Tech T!PS Jam - Spring Cleaning: We dusted off that existing website and the business social media with some guidance on how to freshen up the content. The helping hand included tips on how to employ a SMART campaign: Specific (focused), Measurable (built on feedback), Achievable (capturing that “USP”), Realistic (conversions that work), Time (establishing trust, value, and a quality reputation.) Plus for those guitar enthusiasts that joined-in a free guitar lesson was at hand. Richard N. Fustino played and walked us through the notes of his original song "Spring."

Social media marketing can be both good and challenging for small businesses. It’s good there are online branding, marketing and advertising strategies that can be employed, readily available, and for a limited budget. However, as more consumers are barraged with miscellaneous social media content, they may ignore your produce or service message if not targeted correctly.

Standing tall amongst hundreds giant trees in a forest can be a challenge. Similarly so, if potential customers are especially loyal to another competing brand it can be an up-hill climb. So, what are the best solutions for winning over customers? What are the best practices for your social media campaigns? During the webinar we discussed these challenges. As demonstrated, when they are considered together become 5 best strategies and do coincide with our theme: Learn, Knowledge-Base, Reward. Enjoy the live video here: Click/Tap.

During a live broadcast webinar in June of  2017 the InBusinessLinks Network and the Fustino Brothers, Inc. demonstrated how to create an audience pleasing newsletter online with a app called "Paper.Li". The newsletter examples presented were done in the 'natural language' and in a method one would expect from a professional resource. This product provides custom branding and social analyses (the paid pro version), but you can test out for free. Go to: http://paper.li/pro.html

Relevant topics, engaging stories and utilizing industry standard terms are the path to success. Russ Fustino mentioned: “The key to the newsletters are the sources. For Tull, we selected capturing tweets from those twitter accounts that Jethro Tull twitter is following. Then, we put in hash tags for #tull to capture more input sources, then we added more from that process like ‘ultimateclassicrock’.” Review the PowerPoint and watch the video here on our YouTube channel. BTW: Great job from both the brothers: Russ with "FBI Apps Software Daily" and Rich working the "Tull News by FBI Apps" element by element. GF
