How To Attract Engagement On Your Blog

Measuring engagement means working out exactly how many people actually interacted with each of your individual messages across your social media sites. This will produce a very clear indicator of exactly which types of posts your fans and followers like the most (and of course which ones they like the least). When a follower engages with a post it means that they actually care enough about it to do something with it. If your levels of engagement are low, then it is imperative that you do something about it and take a good look at how you might improve your content to increase this figure.
Engagement metrics include:
·    Clicks
·    Shares
·    Comments
·    Retweets, Mentions and Direct Messages on Twitter
·    Ratings on your YouTube videos
The built-in analytics on your social media sites will keep track of all of these metrics for you, or again you can look to third-party services to keep you up-to-date.

 


Don`t Get Stressed Out Trying To Succeed

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down

Nobody needs to buy anything at £30 per month to use Social Media to make money.


The low down here is available for all :-

1. Open an account on Twitter, link it to Face  book, Word press, You tube, Blogger etc., where you're content relates to what you're selling or
otherwise.

2. Buy and download Tweet Adder 3, use this to auto build your followers list.

3. When you've at least 1,000 followers (keep building your list) you can then Tweet them with some half decent dialogue and include your shortened* affiliate link, website etc., (*use Google URL shortener).

Points to note...

a). Start tweeting as soon as you open a Twitter account with relevant subject matter to what you intend marketing, remember Twitter is for talking to other people and ads are therefore sometimes completely ignored. Your main aim is to create the impression your just a Tweeter.

b). Tweet at least once a day at this stage (i.e., while you build your follower list) with interesting comments (the easiest way to find content for your tweets is to search your keyword of your chosen topic in Google), to obtain some ideas, articles etc., but under NO circumstance copy anything word for word, that's Plagiarism and it's illegal !

c). Don't send any more than 1 business type tweet per day, advert saturation never bodes well with those wanting to mostly talk.

d). Regularly update and add fresh content to your Twitter homepage and those other Social Media sites you have linked to it.

The Phoenix Arises Again

Well, now that this blog has been in the ashes for so long it is about time it arose with some beneficial and interesting articles.

Marketing has change so dramatically over the past few years with the rise of Social Media sites, and the sharing of information. The internet is like those spiders that weave a web that can only be described as being  like a blanket hanging between various anchor points. The probability is that many aspiring Marketers fall into it and spend hours of time and bundles of money trying to get out, climbing this way and that.

There are dozens of so called Gurus that imply you can get everything you need to succeed for Just a $ or only $49. Then when they have you Credit Card details offer so many upgrades to even better sites where more of your work to succeed is done for you. Well,.... that is what Marketing is all about, isn`t it. Or is it the mental attiude of the client expecting everything for next to nothing that they exploit themselves ? I will let you decide the answer.
