Twitter Tools are starting to dominate the social media marketing landscape

2009-09-15T08:14:00-07:00

Twitter tools are all over the place, but the terms of service of the Twitter API's may put some out of business. Even with that Twitter tools are a huge part of social media marketing. A great place to read news on new Twitter Apps can be found at Mashable.com

Are 'selling' and social media incompatible?

2009-07-07T18:36:36-07:00

I read a terrific post about social media revenue at the Anthill Online LinkedIn group today.
http://tinyurl.com/nxm992
In it, Kim Wingerei said:
"....trying to sell stuff on social media sites is not just difficult, but it may even be contrary to the very purpose of what social media is about:
sharing and interaction between like-minded people".

This reminded me of the goldrush analogy:
where the people who made the money were the Chinese, by selling shovels etc to the hapless gold diggers.
So how does this relate to making money from social media?
If it's hard for a Twitter or a Facebook to monetize their core activities because people don't want them to change, maybe the answer is to monetize their non-core activities.

Take a superior video navigation tool, for instance............
letting users navigate video with more precision than clicking on page after page of thumbnails.....
a web service they can access as a gadget, where advertising appears alongside their search results.
Would they accept these ads in return for enhancements like this?
My bet is 'yes'.
Tools like this are a step beyond the fun-oriented Facebook apps we see so many of today.
But social networks that allow tools of high utility to integrate and share revenue stand to deal themselves into the 'Chinese at the gold rush' story.
What other tools are candidates to play this kind of role in monetizing social media?

De-sensitization and the startup

2009-06-23T17:22:16-07:00

Just saw an interesting interview that Andrew Warner of Mixergy.com did with James Hong, founder of hotornot.com.
http://mixergy.com/the-woman-who-paid-me-1-million-in-affiliate-revenue-teaches-you-about-affiliate-programs-with-lisa-riolo/

Hot or Not is a dating site that started in 2000.
James says Hot or Not was pretty 'edgy' at first, with many people wondering 'is it porn'?
So for a while, it was too edgy for the big public companies to copy.
Eventually, AOL came out with 'Rate a Buddy'.
But by this time, Hot or Not was such a common concept that the world had become 'de-sensitized' to it.

This reminded me of a great blog post that talked about why Blink.com (a precursor to del.icio.us) failed, despite securing many millions in funding. http://www.aripaparo.com/archive/001456.html

One of the reasons was that back then in '99, Blink had a public catalog of tags, and people were sensitive about what information they put on the web for all to see.
But a couple of years later, the "N-sync/spears/Pokemon/Potter generation had come of age online and readily adopted privacy-free collaboration because they'd learned that everyone thinks alike, so there's nothing to hide".
Enter deli.cio.us.

So we became de-sensitized to privacy concerns, and we became de-sensitized to the 'edginess' of dating sites.
Sounds a lot like how we've become de-sensitized to violence and language in films and television over the decades, going back to Clark Gable's famous line in Gone with the Wind that mentioned the word 'damn' in a Hollywood movie for the first time.

The other interesting thing about James Hong's interview is that he said they thought Hot or Not's competitors would fall into one of 2 classes......
they'd either be big guys like AOL or guys like them...startups that would be relying on the same growth methods........word of mouth and press.

So for the first 6 months, all he did was get as many articles written about Hot or Not as he could.
In this way, he effectively froze his copy-cat competitors out of press coverage (on the safe assumption that the press wouldn't be interested in writing the same story twice: writing about a copycat once they'd written about the original).

So there's a couple of interesting lessons for startups here:
1. if you've got something 'edgy', or something that can be MADE to be edgy, freeze out the big gorilla competitors by exploiting the window after your launch before the market becomes "de-sensitized"
2. get as much press coverage as you can to freeze out your start-up, copycat competitors.

Spreading Message Of Economic Recovery Globally

2008-10-07T10:06:14-07:00

Amazon is making it easier for you to prosper during time of Global Economic Crisis. You can shop smarter and save more on the Internet; open your your own Web Store without having to spend any money on stocking your store. Simply Click Here now for seeing options that are available to you.

Looking at The Great Divide between wealth and poverty, one
could be excused for feeling powerless to change things. This
one thing is clear: the practice of addressing poverty by giving
more free food, only prolongs the chronic history of the poor
depending on others to respond to emergency appeal for
preventing their starvation.

Here is a Lay-Christian who is boldly calling for radical approach
to the issue of Chronic Economic Crisis around the world. As a
matter of fact, I am emphatically saying that it is good business
practice to teach people around the world to see One Wise And
Rich Creator Who is entrusting His wealth to their care.

Furthermore, I am maintaining that the "Possessor of heaven and
earth" has never blessed anyone with the bondage of abject poverty.
Nor has He sentenced the poor of the earth to an existence of
"Blissful ignorance." But history has shown that coded dogmas are
contributing to prolonged conditions of Chronic Economic Crisis
among the poor. This helps to prove their interpretation of the
Bible that God has given them the exclusive role managing wealth.

When you take a close look at coded dogmas that are keeping so
many people in abject poverty, you will find some common traits.
Among them is an unwillingness to acknowledge One All-Wise And
Rich Creator Who is commanding all people to wisely manage His
Wealth. There is also a pride that boasts of heritage and gene to
secure position of power and control.

Consequently, there is an unwillingness to see One All-Wise And
Rich Creator Who is extending a second chance to all who accept
His Supreme Power Over Creation. This will ensure that the poor
look beyond handouts from a privileged few. Instead, they will
freely receive the wisdom by which God created the earth to fill
them with thoughts of prosperity; desires to become high achievers;
the resolve to take responsibility for having a drive for Upward
Mobility, and so on.

Gone will be the practice of feeling guilty for desiring to have
wealth. Gone, too, will be the idea that Chronic Economic Crisis
is a badge of blessings from God. Instead, people around the
world will want to demonstrate faithfulness to The All-Wise And
Rich Creator by becoming prosperous. This will give them the
prospect of receiving commendation from the Lord for being
"Good and faithful servant."

Let us together seek to do business on the Internet that allows
for others around the world to become business minded. Let us
also together seek to go beyond coded dogmas that are denying
millions the opportunity for recovering from Chronic Economic
Crisis. When we do this properly, we are making it easier for
expanding our business globally.

Communicating Knowledge To The Total Person Globally

2008-07-16T13:03:20-07:00

As A Prosperous Affiliate Of Amazon, it is easier for you to Spread Knowledge Globally. Simply Click Here Now and discover how you can acquire wealth for Spreading Knowledge Around The World.

These postings at this blog by David Johnson, take it as a given
that knowledge is the foundation on which individuals and nations
prosper; attain greatness; pursue excellence and experience
wholeness. You might agree that for the most part, people around
the world, are showing lack of a quality of knowledge that is showing
that they have likeness to The God Of Measureless Knowledge.

Furthermore, these postings are taking the position that where
there is evidence that people are not demonstrating that they
have connection to The All-Wise God, there is a solution to this
problem. In short, knowledge needs to be communicated in such a
way, even uneducated people receive practical, measurable and
observable benefits.

Since there is One Supreme Source Of Knowledge; and since all
people owe all that they are and have to The All-Wise Creator;
and since it is a given that there is no knowledge that is beyond
this All-Knowing Creator God; and since He is Sufficient for the
needs of mind, body, soul and spirit, it has to be that religious
leaders are not wisely and faithfully communicating The God Of
Knowledge to people globally.

Moreover, since The-Powers-That-Be in churches are not using
the Internet for bringing solutions to the lack of knowledge
among the poor globally, yours truly is functioning as An Agent
For Change. As I am seeing it, a voice must be raised for
applying the Internet as A Global Classroom. Privileged Church
Leaders must be called upon to communicate knowledge that will
bring renewal of the mind; articulate knowledge that will equip
and empower people around the world to connect their five senses
to The God Of Manifest Knowledge.

Evidences of God's Beneficial And Impartial Knowledge are seen
in how "Rain and sunshine," "Seedtime and harvest," come to
people everywhere. When the poor are taught to link their five
senses to God's Knowledge, they will be seen doing things that
correct conditions of poverty and "Blissful ignorance."

Here and now, rather than "When we all get to heaven," the five
senses will be applied for managing the earth. Knowledge will be
applied for demonstrating likeness to The God Of Wisdom. Also,
all people will be taught to take responsibility for becoming
wise, prosperous and Invincible Agents Of Goodness.

Yes! Communicating Knowledge To The Total Person, around the
world, will ensure that all people apply and measure knowledge
by how it equips others to participate in managing the earth.
You can therefore see yourself doing what is your power for
causing millions globally to link their senses to The God Of
Practical And Beneficial Knowledge.

Recognizing One Supreme Source Of Knowledge

2008-07-07T09:21:06-07:00

You Better Believe It! Having Prosperity will put you in a better position for seeing others Recognizing One Supreme Source Of Knowledge. Let Amazon place you in The Financial Position for speaking with authority, boldness and clarity. Click Here Now to see how it will work for you.

Here are two other sites for leveraging your opportunities for earning more income! Push Button Extreme ( http://viralurl.com/DavidJohnson/PushButtonXtreme ) and Pre-Building Income site:

One hears reports of the destructive and observable effects of
lack of knowledge among the poor of the earth. One then finds
questions raised in the mind on why these conditions continue
year after year. One also wonders why these people are not
hearing of God's provisions for His Infinite Knowledge to function
in and through their five senses.

Is there a source of knowledge that is kept back from the poor
of the earth? Do some find satisfaction in knowing that many
remain victims of "Blissful ignorance"? Why are the poor of the
earth not hearing how there is One Supreme Source Of Knowledge
that is available to people everywhere?

Furthermore, one wonders why the poor of the earth are not
taught how The God Of Creation applied His Knowledge in ways
that are beneficial to all. Without partiality, The All-Wise God
places abundant and precious minerals in the earth for the good
of mankind everywhere. He then gives all of us the command to
apply knowledge for managing these Abundant Resources He has
bountifully supplied.

Since lack of knowledge is destroying so many people; and since
knowledge is crucial for correcting conditions of ignorance and
abject poverty, the time has come to re-visit and call into question
what rich Christians are not telling the poor of the earth about
God's Knowledge, Riches And Power. Questions must be raised
about interpretations of the Bible that are mot motivating the
poor to benefit from observable, measurable and practical
evidences of God's Knowledge in creation.

Moreover, questions must be raised about the reluctance of rich
Christians to apply the Internet for spreading Knowledge Of
God's Abundant Provisions for mankind everywhere. Questions
should also be raised about motives for not informing, equipping
and motivating all Christians to participate in The Increase Of
Knowledge.

We need to see informed and skilled Christians using the World
Wide Web for spreading knowledge of The All-Wise Creator Who
richly provides for our total needs impartially. Mind, body, soul
and spirit should be benefiting, here and now, from God's
Boundless Knowledge.

promotion today and is the way to promote your website and link that produces

real results almost immediately. . Anyone with a web presence, ie,, a web

site, seriously needs to consider article marketing as one of their core

website promotion techniques. A recent study revealed that 80% of the

visitors to websites come from a search engine site. So if you're concerned

about the return on the investment you made in your website then you need to
