Marketing on Facebook has a new textbook!
Finally; A Facebook resource from someone who knows what they’re talking about!
Seems like we’ve been assaulted every other day for the last several years with course after course of “Facebook Marketing Advice”, and the truth is, precious little of it has much if any worth.
Now I can say with a lot of relief that I finally found one that I can recommend to my clients.
Lewis Howes (of LinkedIn fame) and Amy Porterfield, who is the co-author of “Facebook Marketing All in One For Dummies” and in this video she show you how simple it is to harness the power of Facebook for your marketing needs.
With close to 1 Billion members on Facebook there is no question this is the best place online to get more leads, traffic, and sales.
Check out this video! If you’ve got it in your mind at all to utilize Facebook in 2012, then you need to see this!
Come back and tell me what you think!
Free targeted traffic from LinkedIn!
Ran across a wickedly good product from two marketers named Bertanddo and Aravindh. It shows you a very easy way to get highly targeted traffic from LinkedIn very quickly, with a time investment of anywhere from 5-30 minutes. The best part is, this can be an ongoing piece in your marketing puzzle, and a terrific way to access the power of LinkedIn’s some 120 million users easily and profitably.
This is a great way to help build your list, promote your product (or someone elses!) and get traffic quickly to an offline client that will have them amazed at your skills!
It’s very cheap, and though there is a one-time offer associated with The LinkedIN Traffic Loophole, unless you’re seeking to become a social media manager you likely won’t need it.
Check it out, and see if it won’t pump up your visitor count quicker and easier than you might’ve thought possible!
Stay tuned on Tuesday for your free alternative traffic sources report! Break free from the big G!
Best!

Long Copy vs. Short – Why and When
Image via Wikipedia
The first most asked question I get from newish bloggers is “what do I write about?” The second is “How long should it be?”
The second question is far easier to answer. Your copy needs to be as long as it takes to get the job done. Hemingway said that his books were as long as it took to tell the story and not one word more. Of course, this varies according to the topic you are writing about. Your main focus should be not on length, but rather on value. Give someone 1000 words of value and it won’t be nearly as tedious as 250 words of fluff!
There has been some talk and some empirical evidence that longer articles and blog posts tend to be better SEO-wise after all the ongoing Panda sightings. There is very likely some truth to this, but not for the reasons most think. Long copy tends to be more complete, filled with more market specific verbiage, and will usually generate more comment and discussion, things that Google is prizing and rewarding these days. Also they are more likely to be shared socially, and cited as authority posts.
For me, I tend to follow the Hemingway maxim, and write as much as the topic calls for. Everyone has a lot to do these days, and taking up space and time with unnecessary words can be off-putting. This doesn’t mean there isn’t a time and place to expound, even light-heartedly.
For complicated topics that require a lot of explanation, expect that you’ll be churning up the word count. For posts and articles that alert, point to other resources, and perhaps inspire, these may be a lot less.
Okay, with all that said, this post has come to an end, and not one word too soon!
