Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Everyone,

I am looking for some assistance on our packaging for social media.

I am worried that my piece reads too much like a contract and not a sales piece.  I would like to get some input before I run it by my boss and I felt like you guys were the best resource.

If you would be so kind as to Private Message me I can send you the plan and we can go from there!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. Very insightful.

We work mainly with SMBs, and not retail. For them to go beyond FB and twitter is a stretch. In fact they can barely handle the idea of those two, so we dont want ot scare them off

LI seems more of a personal networking tool, the corporate pages are automated by LI and many areas (SUCH AS OLD EMPLOYEES) cant be removed without a lot of headaches. WE need something easy and affordable...probally based on the blog feeding all SM platofrms that we choose. I think options to add slideshare, scribd are good ideas. 4square, prob not viable for us at this time.

(This coment is form IWS owner, not my SMM, i thought id chip in and tell you how much i enjoyed your feedback)

Hi Alex!

Thanks for your response!

A couple of items:

How effective do you think Linkedin is?  We havent been terribly successful with it.

Myspace? Still? they are talking about shutting down...

What do you suggest for apps for photo sharing? Color? Instagram? or shall we stick to flickr?

What about for location based?  We are pushing gowalla because the icons are larger on facebook and it syndicates to Foursquare.

In gowalla you can commission them to make custom badges, how do you feel about that?

grouped in or beluga? or none?

fwix or whatser?

tumblr or blogger? or none? just stick to wordpress? or a combination?

groupon or living social?

bump or cloudcard?

for brick and mortar clients should we be making foursquare or yelp offers for check ins?

slideshare or hub pages?

squidoo or scribd?

these are just a few examples....

Hello and Good Morning,

I have a tech convergence question...

In our social media package we have listed that we will subscribe to hubpages and scribd.

a lot of these services do the same thing (twitter vs identi.ca, color vs instagram, gowalla vs fourquare, ect), what are some of the better services to use and why? We have our favorites but they may not necessarily be the most effective.

thanks!

crickets

all,

would you consider social bookmarking to be part of an SEO package or a Social Media Package?

y'all,

what is the recommended amount of time in which content on a website should be refreshed?

Hello,

How much weight do links from social media carry for seo?

We are trying to develop a social media package for a client and we are unclear as to how much time to dedicate to SM every month and we would like some opinions.

Thanks!

cool, thanks!

Hello,

In our SEO package that we use to sell our product to clients we list Social Bookmarking as one of the services we provide.

What is the appropriate amount of social bookmarks that we should obtain monthly?  How heavily do these weigh in your opinion?

Thank you for your time

Hello Everyone,

We have about 15 clients who we need to do link building for but I am at a loss on how to even begin.

Does anybody have any tips or tricks to achieving quality back links in a short amount of time?

Any help is appreciated!
