What Happens When Networking Gives Social Media the Hump: Synkronice and Spinglo

Social Media Marketing is no longer a new wave. In the constantly evolving world of online commerce it’s a rapidly maturing channel for information, communication, interaction, selling, buying and customer service: you name it; it happens. Word of Mouse works just like good old fashioned word of mouth but with infinitely greater reach. People like sharing, after the stage of childhood snatch and grab, people like to connect with each other and share the useful, nonsensical and the downright daft. If there is a bargain or a revolution; social media is right in at the core of changing events. Witness Groupon and the Arab Spring. Social Media is a driver in all walks of life, leisure and learning. As social media has grown, the marketing community hasn’t...

WordPress Themes are Coming of Age.

WordPress Themes are Coming of Age.

After several months of using the Thrilling and Atahualpa themes on this and other blogs,  I had become dissatisfied with the way the categories listing was starting to crawl down from the header section into the main posting space. It tended to make anything I say about marketing tips look unprofessional and discouraged me from buying into the paid version. I don’t mean to throw sticks at an otherwise excellent theme that I was using the free version of.  It was a simple case of not finding (or making) enough time to dig out a solution to the problem. WordPress as a vehicle, is amazing for anybody who wants to get online quickly and effectively, but more importantly now, it has matured into an incredibly sophisticated open source offering that is available...

WordPress Direct, An Auto Blogger Review

WordPress Direct, An Auto Blogger Review

A couple of months ago, I signed up for Ed Dales Challenge 2010.  This is a challenge based internet marketing course, which provides its training materials free and only involves minimal extra costs.  If you have any aspirations about getting online to earn cash, I highly recommend you access these materials as they teach – through a free trial, the use of  1 tool that makes the investigation of microniches a much faster task and also gives you access to a 2nd software that is the subject of this review.  WordPress Direct is essentially a blog empire management service, for all internet blog marketing megalomaniacs! It seems as though the actual Challenge Free trial is still available so I would get it while you can – and in their words: Welcome...

There is an enormous change in the behaviour of the Customer since web 2,0 evolved.  However nerdy or odd to some of us old gits; the...

Can A Listbuilding System Be TOTALLY Automated?

Can A Listbuilding System Be TOTALLY Automated? I know we’re all a bit sick and tired of promises of “automated software” that will make us rich before dinner, because there is NO SUCH THING! And I’ve become very sceptical of these kinds of outrageous claims.  But today I may start feeling like  eating my words. Because I just picked up a listbuildilng system that really is incredibly fast…, and the traffic actually does keeps flowing in, seemingly on auto-pilot if you IMPLEMENT the system. It’s a pretty new tactic on the scene that I’ve heard of before under different names, but I never really knew how to implement it until I found this: Free Plug N Play Listbuilding System At that link, 7 figure marketer Bill McRea is ...
