Re: Using Your SEO and Analytics to Create a Social Media Strategy

Toma Bonciu — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 14:48:12 -0000

Hi,

I also use my analytics to sell. I think you can use the region from where you get the most visitors to try and sell your products there or maybe what is the keyword that delivers the highest traffic volume. Analytics can offer very helpful informations that can be used in your marketing campaign especially if the numbers are high.

Toma Bonciu — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 10:59:53 -0000

Indeed the users want trusted content. In my opinion "trusted content" is seen this way by clients in time; by reading your posts and articles or by seeing you activity on social media, the resources you bring to the community and so on. I think that trust is something you have to fight for.

Hi,

I've watched a couple of videos of you before commenting and I have to admit that at the beginning it was hard to deal with your enthusiasm. But as I kept wathing I got used with your way of talking and discovered the content and the ideas behind all this.

I think that in the end it only matters that you to be YOU and when you go to sleep to be pleased with what you do.

Hi Gary, (I'm WebOptimization from Twitter)

I'm thinking that the first video I saw with you I was like : What's this guy doing ? And why he is so enthusiastic ? But after I've watched few other videos and after I find out who he is and after he responded to my e-mails and to my DMs on Twitter I've become a Gary Vaynerchuk Fan. I show his videos to my friends and I think we all would like to be able to talk with so much passion in front of a video camera.

So, yes, Gary really cares. It's not just small talk. He really answers to your e-mail.

Thank you

Re: Gary Vaynerchuk - Reactionary business. Why predict the future? ...

Toma Bonciu — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:17:08 -0000

Hi Gary,

Great piece of advice there. Indeed to many concentrate on what the future might get them and try to prepare for that moment instead of just using what the present has to offer. I think this happens because in some way it's much more easy to hope for something that may happen then developing an eye for what's already happening and could become the next big thing.

The few that manage to spot different patterns in the present are the ones that will be able to launch successful businesses now. Those who base their business decisions only on what the future will bring will probably lose.

But also we have to give credit to thinking of what future might be and how my business could be influenced. I think that if you think about the future you have to be careful not to miss the real effect that is gonna have over you.

Thanks,

Toma Bonciu — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:23:04 -0000

Hi Gary,

I agree completely with you on the impact social media content can have on a customer. I also believe that it depends on the market and on location. For the US this is true 100%.

But I'm from Romania, from a small town where it's more difficult to reach people by social media. In time this will change but the way social media can impact people I think it also has to do with the geo location.

Thanks,

Re: Does Your Business Have a Purpose? - With Roy M Spence, Jr

Toma Bonciu — Wed, 20 May 2009 08:39:06 -0000

Thank you for this video interview : extremely valuable information (tweeted and stumbled). Every company needs a purpose that is not related to money. Disney wanted to make people happy and he made millions. Audi wants to progress through technology and they made millions. It's also important to be able to relate your purpose to a need, to something that people really want. Knowing what the purpose is and defining ways to get there I think is a good start.

Re: You Cant Just Have Peanut Butter

Toma Bonciu — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 04:03:30 -0000

Hi,

You hit the spot with this post. I think that the measurements you need, depend on what your goals are and what is your strategy for the long term. I think it's like a new website : first you build general content and in time you start creating more focused articles and you start addressing more specific keyword phrases. And you do this by watching the bounce rates and the number of visitors coming from the searches done for specific keywords and other factors.

It's all about what you want to achieve and what steps you think you need to take in order to get there.

Thank you

PS : good twitts also :)

Re: Sell Benefits Not Features

Toma Bonciu — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:18:44 -0000

This is so true. My wife and my brother have their own business in which they sell "real estate online advertising" for the owners helping them to sell their properties.
If she presents the benefits : you'll sell faster, your property will get the attention it deserves, the buyer will contact you directly then it's ok. And this method is much more successful then, for example, presenting the differences between our product and others.

Re: If I Started Today

Toma Bonciu — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 01:59:05 -0000

Hi,

Good information in terms of :
- good links : a starter could learn a lot from reading all the articles that you link from this article (about how to plan your articles, what topics you could cover depending if you are writing for yourself or a business blog)
- good advices :
1. Using a blog to express yourself or to market your business (products and/or services) if the first thing you should do. I can't think of an easier way to publish yourself on the Internet : easy to setup, configure and use
2. Having accounts on some social websites helps a lot but you have to get involved not only by providing links to great content to your community but also interacting with your followers as human as possible : advices, tips, answering their questions, a simple good morning and a good night. Because you need "to be there" in order to benefit from your activity I think that having few accounts helps. I only use Twitter, LinkedIn, Viddler and Youtube, Flickr and Facebook but I focus mainly on Twitter. The others are used more rarely.
3. I will also consider social bookmarking. Having a simple AddThis button to your blog articles helps to spread the word. And I would also make the first bookmark.
4. It's a very good advice to buy your domain. The name of the domain helps brand yourself but as we know people find information by searching. So if do your SEO you're ok. Having a domain name that matches your name helps when others would like to see what you have to offer and just search for your name (that means it's a good thing to buy your name also)

Re: Four Books About Changing the World- Videoblog

Toma Bonciu — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 14:33:17 -0000

Hi,

I feel that these days having video posts can improve greatly a blog. I think that video posts create a much more complex and complete image of the person who also writes on the blog.

I also decided to do this(recently - I have only one video on Viddler embedded on my blog), even thou I'm not that good in front of the camera but I think I can offer much more to my blog readers (not that many at this moment) and also give them the possibility to see me the way I am.

So, you should do this video posts more often.

PS : for me it was Michael Martine and Gary Vaynerchuk who inspired me to create video posts.

Re: Search is Part of Social

Toma Bonciu — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 08:25:30 -0000

That is why I use keywords in my social media posts. I'm not doing this in all my posts but when I talk technical I try to use in as many forms that I can.
That is why I post the name of the article on which I link to in my twitters because every title has keywords in it.
I use search extensively in order to find potential new friends or potential new clients or just to see what's the word out there.
If I search for my name on Google the first 3 results are my websites but after that comes links to my social media posts or accounts and there are 4,060 pages containing my name.

So, yes, search is a part of social media. Basically you can benefit from the direct contact with your friends and followers by helping them and sharing good content but also you can benefit from search if you're using keywords in your posts

Re: Make Useful Media

Toma Bonciu — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 05:24:05 -0000

Hi Chris,

Really inspiring ideas. I think that social media it's used at it's full potential. I mean, I would like to see for example a good hotel business blog. The type of articles there could be limited only by your imagination : all that you can see around, where to spend the free time (pubs that have reviews from users and maybe tips like : Friday night is the best because...). Also all kind of events that will take place in the city and after-the-event-pictures. And so many other articles.

I think you can monetize almost everything you would like to write if you do it the proper way and you offer enough good content to your readers.

Re: Guest Post - What Bloggers Can Learn From Journalists

Toma Bonciu — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 04:59:46 -0000

Hi Anita,

I think that your guest post shows very useful information and all that you said should be taken into consideration by any person who blogs. I think the hardest thing to do is to back away from the computer and from the web. Of course that this is depending on the theme of your blog but still I think it's a difficult thing to do. We all are so used to obtain our information over the Internet that we simply can't see it other way.

I'm not a journalist. I've found out that if you think first of what you're gonna write and you block down the headings then it's much more easy to do it. I use a structure like this one : summary, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 if needed, conclusion and between 500 and 800 words.

Thank you for your tips.

Hi Chris,

First I didn't knew what to write in a comment. But then the more I looked at the picture and re-reading in my mind the article it started to get to me : a warm feeling of a moment when you are siting in your favorite chair and reading a good book. The smell of paper and the possibility to also enjoy a hot coco or some tea or some coffee - what you prefer.

It would be great if you could succeed in transmitting such a feeling when people end up on your page on a social media website.

Re: 27 Blogging Secrets to Power Your Community

Toma Bonciu — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 09:34:51 -0000

Hi Chris,

This is a great collection of things to do in order to obtain a good article.

I think the title is the most important thing. It's weights at least 50% because it can make the users click and also is the most important place to use your main keywords. For me the title of the article has to promise something to the readers and also has to intrigue them enough to click and read the first paragraph.

And I've just landed on another tips : concentrate on the first paragraph. In my opinion it's crucial. Starting with a question is a great idea and I'll take it into consideration. I always try to summarize the content in the first paragraph and also rise the curiosity of the reader. I try to talk about what are the benefits of reading the article - what I have to offer.

Thanks for the article.

Re: Understanding Your Guests

Toma Bonciu — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:23:05 -0000

Hi Chris,

Knowing the people that visit your blog and what they expect to find and read is one of the things you can do in order to get them to come back. When you experience something that impresses you in a good way you'll most likely want to experience it again. Especially if the person creating the experience is trying to bring something new for you but in the same boundaries.

In time every blogger develops a certain relation with his readers - but in time. That is why every post you write receives dozens of comments and in my case my personal best is 10 comments. Trust is something that takes time to be earned but once you got it if you play your cards right you'll get only benefits.

Thank you for your article.

Re: Build Blog Posts Like Building Blocks

Toma Bonciu — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 13:59:54 -0000

Hi,

I think that in time we all find our calling and our blog will set on it's course. But each of us will found his direction in different time periods. The question is : are we determined enough to pursue that course of action ? Are we willing to find all the information possible, read it and then add a twist of our own and publish it on our blog ? Depends.
But I think that if I'll do my best to find all sort of information on the niche market I want to blog about, people will come and read my blog.

Thanks,

Re: The Righteous Web

Toma Bonciu — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:37:18 -0000

Hi Chris,

I remember that Seth Godin said that people are used to get free stuff on the Internet. Many people see social media as a way of interacting with others and just that. They don't expect to make any money, or they tried and failed and that is why they want others to be like them.

I think that it doesn't matter if you are clear or not about your intentions. For example I know that Gary Vaynerchuk won't tape a bad tip or a bad advice just because he can make some money out of it : the reason is he will lose big time on the long run if he decides to do so.

That is also why I trust what you say. Because the minute you're gonna say something stupid just for the money people will know.

So, keep doing what you do !

Re: Getting your marketing balance right!

Hi,

Great tips.

The first one I was familiar with : boosting your value or offering something extra that could compensate for a higher fee(I don't like reducing my price but I'm always open to offer something extra).

But your second advice I think has bigger value to me. I didn't knew that if people start asking really quick about the price they're scared to hear a much more bigger fee that they can afford. I'll keep that in mind, so if it happens at least I'll know how to react.

I have a question thou : did you raise this blog only by the quality of it's content ? I mean, I'm sure you used some techniques on Twitter also. I often see you engaging people on Twitter in this little games and I think it's good as long as they react to your questions.

Re: How to quickly boost your marketing results!

Toma Bonciu — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 14:19:59 -0000

Hi Jim,

I think that this is something so obvious and somehow we tend to overlook it when we go in the digital world.

I mean, we always talk different to different people in our real life. We know how to talk to our mother, to our father, to a doctor, to a bank employee. We realize that they are different and so we talk accordingly.

I'm just wondering why we seem to overlook this when we activate in the digital world. Why we don't realize that people are different when we market by sending e-mails for example. I think it's because we are used to interact in the real world and to judge what we see - these are things that we aren't able to do on the Internet. And this is what, I think, makes the difference between a great marketer and a simple one.

Thanks

Re: Quick Tip - Strategic marketing

Toma Bonciu — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 10:24:05 -0000

Hi Jim,

I agree that a long term vision is far better then a short one but still you need to keep an open mind to what happens around you. you have to able to make some minor changes to respond to a certain thing that might appear.

I also agree 100% on the fact that sending the same marketing letter over and over again will cause less responses every time you send it. I think it's happening just because people don't think. If every morning they would buy the newspaper with the same articles ? Or if they would publish the same article on a blog over and over again. Even the best cake in the world would become the worst if you're eating it every day.

Re: No advertising or sponsors!

Toma Bonciu — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 13:59:48 -0000

Hi there Jim,

I consider this decision to be a very important one because ads can play a big role on a blog and it can push readers away or make them come in higher numbers and thus making you money :).

But judging by the number of comments you get you don't have any problems with traffic and I'm sure that you have enough clients also.

Even I, who have few traffic, get at least one client at two weeks from my blog.

I support your decision on this and wish you all the best : by that I mean to create a really big and strong community and get some clients also from this.

Cheers. :-)

Re: Is your marketing exposed?

Toma Bonciu — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 10:16:43 -0000

Hi Jim,

I can't talk about how effective marketing was for me because my business is just starting so I don't have the big picture yet.

But I can say that I observe that the basic principles always apply no matter what we are talking about. Just like when we say it's good to develop multiple income streams so that if one of them fails then you still have the other ways of making money. I see that in marketing the same principle applies mainly because marketing leads to more potential clients and finally to more money. So it's a common sense to understand that if one of the ways of attracting clients fails then your business will suffer.

Thanks for the information. My eyes are now opening to some new directions that the basic principles may apply to.

Re: Twitter and me

Toma Bonciu — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 13:02:24 -0000

Hi Jim,

I also tried to follow more and more people trying to get clients but soon I found out that the only thing I was doing is seeing information I wasn't interested in.

Now I'm concentrating on quality rather then quantity but I decided not to un-follow the ones that tweet about things no related to my niche market.

I also found that I can drive more traffic to my blog by using other social networks like LinkedIn.

I still like Twitter but it's consuming a lot of time if you want others to interact with you and click on your links. I think the basic principle on Twitter is "post every day if you want others to talk to you".

Thank you

Re: It’s remarkable

Toma Bonciu — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 05:38:39 -0000

Hi Jim,

Great example. Many times we buy things just because someone told us how great the product is and how it saved him a few times. For example I was watching yesterday a video review on YouTube for Aaron Wall's SEO Book and after seeing the review and the summary of the book I decided that I want to have it. I know many things that are discussed in that book but I considered to be a great way to check if what I know is also right (because I learned everything on my own). So, yes, word of mouth really worked on my but if that review would've been boring I don't know if the effect would be the same.

Thanks

Hi Jim,

Nice one. The reason I place this comment is that I see similarities with small business owners from my country - I have to say I'm surprised - I thought that this kind of thinking doesn't appear in countries that are much more evolved from any aspect are you looking. I thought that competitive economies would polish the business owners and force them to THINK.

Being indifferent to clients will lead you to money loss and maybe missing some great business opportunities.

Re: 6 words to transform your results!

Toma Bonciu — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:47:19 -0000

Hi there Jim,

Thank you for your article. Totally agree with you especially because lately I started to ask myself similar questions. It all started when I launched my new blog and a friend of mine that has over 30k follower on Twitter, posted a tweet about my blog and about me. The next day I only had few more followers and a little over 100 visitors to my blog (the day before that I had about 85). So my question was : how many people really follow him ? (this is also the subject of my latest article :) ). I see so many people with thousands of followers but now makes me wonder if they can help that person achieve something.

I only have 1,2k followers but I would be so glad if 500 of them would click my links. That is why I redefined what I want from Twitter and now I'm only following people that are strictly from my niche. For all the others I will create a "trace" by posting related tweets and related articles - so they can find me via search.

Sounds a little odd. It's like going on a store where the front door opens only from outside. :) Maybe it's not a real newsletter; maybe it's a list of e-mails and the sender uses an automated program to send e-mails by hand.

Good interview. I also read Michael's Blog and I'm following him on Twitter also. He provides good content at a regular base and that is why is always a pleasure to read his blog.

Hi,

Indeed social websites can drive traffic to your blog but I think it's not sufficient to be proactive and to offer good content and to play by the rules. You also need the help of some known users in that social networks. Even the most banal article is gold on the blog of a well known person.

So I think that you also need a little bit of luck in order to succeed.

Hi,
I really like number 3; I was placing great importance on the first paragraph but I'll try and make some experiments with the second paragraph also. Thanks for the tip.

This is so true. Social media it's about participation and giving : the more you'll give the more you'll receive. All your actions in a social network will trigger indirect sales if you offer all your knowledge to the community.

Thank you.

Hi,

Good tips. I've always thought that when you're about to start doing something that it's gonna be hard and painful it's enough to take the first step and the rest will come. Of course that is necessary to know what steps needs to be done in order to do it properly.

I don't know how always, no matter what you need to do, it all comes to patience, involvement, determination.

Thank you
