LAST MINUTE TIPS!BLOGGING

• Sub-headings are your friends • Don’t forget: you are writing a blog post, not an essay • Add value with pictures, videos and links • Check your spelling! • Include a call to action at the end

VIDEO…why bother? !

1.8 Million Words That’s the value of one minute of video, according to

Dr. James McQuivey of Forrester Research.

100 Million That’s the number of Internet users who watch online video each day.

And a whole of them are looking to buy a service or product.

90% The percentage of online shoppers at a major retailer’s website who said they find

video helpful in making shopping and buying decisions.

80% According to the Online Publishers Association, that’s the percentage of Internet

users who recall watching a video ad on a website they visited in the past 30 days. It gets even better. Of that 80%, 46% took the following action:

- 26% looked for more information about the subject of the video - 22% visited the website named in the ad

- 15% visited the company represented in the video ad - 12% purchased the specific product featured in the ad

64% That’s how much more likely website visitors are to buy a product on an online

retail site after watching a video. !

In addition, visitors who view videos stay on the site an average of 2 minutes longer than those who don’t view videos, comScore says.

75% Do your email subscribers drop like flies? Eloqua, an automated email marketing provider, noted that including video in an introductory email reduced the number

of subscriber opt-outs by 75%. !

Maintaining that contact is a vital part of establishing a relationship with prospects.

15 seconds According to research conducted by Jun Group (2011), videos that are 15 seconds or shorter are shared 37 percent more often than those that last

between 30 seconds and 1 minute.

VIDEO…what will you do? !

TOP TIPS…VIDEO

• Make your title count • Provide excellent content • Include your URL in your video • Brand your video (use your logo) • Include a call to action • Think SERIES

SOCIAL MEDIA

Where is your audience and what do they want to hear about?

HOW FACEBOOK WORKS…

• Pictures and videos are more likely to cross the line than text updates

• Boosting posts pushes them across into more News Feeds

This costs money so use it for posts that will give you a return on your investment e.g. posts about new products, that include a link to your website, special offers etc.

• Short and snappy is better than long and boring

• Include calls to action •Ask questions • Plan and schedule non-reactive content • Check out your Insights • Test and measure!

MORE FACEBOOK TIPS

•@username – how you identify yourself. Also how people talk to you

• RT – posts a copy of someone else’s tweet (it’s like an endorsement and should be of interest to your followers)

• DM – direct message. Like sending an email (no-one else can see). Use this for sensitive issues, sending your mobile no. etc

• #Hashtags – search term. Use to promote a given subject e.g. #election

TWITTER GLOSSARY…

•Ask people to retweet, instead of hoping they will •Use hashtags to start and take part in conversations…

•…but don’t use more than two in one tweet • Talking about someone? Include their @username

TERRIFIC TWITTER TIPS…

•Want that tweet to appear in the feeds of your followers? Don’t put @username at the beginning (rewrite the tweet or write .@username)

• Grab attention by including hashtags, links and images • Pictures uploaded via Twitter itself will automatically appear
