Make Social Media Marketing  Work For You

The cost of most advertising plans is usually their biggest problem, but social media marketing has become the fix to all that worry. There are no costs required to create and supply captivating media on social-networking sites and this means anyone can take advantage of the opportunity. The focus shifts to quality over quantity, but with the help from this article, you can learn to supply both.

YouTube can be a valuable social media marketing tool. A well-done YouTube video can give viewers a comprehensive overview of your business or of a product or service, so that they become interested in browsing your company's website. The more you inform visitors before they visit your site, the more your sales will increase.

If you are using social media to promote your product and you have written a blog post, have it posted to your Facebook page as well. This way, everyone that is on your friends list has access to your blog post. The same holds true for other social network sites.

It's important that you respond to questions and comments promptly if you want to use social media marketing successfully. Take the time to look for these each time you visit your site.

If your blog has grown popular, put up some stats showing your visitors how many others follow your content. Demonstrating your growth through showing the number of Facebook "likes" you've received, Twitter followers you've accumulated or any awards your site or blog has received is a great way to prove your "social worth."

You will be more successful if you can come up with new and interesting content. People will share something they believe is worth their time or provokes a pleasant reaction. Look at successful campaigns and identify the type of content that people will want to share with their friends on social networks.

You can get your followers' attention by posting something in a format that makes reading easier. For instance, try coming with a list of top 10 tips or writing questions and answers. The visual aspect of your article will make it more appealing and your readers will be more likely to share it.

Make sure all of your posts and articles have a Facebook button at the top. This button makes it easy for your readers to share your content on Facebook. Most people will not wish to share your content on Facebook if they have to go through copying and pasting a link.

Add relevant tags to your Youtube videos. They will be more likely to come up in searches linked to your products. You could use keyword tools to find out which keywords are popular among your target audience. Remember that your audience will be more likely to share something if they find it relevant to what they were looking for.

If you already run, or are considering starting your own business, there is no reason not to follow the advice given here. Social media will create a new world of opportunities and profits that only require time and focus. Remain updated with the newest advancements in the online world and always stay ahead of the competition.

What Can You Do To Improve Your Personality?

There are a lot of people who can help you learn more about yourself. Quite a few resources are available to provide guidance in analysis and insights of your personality.

Keep a gratitude journal. This is a great way for you to realize that your life isn't as bad as you think it is. Come up with 10 things every day to feel thankful about and write them down. After a while, you won't have to think so hard because you'll begin to develop an "attitude of gratitude" that makes you appreciate your life.

Guessing how people percieve you or what they think about you might cost an opportunity for a great friendship. No one can read another person's mind or heart, so try not to constantly worry about what other people think. Be yourself and be honest, and let time produce the truest of friends.

Ask for feedback sincerely and frequently when it comes to personal development. In the office, develop a support structure of people you know and respect to give you periodic feedback on how you are doing with your development plan. At home, ask your family sincerely to help you achieve your goals. Be sure to accept any feedback as a gift, even if it is difficult to hear.

Write up a motivational speech for yourself. Write down all of your positive traits on a postcard. You can take this with you wherever you go, and review it when you want motivation. Better yet, videotape yourself reading it aloud and view the video frequently. Why should you do this?

A key to personal development is setting priorities and developing a game plan. Setting priorities enables you to focus on what is important and eliminates wasted time on things that are not essential to reaching your goals. Having a game plan will reduce stress and help make big goals more manageable.

Ask your friends and family for honest, positive feedback on your character. Earnestly requesting feedback is much different from simply fishing for compliments. Explain that you need help discovering things about yourself that make you a good friend, or what you could work on to become a more reliable and supportive friend.

Measure your progress daily or even hourly. Whether you are cleaning up that junk room or studying for a final examination, use some method to keep track of how much you have progressed towards your goal. You might just check individual tasks off a list. You might take digital photos of your progress and regularly mail them to a friend!

Work just a little harder just a little longer. By just investing a little bit of extra effort we can achieve our goals more quickly and assuredly. Once one goal is achieved the slate is cleaned so that we can tackle the next one. We often get back from life precisely what we put in. Hard work spells bigger rewards.

Getting to know yourself better than anyone else is a privilege and an honor. Always treat yourself well and never lie to yourself. Learn to enjoy your own company.

Top Tips And Tricks For All Your Home Improvement Projects The thought of having your home business become your career can be a very frightening prospect. Especially if you have no prior experience being self-employed. There is a lot to take in and a lot to experience in order to ensure that you are on the right path. This article can provide some information you need to be the best you can be with your home business. As soon as you can, become a member of the Better Business Bureau. Not only will you be listed in all of the bureau's online material and directories, but it also has immediate impact on your credibility with customers. For a new home business, this simple step can help build quick trust. A great tip for anyone considering a home business is to carefully consider what type of workspace is truly feasible within the house itself. Because one of the main benefits of home businesses is their low overhead, it is important to utilize existing home space in an efficient manner. In this way, it will be possible to maximize workspace while maintaining the character and comfort of the home environment. If you have or are about to start a home business, be sure to establish an accurate budget. Many people fail at running a home business because they underestimated the cost of materials that goes with making or selling their product. For the best financial help, consider hiring an accountant. When beginning any home business, it is important to get your name out there on the market. One big way to do this is by giving away free products or samples, or coupons for discounts. Getting the customer to try your product and service is key to building a customer base and to making your business a household name. Think of every request for product information as a potential sale, and respond quickly. Customers will appreciate your prompt reply and keep coming back. If you have a website, this is a perfect place to refer people for information, assuming you have added all of the information to the site. Develop a flyer with information and pictures of your best-selling products and have it on hand to mail or hand out. If you are working with a partner, do everything in your power to separate personal and professional lives. If it is a friend, or even worse spouse, things can quickly become complicated. If you draw and maintain these lines early it will be easier to handle difficult work situations in the future without hurting feelings. Create a backup plan for possible problems in your home business. If you are collecting customer data, be sure you have a data backup plan such as an external data storage site. If you are storing physical products for sale, make sure you have adequate insurance coverage in case of damage or theft. Consider the problems relevant to your business and plan accordingly. Do not assume that you can perform as well at home as in an office without adapting a special area for use as a home office. Attempting to maintain productivity levels is very difficult in the presence of common household distractions like television, surfing the internet, and supervising children or pets. You should have a dedicated workspace for your home business. The fact is, that many home business owners can be susceptible to distraction if they aren't focused. Getting organized and devoting a space of your home for your business is a smart idea, keeping you organized and on track. To summarize, you are mostly petrified by the notion of making a career out of your home business because of the amount of work and commitment that is involved in being truly successful. However, now you are able to take the advice in this article and use it in your own business plan successfully.

Are Presentation Aids Beneficial in Videos?

Here's a question often asked by those who are doing video production for their Network Marketing training and informational videos.

"Do presentation aids actually help with the video?"

Presentation aids DEFINITELY make a difference in the effectiveness of your videos. Especially if it's just you sitting in front of the camera talking. Therefore, you need to learn how to produce simple ones and learn how to integrate them into your videos.

But be aware, only use these when they increase the clarity and effectiveness of your speech, if they are pointless, you might lose your audiences attention.

An interesting statistic is that recent research has shown that we typically remember only 20% of what we hear, while that number jumps to 50% when we both hear and see something.

Well designed presentation aids also enhance your credibility in the eyes of the audience. They show the listeners that you took extra effort in preparing something to help them better understand what you are saying.

These aids also improve your ability to get the message across. It gets you involved with your audience and not just standing there talking monotone like your least favorite professors did. (some of my professors do this and makes lectures a sleeping hour) This also helps with if you are nervous, just show the picture or share a graph/powerpoint with the audience, it helps to relieve some of that stress since they won't be focusing solely on you!

So it seems like presentation aids are great, right?

Just like anything else, these can be a disadvantage in your videos. You want to be aware of these potential problems to make sure you avoid them.

Presentation aids distract listeners, and if they are used incorrectly, your audiences attention will never come back to you.

These also can distract you, the one doing the video. How is that? If you haven't properly prepared what you are going to say while sharing the presentation aid, you'll probably lose track of what you are saying and this will definitely cause your presentation to struggle. In the end, causing the viewer to leave your video.

Presentation aids can be a great thing, but can also be a terrible thing. In my next post, I'll talk about some ideas for presentation aids.

Manage the Impressions that you make

As you get in front of a camera to speak, your listeners begin to form impressions of you that influence how they will respond to your video.

You may know of Aristotle, he called these impressions ethos. A person who has high ethos will be listened to with respect; therefore, ethos are KEY ingredients in leadership. You CAN build your ethos by helping listeners to form a favorable impression of your competence, integrity, goodwill and dynamism. You aren't lost if you don't possess these YET. Which is good, otherwise, there would be no point in learning and improving!

Competence:
Competent speakers seem informed, intelligent, and well prepared. You can come across in your videos as competent if you speak about topics that you already know something about and can do some research to qualify yourself as a responsible speaker about the subject.

An example would be if you were to know a little bit about the link between exercise and grade point average. This is an example of what I did in my Public Speaking class, I thought I knew some about this. But, I did not know that there was so much information that I still hadn't learned yet.

In my particular speech, I mentioned research that I had learned about in which Penn State University did a study on how different amount of hours of sleep per night affected GPA of students. The average for a study of 1,000 students found that students sleeping 6 or fewer hours a night averaged a 2.7GPA, students sleeping 7-8 averaged a 3.0GPA and those sleeping 9 or more averaged a 3.3GPA.

This was a surprise to me at first, but after more research I found out why. This made me competent on the subject when I gave my speech.

Elements for competent videos:
-The video must specify the qualifications of the expert(share some valuable info)
-Recent testimony from another expert
-If you can get a direct relationship between an expert and you, you have more value
-Speaker shows that there was careful preparation for the video ( make a plan and do the plan, hit the points you want but remember to have fun!)

Integrity
People who use Integrity in their videos come across as ethical and dependable. This is important to build trust in your viewers so your reputation has integrity. You can encourage perceptions of integrity by presenting all sides of an issue, and then explain how and why you chose your position. If you chose a particular company or product for a reason, explain WHY. People want to know this.

Goodwill
People with goodwill have our interests at heart, and we can tell when they care. They are not just a self-centered ass. They think more in terms of what is good for the group or community to which they currently belong.
Your viewers can tell when you are helping them, and people enjoy the company of those who have our interests at heart. You might even get someone to join you just because they know how much you care!

If someones watching your video, it shows that they care about you as a person, so make sure you care about the people who are watching your videos!

There is such a thing called Identification which is important, its the feeling of sharing or closeness that will develop with you and your viewer. It usually occurs when someone believes that they are like you and you have similar outlooks on life and you share similar backgrounds or values as your viewer. If you can identify what your audience is like, you can share more things about you that they may be able to relate to.

Dynamism
Dynamism is the PERCEPTION that a person is energetic, enthusiastic, and in control of the current situation in the video. I know that you may be secretly wetting your pants while you're in front of the camera, but guess what! If you don't tell people, they won't know!

If you don't feel confident in front of the camera, you still need to act as if you are. If you appear self-assured in your videos, your viewers will respond as if you are self-assured. Also, because of this, you WILL start to become more and more assured that what you are doing is right. This is whats called "tricking your mind" and this creates a desired trait for you. Tricky, huh?

When you are in control of the video, your viewers become more at ease and their response to your video is positive feedback. This further reinforces your confidence in yourself and causes you to make even better videos!

Entertainment vs Value?

I was on RateMyProfessor.com at the start of the semester here at Buff State... I was given a scenario.

The choice was between 2 different professors,

one: very entertaining, great guy, tons of funny stories. But, he doesn't always explain difficult material in any systematic fashion, also doesn't leave you with whats important for departmental exams.

the other: very businesslike, makes expectations clear. starts each lecture reviewing what the last lecture was and answers questions at the start. Also points out whats important to know for exams..

hmm, the choice wasn't THAT difficult. Although I LOVE getting entertained and having fun in classes, I knew that VALUE is a lot more important than ENTERTAINMENT.....at least for college classes anyway :-p

So whats the deal? Why can't there be value AND entertainment? There isn't anyone who says that there can't be both. But, how are YOU and I supposed to do this with our videos?

***My head starts spinning****

It seems super confusing doesn't it? Putting value into a message while having fun. Seems like something no one can do. You and I have experienced it, high school classes, college classes and even bosses. They bore you to death with stats, numbers and scenarios that aren't engaging, that don't make you think, react OR make a decision.

Well, maybe one decision....whether to skip class or not haha.

So, I'd like to throw some TIPS to you on providing VALUE and providing ENTERTAINMENT.

Take out a sheet of paper, or open up MS Word.

Write down at the top the message of your video.
underneath that, write down the 5 most important things about this message.

That's the value/otherwise boring part of the video.

Now is when the fun comes in.

Whats an interesting thing you could DO while stating these tips/important things?

Maybe you can dance, do a little dance in the video mid-way through the message, or maybe you can sing good, sing one of the messages, hell, maybe you can rock climb!

in that case, video tape yourself rock climbing and you could have someone edit the video so it looks like the tips are falling off the rock and barely missing you while you are climbing. Have fun, get creative.

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD. If everyone is in a suit, wear your suit backwards. If everyone is walking one way, start running the other way.

If everyone is doing a dance, start singing.

Be different, be original, be YOU.
