Social Media Channel Plan

3-keys web solutionhttp://www.3-keys.com Visual content can act as a “gateway” to more valuable content. When planning visual content to post on social platforms, think in terms of how it can drive traffic back to your website. So many organizations feel overwhelmed by the need to create content for every social media channel on the planet. Or worse yet, many brands create one type of content and then blast that content onto every social platform. If that’s you, you need a social media channel plan. Most likely, your goals are different on each social platform. Since that’s the case, the content you develop for that platform needs to be different as well. Here are the components for your channel plan. The Channel (social media platform) The Persona (target audience) The Goal (Sales goal, cost-savings goal, Branding) Primary Content Type (Textual, visual, infographics?) Structure (Visual and emotive feel) Channel Integration (How will this channel work with your other channels for maximum impact) Desired Action (What user behavior do you want to achieve?) Editorial Plan (Every channel needs its own editorial calendar.) And this is exactly why content marketing isn’t easy. But if you leverage a social media channel plan correctly, you’ll [...]

Metrics: Is Your Website Working For You as your Marketing Tool

Contrary to popular belief, a website is not a black hole that sucks away money and gives nothing back. Many business owners feel that they keep pumping money into their websites without knowing exactly what they are paying for. Exactly what does monthly linkbuilding or blogging get them anyways? Is any of this actually generating new business? All of these questions can be answered with one simple word: metrics. Website metrics is a way to measure and analyzing your site’s performance. Metrics will tell you how many visits your website gets, where those visits are coming from, what content is the most popular, and so forth. There are several ways to measure traffic on your site but the easiest way is Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a simple snippet of code that you put on every page of your website that you wish to track. The code is not visible on the page, but it does record the volume of traffic to your site, the pages visited, and more. You can then review the information on the Google Analytics Dashboard. Best practice for tracking website traffic Install Google Analytics immediately — ideally when you first set up or update the [...]

Social Media Integration with Website for Business Marketing

Your social media strategy is more than just a Facebook profile or Twitter feed. When executed correctly, social media is a powerful customer engagement engine and web traffic driver. It’s easy to get sucked into the hype and create profiles on every single social site. This is the wrong approach. What you should do instead is to focus on a few key channels where your brand is most likely to reach key customers and prospects.  Social media is about driving traffic whereas the website should be the hub channelizing the users in the right direction. If you use social media to keep your customers or clients apprised of your recent happenings and are actively managing your outlets on a daily or bi-weekly basis, it might be wise to showcase your Twitter feed or Facebook posts directly on your website. Linking out or displaying inactive social media channels will only cripple your online efforts. If you choose to go this route, it is important that you maintain your presence. It is important to be tactful with your social media choices and do your research before blindly forging into unknown territory. If you sell a product or run a full-fledged e-commerce site and you haven’t [...]

How do you know if you want a website or a web application?

“Website” is an all-encompassing term that we use to refer to anything on the web we view through a web browser. However, websites have come a long way since the static informational pages of the ‘90s. Today, we use many “websites” that interact with us and perform tasks for us. Our favorite search engine, Google, is dynamic. Instead of letting us search through an index of topics, it takes our search queries and returns related websites. The contents of the page change depending on our input. Likewise, Amazon allows us to search for items, and then purchase them and leave reviews. Sites like these are viewed through a browser like websites, but they interact with us and do something for us. Because of the ever-changing nature of the web, a new term has evolved to describe these interactive websites. They are called web applications, or web apps. Web Applications Web applications are programs that run in web browsers depending on input from the user. Websites are static HTML pages that present users everywhere with the same set of pages and information. Next time you need a website, ask yourself if you are really looking for a website, a web app, [...]
