If your goal is to sell on internet, you will know that selling is much more then just getting backlinks. Selling is much more then just getting visitors.

 

You will have to engage your customers. So its not enough “just” to do SEO. Think about it – if you build a community on a social media platform – like Facebook or Twitter – you can engage your community, will it not help you to persuade a visitor to buy your product? It will help to engage your visitor, to get a response from your visitor and  yes – get your product sold.

How to use social media to influence B2B group buying descision.

Often when we talk about social media and to get traffic, its all about the consumer – the individual. But how can we use the social media to influence the group buying decisions in the B2B market?

The biggest different in the B2B market is that it is a group decision. In most cases you will have a buyer, potential team of people who will review the potential buyer and often a senior level person who has to approve the purchase right?

B2B marketers mostly use the BIG 3 – with LinkedIn (73%), Facebook (71%) and Twitter (67%). Right behind theses BIG 3 you have a YouTube (48%), blogging (44%) and online communities (22%). So get in the game guys.

Let me present to you 5 different things you have to consider as you create social media content targeted to the B2B group buyers.

 

Unique Benefits

Be rock steady in how you stand out from your competitors. What makes you and your product unique, and what will make a difference if the B2B buyer choose your product.

 

Competitive information

Don’t fool yourself and think that the buyer won’t check out the market. He will get information, he will find the other products, he will find the prices. So provide your information and highlight the areas where your company is better than your competitors. Position yourself ahead of your competitors.

 

Value

Tell the potential buyer why your company and product will save money, time or other resources for the buyer. Maybe your product is easier to use, maybe the buyer can get the product tomorrow and not next week, maybe your product will require less training. Make sure your potential buyer know the value of your offer.

 

Need to share

Your potential buyer needs to share the information with others in their organization. So provide them with great materials, so you are in control of the presentation and you make sure they will know all the benefits of your products. You can provide them with one/sheet takeaways, PowerPoint slides or video.

The Sales cycles are longer in the B2B marked then in the B2C marked because it’s a group decision. So get in the game, and be sure your potential buyers know the benefits of your product.

Give me a comment.. How do you use social media in your B2B marketing?

Take control of your link building

Let me show you 10 hot websites where you can build links back to your juice loving homepage. This will be a fun tour – so get your black coffee, put the music on and enjoy the ride.

Ready?

I have been working on this last weekend and I will finish it next weekend – so yes it does take some time – but it’s also worth it.

 

Friendfeed

1) Friendfeed.com

Sign up for a free account on Friendfeed.com. Remember to register your main keyword phrase as your user name.

FriendFeed is a real-time feed aggregating that updates from social media and social networking websites, social bookmarking websites, blogs and micro-blogging updates. It’s a powerful feeder site where you can create backlinks to your homepage. If you don’t have an account right now – go and do it – NOW.

On Friendfeed you can show 5 of your feeds. Just click on the add/edit and add all the URLs feeds that you own. You can use all kinds of URL feeds from the web. Go and add the URL feed there to the assigned category feed or the custom feed field. When you refer back to your Friendfeed account from all your other feed URLs, your profile will automatically be updated.

 

Flickr

2) Flickr.com

Sign up for a Flickr.com account. Again use your main keyword phrase as your username. Post some pictures on Flickr and tag them all with your main keywords and also remember to include them in the short description. Remember to fill out the Tags description too at your pictures or videos.

And when it’s done – remember to grab your Flickr.com feed and add it to your Friendfeed account.

Remember to custom your Flickr URL to include your main keyword. You find your RSS feed when you click to “Your Photostream”. Scroll down and copy the latest to the right of the RSS icon. Something much easier is to go to Friendfeed – click the Flickr icon and add your username from Flickr.

Awesome right? And remember we just got started.

 

Tumblr

3) Tubmlr.com

The next website we are going to sign up for is Tubmlr.com. Again when you sign up use your main keyword phrase as your username. When you make your profile, make a post related to your blog, remember to use your main keyword in the title, the body text and tags.
Now click on your user URL – something like http://yourusername.tumblr.com (just write your username Tumblr writes the rest) and right click on the RSS Feed and Copy Link Location. Then go back to your Friendfeed account paste your URL in the Feed category.

You get my point now right? Make some buzz around your site and copy the RSS Feed into Friendfeed.com. I know – I feel it too – we are getting closer and closer to putting the link building on autopilot right?
zimbio

4) Zimbio.com

Okay you get my point now. Go sign up for Zimbio.com and use your main keyword as your username. Edit your profile and include your website URL in the box made for it.

You can also submit your blog, publish your existing articles and write a new post – while linking back to your website – with a desire anchor text. It sounds like music in my ear.

 

 

 

5) Gather.com

Again a free account. Again use your main keyword as your username. Again create a profile and post a link back to your homepage with your desired anchor text, to your desired web pages. Gather.com has a PR6 (yes I know – Google doesn’t care much about this theses days).

(I was just told that Gather.com is no longer accepting new members !!)

 

6) About.me

Well .. I don’t really have to write what to do now … right? Okay I do it… Sign up, use your mail keywords as your user name, add your blog’s URL to your About.me profile.

Okay time for some new music. I love Paul McCartney, Sting .. And everything from 80s.

 

7) AboutUs.org

Same – set up your profile at AboutUs.org and do it all over…

 

8) Qondio.com

I only became aware of Qondio.com a few weeks ago. Qondio is an incredibly powerful resource for driving web traffic to your websites efficiently. Remember that your content on Qondio.com must be 100% unique, at least 500 words, you are allowed to include a keyword rich anchor text back to your homepage within your profile information. You must submit your blog and confirm you are the owner of Qondio’s verification process.

Qondio will ask other users to screen your article to make sure its high quality. So remember to do unique posts here. Very important..

Wow now we are almost done. I want to make a list of 10. So here are the 2 last ones.

 

9) Flixya.com

On flixya.com you can upload videos, photos and submit a unique blog post. So again don’t just copy and past a post. At least to some article spinning…

 

10) OnTopList.com

Get yourself a OnTopLlist.com account. And yes it’s FREE. Here you can submit your blog or website to the the assigned category and write articles. Again unique and you can include up to 3 keywords. Like at the other sites use your main keyword as your username. And btw you can also add your feeds here.

 

I know to sign up for all theses sites will take some time. I have done it. It took me 2 hours. So now I have a lot of automatic link building back to my site. You can do it too.

And as long as you have your music and coffee you will be fine .. Promise 🙂

Good luck and all the best to you.. As always
Henrik

 

 

 

I am getting more and more into Xmas theses days – so I am very happy that Google is getting into Xmas mood too.

 

When you go to www.google.com try to search the words “let it snow” and wait and watch.

You will still get the search results with video and all of the old favorite song. But after some seconds something is happening. Snowflakes is falling in your browser window. Then you will frost on the Google bar.

But don’t worry you will also get a defrost button. So if you wanna start all over – click the defrost button and try again. Ho ho ho…

Okay we all love Social Media right? Well I do. And when we start social media its fun to watch how many people like your page, how many fans you got, how many follower. To see how many retweets you are getting, how many people who are commenting on your Facebook posts. I admit it – I love that too.

But when all this is done – it’s all about sales. The social media has to fit into your overall marketing plan. We have to measure how well we are doing. If we don’t know that we can’t do it better. So lets me show you 5 ways to measure your Social Media ROI.

1) Measure your social media networks together AND separately. First you look at your Social Media altogether. But remember also to measure it separately. You might find only one or two of your social media are doing good. How much do you engage your customers on the social networks? How much traffic do they get? How many visits to you get to your website? How many sales do you get from the social media? Remember together AND separately.

2) Track visit-to-lead conversion. Where is the money. Many you get 1 million visits from twitter but its only the 150 visits from Linkedin that brings the sale to your company. How many lead generation are you getting? Is Twitter better than Facebook? How is Google+, Linkedin and Tumblr doing? When you are making your campaigns you will learn how many leads each social network can bring to your company. This will make you able to make better plans and yes – better ROI.

3) Track lead-to-customer conversion. Now you have your leads and the nest step is to convert theses leads to customer. You have to know from which social network your customers comes from. This can help you to allocate your marketing budget to optimize your sale.

4) Score leads and monitor the sales cycle. Score each social media. How long time does it take for people from reading your posts to make the sale. The sales cycle can be very different. Some social media has much shorter sales cycle than others. What can you do to shorten the sales cycle for social media leads.

5) Monitor site behaviors from your social media traffic. Get to know your customers. In a store you will watch how they are walking around in the shop. Do the same on your website. Listen to your customers by the way they act. Are the worrying about something, what are they checking before buying, what are their comments? If you can quickly show them the information they need you will shorten the sales cycle and you will get a higher ROI.

Social Media traffic is getting more and more important for more and more companies. If your company is not active on the social network and your competitors are you will loose leads and sale. When you are doing marketing in the REAL world, you will monitor how the ad is doing separately. When you are doing PPC online you will monitor them separately. So start monitor your social network and do it separately.

Enjoy your day

We all know the old school decision/making process right?

  • Need Recognition and Problem Awareness
  • Information Search
  • Evaluation of Alternatives
  • Purchase
  • Post-Purchase Evaluation

This model is important for anybody making marketing decisions. It will help the marketing to consider the whole buying process and not just the buying. This model implies that customers pass trough all the stages in the buying process. Even though – in the case of more routine purchases – people often skip one or two of the stages. This is old school right?

 

The new decision model
So how does the new decision marking take place when we talk about Social Media. I came across this awesome decision making cycle of connected customers. This is the new funnel: The Decision Ellipse (www.endofbusiness.com).

 

Click here to enlarge the picture

 

 

This is not a straight forward model. You have to earn your customers trust, you have to involve people, you have to get into the conversation on the social media.

First make your Formulation – what are you selling, get the customers awareness, attention, trigger.

Then the Pre-Commerce where your customer will consider and evaluate your product. The consideration is a circle going round with Brand Strength, Brand Interruption and Reconsideration. How strong is your brand.

Now you have the Evaluation. Here you have a circle of Brand Engagement, Reviews and Words of Mouth. What are you friends saying, what are other people saying about your product.

After your evaluation you will do the commerce. The purchase will show the customers self/expression and the customer will do the buying.

When the customer gets the product he or she will get into the post-commerce. Get experience. The customer will (hopefully) enjoy the product, and if we are lucky (and do a great job), the customer will be more loyal. And in the end we will get a bond to the customer.

 

The Influence Loop
And in the middle of all this there is the Influence Loop – Word of Mouth, Advocacy and Influence. What are the customers friends saying, what are the networks and the groups saying about your brand? What is the reputation of the brand?

The buyer is not doing the purchase alone. He will use his network, friends, family, groups, word of mouth in the social network. He will still use his close friends and family and colleges. But theses days he will make good use of the social media.

The good part of all this is, that we as a company can take an active part in the process. So get the social media for your company started. Get into the conversation. This is the new marketing.

Best regards
Henrik
