January 14, 2008 By: Newbornbusiness Category: Social Marketing No Comments →

If you intend to use social marketing, you should know what you’re getting into before you jump in.

Social marketing can be tricky though because it’s more than just using search engine marketing, link strategies and SEO. There are a lot of social networking etiquette rules that need to be observed and if you didn’t follow protocol you could be ostracized.

1-When you’re using social networking you should never just post links to your website on other people’s blogs, that’s considered spamming.

2-You shouldn’t attend a social party and just talking loudly about your business opportunity, terrific product, incredible service.

3-You should take the time to read other blogs and leave relevant comments.

Make friends first. Find people with similar interests, so you have a fun time chatting. Put yourself in the comment receivers seat. After doing all of that you naturally become someone, people will respect within the social network.

Usually then you will be allowed to post a link to your own website. Let’s be friendly and really get to know a bit about each other before we start pitching business opportunities.

4- Also In order to make your website be on the top, you have to create valuable content, you have to write and publish content with value, and this could help you raise your website on the top.

5- All in all, respect the people you’re marketing to. Social networks are communities, and communities have certain expectations about their members’ behavior, They have to be sure that those members actually exist and aren’t trying to make a buck off their friendships.

If it is too late and it is totally messed up, you can always delete everything and start over if you want, or just delete the things that you aren’t happy with and repost them. Social Network Marketing is just that, social.

Social marketing can be tedious and time consuming. It may also take up too much time to be effective. But if you have the patience and the vision to grow your business through social marketing, you’ll gain some pretty enviable advantages that will help you and your business to succeed.

How did social bookmarking emerge?

January 11, 2008 By: Newbornbusiness Category: Social Marketing No Comments →

Some people use the Web in order to find certain information that are related and relevant to their field of expertise and specialty.

people would organize their bookmarks of online resources using folders in the Web browser, an inefficient way of organizing since people may need to save a resource that is relevant to a number of categories, thereby saving the bookmarked online resource in a number of different folders. This can be a bit difficult to handle, especially if people need to find the references that they have saved in order to send it to other people through e-mail.

The idea of organizing and managing links systematically rather than just listing them on a given web page have emerged recently and lead to the existence of the word “Tags” and a lot of social bookmarking websites that depend on Tags to arrange topics perfectly and make it easier to post and share your topics.

The beginning of the social networking was through user-generated content like web forums, personal website, sharing files,… etc. Over time the continuity of using Web 2.0 saw the emergence of social networking, social marketing, and blogs amongst others.

In Social Bookmarking, People can see who created each bookmark on a particular topic or subject in a particular Web page or website, as well as allows the other persons to have easy access to your bookmarked resources or references. Aside from this, its users can also see all the other users who have used a particular tag or keyword, allowing them to search for all relevant resources and references about the same topic or subject.

Now that social bookmarking is possible, people are now able to create a web of resources and connections without being limited in its applications and operations as people would be when they did not use social bookmarking. People could also use these bookmarking sites not only to save their favorites but to share them with an endless number of friends and promote their own websites as well.
