We had a great turnout for our Facebook webinar at Talk this week. My initial concern was that I ended up packing it with too much information, but not in a good way. You know, like when you are making a PB&J but you add too much J and it spills over onto your hands [...]
Normally I write a few posts over the weekend, but this weekend I got a little behind because Stacy and I were having too much fun getting our [much belated] engagement photos taken for our wedding in March. We don’t have them all up yet, as we’re waiting for them to be developed, but our [...]
I did some more digging after my recent post discussing a kind of facebook optimization to improve chances of showing up in the News Feed (FB’s biggest viral point) and came upon a great post on Shoemoney. The post on Shoemoney is only looking at Pages, but brings to light 2 very interesting points that [...]
It means your online marketing is no longer just about what you post, it’s about when you post it. And it means that search engine optimization and making sure you can be found online will become even more important. Those two sentences above may seem simple and may not mean much to you know, but [...]
I spent a good couple of hours today really delving into the depths of Facebook Pages today and how to really optimize them. Not like the lame guides on “facebook optimization” that entails changing your landing page for the 40th time or making sure you have all your info filled out. I’m talking about how [...]
I am back from onething Raleigh. It was an awesome conference. I love observing how organizations operate and how God operates. Also had a blast meeting up with some friends in Raleigh. Some good times were had by all! More posts coming soon… I seem to have misplaced my list of topics to write about [...]
It will be all quiet on the eastern front tonight and this weekend, probably through Monday. I will be heading up to Raleigh for the onething09 conference that’s taking place there over the weekend. If anyone else is going to be up there, let’s meet up! Just tweet me @NathanSnell.
Anytime there is an algorithm in place, there is a system to be gamed. If this weren’t true, search engine optimization wouldn’t exist, and neither would a digg top-list, or most other internet marketing tactics for that matter. That’s why when Facebook first introduced its Highlights section I got very excited. The Highlights section meant [...]
I wish I saw bands using online video more. I think bands should start live streaming their practices and jam sessions. It breaks down the walls and lets their fans in the door. Or charge for live stream access to certain “private” jam sessions. Bands are already experimenting with live streaming concerts, but that’s not intimate. [...]
I’ve read frequently, and have experienced through my own attempts, that Facebook Ads just don’t function the same way AdWords does. But I think it’s way too early to write Facebook off as not being able to deliver successful ads. In fact, the more I think about it, the more I think Facebook Ads could [...]
