Social Media Training and Social Media Consulting Advice: Don't Hide Online

Posted on: May 18, 2012 by admin

By Mason Duchatschek Buildatribe.com - Social Media Consulting of St. Louis I heard a silly reason recently about why a company was afraid to get into social media marketing and Internet marketing. They readily admitted to being "chicken" when it came to the idea of using things like YouTube marketing, Twitter marketing, Facebook marketing, and mobile marketing.  They refused to consider the advice of any social media consultants, social media strategists or social media agencies who encouraged them to move forward in that direction. Wonder why?  They were afraid that a few chronic "complainers" would talk bad about them online and lots of people would see it. Why is that excuse a laughing matter? It's because they didn't realize that people can talk bad about them online anyway! And, are probably doing already.  Unfortunately, they aren’t actively engaged...

By Mischa Truong-Tran Buildatribe.com - Social Media Consultants of St. Louis, MO   Two frequent questions among businesses who want to use Facebook in their social media marketing campaigns are related to how often they should post and when.  The right answers are dependent on the needs of their businesses and the type of fans they want for their business page.    When trying to determine the ideal frequency of posts, it may be useful to experiment a little to come up with a  social media strategy that works best for your niche.  After all, you know your customers better than anyone else, and you know who you want as your fans.

Video Marketing, Viral Marketing and Social Media For Business

By Mischa Truong-Tran Social Media Expert / Social Media Strategist - St. Louis, MO   Do you recall what it was like to be a music fan before the arrival of music videos?  If you grew up after MTV was launched or can't recall what it was like when all they did was play music videos, then I challenge you to imagine what it was like for those of us who are a bit older. We had few choices available.  We had the option to purchase a band’s record, hear their songs on the radio or read what others said about them in magazines.  If we were fortunate, our favorite band might come play a concert close by every once in awhile.  Video changed everything. Today, we have the opportunity to view band interviews, viral marketing videos and concert footage and all we have to do...

Posted on: October 11, 2011 by admin

By Mason Duchatschek St. Louis Social Media, Email Marketing & Online Marketing Expert   What is the main goal of your Internet site? What are you trying accomplish?  What is your objective?  Have you put much thought into it? If not, you should.   I’m visiting with individuals every day about things like social media marketing, online marketing, video marketing, email marketing and even text message marketing.  It’s enjoyable and exciting.  I appreciate specific questions about YouTube marketing, Facebook Marketing and Twitter marketing too.   What I’m amazed by is the number of individuals who can’t answer some very basic and simple questions.  What is the purpose of your website?  I get answers like “I just need to be on the web” or “I need to have a place that tells people about my company” all the time.   If you think the conversation should be focused on how pretty your site is and what...
