report about your Facebook campaigns.

Where Your Likes Came From

At the bottom of the Likes section is a graph on where your page’s likes have come from as well as the latest number of unlikes.

This can help you see whether like boxes and buttons on your website are working well, also it can help you see any boosts in likes within the last 90 days. Linking a spike in unlikes to a particular post can also help you learn if your posts are actually disengaging your audience.

All this tools have been added with the time line because In the few past months Facebook researches said that pages reach only 16 percent of their fans each week on average.

By showing reach percentages on Timeline rather than requiring page owners to visit the insights dashboard to see them, the social network can subtly encourage page owners to consider spending money on Sponsored Stories or Reach Generator, which is a premium offering that guarantees that a page reaches at least 75 percent of fan.

In my opinion The Insights tool is the best modification that came with time line new features .

Silent Tagging| on Facebook

2012-05-26T09:28:00.002+02:00

Recently had been asked by friend about the term fan ladder and what does it refer to in the Facebook world.

Some of fan page owners have heard about it and some did not hear about it at all,

For those who aren’t familiar with this silent tagging or fan ladder idea, simply it is a way of quick increasing the number of likes that your fan page has. The idea is based on trading “likes” with other fan page owners.

What is silent tagging page??

A silent tagging page is a page which is specialized in doing silent tagging parties or let’s says silent tagging session.

Silent tagging or fan ladder starts by either an invitation from business page or an invitation from Silent tagging page.

Usually it starts by the tagging page posting to announce the start of a silent tagging session.

And then comes your role to join in the fun of silent tagging, all you have to do is to tag your fan page by typing the @then the name of your page. Once you have done this you start going throw the list of tags for fan pages of others , from the top of the list, hover your mouse over the name and a box comes up then you click on like. You don’t even have to leave the page just work yourself down the list and like all pages. After you “liked” the other fan pages , you need to then “like” the comment so you get credit, you should like other pages from your personal profile not from the fan page.

By doing this, your likes numbers will score 50 likes in this time!!!

Positives:

· Good for new page that needs 25 likes to gain Facebook URL.

· Pages that need to increases the number of potential customers.

· Facebook networking with other business page in same field.

Negatives:

· A lot of people participate in the silent tagging without reading the rules carefully so they end up not gaining any likes.

· Gaining a lot of fans may not result in new customers or actual referrals as there is no certain criterion for the target customers.

· It brings a lot of empty likes, people who are not actually interests in your page and may unlike your page soon.

· It also results in liking a lot of page who may not like you page back.

One more thing to add Facebook actually is not happy with the silent tagging tool, as it causes a lot of spamming comments, worst case scenario they could consider your site is spamming and shut you down. so it is better not to go crazy about it use it one a week .

The best times to post on facebook

2012-04-26T15:09:00.002+02:00

Best times to post on Facebook

We all wonder about (what is the best day in the week to post) to use our time effectively and to catch the time with the highest rate of Interaction.

this below article have checked 50,000 posts from the top 14,000 pages on Facebook to see when page admins were posting to find out the highest interaction in days and times.

First graph shows the Frequency of the Posts throughout the week:

Thursday shows the day with the highest number. The graph shows a 41% increase in posting from Wednesday to Thursday and an 85% increase from Saturday to Thursday. The lowest posting day is Saturday.

Second graph shows Interaction Rates throughout the week:

It shows that Saturday and Sunday have the highest interaction rate(1) in the week with a lowest dip being on Thursday. This graph shows a 45% difference in interaction rate from Thursday to Saturday.

The Conclusion is that the least amount of posts are on the days with highest interaction rates and vice verse.

It means when you increase the number of posts in one day it lower the interaction rate as you are diverting the fans on more than one post so The higher the number of posts the lower interaction rate. Weekend posts gets high interaction rates on Facebook.

Increase your fans by simple steps !!!!!!!!!

Increase your fans by simple steps !!!!!!!!!

Facebook fan pages are rapidly being recognized as an essential tool for any brand or business wanting to harness the power of Social Media. The problem is, they’re only worthwhile if people click the ‘Like’ button!

In this post I’m going to share with you a really powerful technique which you can use to increase the number of people that ‘Like’ yours

· Polishing your Welcome page: First thing the consumers see`s is the welcome page at the face book , so it has to be attractive and catchy to encourage them to like the page and it has registration field of name , email, mobile and age .

· Using attractive profile pic and cover .

· Using the tagging partner technique with other relates pages , or persons , which allows me every time a post a content to be shared at partners walls.

· Using the update technique to send message to all fans by one step, (Smart Suggest to Friend Application) which sends invitation message(for your page) to all friends by one step .

· Using Friend Card is a way to increase brand visibility by offering Fans the ability to send customizable branded greeting cards to their friends directly from Face book Page. Also Cards can be scheduled for delivery or sent immediately. Each time a card is sent, it gets posted to the recipient's Wall.

· Collecting mail: Email providers MailChimp and Constant Contact offer apps that enable Fans to sign-up for a merchant’s email list directly from the Fan page. Practical eCommerce uses a customised version of the MailChimp form on our Facebook Page

· Using the Like Tab .It works as a two-stage process. A non-Fan visits the page where an offer is being pitched, such as a special discount, coupon or free download. Before the person can take advantage of the offer, he or she first has to “Like” the page. Once that action is taken, the visitor is taken to a previously hidden page where the offer is revealed

· Continous interaction: facebook is a social media channel , which means that it is bulid on socializing with your fans talking to them on a human level , make them feel there person behind the page not just a brand .

· Making online competition throw posting Brand related questions or using games questions and quizzes.

· Using Polls and trivia as they are tools that can be used to keep Fans engaged with your Page. Polls can also be used to conduct market research and get customer feedback on products and services.

· Re posting relevant, interesting information from other Facebook users.

· Using Facebook gadget in your own website for example (recommend ,like, share and send tabs) ,you can go to Facebook developers section and choose social plugin.

Try them and see for your self

Increase your facebook likes !!!!!!

2012-04-16T22:16:00.001+02:00

Any facebook user will have noticed that lately all branding campaigns are trying to increase the interaction by , asking a Question or writing a states and asking people to comment about it or like .

A previous study analysed 49,266 page posts to compare facebook interaction rates for posts containing ‘Like’ calls to action, ‘comment’ calls to action and those without. The study split these posts into the three different categories, and the sample size was:

1) Contains ‘comments’ – 292
2) Contains ‘like’ – 361
3) Doesn’t contain ‘comment’ or ‘like’ – 48,613
Very few companies or brands tend to post statuses with comment or like calls to action – only 1.3% of the status messages analysed had a call to action in it. What then was calculated the average interaction rates for the three categories of posts.

The interaction rates can be seen in the graph above:
1) Contains ‘comments’ – 0.14%
2) Contains ‘like’ – 0.38%
3) Doesn’t contain ‘comment’ or ‘like’ – 0.11%
Although it comes as no surprise using calls to action asking users to ‘comment’ and ‘like’ have a higher interaction compared to normal text status posts. However what wasn’t expected was how much the interaction increased by asking everyone to ‘like’ the post. Asking users to ‘like’ gets an average of 216% increase in interaction.
Try for yourself and see if this works, let us know.

Make Money Taking Paid Online Surveys

Are you looking for a legitimate way to make money online? Maybe you want some extra spending money. Or perhaps you need the money to pay bills. Either way, getting paid for filling out simple surveys can be a fun and lucrative way to earn that extra cash.

In fact, there’s quite a lot of money to be had — and the cool thing is that you can earn it in your spare time. Any time you can spare a few minutes — or a few hours, you can make money.

It’s easy too. Once you have signed up with the right survey companies, all you have to do is check your email and pick the best surveys, and you’re off to earning money every time you fill in the blanks.

Want to get started making money doing online surveys right away?. Then you will start receiving surveys to fill out and start earning money.

Click Here to get started now

And if you’re wondering why anyone would care about your opinion, let alone pay you good money for it, read on. There’s a reason why you can make real money with surveys:

Countless companies, including the largest international corporations, are desperately trying to find out what consumers want. And they’re willing to pay a whole lot of money for market research.

But they still have a problem. How can they connect with you, the consumer? It’s not all that easy, so they hire survey companies to help them find out what people think about their products and what they would be most likely to buy in the future. They also want to know what it will take to get people to buy…

And if you sign up, you’ll become part of that cutting edge market research.

It’s really cool. You may have the chance to find out about new products long before they actually become available in stores. You might get to play video games that haven’t even been released yet. And you might get to watch trailers for movies that haven’t even finished filming yet. And the best part…. you get paid for your “efforts.”

That’s because paying for you to take surveys is the quickest and easiest way for a company to get the information and feedback they need. And believe it or not, even when they pay thousands of people several dollars each for fill it in even one quick survey, it’s cheaper (and more effective) for them than many other forms of market research. And it’s way cheaper than making a costly mistake.

Remember the NEW Coke? What a disaster that was! And it would have been so easy to prevent. All they had to do was ask people what they thought of the idea and they would have known better than to mess with a tried and true formula.

But noooo. The company executives thought they knew what was best — and they fell flat on their face.

So surveys can be essential for a company’s survival. And they know it and are willing to pay for it. So why not let them pay you?

Now you’re probably wondering what it will take to connect with those big companies and get paid for sharing your opinion?

All you have to do is find the right surveys… And the easiest way to do that is to join a club that specializes in helping consumers like you and me to hook up with the surveys that pay the most money.

And as soon as you join and sign up with the companies they recommend, you will start receiving surveys to fill out… and start earning.

Why is Internet Advertising and Marketing Important?

The Internet is a tool enabling businesses to reach literally millions of new customers each month. The Internet is redefining the relationship between businesses and consumers, for the first time in history a small to medium sized company now can reach all over the globe to share information about it's products and services. Now your business can advertise and reach customers on a global scale that just a few years ago was available to only a hand full of large corporations. One advantage to advertising on the internet is the fact that the it is always on. Your businesses image is shared 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. Shoppers can visit your site at their Convenience from the comfort of their own homes. It is like having your doors open 24 hrs a day 7 days a week.

Another advantage is the Internet is enabling consumers to purchase from companies outside their geographical location; many items that were once available only in certain areas now are available worldwide thanks to the Internet. I believe the Internet will dramatically change the way we purchase and use the products and services we use daily.

Internet marketing is inexpensive when examining the ratio of cost to the reach of the target audience.Companies can reach a wide audience for a small fraction of traditional advertising budgets. The nature of the medium allows consumers to research and to purchase products and services conveniently.
Internet marketers also have the advantage of measuring statistics easily and inexpensively; almost all aspects of an Internet marketing campaign can be traced, measured, and tested, in many cases through the use of an ad server.The advertisers can use a variety of methods, such as pay per impression, pay per click, pay per play, and pay per action. Therefore, marketers can determine which messages or offerings are more appealing to the audience.The results of campaigns can be measured and tracked immediately because online marketing initiatives usually require users to click on an advertisement, to visit a website, and to perform a targeted action.

Mistakes Business Owners Make With Facebook Fan Pages

2012-01-05T10:06:00.000+02:00

Mistakes Business Owners Make With Facebook Fan Pages

Do you want to use your Fan page to get more exposure, more visibility, and more customers? If so, make sure to avoid the 4 common mistakes listed below.

1. Not Creating a Custom Welcome Page. Creating a Custom Welcome Page is an excellent way to increase your fans. Statistics show that it will help you turn 72% of your visitors into fans. You can create a Custom Welcome Page by using the Facebook Application, Static HTML: iframe tabs. This application allows you to create a Welcome Page for non-fans and a different one for fans. But, please note that you will need to have some knowledge of HTML code in order to use it.

If you are not familiar with HTML code, then you can visit Pagemodo.com. With Pagemodo, no coding is required. No design or graphics skills are required. They have free ready-made templates for you to use to create your Custom Welcome Page.

2. Not Creating a Fan Page Username. Once your Fan Page has 25 fans, you'll be able to create a username for your page. So, instead of having a long ugly URL, you'll have a shorter one like Facebook.com/________. This is a great way to brand yourself and to make it easier to share your link with others and easier for fans to locate your page.

Once you have 25 fans, in order to create your username simply visit: Facebook.com/username.

3. Not Using your Business Name as your Fan Page Name. When naming your Fan page, I recommend that you use your Business Name. Your Fan page is your business page, and it will contain more information on your business, products, and services. However, that's not the reason for using your Business Name.

The most important reason for using your Business Name is that at the very top of your personal profile, it shows where you work, and if you'll notice, it is a clickable link. So, people can click and go directly to your Fan page.

For example, if you work at ABC Company, and that's the name of your Fan page, then ABC Company will be listed at the very top of your personal profile. It will be the 1st thing that people see when they come to your profile. Since it's a clickable link, they'll be able to click & go directly to your Fan page. That's a great way to get more fans for your page, more exposure, more visibility.

Note: To get ABC Company to show up at the top of your personal profile, click on the Info tab, then click on Education and Work. When typing in the name of your business, Facebook should automatically offer to populate that field with your Fan page name.

4. Not Inviting your "Target Market" to become a Fan of your Page. A big mistake that many marketers make is that they set up social media accounts and only connect with their family and personal friends. Then they wonder why they're not getting more clients or sales. Instead, I recommend that you connect with people who are in your target market - potential clients (people who are interested in your products and services).

For example, if you teach yoga, connect with people who love yoga. If you are a weight loss coach, connect with people who want to lose weight. If you are real estate broker, connect with people who are interested in buying or selling a home in your area.

There are over 600 million people on Facebook, so your target market is definitely using Facebook. The benefit of connecting with your Target Market is that everytime you post something to your social media profiles, your posts are now going out to people who are interested in your products and services. Your posts are going out to POTENTIAL CLIENTS. This will significantly increase the traffic to your website, increase your clients, and increase your sales!
