The press release is a tried-and-true method for generating sales. By creating a distributing press releases, you are able to reach a lot of influential people (the media) in one fell swoop. And the beauty of that is, when you distribute to a large number of media professionals all at once, you can almost be the distribution won't stop there. At least a few, and likely even more, of the recipients of your release will deem it appropriate to be passed on to someone else, who will likely do the same, and on and on. That increases your potential exposure dramatically, and all you did was distribute one release!

What that means for your business is some pretty serious exposure and in this business, exposure equals profits.

But there are very few that will offer you the kind of unlimited press release distribution services that you need to be truly successful with your marketing efforts.

Be the Go-To Source: Get More YouTube Views Fast!

By Staci Rae

YouTube. YouTube. What does that term mean to you? For millions of people around the world, the term "YouTube" triggers images of television bloopers, hidden-camera pranks and clips of great moments in sports. Am I close? I thought so. But YouTube is also a very powerful marketing tool, given the immense popularity of the site. Keep reading to find out how you can harness the power of YouTube to promote your business.

The length of the videos you upload is very important. Don't skimp on the length, but don't include so much information that your video is too long, either. The former strategy will discredit you and leave viewers thinking you don't know enough about your topic to include more information. The latter will leave your viewers feeling bogged down and they will likely not have or take the time to watch the entire thing. Strike a balance.

Figuring out the appropriate length of video to upload can be tricky but it is a critical step in the YouTube marketing process. Do what feels right, and then watch for feedback. Read your viewers' comments, track your click-through rate, and also take note of any decreases or stagnations in traffic to your site. All of these things are indicators for how effective your video is.

Another very effective way to ensure you get more YouTube views is to keep your content specialized. If you can establish yourself as THE go-to source for information on a certain topic or niche, you've got it made. If, on the other hand, your information is generic enough to be found from numerous sources, your viewership will be diluted.

All of this boils down to one thing: YouTube isn't just a place to view funny videos or historic speeches. It is a powerful marketing tool that can and ought to be utilized to its full marketing potential if you really want to carve out a spot for your business.

If you still aren't feeling confident about your ability to get more YouTube views on your own or if you simply don't have or want to take the time to do it, don't worry. You don't have to.

Social Marketing is the New Way to Do Business

By Bryce Smith

Social marketing doesn't follow the same sort of rules that previous marketing strategies once did, nor does it feel as formal as they used to. That's because the new social media is not all one-way, as the old advertising campaigns were. Social media today has opened up a conversation in which customers expect to be listened to and treated with respect. So any company hoping to promote itself on the various social media sites had better keep this in mind if they wish to succeed.

As a basic example, let's assume that a company's social media strategy is to put in place a Facebook Fan Page, a blog, and a Twitter profile. Facebook allows the company to post the latest news about services, but is also a place where it publishes notifications about events and surveys, and poses questions like, "Would you like this type of product?" or "How should we undertake this aim?" As individuals become fans of the company, their own friends are notified, and several follow them there. They connect with the company and with each other, and the page becomes a social marketing website with the fans frequently doing as much marketing as the company.

A blog, including the occasional video blog, allows the company to do reviews of its products or services, while other posts are written to discuss the general use of these products, or the trends in the industry. As long as there is ongoing valuable information here as well as self-promotional material, people will keep returning. If the company also sets up a Flickr photo site to showcase its products, then this social marketing tool could allow customers to send in their own photographs of these products as they are being used. These photos can be linked to in blog posts on Facebook or on Twitter.

Twitter provides a means of going beyond a mere social media campaign and engaging in genuine conversation. If the business's social media communicator sees questions about the company's products, how to use them, or other related things, then that person can reply to the specific people with answers. Twitter is a handy social marketing tool because it allows on-the-spot communication, and can be used to promote quick deals as well as linking to other sites. The point of all of these tools is to engage the company with the customers as real people, to their mutual benefit.

Social marketing on the major networking sites is going to involve a different sort of approach than the old advertising campaigns once did. These social networks are exactly what that phrase implies: a network of equals, conversing and relating to each other. Any business setting up shop on one of these sites will need to be prepared to draw customers into the process, talk to them, and even more important, listen to them. - 32606

Tips To Draw StumbleUpon Users Into Reading Your Post

By Nik Imran

If you have been using the Internet for some time, I'm sure you would have at least heard of StumbleUpon once. The site is one of the biggest social media on the net, along with Digg and Del.icio.us. But unlike Digg and Del.icio.us, it's very rare for StumbleUpon to be able to send tens of thousands of new visitors in a day. Though with that said, StumbleUpon is one the best way to bring in new visitors, especially for new sites. Do keep in mind however, that as the service describes itself as allowing you to 'channel-surf the internet', StumbleUpon users are notoriously fickle. They don't tend to stay in a site for long (usually within a few seconds).

The service describes itself as allowing you to 'channel-surf the internet' and I think it's a very appropriate description. Users flick through websites like you might flick through channels, often making a decision on whether to stay or leave your site before it has even had time to finish loading. In this post, I want to suggest some quick tips you can use to draw StumbleUpon users into your site before they stumble away.

1. Make your blog's core mission-statement unmissable - A core mission-statement as I define it is a one or two sentence description encapsulating what your blog has to offer. A good core mission-statement describes the kind of content you provide and broadly what your blog is about. It should communicate a lot of information in only a few words. If a stumbler can see straight away your blog is about something they're interested in then they're likely to stick around.

2. Insert powerful visual cues - When channel-surfing the decision to stick with a channel or move on is often largely determined by visual cues. Even with the sound off you can tell a drama from a news program, a travel show from a cartoon, because visual elements provide clues as to what kind of show you're watching. The same principle applies to blogs. If your blog's header contains an image of a pile of cash, we can reasonably assume the blog is about money (or making it). That's a lot of information communicated instantly by a single image.

3. Place important information above the fold - As StumbleUpon users does not spend long on a site, they are not likely to scroll down for more information on your site. Therefore, I recommend placing key information regarding your sites above the fold.

To place important information above the fold, you can use your blog's sidebar, header area, navigation menu and the post area to showcase your content. By doing so, it makes it easier for both your search engine visitors and StumbleUpon visitors to learn if they should stick around.

4. Get a unique design - To be precise, get a professional design. More often than not, internet surfers are hastier with aesthetic judgments. A professional looking blog encourages a stumbler to stick around and check whether the content is great, as well.

In the beginning of my blogging career, I make full use of Twitter and StumbleUpon in driving traffic to my site. Getting hundreds of unique visitors is easy with StumbleUpon. Make sure to give it a try. - 32606

By Staci Rae

In terms of web 2.0, YouTube is really the uncontested leader. The fact that Google bought over YouTube is a testament to this fact, as YouTube is now the number one video-sharing site on the Internet and it is also the frontrunner among web 2.0 sites.

But don't just slap together any old video that spews out facts like a shopping list. You still have to create the kind of content that will engage your viewers in some way. Whether you aim to educate, inform or simply to entertain, the goal is to create something that will keep your viewers interested long enough for you to convey your message.

Standing out in a sea of YouTube videos isn't easy, but if you are going to get more YouTube views it's a necessity to make your mark. Try narrowing your area of focus, so that people searching for your kind of content can virtually only find the information they need by watching your video. Don't create the same kind of content everyone else is creating. Be original!

As a web 2.0 site, YouTube is very community driven. Getting involved in the YouTube community is a great way to get yourself noticed and drive traffic to your content, too. Comment on other people's videos or even upload video responses. Create and inspire conversations. Before long, you'll start to see that your videos are getting more views than ever before.
