Why Social Media Marketing Fails and What You Can Do About It

Why social media marketing fails  …

 

With 1.39 billion monthly active Facebook users worldwide,

and 890 million people logging onto Facebook daily …

why is it that social media marketing fails to deliver the results expected?

Do You Market in the Year We Actually Live In?

The variable for success in social media marketing is marketing for 2015 instead of 2005.

Technology has ushered marketers into a new age and many businesses have not caught up – both online and offline.

As Gary Vaynerchuk shared in the video, smart phones are the most utilized means of connecting to the internet.  If your website is not mobile optimized, you are losing.

Additionally, Google just recently implemented their new algorithm which is designed to feature only search results from optimized websites when searches are done on smart phones or tablets.  (read about “Mobilegeddon” here)

You can test if your website is mobile friendly here.

Some great plug-ins to optimize your WordPress site are recommended in this article.

It’s not too late to catch up and make sure your site is mobile optimized.

Are you seeing how Mobilegeddon is affecting your mobile searches?

P.S.  The other side of the issue why social media marketing fails is the  misleading training that leads online marketers, especially newbies, into an ugly pit of pitching and spamming.

We do it differently in Simple Freedom.  We keep it simple and real, we teach attraction marketing, we help you get set up and growing in a few simple steps.

If you know the value of Facebook and other social media platforms and have not generated leads or sales from your efforts, come on over to Simple Freedom.  (you’ll thank me later!)

 

Internet marketing is the best way to create job security.

Facebook Embed Video Feature is a Great Timesaver for Bloggers

The new Facebook embed video feature is a great timesaver for bloggers.

 

In the past, if you wanted to include a video on your blog, it required you to upload your video to YouTube  to get an embed code.

Same thing if you wanted to include a video that was relevant to the content you were publishing.

It took time to go through the steps to upload the video to Facebook.  And when it all comes down to it – time is money to online marketers.

Additionally, with the recent changes in the Facebook algorithm that now gives native videos on Facebook more promotion, this added feature is making it even easier for bloggers to include their videos on Facebook as well as their blogs.

See how easy this is:

 

This should save you some extra steps.

Make use of this now in your video marketing.  Utilizing Facebook’s new algorithm and now this new video embed feature is one of the most impactful actions you can use right now in your business.

As always, be sure your videos provide value and service to your audience.

Be sure to keep them short and always remember to grab your viewers’ attention in the first few seconds of recording the video.

Would love to hear how this Facebook video embed feature is going to help you in your marketing!

How to Turn a Powerpoint into a Video

For those who are camera shy, this will show you how to turn a powerpoint into a video.

 

In this video, I am using Powerpoint 2007 and Windows Movie Maker 12.  Powerpoint comes with Microsoft Office, so there is a cost to it.  But Movie Maker 12 is free.

Here’s the link to download the movie maker.

In this video, I took a recent Facebook post and turned it into a video by adding the text and more pictures to the powerpoint.

You can do this with blog posts or any kind of step by step training you wish to share.

NOTE:  I know I’ve said your videos should be brief, but training videos are different … they require a little more time to explain how to do something.  Just be sure you have a mix … lots of short videos with longer training videos added in.

Let me show you how fun and easy it is to turn a powerpoint into a video:

 

Here’s the finished powerpoint in video form:

 

Tomorrow, I will be sharing the free screen capture video tool that I used to make this training video!

Never Write Another Blog Post Again

Would it you save time is you would never write another blog post again?

This is a huge help for bloggers.  I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

What if you could turn all your amazing Facebook posts into blog posts automatically?

Would that save you time?

Would that ease some of the pressure you feel to create content for your blog every day?

Listen, I know how it is. Some days you are on fire and able to blast out a blog post in record time.

But, some days, it’s like you are walking through mud to create anything worth reading.

Super Bowl Challenge – Are You In?

I’ve got a Super Bowl Challenge for you … Are You IN?

 

Pretty astonishing figures for Superbowl 2015 published here.

184 MILLION Americans are expected to watch the game.

43 MILLION will be hosting a Super Bowl party.

13 MILLION will be heading to bars to view the game.

$14.31 BILLION is the estimated Super Bowl-related consumer spending

$4.5 MILLION is the estimated cost to run a 30-second commercial

$10,375 is the current lowest price for a Super Bowl ticket on the official NFL ticket exchange website, as of Thursday

Over half of America’s population will be watching the Super Bowl?

Yep!  Current population is 316 MILLION!

We’ll be watching along with all the other millions. Heck, we’re in Phoenix, but decided on the party with friends instead of the $20k
we’d spend for tickets!

Ok, so let’s get to the Super Bowl challenge I have for you.

It’s a 21 Day Blogging Challenge.

 

It won’t cost you $10,375 … it won’t cost you $100.

It’s FREE.

If you’ve never blogged before … this is for you. You are given templates to fill in with suggested information.  Simple to do.

If you are a blogger, this is a great way to consistently blog for twenty one days and expand your awareness of ideas to use for your blog.

As I said, this challenge is free to take.

But, here’s the statistics:

80% won’t take the challenge, and of those 80% …

95% never stay committed.

5% DO.  They are the ones who see change, who see results, who increase their income.

5%  are the doers, and dreamers, and creators of freedom.

The question is … are you one of the 5%?

The 21 Day Blogging Challenge starts here.

Have you ever asked “how can I” do something different to change my life?
