  1. Social media has its place in Internet marketing – no question about it – but it can be difficult and challenging to implement at times, especially in B2B environments. It’s much easier to use social media when conducting B2C campaigns, as this has been clearly shown time and time again. Selling and promoting vintage jeans on social media for B2C is much easier than selling accounting services for B2B on social media. Again, just remember that social media “can” be effective, it just depends on the environment one is in. Not every marketing tool or platform is designed for every company.

  2. I do a lot of video marketing wit YouTube and it really helps. Before making a video I do my research using the following 8 appeals.
    I hope this helps you with your research as to what to use in videos. It has been the way I have done my IM for years, so here goes:
    I have found that to find the correct niche for me, especially when I am looking to concentrating on just one category is to follow the following 8 appeals. You will do extra well if you do the same. Good luck :-))
    1. Companionship – think about dating sites, social networks and skype chats
    2. Acceptance and recognition – everyone likes to be accepted and recognized for something good or great that they have done, so I – think about awards, badges, kudos, celebrety status etc.
    3. Care and protection – think about insurance, security systems, mouth washes, eye washes etc.
    4. freedom – think about pain, discomfort, danger, no money, helplessness etc.
    5. enjoyment of consumption – think about food, eating, eating for pleasure, etc.
    6. live enjoyment – think about health, living longer, fitness, etc.
    7. winning superiority – think about competition, competing sport, earning more and having more than the neighbour etc,
    8. last but not least living well – think about holidays, travel, yachts, great cars, being with the family etc.
    If you keep to these 8 appeals you will find a great niche to start using your SEO and add good content by looking in ezinearticles for any of the appeals above etc.
    Good Luck to one and all, Den
