Think Video in 2009!  Google has built huge server farms all over the world and video has taken over as a viral content distribution method.  There is no better way to get links and subscriptions, resulting in search placement and traffic, than to blog a combination of text, video, and if possible, profiles with bookmarks and favorites.

The Social Media Marketing plan for 2009 must include:

  • Syndicated RSS feeds
  • Video and other graphic content
  • Profiles on major highly traveled sites (My Space, Digg, Facebook etc.)
  • Opt-in subscriptions, groups, feeds, email – mybloglog.com is a good place to start building an affinity group
  • User-generated, user filtered content – the amount of content needed to rank now is more than you will consistently generate on your own – and you must have an automated way for the content producers, contributors to police themselves with user-ratings
  • Social Bookmarking (you must stumbleupon.com your content, bookmark with delicious, netscape.com, etc.)
  • You must ping the world and tell them when there is new content to keep the robots crawling your site more and more regularly
  • All these things must be optimized properly

If you think that our bundled sevices price ($489.00 down, $379.00 per month) seems high, consider the budget without us: heck go get a few bids on this list!

  1. Correct, this is less than 10% of what a reasonable advertising effort costs, whether it is print, radio, television, direct mail..

    You are also correct about ROI, a good, well planned, properly executed online marketing campaign should return ten times as much in gross revenues initially, and eventually become an ongoing flow of business – ofter the website has more value that the original business in the long run ;-)
