Onion Ring More Popular Than Justin Bieber in Latest Facebook Meme - Mon, 08 Feb 2010
Forget doppelgangers and Urban Dictionary definitions, the newest Facebook meme is, undoubtedly, “Can this [Insert random thing] Get More Fans Than [Insert Famous Person]?” The latest victim? Pop singer Justin Bieber, who is apparently much beloved with the young folks (and their mothers). The victor? An onion ring.
The fried food thoroughly trounced the Canadian pop star on February 6, according to the fan page, which was created by Facebook user Toby Brittan.
Bieber Fan Count: 1,648,758 fans
Onion Ring Fan Count: 2,152,536 fans
Brittan founded the page on February 1, and according to The Independent, the 16-year-old — who is the son of British businesswoman Sharon Brittan — has even been approached by advertisers wanting to strike up some business on the page.
Similar pages and spin-offs are already in abundance. In fact, the onion ring soon went on to beat out Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Despite these political aspirations, the meme mostly targets pop culture figures such as Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers, as well as the Twilight films. The challengers? Everything from purple monsters to sausage rolls. My personal favorite? “Can This Pickle Get More Fans Than Nickleback [sic]?” The answer? Dear God, I hope so.

5 Levels of Effective Communication in the Social Media Age - Mon, 08 Feb 2010
Soren Gordhamer is the organizer of the Wisdom 2.0 Conference, which brings together staff from Google, Facebook, and Twitter with others to explore living wisely in our modern age. Mashable readers can use code ‘Mashable‘ for a discount when registering.
In the era of social media, our networks are much larger than they have ever been, and we have more ways to communicate with those in them. Even if you are not very active on Facebook or Twitter, my guess is that your sphere of communication has expanded significantly in recent years. Who you communicate with and how you communicate has changed radically. This new connected era brings both opportunities and challenges.
In the past we had a set of contacts, all of whom generally knew how to reach us — via phone, e-mail, or regular mail. Today, thanks in large part to social media, we have many different levels of communication, each with a specific purpose and etiquette. When we do not understand the role of these levels, they can become huge time wasters. When we do understand them however, they can help us more effectively engage and navigate these new waters.
Level 1: The Public Reply
Just about everyone, including Bill Gates (who if you have not heard, recently joined Twitter), has learned the importance of having both a means to communicate with people, and a channel where people can respond. Though you can do this on Facebook through comments on Fan pages and in groups, this seems most applicable to Twitter, where people use @replies to send and receive short, publicly viewable messages.
The public reply provides an open and transparent channel for people to interact with public figures, brands, and each other, without the pressure of response that comes with e-mail. Public interactions are a great starting point for engagement that never existed before social media, and if done correctly, can often lead to more fruitful direct communication.
Level 2: The Direct Message
Once a relationship is established through public communication, the next step is often a direct message within a social network. A direct message creates a private connection without opening the floodgates of e-mail. In fact, in may even be preferable to e-mail in the long term.
Why? Especially with Twitter, a DM has a character limit, and can only come from people you follow. If you have ten e-mails (of unlimited length and possibly unknown sources) and ten Twitter DMs, which are you likely to open first? For an increasing number of people, the answer is DM.
Once you make a connection through DM and get permission to follow-up via e-mail, the e-mail is often better received. Facebook, where most people allow private messages, can also be a means to take communication to the next level.
Level 3: E-mail
E-mail still has its place in this new era. It allows for more in-depth communication, can be easily forwarded, and sent to numerous people at once. When e-mail is used skillfully, it enables deeper communication. When not used effectively, it can become a huge time drain, as people write lengthy messages without much thought of the time and attention they are asking of recipients.
This fine line makes e-mail tough to master in the social media age. If you’re looking to advance to the next communication level with someone, respect this direct and private channel, and be sure to keep your e-mails succinct and meaningful.
Level 4: Phone
Hearing someone’s voice allows people to get a better sense of one another. While communicating via text, a person can take time to carefully craft his or her words, potentially presenting an image that may not be true or is harder to trust. A phone call allows for more immediate back-and-forth, and can be particularly helpful if a subject matter is delicate or people are considering a more in-depth relationship.
Some time back I was communicating with an editor about an issue that we had bounced back and forth several times. Finally she said, “Let’s chat about it on the phone.†This furthered the dialogue significantly and bypassed what may have taken weeks to sort out via e-mail.
Level 5: In-Person (or Video Chat)
I have met numerous people in person that I first communicated with via social networks. All of these meetings were enhanced by the natural progression of our first digital communication. While at one time face-to-face interactions were the entry point, today, in-person meetings often come at later stages.
Particularly if people are considering working on a project together, an in-person meeting allows for the most in-depth connection. For some people Skype or other video chat may be enough to experience this.
Too often people think communication is only through words, but our bodies communicate as well. They communicate how comfortable or uncomfortable we are discussing a matter, our level of passion for a subject, and our hopes and fears. Meeting with someone in person allows for communication to occur on multiple levels, and people often come away with a much better sense of each other.
Conclusion
In this era of social media when we are reaching out and engaging more and more people, the question is not just “Should I communicate with someone?†but “How should I communicate with someone? How can I build engagement one step at a time?†The more we allow for and understand the importance of all the various levels of communication, the more we can skillfully and effectively use each one.

Two Good Ideas On How To Make Money With Google - Tue, 09 Feb 2010Author : C Mark Babcock
This article will give you 2 very good ideas on how to make money with google Google has Google AdSense and AdWords as marketing strategies that have become a way to benefit to both the advertiser and the website owner
These programs offer great potential to increase the income you can make from your blog or website
However it is necessary for you to understand how both of these programs work before you can effectively determine which of them is best for you and how much money you might be able to make from them
Google AdSense is a marketing program that places ads that are relative to the theme of your site on it The benefit you get from these ads being place on your site is that you can earn income when people click on the ads and make purchases because they found the ads on your site
You must sign up for Google AdSense as an affiliate member You do this by filling out the required application Specific information is needed that will help in determining what kinds of ads will be placed on your website
You'll need to state whether it's a personal or business site and what country you live in You also are able to select the Google products you're interested in Once you've finished filling out other required information the application will be submitted
When your application is approved Google will send you a block of HTML code that will enable you get AdSense set up and able to be tracked on your site
Another idea on how to make money with Google is with Google AdWords This is a little unique in that it's a marketing program for the sellers What this does is help to make your online presence stronger
There is a minimal cost to get started but is only five dollars Then as targeted traffic finds their way to the advertisements (which are promoting your product or service) you are charged so much per click
The price is determined by how much you decide to pay When targeting a particular niche or website for example you will pay approximately 25 cents per 1000 impressions
You must be careful with this type of advertising If you get thousands of clicks but very few sales you can end up paying out a lot of money with very little income This happens because people are just checking out what you have to offer but not buying
AdWords can provide you with tools to aid you in developing your ad campaign that will help create a very targeted and effective program This should give you a much better chance of increasing your sales per click ratio

SEO Outsourcing Highly Affordable - Tue, 09 Feb 2010Author : Martin Sejas
SEO Outsourcing would net you much in terms of savings Doing SEO work yourself could lead to deeply disappointing results and a great waste of time and effort Hiring an in-house SEO personnel or team would most likely mean spending a lot more than doing SEO Outsourcing
An effective way of getting a business done at lower cost, is through outsourcing SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is becoming increasingly important for those who do business and use internet as a marketing tool SEO is the process of getting your site in as a high rank as possible in search engine results pages, with the goal of reaching number 1 of page 1 of the results pages It has almost become indispensable for the companies to incorporate SEO into their marketing strategies Search engines tend to tinker with their search algorithms every once in a while and apply some changes, which means SEO calls for constant learning and great adaptability When compared to an in-house SEO, a SEO firm is more likely to be aware of the changes to the search engine protocols
Advertising is the key to a successful business, if people cannot find you right away your chances of expanding and growing are minimal With the great effort put into your business, it would be difficult to have to attend to SEO while attending to all other demands of your business Outsourcing provides the means to free up your cash and gives your employees time to spend on other tasks Being updated with everything that's going on in the internet that is related to SEO, is a job that is most vigilantly carried out by SEO specialists and professionals
Businesses that have invested in SEO for their online presence, have gained much in return because of this Offshore providers have significantly cheaper labor costs allowing for more labor at a cheaper price This way, there is more efficient production with labor leading to quicker and more work done, thereby leading to faster achievement of business goals and all at a cheaper price A successful SEO campaign empowers a brand, brings more visibility on the internet and more customers and hopefully booming sales
Google and other search engines reward original content, if your content is unique enough, you stand a greater chance of hitting the top spots on search engines If your content is not, your web site can languish on page 784,562 Very few people have the kind of expertise used in determining which key words, and phrases will be noticed by the web crawlers SEO Outsourcing can produce the content that search engines are looking for at the price you are looking for This benefits everyone
Given all the reasons I have just pointed out, it is greatly more advisable to do SEO Outsourcing than to hire in-house SEO for all the savings to be made and the same reliability to expect Be seen on the internet! Through SEO Outsourcing, you could make your website top ranked for a keyword or keyword phrase most relevant for your site and the services or products you offer

Lead Capture Page Use One To Take Your Business Much Higher - Tue, 09 Feb 2010Author : Rick Trujillo
A professiona internet marketer recently said because of his lead capture page he is able to average $1 per month per subscriber in income That may not seem like much until you realize that he has over 20000 subscribers!
The lesson here is if your goal is to build a long term profitable and residual internet business than having a lead capture page is absolutely necessary
Once you learn how to effectively use this all important page you too can be one of those earning thousands from your thousands of subscribers
As you navigate your way around the internet looking at various websites take a good look at all the lead capture pages (also known as "landing page") you see They basically have three components: an eye catching title; some type of visual (picture or video) relevant to your business or company's product or service; and the all important opt in box
Your targeted audience will help determine how you advertise your lead capture page The eye catching heading must be one that appeals to the interest of those you're trying to entice
Too often headings on landing pages are generic or have a hidden meaning that only a few understand which can actually confuse the average visitor to your site Be sure when someone lands on your page they easily know what it is you are selling
To stand out from other landing pages of similar content the visual you apply to your page is very important An attention getting video is ideal Keep it short but effective If not a video the use of a colorful and detailed picture can also have a lasting effect
I recently came across a website title that had something to do with cars When I landed on the lead capture page I immediately saw a great colorful picture of 3 old restored Fords parked in a garage It had a very vintage look to it I instantly had a clear idea what the site was promoting
That's what you want to accomplish with your landing page Instant recognition But that's only the beginning The most important part is the opt in box This is where you will get visitors to subscribe or sign up You capture their information including their name and email address
To do this you generally have to offer something of interest to them such as a free report or free membership to something if they fill out the online form Once you have this information it's as if you have struck gold
By utilizing an auto responder you can now follow up with them consistently with informative material and product promotions This is important because most people don't make a decision to buy something until the fifth of sixth contact

Ways To Make Money With Viral Marketing Software - Tue, 09 Feb 2010Author : Liz Tomey
Viral marketing is nothing new It has been around for a very long time, and recently it has taken many different forms For instance in the beginning a viral marketing strategy could have been a song or a video We could look at the marketing campaign that Wendy's did a few years ago They claimed that everyone had a 'ranch tooth', and to prove it they had a giant tooth yelling "Ranch" at people I dare you not to think of that sandwich every time you hear the word ranch now
That's what viral marketing is all about! It's about spreading your influence to the people, but rather than forcing yourself on them, make them want more, and more, and more But don't think that viral marketing is easy Chances are that your first attempts are not going to work very well because the entire thing is nothing but trial and error You will have to make several attempts before you learn what your customers like, but in the end it will be quite worth it
By using viral marketing software you can actually make quite a bit of money What you want to do is look for a company or individual that is creating viral marketing software for business owners to use in their endeavors You can take advantage of this, but how can it make you money? Let's find out!
Let's say you offer your customers some sort of downloadable product, but you don't charge them for it How does this make you money exactly? Well in the short run you probably won't be making any money from this endeavor, you can expect long term returns so long as you have done everything right
For instance, you need to make sure your business name is on the product, because by doing this you will provide your customers with a quality app that they can use in their everyday life, and it will have your name on it! Now imagine that your customer finds this application useful and gives it to someone else Then that person also finds it to be useful and passes it on It keeps going and moving until hundreds of people have it
At some point at least a few of those people are going to wonder if you have anything else to offer at your website, so they come take a look If they like your freeware product, or viral marketing software, then chances are they are going to like what you have for sale Through this you will more than likely be able to transform traffic into sales, thereby making money using viral marketing software, which is a great way of earning a profit!
