Some Brands Have Good Ideas For Social Media. Do You?

October 24th, 2009 Open Admin No comments

Not all big brands are using social media tools to the potential they could be. For this reason, it really sticks out when they do. There are plenty of small businesses you can learn a lot about ways to use social media from, but it is the big brands that have the truly wide reach. These are the ones that are easier to find, just because they’re brands that you know.

Paid to Tweet by Pizza Hut Take Pizza Hut for example. The company seems to appear in the social media news circles fairly often. One time it was for posting a job opening for a Twittering position. Another time it was for using Twitter as a tool to drive its efforts to help feed the hungry.

Look at Ford. They utilize all kinds of different social media channels. They go where the people are, and they interact with them in different ways. They keep it at a human level. They look for trends and try to determine what people want. They use Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, Scribd, Delicious, etc.

Mattel is the latest big brand to make headlines with social media efforts. The company just announced a new e-commerce site with social shopping features. WebProNews reported on that here.

You probably interact in some capacity with big brands on a daily basis, whether that is something as simple as getting a Coke out of the vending machine or running around the neighborhood in your Nikes. Find products you use. Find products you like and are interested in. Then see how they are using social media (if they are). This way you are placing yourself directly in the role of the customer, and you can evaluate exactly what you are getting out of their social media experience.

Since you can look at this from the customer’s perspective, you can use that to determine strategies that you feel work, and those that you feel don’t. It’s not a bad way to find concepts you can apply to your own business or at least some that you can test.

LinkedIn Introduces Custom Profiles for Companies

July 28th, 2009 Open Admin No comments

LinkedIn has launched new custom company profiles. These let companies and other organizations create rich, multimedia overviews of what they are all about for prospects to view and engage with.

The custom company profile displays content that company’s can easily tailor and update, and the content dynamically adapts to the viewers, based on their industry, job function, location, and seniority. This is good for targeting.

 "Customers can target multiple groups with differing content, and refresh the content periodically (up to 12 times a year), says LinkedIn’s Prasad Gune. "The product offering also provides ways to drive users to the company profile. Companies can also receive monthly usage reports indicating ‘demographic’ information on visitors to the profile."

Here’s an example of what a custom company profile could look like:

Custom Company Profiles

The custom profile creates increased visibility for a company’s employment brand. A second tab appears on the company page for "careers," a Career Center module takes prominence, and it links to the company’s custom content on the Career Tab.

Company’s can include items like recruitment messaging that appeals to prospects on a personal level, employee spotlights, a polling feature, video clips, who to get in touch with, and links to the career site to help a candidate take action.

July 26th, 2009 Open Admin No comments

Cheap hosting solutions are popular commodity today, because with the increasing amount of people using the Internet, this also brings about the amount people who want to get their websites be hosted. Of course, website hosting is not something that most people get excited about; therefore, most people want a cheap hosting company in order to get their website hosted quickly and easily.

The majority of people don’t consider the ramifications of this down the road; basically they want to get their website up and running as soon as possible. Of course, you don’t need to pay a lot of money to get good hosting, but oftentimes cheap hosting is not the best option for you, depending on who you go with.

You often times get what you pay for. Unfortunately, cheap hosting solutions companies have developed a reputation of having shoddy customer service and usually unsecured Web servers.

Therefore, your website will always be a risk of being hacked. However, if you are determined to go with a cheap hosting company, here’s some important tips and information to keep in mind.

Remember, before you go with any cheap hosting solutions, it is crucial to know exactly what you need in a hosting company. This include things such as your website features, Internet program programming language you will need, database connectivity features, e-mail addresses, domain name, how much traffic you expect yet, etc.

Of course, the only way to know how good the hosting companies’ customer service is before going with them is either to contact them yourself or read customer reviews on them. Reading customer reviews is probably the best option because when you call somebody yourself, you sometimes get a much different experience than what it will be down the road.

For instance, you might call the company and have a good experience your first call, when they are trying to make the sale; however, there might be the last time you ever hear from them. You need to have a good bodywork in order to know whether or not a cheap hosting solutions company is really is as reliable as they claim.

Reading customer reviews is a great way to do this, because you’ll tap in and knowledge of people who are either current or past customers of the particular company you are looking into, and can find out how reliable they are. There are many sites that are designed specifically to review hosting companies, and it really doesn’t take a whole lot of work to find these; just a quick Google search will usually suffice.

One more quick tip: know what kind of hosting you need, whether it be a virtual private server or shared hosting. While I don’t have time to go into the specifics here, keep in mind that a virtual private server (VPS) gives you much more space on your hosting providers’ server, is more secure, but also costs more money.

If you are a full time internet marketer, and plan on doing a lot of business online, this is definitely something you want to consider investing in. The bottom line truth is that not all hosting companies are created equal. It does take some research to find the best one.

Obviously, unless you are a super techy, hosting probably doesn’t excite you; it’s just a necessary thing you have to do to get your site online. Use these tips to find the best cheap hosting solutions as quickly as possible.

Shoutserv Is Scammer

July 9th, 2009 Open Admin No comments

Yes, its true, as said above shoutserv is a scammer, they have cheated many clients.

This blog topic i made just to make everyone aware from shoutserv.

My friend daryo got scammed by shoutserv, you can check here what daryo said http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?s=d0c31fd1515773f9fb321e4d9f370262&t=504573&highlight=shoutserv&page=2

They were down from many days, if you must have noticed if anybody has there site nameserver with ns5.shoutserv.com and ns6.shoutserv.com its still down, and it will not be up again, if any of our visitors think that shoutserv will be back, and let me tell you, it will not be back ever, as they have started new hosting company with a new name called hostingspace4u.com and hostingspace4u.net

I am sure many of you must be knowing about this, that they have started new hosting company.

Many people who cannot view there site with there ip address, is that because sometimes your isp gives you problem to view there website, so for that, you can try using proxy website for viewing there site http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html and if you get timeout error with proxy, it means there other website is down.

Many of people has confusion whether hostingspace4u.com is the website of shoutserv or not.

To clear your this doubt, you can check there domain who is by going to http://who.is just copy paste the link and open a site on new window of your browser, and check details about them.

Almost nothing will match, and you will be able to see that here

http://who.is/whois-com/ip-address/hostingspace4u.com

The creation of domain was made on 2007-10-14 it means when they had closed the site, immedatie after that they registered this domain, also they have kept there details private, because they dont want to tell everyone who they are.

Now check who is of hostingspace4u.net

http://who.is/whois-net/ip-address/hostingspace4u.net

You will be finding IP address similar to hostingspace4u.com but if you check the creation date of hostingspace4u.net it will be given as 2007-09-24

Check out now the differences, and see how they cheat the clients.

A honest hosting company always provide there true details about there company.

But this company never gave there true details, so stay away from shoutserv.com aswell as from there new hosting company.

They have also given false reviews about there own hosting company.

If you see the testimonials in there website, you will find this written there in http://hostingspace4u.com/about.html
