Most common mistakes in social media revealed By John Phanchalad

john-phanchalad-27Social media is a powerful marketing tool that can make your brand a good credibility in the online industry. But if used wrongly, this may have a negative impact on your business.

Posting inspirational quotes is a great help because it can be shared and might go viral.

Late Response – social media is a two-way medium, if your clients want to talk to you, answer them quickly, specially complaints, they will give your clients the impression that you are professional.

Having impersonal or automated response –  People in social media want to interact with “real” people, if you respond to them using a scripted response, you will miss the opportunity to have a connection to your buyers.

The Flaming Idea By John Phanchalad

john-phanchalad-26They say, content is a king when it comes to SEOing and internet marketing. For users and bloggers will thank Google for launching updates: Panda, Penguin, and Humming Bird. These updates are created to fight spam and reign quality content. But for SEOers, the updates are the monsters, especially those who are good in writing.

Google is aiming to be a citation source like the traditional library. And the use of keywords should act like a footnote that will lead readers to the source of a content. However, people had become abusive and aimed to get more links in order to rank their websites. The result, almost everyone had forgotten to create informative content and search engine became a cluttered place because of improper use of keywords and links.

With the help of Google updates, it encourages people to provide informative content about their products and industry-not only for selling, but educating their customers as well. So, how to make your website rich in information, but entertaining to read?

You can get the attention of the viewer if you know how to get their emotions. Talk about trending topics or news. Getting sources is much easier now with the help of social media. You can make conversation if you start a thread about the latest news. However, make sure to choose a topic which is related to your niche.

Overall, when writing a blog or an article, the only key to attract people online is to build a catchy, fresh content. Anything new inflames curiosity.

It May Be Time To Capitalize Your Fan Base With Internet Marketing By John Phanchalad

john-phanchalad-25There are a few primary purposes of internet marketing. The eventual objective is albeit sales or leads generation but in the interim time, a company would aim for increased traffic, larger exposure, fans on social networks, likes or shares and reposts on social media sites and endorsements along with referrals or good word of mouth on the internet in general. While companies would try and achieve these interim targets, it is also necessary to capitalize on the fan base. In other words, internet marketing is as much about creating exposure as it is about cashing in on the subscriptions that you generate.

John Phanchalad CEO of the successful JPDigital Tech, illustrates the aforementioned concept with a simple example. A magazine or newspaper primarily functions on the basis of subscriptions. Unless there are enough subscriptions, there is no viability in the existence of the newspaper or magazine. The initial investment is put in place and contents are put together to generate a buzz, following which the company expected to generate substantial subscriptions so the business venture becomes viable. Once there are enough subscriptions, the magazine or the newspaper sells advertising space which is what actually makes profit for the enterprise. Very few dailies or monthly issues make money purely on the basis of subscriptions. It is the advertisements, sponsorships and other funding concepts that make money for the enterprise.

John Phanchalad advocates that companies should look at internet marketing from a similar perspective. When you have enough fans on your social networks, sufficient number of people following you on social media sites or regularly reading your blog, you may have several subscribers and may have enough traffic to your site. But unless you can capitalize this fan base or subscriber base and convert them to leads or sales then your entire internet marketing campaign is going downhill.

There is a time when you cannot focus on growing your fan base. You have to capitalize on it. Even if you enjoy an ever growing fan base, you wouldn’t get anything in return if they do not become customers. There is a probability that the increased exposure will help your brand value and increase sales indirectly but for small to medium enterprises, the impact is not so huge that it can lead to the success of an internet marketing campaign.

John Phanchalad says that there should be a planned approach to convert the fans or subscribers to leads or customers.

Why Learning Marketing Skills in-House Could Benefit Your Business By John Phanchalad

john-phanchalad-24Most companies will decide to call upon the likes of John Phanchalad from JP Digital Tech for their online marketing needs. At some point, they’ll start to consider employing these skills for themselves; whether this is through training or employing the right person.

Bringing marketing skills into the business could mean better value for money and a superior campaign, though.

Save Money

Small businesses have slim budgets and need to save as much money as they possibly can. By bringing the skills into your company and not having to pay a premium for outsourcing the work, you’ll save money and have more to place into your marketing efforts. More financial resources usually mean better results.

Understanding the Company

According to John Phanchalad (JP Digital Tech), nobody knows your company better than you do. No matter how much you tell an external marketing agent, they’ll never know more about your company than you.

Since you understand your company better, if you have the marketing skills you’ll be better able to craft a successful campaign.

Plus, if you have need to make some fast changes to your campaign, you can do this. Due to communication issues and various factors involving the specific package you order, you need to provide an external marketing agent with some notice.

Reliance

Sometimes it’s better for a business to have control over its own market affairs so it can increase efficiency and have peace of mind.

As already mentioned, a company that manages its own marketing can change direction at a moment’s notice. Furthermore, it doesn’t need to explain itself to a third party and there’s no confusion over what it wants.

Flexibility is Important to Branding Success By John Phanchalad

john-phanchalad-23As internet marketers, we often plan too much. Even though John Phanchalad, who is the CEO of the successful JP Digital Tech consulting services, has told us that we need to be careful in what we post on the Internet, he also recommends that we need to be spontaneous sometimes.

We need to be able to react to whatever is going on around us and change our course, if needed, If you notice, the big brands will often do this. If something new enters their market, they will need to change course and form a new strategy to deal with it. If the economy changes, they may need to make changes. If there is something new in pop culture that is getting everyone’s attention, then they need to embrace that and may need to change their advertising.

A good marketer, like John Phanchalad (JP Digital Tech), knows that being flexible and responding to what’s going on around you is an important part of successful branding.

You may just change your mind about the direction your brand is taking. Maybe your life didn’t turn out the way you wanted it to, but you can embrace that and let it guide the direction your personal brand will take.

Every milestone in your personal life will change your personal brand, and although some of these events were not planned, nor wanted, you have to accept what happened and recreate your brand.
