RSSground.com / Aug 17, 2016 11:49 When it comes to a Facebook ads campaign, it’s essential that you know who your customers are. Not only the ones you already know about – y’know, the ones that pop into your shop on a weekly basis or are regulars on your website or social media pages – but also the ones you haven’t got yet. No, you don’t need Mystic Meg on the case. Facebook can help you find and target that ‘unknown’ audience, and is a whole lot less elusive or ambiguous about the whole thing too. What is Facebook ad targeting? Comparative to females optimistically searching for that ‘tall, dark and handsome’ man on the streets around them, Facebook will search in every corner of its digi-world to find people that are the perfect fit for your business as a customer. However, Facebook has a lot more success. Thanks to its varied selection of targeting options, Facebook will help you find the people you are looking for. All you’ve got to do is tell it who your ideal cust...

RSSground.com / Aug 11, 2016 11:37 Sounds like clickbait, right? A “listicle”, questionable facts loosely stitched together only to get you to visit. But what this really is is ten solid, if I say so myself, marketing tips based on almost a decade of technology marketing. I wrote them down because each of them has proven valuable in conversations with people that are marketing startups in one way or another. Here they are, in no particular order. #1. Talk to lots of customers in a short period of time. “Talk to customers” is the piece of advice that has probably the lowest ratio of awareness to real usage ie. everyone knows it and no-one seems to do enough of it. Let me one-up this: speak to a couple of dozen of customers in a short time at least once when you start working with a new company or customer group. I spoke to nearly 40 customers in 3 weeks for an hour each about 1,5 years ago as part of a customer persona exercise and while the result was useful, the process...

RSSground.com / Jul 29, 2016 11:47 From obscure websites that let users connect with family and friends back in the day, social media is now a tool for businesses to widen their target market, share content with their business audiences, and maintain a positive online presence. However, since technology tends to make everything fast-paced, some people just easily breeze through social media pages, without having a thorough look at content. This means that good social media campaigns must contain concise yet precise information for clients so that your social media page – and your business – can continue to engage people. Meanwhile, one key factor in social media posting is when, and how often, you post content on your pages. Although you already have good content to post, not knowing the optimal time to promote it on social platforms may spell the difference between targeting the right audience with your post, or your content getting lost among the hundreds of headlines th...

Although it appears the easiest, of all three, content curation can be considered as the most challenging. Content creation is the process of helping your target audience find the best possible content online. Do it wrong from the foundation and it will end up in shambles.

With that said, here’s what how you implement a content curation strategy. 1) Provide context to the curated content Offer your views, insights, and knowledge when presenting curated content. You can do this through a commentary or quote. Do this to each piece of content you curate. Although the content is not yours, there will be a sense of ownership...
