Re: Email v Facebook Conversion Rates

Anita Campbell — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 11:04:08 -0000

This is a good article, Ivan. I happen to agree with you that Facebook is good for certain limited types of promotions: one-time events, contests and the like. But it becomes incredibly annoying to Facebook fans/friends if you are trying deliver all your sales promotions on Facebook. It shouldn't be viewed as a direct sales channel for your regular daily sales.

I wish I had seen this article before our #SMBchat the other night. We discussed the topic email vs social media. This would have been a good source to point out.

Re: Five Reasons You SHOULDN’T Use A List

Elaine, I thought it was clever the way you responded in list form, including the LOLs being listed. That made me laugh right away. And the other list points you made were great -- they came across with greater impact because of responding in a list form, with a little humor in them too. You could take that and expand the list. Just a thought ....

I loved your comment, Elaine! This could be turned into a standalone post on its own.

Hi Connor, I agree that lists are lazy from a creative standpoint. We have found, however, that lists are some of the most popular forms of posts from a reader perspective. They tend to get more pageviews, more tweets ... well, more everything. I think a lot of people end up writing lists because readers tend to gravitate towards them. Oh well ...

Has Facebook Wall spam increased? It seems like it, now that you write this. And you wonder why they bother since anyone paying attention to their wall will take it down ... I guess they figure that a few people will be asleep at the switch and not take action.

Thanks for the insights, Amanda.

Elli, I too will miss Fred and Facundo. But they have assured us we'll still see them on social media from time to time. Thanks for the welcome!

Marie -- definitely! Niall and I have been burning up Skype and email to understand each member's expectations better, and strategize on new features and new opportunities to serve you all.

I am so thrilled to join in with Bloggertone in an official way. Words can't describe how I feel and how much I look forward to it. I've already gotten to know some of you who are members, and I can't wait to know you better and to "meet" those I haven't encountered before. And thank you, Sian, for the big welcome!

Fred, Facundo, Niall and I have worked together really well in the past. So I know Niall and I are going to have fun on this journey. Fred and Facundo won't be around as much anymore, but they will still have an interest in the background.

So, I'm looking forward to the next great stage of Bloggertone -- and exciting new opportunities for each of you.

This is such an important reminder for all of us in our businesses, Barney.

As my business grows, I am becoming painfully aware of what I spend my personal time on. As a friend of mine says about business owners and leaders, we should make sure we spend our time on our "highest and best use."

Re: Is Blog Content Licensing Dead?

Jonathan, Another blog licensing company to add to your list is Newstex - http://newstex.com/ They pay for redistributing blog content. While I am not going to get rich off of the royalties, it is nice to get a little payment each month from your content.
