Social Networking: Posting Your Social Content for Maximum
Impact & Coverage
The
hottest current trend in internet marketing right now is social media &
networking. There are dozens of sites where we can 'hang out' online with
other like minded entrepreneurs to make new friends & valuable contacts. One
way of enhancing your online profile to establish yourself as a leader is to
produce useful & educational content for others to view or read.
Producing videos & writing content all takes time, but then it also takes
more time to post it to the different sites on the internet for others to
read. However, over the last few months I have developed a system that works
very well for me in getting good coverage & it also save me a great deal of
time & effort.
By
posting 1 piece of work to a site does not mean that you will cause
duplication by posting it to other sites. It is perfectly acceptable to post
1 video not only to YouTube but then also to Metacafe, Viddler, MySpace
video, Google video, Yahoo video. Providing the video content is not
promotional then I will also embed it from YouTube to Betternetworker.
Remember that different people will visit different sites & not everyone
goes straight to YouTube. In fact the more video sites you can find to
upload to the better. The same principle applies to written content so the
same article can be posted to blogs & article submission sites as well as
the video description without fear of duplication.
I have
found that by uploading my video to the free service tubemogul.com it is
automatically posted to approx. 7 video channels which include YouTube &
Metacafe. The post to YouTube automatically updates the YouTube page on my
personal website. So by just 1 initial upload of the video & description it
gets distributed at least another 7 or 8 times. The description/article then
also gets posted to my blog, MySpace blog, Betternetworker blog &
EzineArticles.com.
My
online followers get to know about this activity via a ping from ping.fm
which sends an alert to twitter.com, Facebook & MySpace.
So, 1
article & 1 video get distributed to approx. 9 video channels, 3 blogs,
article submission site & twitter by 3 or 4 uploads.
Using
the internet for business & working from home is all about being efficient
with time. People choose to work in home businesses to enhance the quality
of their lives & increase the amount of time they have to spend doing the
things they really want to do. By using leverage like this we can harness
the immense power of the web leaving us free to be living our lives as we
truly want to.
