How do you beat the downgrading of organic (i.e. unpaid) search on Facebook and other platforms. Tried influencer marketing

Influencer marketing is the current hot topic in marketing circles, and it’s not hard to see why. 51% of marketers believe that incorporating influencers into their marketing helps them reach customers. Those who do it well earn an average of$6.85 in media value for every dollar they spend. And the top 13% earn $20 or more.

An excellent piece this, which includes a link to a very helpful and highly entertaining e-book by leading thinker and all round nice guy Brian Solis and illustrated by the inimitable Hugh MacLeod. 

Darren Rowse

Live streaming video is the go right now - especially Facebook Live and Periscope. I've been holding back a bit but know I have to get into it sooner rather than later. My intention is to try Facebook Live first (for marketing purposes there are different arrangements for Facebook Live and Periscope, with different strategies being developed by the early adopters).

I was held back by an uncooperative (but new) Galaxy S7 phone, a problem solved when I updated the Facebook app software - no excuse now! 

In this post, Darren "Problogger" Rowse, who is a masterful teacher, walks us through what is involved in getting set up and moving forward with FB Live.

He says:

Today I want to get practical and give you some tips on how to create the best Facebook Live Videos you can.

These come my own experiences of creating live videos as well as what I’ve picked up from others. 


​​​​​​​Is Snapchat Growing or Dying?  Von Chucwuemeca


Snapchat hot or not for marketers?

I'm tantalized by this. 

Snapchat has grown faster than any other social network. Every day, around 100 million user share and consume content through Snapchat. To marketers, this should scream of opportunity. However, Snapchat doesn’t use this opportunity in a way that is useful to advertisers.

Snapchat has the potential to generate ad revenue that rivals Facebook, but it’s current strategies point to a decline into worthlessness.


Do you have a view about Snapchat's future? Let me know - deswalsh@webartsco.com
