Canada’s Top 5 Telecom Companies Social Media Report

Edit Article |

]]>

But first, let’s define our terms and provide some background. For those non technical readers, Twitter and Facebook are Internet-based applications that have set the stage for the stampede of companies seeking marketing success with this new fangled advertising medium called social media marketing.

How big is use of social media as an advertising medium? Analysts predict that by 2013 the US alone will spend billion on this juggernaut-advertising vehicle. Out of this social media fury emerge the SEO consultants, architects of disappointment for corporate social media campaigns. They are increasingly guiding their victim clients to adopt Facebook and Twitter, but not helping them implement these applications properly.

Classic victims of the SEO snake oil consultants appear to be Canada’s five mobile service giants Bell Canada, Rogers, Virgin Mobility, Telus and Fido. Or the Corporate look the other way issue. Others are doing this Social Media Marketing, so we need it. “HIRE someone to deal with this“.

Our techno crew had a field day investigating and analyzing the Canadian Telecom pratfalls in adapting Facebook and Twitter for their social media outreach. Our long-suffering word nerd has tried to put this into English for the non-tech crowd. The following is a synopsis of our research on the big five, mixing English with accessible tech talk. Unlike SEO consultants, we want you to understand what we are saying.

The findings we share here are more than surprising to us. It’s important to appreciate that these intertwined telcos are the ones providing networks and Internet connections that platform social media applications in Canada. You would think they would be experts in wielding the social media sword. Shockingly, that is far from the case.

One of the basic rules of good Social Media practice is to make sure you have icons on your web site that let readers jump from your site to Facebook and Twitter and other social media applications.

Virgin got a passing grade because its site had Twitter, Facebook and YouTube icons on each page. At least Virgin understands that such effort shows current and potential customers that this company is in the social media game. The rest of the telcos did not have a single social media icon on their sites, leaving consumers to find their own path to Facebook and Twitter. A sucker punch if I ever saw one. Left to find their own way, to these applications what do consumers find? Almost nothing but complaints about the telecom companies, making them easy targets for the torrent of rabid protests about their unsatisfactory service and poor business practices. My imagination is limited in helping me understanding this reverse marketing technique.

Let’s look now at how these telcos handled their Twitter accounts. Rogers and Bell have shut down their Twitter accounts because consumers were using this application to talk almost exclusively about how bad these companies are. Obviously, when they had Twitter accounts they have no icon button on their web sites, but let’s not flog a dead horse. Bell never really used the Twitter account, garnering only 341 followers and a meager 25 updates. Rogers closed one of its Twitter accounts, Rogers Buzz, because the company is basically rethinking its overall social media plan. A bad social media plan, coupled with a recent internal horseplay disaster, has resulted in mass firings of their tech team. Have a look at the number of job postings Rogers have online for social media positions. The last two have Twitter accounts, but again, no icons on their web sites directing readers to this application. And, they continue to use their Twitter accounts to convey purely promotional tweets, numbing their intended audiences with their repetitive messages.

Next, we looked at Facebook accounts. Virgin, Telus and Fido have okay Facebook accounts. These three are promoting awareness of social issues, not just pummeling their audience with messages about their products and services. Bell and Rogers’ Facebook use is a PR disaster. Exponentially more wall posts and sites are loud vehicles for consumer anger about Bell and Rogers service and false promises. No one is touting the virtues of these two giants.

Aside from faulty Facebook and Twitter application, we found other perplexing lapses in basic Social Media good practice. “Search Engine Optimization” In any social media exercise, the game is getting the search engines to love your content and send it to first-page status. For this to happen, the company web site must be registered with search engines. Again, this is Social Marketing 101. We found only Bell Canada had done the technical job correctly. So why is this a big deal? According to Internet World Stats, 84 percent of Canadians use the Internet (the highest Internet usage per capita in the world). These web users perform more than 85 million searches a day. If your web site is not registered with the search engines, these consumer searchers will not easily find your site.

Here’s another blunder. The entire idea of social media is to share content about your interests and those of others. All of these companies failed to do this on their web sites. Not one of these sites included RSS buttons on their fancy web sites. Including a RSS button is Social Media 101. Even my grandmother has one on her blog. Also, none of them had share buttons, thus starving and isolating the site from users, who, in a knee-jerk fashion, are happy to pass your information and content on to the social media stratosphere. Instead of helping to build more followers for these companies’ content, users find a dead end on these sites.

The other basics you would implement as part of a social media strategy include an External blog. None had one.

They didn’t use news distribution sites. Digg, Mixx, Reddit, Newsvine are all free but were not resourced by the big five. Social media book marking advantages also went unheeded by the telcos. Bell had a few bookmarks in Yahoo about 1,300 links of more bad news about Bell Customers.

The truly unbelievable aspect of all this is they meant to get in the social marketing game. Much of the social marketing paraphernalia are there. It’s obvious they have spent millions on research reports, studies, consultants and staff, who have, for the most part, failed.

For those readers interested in delving deeper into this quagmire of miscues and bad social media management, I invite you to have a look at the statistics and analysis we have provided to back up our observations and which are available in this article.

In upcoming articles we will take our lens to the social media gaffes of newspapers, government, banks, retailers, restaurants, advertising agencies and SEO consultants.

Attention: If You’ve Always Dreamed Of Reaching Millions Of Customers On Twitter At The Click Of A Mouse, Then THIS Is The Tool You’ve Been Waiting For!

“The World’s First Nuts & Bolts ULTIMATE Solution To Perfect Twitter Marketing For Affiliate Marketers, Webmasters, Info Marketers, Network Marketers, Consultants, Offline Business Owners And MORE!”

Now you too can become a Twitter rockstar using this time tested proven marketing tool, reach your perfect prospects, build your brand, and make a ton of money in the process!

If you’d like to finally crack the online money making code by using one of the internet’s most popular websites then this could be the most important website you’ll ever read.

My name is Bill Simmons and I’ve created the ultimate solution to marketing and pulling customers and prospects from Twitter, but more on that later.

You see, until recently I was just like you. I had been seeing all of the emails, advertisements, banners, ebooks, and the like which were all promoting Twitter as the next big thing in internet marketing and a godsend for offline businesses interested in reaching customers online.

When I finally got around to creating an account there I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I had a burning question in the forefront of my mind…

How can a simple website like Twitter that only allows you to talk 140 characters at a time be the “next big thing”?

Well, after doing some research I found out some very interesting facts about this incredible social media website:

Out of billions of websites Twitter.com is the #10 most highly trafficked website online

There are more than 106,000,000 users on Twitter

The number of users grows by 300,000 or more each day and has been doing so for the past six months

On average about 1 out of every 350 visitors land on a website by way of Twitter

After realizing these astounding figures, I couldn’t believe the literal goldmine that we all have at our finger tips waiting anxious to be prospected.

I wanted to begin making money on Twitter, and most of all I wanted to start NOW!

But…

Twitter is a unique and sometimes confusing media that requires a unique approach to marketing.

Since the website is a social network, you simply can not go full on high pressure “used car salesman” with the selling, otherwise you’d be quickly reported for spamming and then banned without notice.

I soon realized that there are several hurdles that stop marketers like me and you from pulling profits from this website.

1st) It can be difficult to actually target people who would be interested in our products and services

Twitter doesn’t make it all that easy to find people who are interested in what we are offering. I found that I had to access several different websites in order to start building a list of targeted Twitter followers. This took an awful amount of time from my day to say the least.

And if you simply get on Twitter and start following random people, you’ll begin building a list of Twitter followers that aren’t interested in what you are offering. This is the digital equivalent of spinning your wheels in the gravel going nowhere fast.

2nd) You can only add so many users to your Twitter list per day.

This can be difficult if you want to scale up fast. Twitter has a cap on the amount of people you can add to your Twitter list per day. If you surpass this you risk being banned and losing everything that you’ve built.

3rd) If you’re marketing a local business, it can be nearly impossible to target people by location

This is the stark truth that comes along with marketing on Twitter. If I want to promote my real estate agency to a single city on Twitter it can literally take hours upon hours of digging through people’s profiles in order to find their locations. While it would be worth it for some, many marketers and business owners simply don’t have the time to do it.

I knew there had to be a way.

So after discovering all these problems, I got a little creative…

I asked myself a simple question, but the implications were staggering!

What if there were a way for me to solve all of these issues for marketers and make it completely easy to begin building big targeted Twitter followings no matter if you’re an Internet Affiliate, Webmaster, CPA Marketer, Info Marketer, Network Marketer, Consultant, or Offline Business Owner?

Well, there is and its called “Tweet Buddy!”

TweetBuddy is your man on Twitter. This revolutionary software will completely automate and manage your marketing activities on Twitter, giving you the biggest return on time invested.

Let’s take a look at some of the exciting features and benefits of the TweetBuddy software:

Automatic Friend Follower & Easy Prospect Targeting:
TweetBuddy will allow you to cut through all of the red tape and gain access to people on Twitter who are only interested in what you are offering. By using its unique technology you will be able to target prospects by what they are actively talking about on Twitter via a keyword search and build up your Twitter list on complete autopilot.

Follow Up To 500 People Per Day
- Twitter caps the amount of people you can follow per day to 500. With TweetBuddy you will never surpass this number which would put your account at risk of being banned

Divide Up The Keyword Search Between The 500 Followers
- Let’s say you’re an offline business owner who sells gardening and home improvement equipment. With TweetBuddy you can follow 250 people who use the keyword gardening in their profiles, and you can follow 250 people who use the keyword home improvement in their profiles. This capability is great if you’re in a multifaceted marketplace.

Follow Other User’s Followers
- This component of TweetBuddy allows you to follow other users followers. This can be a very powerful method to quickly build up a huge targeted Twitter following. Let’s say you own a website that sells computer hardware. You could find PC Magazine’s Twitter account and follow all of their followers. This is great because you know that anyone who is following that magazine’s account is a computer enthusiast and probably a great customer who purchases a lot of PC hardware. I hope you’re really beginning to see just how powerful TweetBuddy is!

Target Prospects By Location
- TweetBuddy also lets you target your prospects by their actual physical location within a 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, or 1,000 mile radius. This is great if you’re an offline consultant or bricks and mortar business owner. For example, if you run a local hobby shop that specializes in model trains you can target people who live in and around the city your shop is located in who have tweeted about model trains, or who have model trains listed as one of their interests!

We all know that its extremely easy to do business when you get in front of people who want what you have, and TweetBuddy allows you to do just that!

Automatic Direct Messaging To New Followers
- TweetBuddy will send a direct message to anyone who follows you back once you’ve followed them. This is a great way to generate website traffic or to get calls for your business. By combining the prospect targeting components of TweetBuddy, everyone who follows you back will be a highly targeted prospect. And by making an exciting offer in these direct messages everyone who follows you will be exposed to your advertising for FREE! I hope you can see the power in this! Why spend thousands on traditional advertising when you can reach your customers on their favorite social network for free?

Automatic Account Cleaner
- TweetBuddy also keeps your account organized by allowing you to unfollow people who are not following you back. This allows you to maintain a high quality list of responsive Twitter followers without your marketing being wasted on tire kickers and window shoppers.

Tweet Calendar With Time Delay
- In order to really set up your Twitter marketing on full auto-pilot TweetBuddy allows you to schedule your Tweets in advance. You can literally log into the software one time for the day, week, or even month and setup all your Tweets in advance, then TweetBuddy will login to your account for you and post your Tweets automatically. This allows you to maintain a natural Twitter presence without having to be on the website.

Tweet Token System
- This component is arguably one of the most powerful capabilities built into the software. By using special syntax you can set the software to tweet once every X amount of hours. The unique syntax is incredibly easy and simple to use and it allows each tweet you send out to be totally unique from the last even though the same information is being tweeted. With this you can make sure you reach most if not all of your Twitter list since everyone is not always logged onto Twitter at the same time. We’re talking some serious market coverage here!

Twitter Account Manager
- If you’re an internet marketer who participates and markets in multiple niches then this component was designed with you in mind. You can not only build highly targeted Twitter accounts for each niche, but you can manage them all in one place without having to remember tons of user names and passwords. TweetBuddy keeps track of everything for you.

Twitter Demystified for Business Users

]]>

Twitter is the current top “hot property” on the Web, but its popularity and how to use it has mystified many business owners. Many people think that they want to, or should be using Twitter, but simply do not understand the platform, its use, or its place in building web exposure. This article will demystify Twitter and help you to learn how to use it in the workplace and to promote your business.

First, I have to say that I had been confused on how to use Twitter to benefit my own business until I downloaded TweetDeck. TweetDeck is a desktop application that allows you to review and post status updates on Twitter and Facebook simultaneously. I consider it a “must have” application for anyone who wants to make sense of Twitter. TweetDeck allows you to sort the people you follow on Twitter into groups, allows you to limit the number of Tweets (Twitter micro posts) to be shown at any one time, and also allows you to remove all Tweets you have seen with one click. Additionally, using TweetDeck, finally a Twitter search on a topic makes sense.

Since using TweetDeck, I have had a much better Twitter experience. As a Twitter newbie, visiting your own Twitter home page is intimidating; it consists of post after post from people who you are following, who you may not know much about, and it just seems like a huge volume of content. To get started effectively first group the people who actually have something interesting to say on TweetDeck and voila, you have a powerful tool that keeps you at the forefront of what is happening in your industry and on the Web.

So how do you get started with Twitter? Well the first thing is to start on Twitter yourself to understand what you like to read, who you like to follow, and to clearly identify what you like about Twitter. For me, it boils down to this: I like to follow people in my industry who say something of value, who provide a link to a new application or point me to an interesting new article, video, or blog site that I should review but may have never have found myself. Based on what I like, and the people who I find interesting to read, I now write my Twitter posts using this same formula to grow my own Twitter audience.

What I also like about Twitter is that the people who I follow also know how to show their true personality in their Tweets. Ye,s I do like to know what Danny Sullivan (famous search engine marketing guru) ate for lunch, but better yet is the link to the video he thought was funny. I love following Ashton Kutcher (movie star married to Demi Moore who just hit 1 million Twitter followers in April). Man, that guy is really funny and is having a ball with Twitter. His posts are great and he has just earned the status of the user with the most followers. This is why you can’t hire someone to “Ghost Twitter” for you. It’s about showing the real you – you can’t fake that!

So how can you use Twitter for business? Twitter is an excellent tool for linking and this is the real value for businesses. By using Twitter to point people to content on your website, articles you have written either on or off your website, or by linking to a service you want to highlight, you drive traffic. On top of that, Google actually indexes Twitter and so your Twitter page can appear in the organic search results so make sure your bio is well thought out. Don’t waste time using Twitter to point to blog posts, use TwitterFeed to post your blog posts directly onto Twitter. If you have a blog or website, you’ll get new Twitter followers by posting your TwitterFeed right onto your web pages. People who may not have known your Twitter ID can simply click the bottom “follow me link” and start following you on Twitter.

What’s important to be successful in using Twitter is to identify what you personally like about this new media and then deliver the same type of things that you like back to your own followers – work to provide value not drivel! So you’ve got to play with Twitter and learn how to use it first before you can really become successful with it for your business.

So how do you get followers? Well, I started by following everyone (who I found by doing a Twitter search) who had the last name McCord. Then I searched for web design, search engine optimization, and pay per click. Any site profile that looked good, I clicked to follow the writer. It was that easy. Many times people who you follow yourself will choose to follow you. That’s how you initially build up your Twitter base. Over time you will start to identify your “Twitter voice” and refine the type of Twitter presence you want to have by changing your content style and the things that you Tweet about. As you refine your presence, you will build a following.

Another cool Twitter use is that you can reply to any of your followers by simply putting an @ in front of their Twitter ID. For example to send something to my attention use @mccordweb at the very front of your Twitter posting and click enter. Just remember that this post is seen by all followers on my site and on your Twitter site. If you need a more private exchange, go to the direct message link on the Twitter.com site and select a follower by Twitter ID name and send your message from there. This note will be private. If you are using TweetDeck you can click on a follower’s Twitter ID icon and then select to send a direct message or @reply to them. TweetDeck will automatically insert the correct syntax for you in the Tweet.

For many businesses the ability for users to communicate with top management using Twitter is an invaluable resource. This one-to-one exchange allows a company principal to keep tabs on customer viewpoints, concerns, and interests. As a Twitter reply or direct mail does not use email and does not require a response, this is a great way to tap into social networking to test new ideas and to ask for user feedback. For example, if you have a new software product ask your Twitter followers for feedback on a specific feature, or provide a link to your beta version for their testing.

How you use Twitter is all about your personal business needs. The best advice that I can offer to you is that you need to use Twitter a bit yourself first to understand the medium and to find out what you like to read best using Twitter. Then, create your own Twitter network sharing information that you find interesting and have some fun.

Currently I am following 204 people and 183 people are following me on Twitter. Personally I find Twitter great fun and a very cool way to find out first what’s happening in the world before you see it on TV, read it on the Web, or see it in the newspaper. That’s the real power of Twitter; you share, you find out, and you know, all by a person-to-person exchange of information.

For those of you clicking in from my e-newsletter the rest of the content on Twitter applications and uses follows.

Below are some of the Twitter applications that I like and use regularly for my business.

Twuffer – I love this one, it is a Twitter post scheduler. Some people feel that Twuffer defeats the immediacy of Twitter posts or Tweets, but I like it as I will schedule Tweets on days that I am not blogging to keep my followers advised of things I find important. It is easy to use, allows you to Tweet ahead, and lets you select a posting schedule by day and time. If you are pushing content on a service or product this is an excellent tool to use. Set your Tweets up one week or one month at a time and feed your content to readers in addition to your regular Tweets. Make sure to use www.TinyUrl.com to change any long URLs you point to in the Tweet to a Twitter-friendly short version to save space.

Twitter Feed – This is another one of my top favorites. TwitterFeed allows me to show my blog posts from “The Web Authority” directly onto Twitter. It also allows me to post my Tweets back on my blog (by installing a widget) in my blog template – very cool cross interaction! I pick up many Twitter followers with this technique. Readers come to visit my blog and then choose to follow me on Twitter.

Twitter Grader – This one is a vanity application that allows you to see where you stack up against other Twitter users. Twitter Grader measures the power of a Twitter user based on followers, number of updates, and posting frequency.

TweetBeep – With this application, you can manage your online Twitter reputation. Alerts will be emailed to you whenever a Twitter user Tweets about your business, name, or domain. You select the alert criteria and what to watch for using TweetBeep. This is great for a business that is concerned about branding and online identity. PR professionals should make sure to use this tool to watch for comments about their clients.

Twitoria – Clean up your Twitter followers by finding out which people never use Twitter or post infrequently so you can delete them right from the Twitoria interface.

Qwitter – If you want to know when someone stops following you, sign up for this service. Actually, this can be an excellent tool to find out what a reader hated that you posted about and caused them to “chop” you, so you can fine tune your message. If you get a flood of drops after a Tweet, it allows you to learn that people don’t like a certain type of Tweet – instant feedback at an anonymous level!

One big thing about Twitter that I have not even mentioned yet but is actually one of Twitter’s best features is the ability to text-in Tweets from your mobile phone. Although you can’t easily link to great content typically on the fly like this, the ability to connect with others without being tethered to a computer is an opportunity to show the “real you”. Maybe your followers do want to know what you are eating for lunch or about a seminar you just attended, just be kind and don’t vomit out Twitter spam using your Blackberry on meaningless drivel.

You can easily set up the ability to receive text messages from your Twitter account to your cell or Blackberry, but be careful as you may be inundated if you have a large following. I would recommend receiving Twitter updates via text message to your cell only from a small group. For example if you have a project team, set up a Twitter account for each member to allow them to post just to this small unique circle of team members. The value to track and interact with each other at anytime and anywhere using Twitter by computer or by cell phone adds real value for work groups and teams – particularly team managers. Twitter even allows you to make this type of group private.

Another feature of Twitter is the ability to add hashtags in front of keywords in your Tweets to help with sorting to allow others to find your important content. For example if you wanted to Tweet about a recent earthquake in LA you would use #laearthquake in the front of your Tweet. By using hashtags you enable Twitter to return your information for topic searches on newsworthy Tweets. You can visit Hashtags.org for more information on the current hot hashtags that are in use for today so you can follow, add to the topic, or create your own. For example in Twitter World, Fridays are the day you post with #followfriday and enter in the Twitter IDs you want to recommend to others. You would be amazed at the cool new people you can follow and interact with from recommendations of the people you follow.

In conclusion, Twitter is one of the hottest new mediums to arrive on the Internet scene since Facebook. Although it is not exactly “new”, Twitter has just recently become very high profile. If you are in business, Twitter definitely warrants your attention. Not only is it a very smart new tool to use in your marketing arsenal, but I think that the more you use it you will grow to love it and find it fun to use. The ways that you can use Twitter are endless: for teams, for family members, for business networking, to stay at the forefront of news, to promote yourself and your services, and to just have fun connecting with others online. Just remember you can’t really make sense of Twitter for business without using TweetDeck or another similar aggregating and sorting application.

The key to trading penny stocks is learning how the game is played. The game has always been and will always be controlled by the MM’s (market makers) These are the people we used to trust to make a market for any stock even in the roughest times.

However times have changed especially in pennystocks, Very little regulations and oversight has turned these market makers into nothing more then market manipulators, manipulating any penny stock however they see fit for personal gaines.

Now most smart investors have learned you can’t beat them at their game. They have to much power and control. The best we can do is watch them and learn their patterns, Each MM has its own style of manipulating. and they will react in their own predictable way to different situations. Once you learn this you will truely have the advantage.
Trading penny stocks is much like playing a game of chess against these MM’s. If you know their techniques and strategys then you can easily predict where they will take a stock.

Watch them carefully on L2 , and watch charts at the same time you will see some MM’s react to certain indicators, some only react to buy and sell pressure. And some even work in teams and are truely there to take as much money as they can from you using all the dirtiest tactics including naked shorting, Paid message board bashers, and fake PR releases. (I.E. PUMA, NOBL, SSGI, STXG, CHDN). If you are in a stock with them you are in trouble take profits fast and get out , they will NSS it down to nothing faster then you can blink an eye.

And don’t trust for a second any of the so called guru’s from twitter, ihub, or various pennystock chatrooms and msg boards. Most are in for personal gain by frontloading and pumping and many are even paid promoters, paid with stock that they dump on you while alerting the hot trade.
Although there are a few that are like me Alerting only The hottest Penny stocks on twitter that will sift through all the pumps and dumps and promotions. From all the Message boards, Newsletters, Chatrooms, and Tweets. and alert you to only the best penny stocks and also tell you why they are running and what to expect next.
