Below are 5 steps to help kick start your blogging success:

Step 1:

Unique, Engaging Content found among the masses on the internet will always attract an audience because it is information that they don’t already know. Maybe the subject has already been discussed but you have a different take on it, but keep in mind that repeat content is boring and therefore unlikely to attract interest. Useful content is always being sourced, take your client questions for example, most likely they aren’t the only ones asking the question, taking inspiration from these could be a be a great approach to writing engaging and informative content. Keep it industry related as opposed to your company, people won’t read your posts if they feel like their being sold to. So what do you write about? Industry updates, news, how to’s and important general information relating to your services and or products that your consumers/clients need/want to know.

Step 2:

Updating your Social Media such as Facebook of Twitter is also very important and helps drive traffic to your blog. By updating your blog posts to your social media platforms it reminds your followers, people who are interested in your business/company of new entries/content. You can also add social media share links/buttons to the bottom of each post allowing people to share your posts within their own social media networks spreading the word amongst their own friends and followers.

Step 3:

Frequent updating is vital in order for your blog to be successful. By publishing posts about 2-3 times a week, content is kept fresh, attracting readers and search engine robots for SEO. By maintaining an active blog you show your audience that you are a professional in your industry keeping up to date with current trends. This allows you to create followers by allowing readers to subscribe via RSS feed and receive direct updates when you post to your blog.

Step 4:

Including relevant keywords (industry and topic) in your posts is a great way to make sure your posts are found in search engine results by users looking for that particular topic. Developing a list of keywords for each post and using these words as often as possible while still engaging your readers can be challenging, however these keywords will assist with ranking on search engine results and increase traffic for your website.

Step 5:

Allowing comments on each of your posts allows readers to give feedback, reply or create a discussion about your post. Many Companies are hesitant to allow comments due to negative feedback that may arise. However, negative comments can be an opportunity to speak directly with that person and offer suggestions, advice and solutions. Address them by name and reply in a way that shows you value their opinion or feedback. For businesses that are still very hesitant, you have the option to moderate comments before they are posted publicly, or delete if necessary.

So what does this mean for you?

The Facebook Timeline interface is designed to improve consumer interaction with brands and companies, which so far, according to the studies, facebook is living up to that promise. With larger image and video areas you can now achieve a more “website” appearance which is winning much favour. This means more control available over the look and feel of the content along with the large tab images to navigate users to other pages giving greater control of how the user interacts with your information.

Customise your Timeline Visuals / Brand

Timeline pages as mentioned previously are now more visual based and consist of a large cover photo, profile picture, photographs and videos to express your identity.

Cover Photos capture the essence of your brand and showcase your products or services. However, Facebook terms state that, under no circumstance should your cover image include any call to actions (e.g. ‘Like’ our page, 40% off, phone numbers etc.) or any information intended for your pages about section. Cover image dimensions are: 851px wide and 315px high however you can just put a larger image in place and crop.

Profile Pictures should be used for your logo or an icon related to your logo or company. The profile picture follows your business on Facebook as a thumbnail image in news feed stories, ads and sponsored stories, making it an element people associate to your brand/company. Profile picture dimensions are: 180px wide and 180px high scaling to 32 x 32px.

With large visual tabs now found at the top of the page under your cover photo, your photos, events and custom apps are now easier for your visitors to find.

The About Section now allows up to 130 characters to show on the timeline page, that a great improvement on the original 2-3 lines showed in the old layout. Including your website URL in this section is also a great idea as it will automatically hyperlink.

Landing Pages, Tabs & Apps

One of the biggest changes to facebook is your custom landing pages, tabs and apps as these are no longer able to be set to your default landing page. When people visit your facebook page the timeline is now your landing page, however your old landing pages are still accessible through the tabs under your cover photo. This doesn’t mean that tabs are now useless, you can now access your tabs from the top of the timeline similar to how you would pages on a website it actually gives these pages more credibility. Using these pages/tabs as promotional pages, rss feed pages and contact forms create the feel of a mini website and the new tabs are larger allowing up to 810px width to engage your users with.

All custom app pages are now easier to find, being placed alongside the photo, likes and event tabs. These can be re-arranged with the photos tab being the only exception showing in the first spot. So be sure to arrange your tabs/apps in order to what matters most. You can now display up to 12 apps in this area with a handy dropdown feature located to the right.

Other Great Features

Pinning Posts, this is a great feature allowing you to anchor your most important stories to the top of your timeline page for up to 7 days. To pin an update, select the pencil icon in the upper-right corner of your post, followed by “Pin to top” in the drop down menu. Keep in mind though that new content will always be more engaging.

Fan Messaging is an optional new feature which allows you to add a message button to the top of the page for your visitors to contact you directly.

The New Administrator Panel allows you to keep track of your activity (new likes, posts and tags) on your page from the admin panel. Respond to posts on your timeline wall, and view your latest insights.

Highlight important stories with the new star button featured at the top right of you posts. This feature allows you to take a post and make it full width across your timeline.

Milestones allows you to define your key moments throughout time e.g. Opened your first store, Sold your first product or expanded.

Email Newsletter sign up form with colourful headline – eg Get Free Updates Straight to your Email!!

Adding a Email Newsletter sign up form to your website is a fantastic way to collect a client database, but how do you get people to actually sign up?

Promotional mail out, direct marketing with call to action

Maybe you want to target specific businesses or corporate companies. Sending out a flyer promotion can be a great marketing strategy. Advertise your business while offering something in return. For example: if they fill out the flyer form and return by mail or visit your website to sign up for your email newsletter  receive a FREE key ring!

Blog/ Post Feed sign up

If you are a frequent blogger, suggest your readers subscribe to your blog to receive your news and updates directly into their inbox. This is a great way to collect the details of those who you may not have usually marketed to, and yet be the ones most likely to read what you’re sending them. Blogs also attract more traffic to your website, so therefore brings more customer opportunities.

So with some very well planned strategies and a little patience collecting a client database can be very simple. Need help setting up any of the options above contact the Mediamojo team to discuss your best approach and how we can get you started.

Google Adwords is a type of internet search marketing where ads appear next to Google search results and the advertiser pays an amount every time their ad is clicked by a prospect. It allows your ads to connect with your customers at the precise moment when they’re looking for your products or services, and you only pay when the customer clicks on your ad and connects to your website. You don’t pay to list your ad, you only pay for clicks, hence the terms Pay Per Click (PPC) and Cost Per Click (CPC). This differs to traditional Newspaper and Magazine advertising where you are required to outlay valuable marketing capital to promote your business to people that have no interest in your message.

Why use Google Adwords?

Google Adwords may possibly be the most powerful marketing tool ever developed. With Adwords, you can reach a global audience of over 800 million internet users, or target local cutomer areas and acquire new customers from as little as $0.05 per acquisition. Online searches for products and services are at an all-time high and will only ever increase. If you don’t advertise on the web you are greatly limiting your business growth and potential sales.

However setting up an effective Adwords campaign is not a simple process, and requires time, dedication and most important of all, a high level of expertise. That’s where we come in. Mediamojo will not only set up a Google Adword campaign for you, but also monitor and maintain it, ensuring optimal results and effective costs per click. We’ll keep you informed and explain to you in layman terms what is happening with your campaign. Contact us for an ongoing maintenance package that will suit your online marketing needs and experience the power of Google Marketing.
