Maturate & Engage in Dialogues Pre Sales Process

For some great Facebook-focused marketing tactics, check out facebook-marketing-tactics-you-might-not-know-abouthttp:// facebook-marketing-tactics-you-might-not-know-about Facebook More fans = more people potentially exposed to your content. But… You also need to create posts that will show up in “top news” on your fans’ walls. That’s more challenging.

I highly recommend which helps show the correlation between activities on Twitter and your ability to have the message spread. Twitter It’s not just about the follower count. Your tweets have to count for something and drive actions/awareness.

Good advice on LinkedIn profiles here - profile-for-best-results-howto (also, don’t miss the comments which discuss how the links work). profile-for-best-results-howto LinkedIn Like Facebook, LinkedIn now has a wall that drives “likes” and comments (as well as traffic). LinkedIn’s “Groups” are a powerful way to grow your network and spread a message.

Every two years, we put out but leave the URL the same, so it continues to accrue great link/social/sharing signals. Evergreen Content

After producing what is, admittedly, an awesome graphic Paralegal.net rose to page one in Google (and got bjillions of drive-by visits, too). Infographics

The genius game-like badges, points and progress at has helped make it one of the most successful sites in the Q+A world. Gamification

Feeds aren’t just useful for subscribers. They “ping” search engines, enable easy syndication and can be used by lots of content aggregators that send traffic, too. Blog Content Feeds On average, this many people actually read a post via feed

Fostering Community

These ( emulate the success of places like LinkedIn, Quora, Stackoverflow and others. They’ve increased participation and traffic to the profiles dramatically. User Profiles Progress Bar Highly customizable profile details Custom Photo Links to other web profiles

Guest blogging (or contributing content to any type of publisher) is a great way to build your brand and earn links. Tools like can help make the process easier. Partner Blogging + Writing

Partner Generated Content

HARO ( is a popular service that lets you get contacted when relevant reporters/journalists need sources. Hrmarketer ( ). Direct Connections to Journalists

Presentations = Engagement

I did a brief, 4-minute presentation at the Seattle 2.0 Awards - ceo-rand-fishkin-googles-panda-update that promoted our hiring + growth (focused on that audience’s values rather than trying to sell to them) ceo-rand-fishkin-googles-panda-update Live Events

Our webinars attract 500-1,000 attendees and earn lots of tweets, blog posts and links. Hubspot’s get 10K+ attendees attract 500-1,000http:// Webinars

I put many of my presentation on where they earn thousands of additional views. Online Presentations

Video

YouTube actually ranks as the second largest “search property” in the US, behind only Google: uploaded-every-minute/ uploaded-every-minute/ YouTube Don’t be a honey badger. Care about YouTube’s potential!

The “Long Tail” of Video Sites Long tail of video sites get 50% of all online video traffic/views!

At SEOmoz, we use who submits our video XML sitemaps to Google for us - Self-Hosted Video Content

Step #1: Promote Step #2:Test Step #3: Repeat Find marketing communities that look promising. Invest a few days/hours building authentic value in that niche/sector. Throw out low ROI programs; repeat high ROI programs.
