  • 3 more social media case studies
  • How restaurants and salons can use social media to grow their businesses organically
  • Making sure your company has a disaster recovery plan that isn’t based on the disaster occurring in the past

A “salty” version of Southern Social Media is in store for you today . . . I went on quite the rant about some recent happenings in the Internet Marketing world and some of the scam artists out there.

Topics include:

  • The southern definition of “barrier”
  • Two social media connections that have figured this stuff out that aren’t trying to get money from you . . . why they’re successful and how it can benefit your business.
  • Perry Belcher – Forewarning: SERIOUS rant ahead . . . this guy isn’t the “good guy” we all thought
  • StomperNet: buyer beware (why are they struggling financially if they’re getting $800/month and have “2,500 happy subscribers”? Something just doesn’t add up)
  • Brad Fallon’s $100,000 spending spree (as it pertains to StomperNet)
  • 5 Mistakes to Avoid with Social Media
  • Employing someone to help your business utilize social media
  • You might be a redneck . . . 3 full examples

From a personal standpoint, I feel 10 times better for getting this stuff off my chest, and I hope you listen in so that you don’t fall victim to some of the “mind control” marketing going on out there that is merely designed to mislead you and part your money from your wallet. While rants aren’t common, this one is sure to help you avoid some unsavory characters online.

Wes and I just got done with another rendition of Southern Social Media.

Amongst our topics:

  • Perry Belcher’s exit from Internet Marketing Training & what we can all learn from it
  • Generating profits from social media instead of just winning the popularity contest
  • Growing a list even if you provide a service
  • Salon tips from researching review sites
  • Social benchmarking study
  • A contest you can enter to win 1 month’s access to Wes’ Social Media Mondays and 5 people can win free access to my upcoming List Samurai program
  • The southern definition of “banner”

FOREWARNING: both of us go cut off right in the middle of the podcast so there is a gap of about 60 seconds.  Don’t be alarmed.

This is a shorter rendition of Southern Social Media due to “time constraints” and scheduling conflicts, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t packed with some good info and a few jokes.  :)

Amongst the topics:

  • How 1 company leveraged Twitter to grow their customer base by 840% in a year
  • Why strategy is so important to your social media campaigns (we sound like a broken record on this, but it’s that important!)
  • Social Media Mondays
  • List Samurai update (it’s likely going to have more like 20 videos instead of just 13)
  • Facebook 20.1 tips

  • 3 Top Reasons Why Social Media is Still a Tough Sell
  • Social Media Consultants . . . how to find one to help you & kick the project off successfully
  • Finding someone within your organization to become your social media “czar”
  • How Do We Manage the Adoption of Social Media?
  • Will Social Media Kill Trade Publications?
  • The future of print & trade publications
  • Southern definitions of “appear” and “attacks”
  • Monitoring tools for social media
