Re social media: The points made are all good. As Ed Dale would say (after his late conversion) Facebook is really only for networking with your irl friends, but Twitter… well, I don’t know. It’s like joining in a great bit World conversation. Especially when something is happening, like the Iran election protests, the British Election or anything that interests a lot of people.

I can really resonate with Mari’s outlook on Social Media.

micaljohnson July 24, 2010 at 11:48 am

what Mari said about finding a balance really struck a cord with me. There are several levels of social media management. Some you can outsource some you shouldn’t. As a SMM myself I think finding the level of involvement you are comfortable with is key for your success. The more personal your brand the more engagement you need to be involved with.

When you take the time to learn to use social media it will pay big dividend for you later as you grow your reputation online.

Travis… As always great content… you are truly the BEST.Amazing video love what you are doing, great interview and as always Mari is wonderful…
You are both so GORGEOUS :)
I dont think that people realize that you CAN make incredible money in social media,but there are no short cuts, its always about building powerful relationships,+ give powerful content., and not only focusing on making money…There are no short cuts when it comes to building trust to get people to buy from you

@elsbc (wiping off your throw up)… It is what you want it to be Eric. I don’t want to be in bondage any more than the next person, and that’s the idea behind this video, how are leaders in SM succeeding with it? Find the balance for your business, but be there if for no other reason than branding.

Thanks for chiming in,
Travis

@GreyStormMedia Agreed. Customer service is the #1 marketing tool a company has to customers.

@Orcidea Greetings to you my friend in Finland! Glad to hear of your leadership there.

Keep it real,

marketingprofessor July 24, 2010 at 2:06 pm

@SIRTONY On it (the best I can)… That’s the challenge with spur of the moment stuff, which I’m guilty of from time to time.

@WCBusinessCoach Thanks for mentioning that. We need to be realistic what a given online property (other than our own) can offer to our business.

Travis

marketingprofessor July 24, 2010 at 3:18 pm

@Coolwater102 Agree with you there. Brand building is the best asset of social media. Sales and SEO results are a bonus.

marketingprofessor July 24, 2010 at 4:01 pm

@brianinski Wow. Awesome feedback. Was the best I had at the moment. Will try harder to avoid shearing and all the other gunk… :-) Work in progress.

Thanks again,
Travis

@LindaLHartford Linda, thank you for taking the time. All the best.

@Onlinemediadirect There will always be another version coming, right? I think if you see it making sense for your workstyle, do it sooner than later.

marketingprofessor July 24, 2010 at 5:34 pm

@millionairesworldbiz Thanks.

marketingprofessor July 24, 2010 at 6:34 pm

@visualeyemedia Thanks for your candid yet kind feedback. I will consider your points. Glad you found value in what was discussed.

I really enjoyed the interview and conversation. Great natural flow, and you did asked good questions. If I could offer some constructive advice… the annotations were a little distracting and didn’t add value to the content for me. This was my first time ever seeing your video so I had no idea that you may have worn a pocket protector in the past… Maybe you could use the annotations to add tips that you couldn’t fit in the interview. Just my two cents.

Again, great job.

KNOWYOUNOW July 24, 2010 at 7:39 pm

Great video.

Onlinemediadirect July 24, 2010 at 8:03 pm

I am considering getting an ipad as an alternative to a new laptop I am based in the UK and what worries me is all the talk of a new upgraded version on the way with a camera and new functions ?

millionairesworldbiz July 24, 2010 at 8:36 pm

Very Well Presented Interview

I love my iPad!

Great Video! She’s right, in order for social media to work you have to get social. You have to connect. Take care.

20% get 80% of the business; 80% get the remaining 20% of the business. The 20%, who get the 80%, do so because they do the right things. Only 20% of any possible actions are the right actions, the other 80% are the wrong actions, even if done right. The 80%, who only get the 20% of the possible reward, do so because they only do things right, including the 80% of the actions that are wrong. The 20%, who get 80% of the reward, do more of the right actions right, than wrong actions right.

LindaLHartford July 24, 2010 at 9:08 pm

Excellent input, Travis and Mari!! Thank you!

brianinski July 24, 2010 at 9:12 pm

MF the sound quality is hollow and cavernous, hard to listen to. Your room is too “live” and sound reflection becomes sound refraction, this is also called “shearing” which the unconscious mind reads as confusion, as we ’struggle’ to differentiate we miss content. Nasty. Real Butt!
