This is a short post about Social Oomph. You already know how I feel about Online Marketing Tools which help You automate those mundane functions associated with online marketing.
One such Online Marketing Productivity Tool is a service provided by Social Oomph. Social Oomph has so many features that I am not even going to try and list them all here. What Social Oomph has done is to take all of the mundane functions associated with social media posting, pinging, monitoring, measuring and managing your social networks i.e. Twitter and FB.
I started out with their free service which automates my DM posting to Twitter. Each time someone follows me on Twitter, my Oomph rotates one of a few DM messages. The Automatic Follower allows me to follow anyone who follows me and it even unfollows anyone who unfollows me.
The premium service adds so many additional features, allowing you to ping and run your own Twitter Bots. Take a look for yourself with the Free Trial and Test Drive Visit >> Social Oomph
Note: Woo Media is required by the FTC to inform you that we are affiliates of Social Oomph. Aside from being a customer, we also market their Social Oomph Service as we do for most of our recommended products.
Until next time . . . Happy Marketing!

I was late to FB! I actually only set up my profile this past November. Several years ago, when I was initially interested in FB, they were touting college students only. I went on to have success with Myspace Marketing and saw no reason to switch. Well Myspace is not what it was 3 years ago.
I must admit, I have had fun on FB, hooking up with school friends, finding old girlfriends and thanking my stars we never went further. Since I don't have any profile pictures up, I've been selfish and haven't given my old girlfriends the same satisfaction.
One thing that I've noticed about FB is that people spend a whole lot of time on FB. Wow. I kept saying to myself, between Farmville, iHearts and Mafia Wars some people need a part time job on FB. What if you could get paid to check your FB emails, Shop, play games or take a survey? Makes sense to me.
So understand my immediate interest in a recently received email. The subject line read "Did You Get Your Check From Facebook?". OK, so what had I missed in my FB setup? What FB application did I need to download to get my share? Further investigation revealed that the email wasn't about FB at all but introducing me to a Social Media Network called PeopleString.
The email read something like this:
PeopleString 'Where You Own the Web'. It is the new wave in relationship and social communities; it has the Creativity, Culture, Expressive Forums and places to meet new people and network; but now it combines all that with giving you a share in the revenues that are created by the users of the website.
The 'other' social sites keep all of the money for themselves and never give any to their users. They are making millions off of your actions and keeping it all. PeopleString shares the revenues that are generated by its members. This is unique for online social communities. Who other than PeopleString gives its members back 70% of the revenues?
In additions to the online community, what do you get? Self-Destructing Email, Email Tracking and you can aggregate your other Email Accounts. Video Emails, Contact Management. Web based IM: AOL, YAHOO. GTALK &MSN with Self Destructing feature, 1 on 1 Video Conferencing, Cash Back Shopping, Share Ad/ Search Revenue, Mailbox Cash.
How do you get started? Sign Up for your PeopleString account for free and take a short survey. This will position you to share in revenue. PeopleString members get higher payouts when they upgrade to the entrepreneurs package. As long as you are an active member, which means all you need to do is login once a month, you get Paid!!!
Oh, if you refer your friends and family and they make money. You make money! The PeopleString technology creates a digital link for life between users.
So, are you online interacting on social sites, sending emails, clicking on ads? Then why not get paid for what you are doing? So, go ahead and join PeopleString and start making money on the Internet. Whether you want to make a few friends, extra money or a second income you can find it all at PeopleString.
Cute email right? I mean it PeopleString made sense to me. These were the same social media money thoughts that I had. So I watched the video, checked PeopleString's Alexa ranking and said, I am going to join this one early. Their Alexa has been steadily decreasing which with Alexa is a great thing!
So Far, I like the PeopleString business promo tools. What I really like is watching the money add up! So take a quick look at my ever changing profile at http://ow.ly/Tn7u

When building online traffic for your website or blogs, don't forget to use Push Marketing.
Push Marketing is any marketing techniques used to push information/news to your target audience with intent for them to contact you or your company as soon as possible. Contact includes by phone, email, web visit, survey or any other Push Technique.
One way of using Push Marketing is with smart and timely newsletters. Newsletters are a great way to Push information to your potential customers/readers and PULL those same customer/readers back to your website, blog or telephone for additional information and or to place an order.
Remember, your customer is not always going to buy from you the first time they visit your website. You want to try and grab an email address every chance that you get!
At Woo Media Works we use Constant Contact for several of our Push Marketing campaigns. Constant Contact is a great email contact/list and content management system. Constant Contact really takes the headache out of email marketing with their list management, anti spam features, templates, constant upgrades, support and on and on.
Watching budget costs? I really like Constant Contact because of their flat fee pricing to the market. Price is based upon the size of your list and you have unlimited opportunities to send emails for that month. Constant contact has a variety of subscriber widgets that you can place on your blogs, sites or social media. They have added autoresponders, archival options and a host of new features are slated for 2010.
You owe it to your marketing campaign to try Constant Contact FREE for 60 days.
Used correctly, Push and Pull Marketing strategies will provide you with added traffic for your websites and your business. Push Marketing will also help you build better relationships with your audience. Remember, People Buy From Who They Like!

Recently, there's been a rash of fake malicious Facebook and Google Emails
You want to be aware of fake “phishing” emails that appear to come from Facebook and other social networks. These include malicious attachments (password reset files) or links to phony spoofed facebook.com.xxx.xxx websites that will steal your login information and prompt you to install additional fake malicious software.
The last few waves of these emails mention "new login system", "Facebook Account Update", and “Facebook Password Reset". We've also seen the Google Mail and PayPal email password phishing scams.
Hopefully your AntiSPAM filter is blocking most of these kinds of emails, but some may get through or as a busines owner, some of your employees may still be clicking on these emails even after they have been flagged as SPAM/[JUNK]/[LIKELY JUNK] etc. As a parent, some of your teens probably are on Facebook and other networks and may be unaware.
Facebook, Google and PayPal will not solicit you to update account information or install updates. When you encounter unsolicited emails, always “think before you click” or simply delete them.
Until next time . . . Happy Marketing!

Ah . . . The good o'l Squeeze VS. The Capture. Sounds like some war game tactical maneuver. In marketing both the Squeeze and the Capture are equally important in growth.
If you've ever caught me on talk radio, a teleseminar or on a marketing panel/discussion, you've heard me talk about how important it is to capture an email address. You've heard me even suggest to music artists to trade a song or ringtone for an email address.
The fine art of Growing Your List!
You've also heard me say that "visitors to your websites don't always purchase something the first time that they visit your site. You've heard me say that it takes on average 7 times before someone even remembers that they saw something about you or your offer before.
Not everyone gets the message the first time they visit your website!
If you've entered your email address in a widget/online or offline form/email box to gain access to additional information of some kind, then you've participated in an email capture system. If you were asked in a reply email to confirm your desire to receive said information, you've now participated in the Double Opt In email capture system.
The greater the perceived value of the information or materials requested, the more successful of an email capture campaign you can expect, especially double opt in. Exclusive information works the best!
Being a marketer graphically challenged in the "creating good looking squeeze pages fast department", you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn about Jeff Long's Instant Capture Page Software.
WOW! This online marketing tool couldn't have come along at a better time for us. Every marketer could use a web based, easier way to create capture pages on the fly!
Jeff’s software puts you in complete control to create capture or squeeze pages for any website on the Internet. Think about it . . Any website, Any Article, Any News Story or Blog on the Internet. You can even create a Squeeze Page if you prefer!
What's the difference between a squeeze page and a capture page?
Not very much. In fact most of the so called online marketing gurus I read use them synonymously.
However, when I think of Squeeze VS. Capture, I think of the following:
A capture page gives the visitor an option to enter their email address or not. Should the visitor not enter their email address, they still can view the subsequent information. Email capture widgets usually advertise some special information, an available book etc. When I use a capture page I make sure that my free offer is appealing and non threatening.
On the other hand, a squeeze page forces or squeezes the visitor to enter their email address. If the visitor doesn't enter their email address, then they Won't see or receive the subsequent information or material. This is usually an exclusive offer. The good o'l exclusive offer squeeze page maneuver.
In both the capture and the squeeze, if your information is perceived valuable, you usually receive a valid email address for your ongoing follow up.
Jeff’s Instant Capture Page software gives you The Power to: in under 40 seconds, create a capture page for Clickbank, Paydotcom, Myspace, Twitter, Google, Yahoo and any other affiliate program or website that you want. AND it integrates with Aweber (Autoresponder). What could be finer?
I cringe to think about how many times I have sent traffic to an affiliate link without the ability to create an offer and capture the visitors email address. Ooooooooh
Thanks Jeff!
Instant Capture Page is as easy as it gets! Jeff is soon adding new features and will raise the price. If you were smart, you'd grab a copy right now.

Since starting this blog, Life Has Happened to me again! You know how it is . . . you have the best intentions to consistently do something, but then . . . Life Happens! That thing that always gets you off track a bit.
How do I know Life Happened? Because when I started this blog, my goal was to write a new marketing entry once a week. I soon went to once a month and now its "can I get something for the quarter?" Don't worry, I didn't turn into a couch potato and give up on marketing.
Fortunately, Life Happening for me just created more work and made me a whole lot Busier.
Life Happening doesn't care who, what, when, where or even how, Life just Happens. (Death Happens a lot the same, but that's a different blog that I hope not to write anytime soon!)
On the creative side of Life Happening, there's been the absorption of marketing knowledge, the hours of learning, there's been the 3 new blogs, EVN (Earwax Video Networks) has moved to a new platform, there's the consulting for the software company, consulting for an incredible area/roof measuring tech company and there's the 4 other project proposals under review. There's the music and social network clients . . . On top of the father, husband, son, brother, friend, HOA president and the myriad of other responsibilities that Happen from Life. But Hey . . . it's got to be done! You shant hear me neither wince nor cry aloud!
Needless to say, I just wanted to give you a brief update on what has really been happening in the Woo World.
One thing's for sure, life is a fabulous teacher! What a learning experience this thing called Life! Oh and I started re-reading Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. (The book literally fell off of the bookshelf at my feet, I took it as a sign.)
Speaking of Thinking and Growing Rich, my software client is really interesting. As a global leader in business and government software solutions i.e. financial, HR, supply chain, ERP, CRM, business intelligence, strategy management etc, they really specialize in process automation and performance management. Their Business Intelligence or BI suite of tools is what really captured my attention and where my focus has been. Being able to control and implement strategy across the enterprise, automate processes, assess risk, monitor and optimize performance with what if modeling, slicing and dicing data in real time with on screen dashboards . . . that's Awesome Power!
So with my new performance management experiences, my marketing "Think and Grow Rich" brainwaves started kicking in on overdrive. . . how to bring more performance management, measuring and monitoring tools to my own online marketing and online/offline sales. How do I automate my operational processes and use some of these same types of tools to improve my businesses? How can I measure performance in real time with alerts to when we're not hitting on all cylinders?
So while Thinking to Grow Richer, I thought that I couldn't be the only one needing these tools and therein set the idea of creating a website dedicated to introducing relevant and affordable online marketing tools. The kind of online marketing tools that bring intelligence and metrics to marketing, automating processes and most of all being affordable for all marketers! I also wanted online marketing tools that newbies could use without having to be Cisco Certified.
For this website, I chose the WordPress platform and used a special search engine optimized template. In understanding the power of WordPress as this open platform content management system, I have been real impressed with the available plugins and templates. I watched these WordPress Tutorial Videos and got started. No one will ever call me a web designer, but I can watch and pause a video while I follow the instructions.
So there you have it. You're now updated with latest adventure of ChuckWoo.com and why there have been few new marketing articles. Blame it on Life Happened! Know that I am working to improve my processes.
Oh Snaps, How could I forget . . . Twitter also happened since starting this blog! Are you following me on Twitter/chuckwoo? We started seeing spikes in our online traffic to all of our media properties by using Twitter. I took in so much knowledge on Twitter and social marketing that I have several Twitter Clients. Tweeting is so much easier and faster than writing 5 paragraph marketing articles. BTW, Hootsuite has been a great Twitter online marketing tool. They have performance measuring tools which will help all Twitter marketers. I don't always agree with Hootsuite's deflated click thru numbers but I understand their attempt to filter bot clicks.
Until next time . . . Happy Marketing!
