By measuring your results you can move toward a more profitable business online.

How Second Screen Social Affects Social Media

Kramer explains how we have evolved into using several different devices in our social interactions.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Americans under the age of 65 are watching less and less television each year. Television apps are now all the rage with over 200 new channels having been created.

 

  • The heaviest users of social media are women ages 35 to 49 (the Generation X women). These people are more likely to make an online purchase than non-social media users.

 

  • In order to reach your target audience you need to now have a creative approach. This means businesses can  market to both television and social media users.

Instagram tips on hashtags
Vanessa Ong Li Wen's curator insight, March 19, 2017 10:39 AM

As a non-user of Instagram, I understand the attraction of the application and the use of hashtags to gather as many like as possible. However, I fail to understand the prevalence of such a technology in our world today. An article on how to use hashtags as effectively as possible? When did it become a necessity for us to write about getting as many likes and affirmation as possible? If I were to use Instagram, I would treat hashtags as a way to simply and deconstruct the message that my photo was trying to convey. For example, if I were to post a photo of an art piece, instead of writing a detailed explanation of the piece which most would not want to read about, I would use hashtags to highlight whatever it is I wish to express to my followers. While I understand that Instagram may be attractive because it lets us in on our friends’ lives and serves as a platform for us to receive affirmation from our peers, I do not think we should rely on Instagram so heavily to the extent that we write articles on how to make our posts more popular and well received. We should make use of this application to share our photos and activities with our friends, as well as show appreciation to others through this platform.

Make Your Website More Successful

 

To attract subscribers your website needs to stand out online. I agree that a new design can help improve your chances.

 

Zolotaryova provides the right steps to take to make the necessary changes.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Before getting started it's important to analyze and narrow down your niche. For this to happen you need to take advantage of the right tools to learn more about what the competition is doing.

 

  • Use organic search methods to attract website traffic. Include a set of words and phrases that reflect your brand -- known as semantic core.

 

  • Perform a technical audit such as your URLs, Meta tags and titles, any broken links, ect. Fixing these errors will help more visitors see your website in search.

I selected this article from Curatti written by Tony Zambito because it explains the illusion of publishing too much content in order to stand out.

 

The right way to approach your audience is through high-quality content, not high quantity.

 

Correct Misguided Thinking for Your Content Strategy

 

The current thought is to put as much content as possible in front of your readers in order to grow online. I agree that we can lose focus on the quality of the articles by doing this.

 

Zambito explains the different misconceptions related to content planning and marketing.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Organizations have taken their eyes off of what is taking place in the digital world. The customer experience can get missed when we do not pay attention to this.

 

  • The customer journey is not the same as the content journey. Businesses need to focus on the interactions and experiences instead.

 

  • As content producers we need to move away from a broadcasting mentality. This includes how we personalize what we write.

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • The new approach of communicating with your customers privately should be introduced slowly. This will help them transition from just relying on making comments publicly on social media.

 

  • Speed up your response times with the use of integrated AI and bots. This is turn improves customer satisfaction as long as they do not know it is not an actual human who is replying to them.

 

  • Set up a customized welcome message on Twitter when they write a DM. Customers also have the option now of selecting from a multiple choice menu.
