How Experts Use Twitter for Traffic Generation

This is my first crowdsourced blog post. Hector Cuevas from inboundpro gave me this idea and I thought it was about time I found out how far my efforts have taken me. The fascinating thing about this kind of articles is the amount of feedback people give you when you ask. Even the "big players".

I wrote a previous blog post on how to grow a targeted Twitter following and as I said at that time there is more to it than pure numbers. It's about building relationships. And so I can now say thank you to all contributors for sharing your wisdom on how to use Twitter for traffic generation.

Online Marketing Manager - A Job Description

Online Marketing is a term I find not easy to describe since it could mean anything or nothing. Somehow it must be about marketing on the internet, but then what is part of the internet? Is there more to it than just advertisement, search engine optimization and writing emails?

After successfully completing my seminar (which was actually more a six-month course) at the Social Media Akademie, maybe Germany's best-known educational institution for online training, I'm now officially allowed to call myself "Online Marketing Manager".

My First 30 Days of Twitter, Oh My!

If I had a dollar for every time someone said to me, “What, you’re not on Twitter?” I would be a rich woman. I knew I needed to get on and get engaged but I just kept putting it off. Life just got in the way. I hoped Twitter would go away just as quickly as it ballooned into popularity and I would save myself a great deal of time.

But for some reason, I woke up on April 10 with a lot of Twitter fire in my belly. I dove right in - amped up my profile, followed a ton of people, and added Follow Me links to all my web content. Yay! I did it and I was proud of myself. I tweeted and I waited and I tweeted and waited some more. But nothing really happened...

Market the Right Way on Social Media’s New Darling: Pinterest

New social media sites seem to be cropping up all of the time. Some of them do not pass muster and the populace of the web moves on to another. One of the new sites that are gaining quite a bit of popularity though is Pinterest. Michelle Hill already mentioned Pinterest a few weeks ago when she pointed out the growing importance of visual marketing.

At first, it might not seem as though a marketer would be able to do much with this type of outlet. However, the site is perfect for marketing visually. While it might not be an ideal solution for all companies out there, it will work wonders for quite a few. I'll show you how.
