Plug Your Business! Marketing on MySpace, YouTube, blogs and podcasts and other Web 2.0 social networks "...
I learned a lot about on-line marketing with this book. He talks a lot about blogging... gives really good advice, like:
* Ask a question or pose a challenge in the first sentence
* Don't preach, blogging is a conversation
* Tell the truth (my favorite)
* Read lots of other blogs
* Don't be boring, a good blog takes sides
* Break news, be authentic, tell stories |
| On the YouTube front, he told great and inspiring stories of how businesses got great advertising. Chipotle ran a contest asking college students to make a 30-second commercial about the restaurant and post it on YouTube for a grand prize of $10,000. One video alone had 7.7 million views! That's worth $346,000 in on-line advertising. There is definitely some similar marketing plan in my future. Wendy's placed humorous videos, and one episode alone got 600,000 views. What great ideas!...." |
