I’m just back from the Niche Affiliate Marketing Systems workshop in Atlanta. The biggest buzz was about social media marketing and how to best utilize Twitter, Facebook, You Tube, Linked In and others. Interestingly, there was not a consensus about strategies. In fact, during one panel discussion there was a real debate between Joey Smith & Maritza Parra.
We were witnessing a rare occurrence at an Internet marketing event–a no holds barred brain dump. Typically you would get a few tidbits of advice but not the real secrets. But once these successful marketers got going, they let it all hang out. David Perdew who sponsored the workshop pulled the very best out of the panel for a solid hour.
Wow! is all I can say. Normally you would have to get to know someone and then pick their brain one-on-one in order to get this kind of information. For example, Maritza shared how she creates Tweetamonials to promote her websites and product creation products. Tweetamonials? I dare say that no one in the audience had ever heard of this strategy.
And then there was Mr. Social Media himself, Joey Smith, who had a totally different viewpoint on the best way to use Twitter for marketing. Add Willie Crawford, Kevin Riley and Jeff Herring to the mix and you have an incredible amount of actionable information.
Fortunately, it was all recorded! That’s good for me because I can go back and listen again. I’m sure my note taking missed some of the nuggets. But good for you too. If you hurry, you can get the recording for yourself. To see if Strategies 4 Social Marketing is still available, click the link.
