Social Media Edge Radio: Recent Episodes
SMEDGE
Founded in August 2008 by @thekencook with the intention of exploring social media solutions for business. We talk with special guests about social tech, theory, results, events, and more.
- Because they are real.
A couple of days ago I received a text message (SMS) to my phone informing me that my site was about to be de-listed from Google. It went on to say I needed to contact the sender within 3 days to keep my Google listing active. The good news is it would cost only $40 and they can assure me it won't happen if I hire them because they are Certified Google Search Partners. Yes, there are Google Partners. No, they do not have any special powers.
Today Mike and Ken (that's me) will discuss these types of scams and how to avoid becoming a victim.
Today's show is 30 minutes and you can either ask a question in the chat room or by calling in. Both require us to be live.

Always a huge thanks to Kevin MacLeod of INCOMPETECH for most of the music used during the show.
It's true, Ken met his granddaughter on Facebook a week before he met her in person.
Today Mike and Ken are discussing how deeply social media infiltrates our personal lives and how we can leverage that for our campaigns.
While we never suggest hijacking someone's life for your business purposes, it is important to know and understand how weaving into today's framework of living can help all of use together.

So, you're going to launch a new website and dominate the market! Possibly. If you really are then I bet there already has been a lot of planning, consulting, and even hiring of professional development teams. Not all ventures are huge, multi-million dollar launches--but even a solopreneuer needs to follow some simple guidelines to help reduce the likelhood of early termination.
Everything from message development to method of sharing the message can be critical for an early stage venture. Clarification and simplification of your message (you'd be surprised how many businesses I [Ken] have worked with over the years who cannot tell me in a short sentence what they do). Branding--colors designs--also is very important because it's the instant image of your message. Flow chart of how the process from interest to prospect to customer to referal agent progresses. And much more!
Both Mike and Ken have many years of experience working in business development with small to medium organizations. What we've learned from our own mistakes and the mistakes of our clients in spite of our direction could fill a volume. Today we're sharing it in a few minutes of talk time.
JOIN US LIVE and get in the chat room.
Always a huge thanks to Kevin MacLeod of incompetech.com for his amazing music.

It happens. You leave a comment on a business's page and they promise to hunt you down and destroy you. Or, you own a business and another business stalks your social media and pokes at you constantly. Here are some things Mike and Ken suggest you may try.
STARTING NEXT WEEK! Rapid Fire is going to become a "game show" segment. You'll be able to play along by Tweeting your answers to the Rapid Fire questions. We will announce the prizes sometime before that show on our Facebook page so be sure to LISTEN LIVE and have a chance to win!

Ken rates Mike's show idea 5 stars. Ken was going to talk about Business Bullying (like 1 star ratings for no apparent good reason) but Mike wanted to talk about the importance of and how to get Five Stars. It's going to be fun because Ken is going to confess his star rating criteria.
Mike and I are both small business development professionals. Much of what we do revolves around public perception of our clients. We talk with them about things like Yelp and Facebook ratings. I have just completed a fairly involved online ratings system for real estate agents which has a couple of twists and curves. Last year I developed a pretty intense condo review site for Toronto which allows star ratings.
Today we're going to discuss the importance of understanding the power of ratings, why the BBB is still in business, and what you can do to increase your likelihood of getting 5 stars. Not 4, not 2, but 5. So basically all of them. All the stars.
Whether you are using WordPress or any other Content Management System (CMS), a development framework, or just good old HTML, you're going to need a 24/7 on computer to serve it to your visitors. First we'll define what a server is--many people don't understand. Then we'll discuss how the HTML on the server you are using gets to the people who are viewing your pages and content. Then we'll discuss other attributes and services that come on the web server. Did you know, for example, there are mutliple "servers" on the one computer we call a server?
Join us LIVE to get in the chat room or phone in your questions. Ken and Mike have been doing this show for many years and we, along with our core group of loyal listeners, welcome you to listen and participate.

It's the age old question: How to I get people to buy my ____? The Internet changed marketing forever. It will never be exactly like it was in cold-calling, post-card mailing, Yellow Pages days. Even that we had nearly 100 years to figure out and people still struggled with it. So let's talk about the carnival barker or the hot-dog hawker. You'll see a common thread there and it's plainly seen: Sell what you have and nothing else.
"Hot dogs! Get your fresh red hots right here! Hot dogs!" That is ALL the hot dog hawker says.
"Cold beer! Get you ice cold beer here! Cold beer!" That is ALL the beer hawker says.
"Peanuts! Peanuts! Get your salty, crunchy peanuts!"
"Step right up, step right up! See the bearded lady! There's no one like her anywhere else in the world. She's the real deal, a one of a kind. Step right up!"
I think you're getting the point. Join Mike and me today as we discuss how these age old methods still work in the Internet age and why we've seen many people flop because they don't use them. We'll be talking about things like the 365 things to do that flopped for so many real estate agents. We'll be talking about major brands and how they succeed online. Then we'll be talking about how to use this method in Social Media without driving your friends nutso!

As always a big thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the use of his great music!
Most likely you have heard the acronym CMS. In case you did not know that stands for Content Management System. We're speaking about Web Content, of course, and really CMS - whether the big ones like WordPress, Drupal, Geeklog, Joomla, etc. or custom created ones as I do for many clients - are the rule instead of the exception today. We generally no longer need to have a web developer or content developer on hand to "make changes to our webpage" because it has become so simple to do so ourselves. In fact even though Mike and I perform a preponderance of services to WordPress users, we don't often get the chance to create many static websites. It does happen and we will discuss the why and what for about that.
Join us today as we discuss more indepth what a CMS, how it works, why they are valuable, and maybe even if you should have one or not. Listen live and get in the chat room or phone in to ask your questions during the show.

Today Ken and Mike will be discussing why we all need to disconnect; to step back and let things clear before re-engaging. We will address some of the fears of letting go of the control we believe connectivity provides us. We will also discuss how to deal with clients who expect you to be instantly available, 24/7 and how to prep all of your clients for your away time.
Both Mike and Ken spent the past weekend disconnected from the internet and fully engaged with nature. We will talk about how we handled that with our clients and prospects and how it affected us not only in business, but emotionally.
Ken is @thekencook
Mike is @mikemueller http://AreWeConnected.com
Always a big thank you to Kevin MacLeod for incidental background music used in the show and spots.
Join Ken and Mike today as they talk about scenarios wherein something toxic has poisoned business relationships and caused a loss of revenue either for the short term or the long term. We will be discussing some real world happenings and some theoretical possibilities of what to do when it happens to you, how to avoid it happening to you, and a good reason for not doing it to yourself!
We'll talk about "transparency", being "genuine", and simply being yourself .... with the appropriate filters!
Ken is @thekencook
Mike is @mikemueller
As always, very many thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the great music used in the intro, outro, and bumpers.
Podcasting is Broadcasting!
Ken & Mike are definitely veterans of the podcasting world. Today they will discuss why you must include a podcast in your marketing strategy and how to do it. Everything from tools, tips, and techniques. It doesn't matter what your business or line of work is, if you depend on getting information out to the public it's great to do it through a podcast. How do you pick a topic?Should you have guests?How do you find guests?Should it be live or just recorded?How should you distribute your content?What equipment do you need?Should you use a paid service? Join us while we're LIVE and get in the CHAT ROOM!

It's the perfect show for this episode because one of us will be on the road during the show. We all travel or have busy schedules from time to time so let's discuss how we keep connected to our clients when we are away from home base.

This is our 9th season and we're stoked to still be around with you! As always, thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the great bumper music.
On Friday, 12 May 2017, a ransomware attack named WannaCry was launched. It began on a single, compromised computer in Europe and almost immediately spread to over 230,000 infected computers in 130 countries. Three things made WannaCry an especially successful infection:
(1) it made use of stolen National Security Agency (NSA) technology called EternalBlue
(2) it focused on Windows computers which had not been security patched and
(3) in addition to the worm it also made use of automated Phishing emails. Although Microsoft had issued a security update on 14 March 2017 which would have stopped the worm, there were still enough systems which had not been properly updated to allow the attack to proliferate.
It all could have stopped before it started if everyone simply followed the basic rules of personal cyber defense:
(1) Always keep all software and your operating system updated (Mac, Linux, and Windows are all exploitable)
(2) Use extreme caution when dealing with email
(a) Never open an attachment you did not 100% expect to receive
(b) Always verify links sent to you in email (hover your mouse to check their destination before clicking - learn how to recognize suspicious URLs)
(c) Make sure your antivirus includes email scanning
(3) Keep a regular backup of all your sensitive data on a non-networked storage device (the cloud, a thumb-drive, a detachable external disk drive, etc.)
Update and back-up immediately regardless of which operating system you are using. While this first round is defeated there is a high likelihood of a re-launch as early as today, 15 May.
Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the great intro music!

- sorry for the link bait but not sorry.
There are links you are so compelled to click you either have to click them or move away from them to keep yourself from clicking them. They aren't all click bait. Some of them are simply great titles designed to play on YOUR emotions. Not everyone is compelled by the same words so a shotgun approach is used by link writers. Yes, there are link writers who get paid to write ... link titles.

Facebook Post Privacy and Sharing Changes - you may have notice the "Share" button on Facebook posts seems to have a mind of it's own. Here's how to understand a little better what is happening and how to make sure your posts can be shared.
We talk often about Landing Pages but really, do you need them? Here's why you probably do, what they should do for you and how you should use them.
Keyword Monitoring is still a thing, right? "Be number one on Google - call me now!" Riiiiiiight.
If you're on Twitter your DM inbox is probably hit regularly by people thanking you for following. Of course it is accompanied by a link to check out their special offer for Twitter friends. Likewise you probably get tagged or included in a group message on Facebook about someone's Open House...five states away. Or, someone has downloaded all of their LinkedIn contacts into email and sent out blasts about their job opening or the company they are recruiting for. Maybe you have WordPress or some other contact form on your website and you receive a constant stream of people who can get you into first position on Google. Yeah, we know because we do too.
Some people are quite sensitive about getting unsolicited messages. Others may not be. Some even turn them around for marketing purposes. "You market me, I market you back." If you have a story to share or would like to voice your comment please join us in the chatroom or phone in.
Well It Has Happened Again
This time it's a landscape company out of Marietta, Georgia who didn't have the kindest response to a complaint. Allegedly, the owner of the landscape company didn't feel compelled to wait at an intersection so he drove over the curb to get around the other vehicles and went on his merry way. One of the people in the traffic texted the number on the side of the truck with a complaint. The texter did not know this was the owner in the truck (although many landscaping companies are very small businesses) and was surprised at the response. In fact, quite shocked at the response. The text screenshot then made it's way onto social media in a busy city group on Facebook. The admin turned off comments at 108. The text of the response goes something like this: "Boo hoo *itch... I don't need your business. Sincerely, (landscape company!"

Mega churches don't get that way for beating people up. Superior organizations aren't known for abusing employees or customers (and if it happens, they fix it). Amazon did not come to be a giant (THE giant) by making demands but rather by meeting demands. Today, Ken and Mike will be discussing methods they have used and seen used to successfully attract and keep customers and in return receive kind words and even successful referrals.
While the term "social" is still the first name of "Social Media" it is possible for a business, your business, to positively impact the online community by brining knowledge, a peaceful experience, and generally "the warm fuzzies" to the stream. Especially at points of high turmoil, it is possible for even small business owners to make a big difference in how people feel about themselves and therefor doing business with that business person.
Join us LIVE on Tuesdays at 11AM Eastern/8AM Pacific (virtually) every week. If you would like to be a guest or if you know someone who would make a great guest, please contact Ken or Mike

Facebook, man! Facebook is hosting their first ever Community Admin event. This June 22 and 23rd in Chicago, Facebook founder and CEO "the Zuck" will be meeting with select admins to get down to the nitty gritty on how Facebook can empower us all to build better communities on the social media platform.
Pyotr Levashov of Kelihos has been arrested - this should shut down some spam and brute force attacks on websites.
Oh Pepsi! Wait, OH UNITED!

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Instagram .... what if they did not exist? If you're still not understanding what Social Media can do for you, your group, your business, your customers, your church, your election campaign, your mountain biking event, your high school reunion, perhaps you will after this discussion! You may be surprised what you can teach us, too.
Plus: there are thousands and thousands of themes. Most are free. So how do you know which one is right for you? Is there a way to find out which theme a competitor is using? Word of caution: just because you see the theme in the demo look a certain way never means yours will look that way "out of the box". Many of them are highly customized. Some are customized well beyond the capabilities of even advanced users and require experienced WordPress coders to match the look.
If you are listening live make sure to get in the chat room or call in to speak with Ken and Mike.

Great experiences and horrible experiences stand out. But, we wager the memories of average experiences just fade with time. For example, Ken has had great experiences with Amazon; order something you need and it comes as soon as that day. While we do not intened to simply discuss experiences they may come up as examples. Rather, we intend to think like customers and discuss things from blogging to social, and even mobile experiences from a customer's view point.
Join us in the discussio in the chat room or, if you have a relevant point of conversation, call the guest line and join us on the air.
As always we will have Mike's and Ken's featured tool segment as well as playing a round of Rapid Fire. To join in on Rapid Fire you can either get in the chat room and log your answers or phone in for a chance to play along.
Be sure to share this show with your social media connections. We know there is valuable information in here that many people would call a "webinar" and charge some crazy fee for. Hmmm, maybe we're doing it wrong!

Thanks to Kevin MacLeod for the music you hear at the beginning and end of the show.
Patrick is a friend of Mike and Ken through the social media world. He recently launched a new organization with a different perspective on some basic prinicples. What may be called a revival of business intelligence, Patrick has unleashed Prismana. Today we will hear from Patrick exactly what Prismana is, what it does, how it does it, and why you probably need it.
Prismana can effectively eliminate the need for the following: expensive external call tracking servicescomplicated and expensive funnel serviceslanding pages (yes, no need for them anymore)asking the question "how did you find us?" and expecting a clear answer The big benefits of Prismana are that it's a) easy to implement, b) easy to use, c) cost effective, and d) doesn't require you to change your systems or process to use it. You are not shackled to Prismana so if you stop using it nothing changes except you go back to not knowing what's driving your sales. There's no migration. There's no extra systems or expensive add-ons. It just does its thing and frees you up to do yours.

If you have been a listener since December of 2008, you'll remember the early days with Jason Crouch as co-host of Social Media Edge. Jason left the show a few years ago to focus on things that make better sense for his life, his family, and his service.
Join us as we catch up with Jason and find out how he's using social media in his multi-faceted world.
Ah, sweet WordPress plugins! If it were not for the occassional need for a custom WordPress plugin their probably would only be a 15 minute Social Media Edge Radio show (because that's how the time gets paid for!) So Ken and Mike know that plugins can be a little confusing, may not do exactly what you want, can be "manipulated" and should be used by everyone who has a WordPress website. As you should know we generally discuss self-hosted WordPress but some of these skills are crossover to WordPress.com sites as well.
If you have a question about a WordPress plugin this is the time to get in the chat room or call in to the show while we are on live. Essentially this is a 30 minute FREE WEBINAR about WordPress and WordPress plugins.

Mike put Ken on the spot for today's show. That's okay because this needs to be discussed. Twitter is very much alive and doing very well for many people. Today we're going to discuss how Ken still uses Twitter (even more than Facebook or LinkedIn) and gets a few leads with very little effort. Obviously if it works with very little effort to get a few leads then it stands to reason that by upping the effort the return will also increase.
You really need to listen live and get in the chatroom to get the full benefit. But, since most people do not listen live we will do our best to make sure you get what you need.
What you'll need for this show is a Twitter account, about 30 minutes of your time, and the desire to act on what you learn. Take the 60 day challenge and if you do not see results you'll be fully entitled to a refund of your cost of admission. (The lawyers say to make sure everyone knows that cost is $0.)
So much for evergreen content! I bet you know what today is.
Join Mike and Ken as we discuss many of the things we love about digital marketing, sales, community building, and more. Since we're both young at heart and have decades of experience at it, we're sure you're going to agree with many of these. We'd really like for you to join us in the chat room or even phone in and share some of the things you love about social media, blogging, eCommerce, data intelligence, and more.

News, news and more news! A lot of things are happening in the social network world right now and we don't have time to cover even all of the news. We're going to give you just the top news most relevant to you to get our day started. Then of course Mike and Ken will have our tools to share with you as well. The meat we're serving today is going to be about syndicating your content.
Every blogger knows when you are first getting started building your community online it can be very difficult to get readers, shares, likes, and comments. Even if you've been doing it for some time it can still be very difficult. You really have to work it or have lots of bunny pictures.
Syndication can help with that. By automatically posting your content to the social networks you can make a big impace. We're also going to talk about the need to do much more on those social networks than simply push your content out. Having nothing but automated posts can have a negative impact - so there is a balance you will need to find!
Be sure to get to SocialMediaEdge.com and subscribe for Smokin' Hot Social Media News - the spam free - occasional email with crucial information about your online business.
We know - the guru told you back in 2012 that SEO was dead, dead, dead. They probably also charged anywhere from $29.95 to $3000 for that info. Chances are some of them even told you blogging was dead, dead, dead. Well, we're here to tell you that they are both more alive than ever. Sure, the SEO landscape has changed many times. There's one thing that remains: Google (et al) want to deliver the very best search results they can for their customers. Their customers are anyone who types a search phrase in that search bar or who visits a page containing an AdWords campaign. You? Oh, as the publisher - your'e the product.
Today we're going to discuss something that is more maligned and falsified than just about any other topic relevent to online marketing and especially content marketing.
Join Ken and Mike as we discuss how to use combinations of keywords both in content and in purchasing online ads to make the best of your dollar. Learn how to cast a wide net and how to hunt with a spear. Learn the difference and why the cost/reward ratio can change drastically. Most of all, learn how to learn more about this topic because there is no way in 30 minutes to have you become a Master Guru!

On last week's episode, Season 9 Episode 1, we talked a little about the sales funnel, the sales cycle, and what to do with leads once you have them. Mike new right where to go for a great follow up so he invited Chris Drayer of Revaluate to join us for a segment this week. Revaluate is a real estate lead assistant program which helps you do more than "just stay in touch" with prospects. The idea does not have to end with real estate agents, though. What we learn today about the process can cross industries. Listen in as we discuss other hot topics, online marketing news, and chat with Chris!
From Revaluate:
Beer, Big Data & Real Estate Sales Cycles
Everybody moves - but the sales cycle can vary by decades. If they keep in touch with them, agents know when people are thinking of moving.
Previously, the best way to stay in touch with people is probably to grab coffee or beers with them every so often. However, these days real estate agents typically have about 2,000 contacts comprised of friends and family, past customers, networking contacts and leads they've purchased.
That's too much caffeine and beer for a mere mortal - plus, it's time and cost prohibitive.
Revaluate layers in big data intelligence and tracks your contacts to tell you who's most likely to move in the next 3-6 months - so you can grab a beverage with those prospects that are most likely to move. Revaluate sorts out the prospects from your contacts - helping you focus on the shortest sales cycles possible.
Welcome to the beginning of our NINTH year. Yes, 9. We started in 2008 and we're still here.
Today we start out with the Tool of the Week. Mike and Ken will each share their pick of a tool this week. It may be a tool they use, one they recommend, or just one for fun. Get in the CHAT ROOM and share yours! Have you subscribed to the Smokin' Hot Social Media News? DO it! Subscribe here. No Spam Ever.
Our topic today is your leads. We talk regularly about how to get leads and not so regularly about what to do with them once you have them. Whether they are self-generated leads, referals, or purchased leads - they are all valuable. How do you keep them interested long enough to close the deal with them? It's a topic for the ages and we're kicking of season 9 with just this topic.
Yet more feux pas have gone into the records this year. It seems some folks will never learn -- which is great show fodder for Ken and Mike as we look for entertaining yet relevent information to discuss on the show. As we look back at past shows we'll re-cap things we have learn from our guests and while researching the show. Of course we'll also discuss current and relevent news to help us all be better users of social media for marketing, sales, personal, and doing so safely.

Like it or not, 2017 will be here in less than 2 weeks. Now that this episode is no longer evergreen, let's see how we do with our projections!
Virtual Reality is already on the scene and during today's episode we're going to discuss how it can impact online marketing and social media. Coupled with the continuing exodus of desktops and even laptops, we're sure the changes being ushered in for 2017 will dramatically impact your online activities: both business and personal.

We all read blogs and we all watch videos. When is it best to use one instead of the other?
Today we will discuss the power of video, the power of text, why one may be better than the other, and in which circumstances. YouTube is huge and other video repositories are growing constantly. But is video any better than text? Are there times when both should be used in the same post, article, or page?

You've probably heard the term "SSL". Today we talk about how it impacts your future, and your today. Because today we discuss SSL - what it is, why it is important, how we're basically being herded into it, what to do about it.
We'll discuss the what, why, and how, as well as the reasons Secure Socket Layers should, and soon must, be a part of your web presence. While we don't intend to get too "techy" for the average user, there is plenty to be learned about SSL outside of this short show.
If you have questions about SSL, your website, your visitors, and how all of those could impact your activity, results, and business, don't hesitate to get in the chat room or call (if you're listening live) or to contact Ken or Mike outside of the show.

Everyone knows it's impossible to read every post, tweet, and comment. So how do you get the information you want? Or maybe more importantly, how do you get the information you need?
Today, Ken & Mike will discuss just this topic.
We will look at ways we have used and perhaps ways we will discover during today's episode to filter, cull, group, list, and compartmentalize information. With several thousand followers, readers, and viewers, it becomes very imoportant to "sniff out" the information that needs a prompt response. Likewise, when looking for information, it helps to know how to filter out the noise.
Ken & Mike are both web developers who work completely independent from each other but on similar types of projects. Today they will discuss which technologies and tools they are most thankful for and why. They will also include short discussions about how they use them in their daily work and how it improves their services.

Knowing when to post which means time of day, day of the week, special days of the year, and more can boost results by large numbers.
Today, join Ken and Mike as we discuss this topic, some tools used to help, and add your ideas by calling in or joining use in the chatroom (if you're listening live - because in this case, timing is everything!).
Whether blogging or advertising you have a target audience. Sometimes we set very wide horizons hoping by the number of exposures we reap some results. At other times we set a very narrow horizon and aim for specific needs or desires. But, how do you determine your audience and then how to you decide on what to write?
Mike and Ken will discuss this evergreen topic today on the show. Be sure to get in the chat room if you are listening live.

Ken & Mike have probably discussed this topic as much as any other: When something is posted about your business or you, whether it is true or not, how do you respond?
Fortunately we know a professional who can really bring some light to this topic. We'll be joined today by Brandie Young of Marketing TBD and her Twitter profile says it:

Have a presence online? Is it mobile ready? If not you may as well be driving a steam powered car to the office. Mobile ready is something everyone should have been by 2008. If you are not, this is time to play catch up - and quickly.
Here are the answers (and more) to points like:
What is “Mobile Ready”?
What needs to be Mobile Ready?
Why should content be Mobile Ready?
How do you know if you’re Mobile Ready?
Does Google care about Mobile Ready?
How do you get Mobile Ready?
Maybe you would feel better if we asked them in Latin? Just kidding. But for real, it's time to catch up. Now.
Violence Against Women? Bullying? Threats? On a real estate event bus?
Rob Hahn is a well known and respected management consultant to the real estate industry. He is also known for plain talk and not pulling punches when a direct hit can save people from myths, misconceptions, or themselves.
Rob recently published a blog post titled The Biggest Pile of $#!7 I’ve Stepped In: A Followup and it started a little conversation firestorm that soon became hot! He'll be joining us today to continue the conversation and we hope you'll pipe up too. We've even extended today's scheduled episode time to accomodate.
Part of this ongoing saga Ken would like to focus on are found in these two paragraphs:
"Second, since I posted, Lab Coat Agents has gone on a censorship spree. Dozens, if not hundreds, and possibly more, people have been kicked out of the Facebook Group for raising the issue. Entire threads have been deleted. One person reported that comments are being deleted as fast as they’re posted.
They have every right to do whatever they wish with their Facebook Group, but as a third party who offered them a chance to recount their version of the Conversation, this doesn’t look good for their credibility."
I recommend you read the post(s) then listen to the show. Don't say TLDR because this is critical thinking fodder at its best. Yes, it's over the top but it emphasizes all of the components of the self-destruction cycle seen in textbook style social personality flubs.
They say Kim Kardashian was taped up and tossed into a bathtub before being robbed because of her activities on social media. If true, this is a dramatic representation. But the reality is you may become a victim as a result of posting to social media. Today we discuss possible ways to avoid you or your family members becoming a victim.
I just returned from a 5 day deployment to help with the response to Hurricane Andrew. On thing I did when I had time was scour the social web for people who said they had evacuated. The list was extensive. Fortunately there are no stories of homes being looted in my area of operations, but there certainly was plenty of opportunity!
What are your experiences? Do you have any advice? Call in and let us know!

We will be joined this morning by Randy Barnes who has poked at direction and branding many times and has enjoyed good success while he moved others to the back burner, or the round file. If he joins we'll be discussing a recent success that he had with a project called Hamburger Square.
Some years ago we had a "Guru" from the real estate marketing world on the show and he and Ken had a little on air battle royale over "re-creating yourself (or your brand) in Social Media". That was some 6 or 7 years ago and Ken's version is alive and well. When something is not working, change it. That change may even include a re-branding of your services, a re-direction of your personal focus, or even a new "identity" for your business or yourself. The idea that we cannot re-label the things we do is absurd.
"There are many reasons why a professional services firm might consider rebranding. Most of them are firmly rooted in a need to reposition the firm in the marketplace." - hingemarketing.com

You may be thinking one of two things: (A) What is Flipboard? (B) Why do we need Yet Another social marketing channel? You're in luck because today's guest Janette Speyer is going to answer those questions and more! I first heard of Janette on Twitter (shocker) and began to pay attention to what she was saying about Flipboard. Admittedly, I had not quite thought of the use she is going to present to us today. So for all of our marketing and Real Estate listeners you will not want to miss this episode.

Today we're going to be discussing using YouTube videos, simple ones, to generate traffic for your website. We'll talk a little about equipment, topics, and the process of actually creating the video. We'll discuss content length including intro and credits as well as the somewhat scary "background music". We will also discuss other editing applications and techniques including the built-in YouTube editor.
But we will also discuss a couple of widely known "secrets" to getting people to click through to your site
The powerful art of storytelling.
What is it we're actually doing on social media and blogging? We are attempting to tell our story and get other people to follow along and join in. Here's our chance to learn from someone who is doing just that.
Join us LIVE on Tuesday, August 9, at 11AM Eastern/8AM Pacific as we are joined by…
Chris Strub is the first man to live-stream and Snapchat in all 50 U.S. states; and he did it with purpose. From May 15 to Aug. 21, 2015, Chris volunteered with a different youth organization in each state, documenting and sharing his adventure with the world using various social mediums. He’s currently working with Humana in Louisville to help community organizations improve their social storytelling skills. His book, 50 States, 100 Days: The Book, is available now at his website, TeamStrub.com.
Chris is going to answer questions about live streaming using social channels like Blab, Snapchat, and others. His forte is what we need, “storytelling skills”.
Please join us live, if you can, and get in the chatroom. We’ll be on Blog Talk Radio live and the iTunes store (for free) after the show.

Social Media and Blogging definitely are not the same. They can, however, be made to work together. How does that happen? Tune in to find out!
George Santayana, the famous modern era philosopher and essayist, said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The same goes for Social Media failure. We rely very much on "gurus" who are generally only regurgitating what they heard or read from some other "guru" who possibly extrapolated their own opinion about social vectoring and success. Forget that. Data ruins many great million sellers.
Today we're talking about how to find out which Tweets and Posts work best for you so you can repeat that success in the future.We'll be looking at the built in analytics of a few social media giants plus talking about some 3rd party solutions you can use for free. And then possibly some which have fees associated.
Some of my clients (I'm Ken) would not be my clients if I could not tell theme with good accuracy where their sales come from. So we'll be using real world examples. Mike will also bring a depth of knowledge on this topic to the discussion today.
Hey, if you listn live - get in the chat room!
Got a particular home listing you want to push to social and need to know where the clicks come from? Listen in!
Marketers love to ride the tide of public awareness. Sometimes it's a good things. Other times it can really bite back!
Take Pokemon GO for one example. It seems benign enough, but is it?
What about congratulating a sports team or athlete on a victory or great feat?
What about #those #awesome #hastags, jump on board?
And a perennial favorite; politics, religion, and social justice.
What about "Likes" and "Shares"? Have you ever followed a business or business person online who's primary source of stream content is shares, memes, and likes?
Ken Cook and Mike Mueller have been active in the WordPress community for many years and share their experiences regularly. Today we will discuss plugins we use for ourselves and our clients and we highly recommend for you.
Thanks for listening!
We have opened this topic many times over the years on Social Media Edge Radio. Today we take it a little more in-depth and help you find graphics you can use for whatever purpose you wish and completely without worry*.
During today's episode Ken and Mike will present several resources for free, royalty free, public domain images that you can use in your blog or social media. We will also discuss ways to edit these graphics using online tools that are also free to use. Got questions? Join us and get in the chat room.
*If there is any such thing, this is it.
Wait! Don't touch that POST BUTTON! Is your image "Social Ready"?
Today we're going to talk about the importance of prepping your photos and graphics for social media. We'll discuss file types, compression, color density, watermarks, exif data, and more.
Join KEN COOK and MIKE MUELLER as we complete all the necessary steps to go from NO WEBSITE to a FULLY FUNCTIONING WordPress website during today's 30 minute broadcast. This is for the person who has little to no experience and possibly has never had a website of their own.
Tag, you're it! #nothtatway - and not that way either. What if I tag @DeltaAirlines in a post I am writing about travel services? Or if I mention @Microsoft in a tweet about cyber security for Windows? Most of us already know when I tag someone the people who follow them will possibly see that, too. Let's discuss!
What about buying ads in social?
Mike tells us that Snap will be launching in network ads. Almost every other social media network already incorporates ads as a regular offering of services. Cost versus reward is always the ticket.
Join us and let's learn more - together!
Social Automation is embraced by most companies in some form or another. Today we discuss the yuck and the plusses of Social Media Automation as it applies to you, our listeners and friends.
Today we're going to be discussing something important to all of us who do marketing online. If you've ever heard anyone say email marketing is dead you've heard some silly talk.
You may have heard the term "Community Building". You've certainly heard the word "blogging". What are they and what are the differences? Which is better for your business? How do you do Community Building?

Back in the day we called it flaming. Call it what you want, it stings and can be detrimental to your business - and personal stress level. You post an opportunity for your clients and someone opens up with nasty comments. Or, even without provocation someone attacks your business or you personally online.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
That's what we will be discussing today. We'll be covering how to discover it before it gets out of hand, how you may want to respond, when it may have turned into a legal issue.
When you want to do business on Facebook you need a presence there. You can (you're not supposed to) use your personal account page for business. There are a few difference possibilities to choose from when creating a new Facebook presence. That's what we're talking about today!
Page? Group? What are all these choices???
If you've ever thought, "I wonder how to ______" and it had to do with blogging, social media, online sales, SEO, or related topics then you may find your answer on this episode.
Join Mike Mueller and Ken Cook as we discuss the topics that make things happen!
Join Mike & Ken today as we discuss the security of your WordPress website. If you make the mistake of thinking you'll never be a target you may just be proven wrong. Hackers at some levels just want access to websites. They don't care how popular they are or what they contain. In fact, often times their only goal is to hijack your site and add their own content. Often it's advertisement for counterfeit drugs, supplements, or even legitimate products.

"The No BS Realtor in Greater Charlotte NC. International speaker who uses real estate for comedic material and hyper-effective sales training."
I (Ken) have known Leigh since 2008 both online and on rare, but treasured, occasion in sharing geographical space. We're a little too much alike. She's outspoken, fearless, focused, and prone to hilarity. And re-reading that it sounds as if I paid myself a huge compliment! The good thing about Leigh is you know she's going to say something worth hearing. The exciting thing is you don't know if it's going to be dead-pan serious or comedic...I'm sure the listener will gather that during her time with us on the show!
This from REALTORmag.com fits just perfectly, "She is also a longtime speaker on real estate issues. Before she started working in real estate, her sales career included liquor, stocks, and chain saws." Yep, chain saws and liquor.
Today's show will be fast paced, short and pointed: just for you...and me.
You're probably not going to believe some of the stats we unveil in this episode. These numbers are crazy! How do you overcome it? You don't, you work WITH it! Let's talk about what that means.

Join Mike and Ken today at 11AM Eastern/8AM Pacific. We're going to discuss a couple of topics that can make a big difference in your results from social and blogging. Not what we "think", rather what the data proves again and again.
Let’s talk about POPUPS and PUSH notifications…we love to hate them but every serious study of the data speaks loudly in favor of them. I suppose we can add email DRIP campaigns, too. link Apps that push notifications are opened 27% more often than apps that don’tClick-through rate on in push is 28% average (TWENTY EIGHT!)Apps with push retain 46% of users for at least three months (apps that don’t retain just 13%) Instagram Officially Adds Support for Multiple Accounts link (This is big for me because I have multiple clients who use Instagram – no more logging out and logging back in)

Join Mike & Ken as we welcome Bill Risser, VP of Digital Strategy at Chicago Title and talk about podcasting. Imagine that; PODCASTING! Who does that anymore?
Bill got interested in Podcasts a year ago and decided to start his own. In a stroke of genius he decided to choose the interview format to not be another advice show. (We think that may be a great way to roll.) In his role with Chicago Title, he has already been asked to help with new podcasts. His advice? "Always be learning and it helps to be curious."

On today's show Ken and Mike will discuss specific techniques to improve Facebook exposure for business pages using so-called "dark posts" with our special guest Christina Etheridge of Leads And Leverage (Facebook). High value for listener's who already have or want to have a Facebook business presence. We will also talk about the importance of having a website and whether or not there is any value to having an email list in today's spam sensitive environment.
Christina is an online lead generating guru. Everything she teaches is tried and true, created and implemented over the past two decades in her own businesses. With her vast experience in real estate marketing, her love of Facebook and her experience leading a successful real estate team, she's out to fill the void created when agents realize the urgent need to constantly and consistently generate leads online yet find they don't have the time or knowledge to get the highest return. She founded LeadsAndLeverage.com in order to bridge the gap between social media and reality by helping real estate agents get the conversation started.
As always the show will be live from 11AM Eastern/8AM Pacific for 30 minutes and available on iTunes or here on Blog Talk Radio for future listens.

LIKE US ON FACEBOOK My estimate is there have been over $5,000,000,000 wasted by small business people through paying for services that did not create sales and generated only bills. IF YOU DON'T MAKE A PROFIT from your efforts you are bleeding money. Bleeding means that's a bad thing. Join me, Kenny Cook, along with Mike Mueller, Jeremy Blanton and Lisa Oden as we talk about how to target conversions (usually sales) instead of targeting traffic.
So, you have a Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Pinterest, Twitter, and other accounts. Why? What do you do with them? Today we're going to examin Social Media Optimization and how it applies to your business world without it being obfuscated by your social world.
Bottom line? If you have ten thousand hits a month and 0 conversions, unless you are an advertiser support site, your mission as a small business operator or entrepreneur has not been successful. For us the bottom line is the bottom line and that means conversions. Let's talk about traffic that converts even if it is small in number of visits if the conversion rate is high we're succeeding.
If you have a Wordpress.org or Wordpress.com these are some hot tips you really need to know! These will help your reasch with search enginesby improving the user experience of your visitors.

Chances are if you operate any sort of blog or website you really do want your site or at least page to be number one on Google for keywords that convert. More than any other challenge I have in working with new SEO and content clients is "fixing their thinking" on keywords that convert. Otherwise it is just traffic and there are many ways to tell if your SEO campaign is working. Today we talk about list building, authoring and a little more understanding of "the phrase that pays" when it comes to search engine optimization.

Be it good or bad nothing travels any faster than information on the Internet. Especially in social media.
Let's just call this episode "By The Seat Of Our Pants" because sometimes that's how we fly! If you want to know the origins of that phrase check it out here "flying by the seat of your pants".
Today's guests are Janet Fouts and Danny Brown. In fact after Ken came up with the topic for this week's show (actually weeks ago) both guests mentioned the need for disconnecting. Janet mentioned it in a Twitter chat and Danny made a pointed posting about it on Google+ which led to the invitation for each to join us. Let's call this episode "Disconnecting Gracefully". Everyone who has had any presence online for any time knows it can get messy. Businesses have them, people have them, Hollywood types have them, politicians certainly have them. We call them trolls. Some people seem to derive pleasure from bringing others misery. They agree with nothing, hate every service, find fault in every person, business and precept. Sooner or later they take it online and into the public and every comment is an accusation or endictment and every question is an inqisition. So what to do? There comes a time for personal and business when it's time to consider the option of disconnecting and denying that person further access to your other connection. In other words it's time to unfriend or otherwise block.
"The Cloud". Most people are familiar with the term as it relates to computing but not everyone knows exactly why it is here, why it is not going away and why everyone already uses it to some degree and that use will only be growing. Join us live today as we round table this topic as it applies to your business and even your personal life. Image courtesy of Pakorn / FreeDigitalPhotos.net

How long are people spending on your site? What's the difference? Join us today and let's explore and discover!
What matters most how many visitors you have or how many sales you make? Truly this depends on the purpose of your site but even if you're only blogging for ad dollars you still need conversions. At the end of the day whether it is a sale, a subscriber or just a reader conversions are crucial. We will not be addressing "Time On Site" (upcoming show) or "Bounce Rate" (another upcoming show) today but we will be presenting on and discussing Clicks That Count.

Who has influenced you? How do you influence others? Today we'll be talking about influence. Because of Clint Miller's influence on us and this show (he was a BIG encouragement to start the show and a BIG supporter of it the remainder of his life). Clint and his family lost his battle against testicular cancer on this day one year ago. That is sad but the story that goes with it is inspiring and influencing. We remember Mr. Crint!

Don't you just love sensationalized headlines? How many times have you read, "radio is dead", "tv is dead", "SEO is dead" (I love that one from a "tech savvy" person so many people love because of his charisma ... certainly not tech expertise). Today we talk about blogging. Why blog? What should you expect from blogging? How and where to blog. What should you blog about?

Everyone has an idea. I know, I hear them. You should hear some of the ideas I get pitched! For many years I have provided digital platforms, including web design and development, from paper concepts which now includes web, mobile and stand-alone content. One of the biggest challenges for people has long been to get the idea out of their head and into mine and my associates who do the paint and polish. Today we'll talk about a beta start-up that just may make this a bit easier. The promise is this will be a great way to share ideas with web developers (and mobile/software) we hope!

Social Media Edge Radio In mid-summer Ken Cook decided to share with his Twitter friends some of the tips and techniques he was learning by using the service. He would review news and technical releases and try new tools then talk about them on a podcast. Those first shows were a true "podcast" recorded in his office then uploaded to a server and he invited others to listen. Back on August 18th 2009 Ken learned about Blog Talk Radio and decided to give it a try. Those first few painful shows were fifteen minutes long and called Twitter Tuesday. They were broadcast live from Noon to 12:15 on Tuesdays usually to an empty chat room and a live audience of 3 or 4 listeners. In December that year Jason Crouch joined as co-host of Social Media Edge Radio and the audience continued to grow. Mike Mueller joined in late winter of 2010 and Jeremy Blanton joined in Spring of 2010. We've had many, many wonderful guests and you can see them all at http://socialmediaedge.com/past-guests/ thanks to Mike Mueller's diligent efforts in keeping the Wall of Fame up to date. A BIG THANKS to everyone who has ever listened or sponsored the show - you are why we are still growing!

So you find someone interesting whom you follow on Twitter. ALmost immediately you receive an automated DM (Direct Message) which reads; "NABMarketing uses TrueTwit validation service. To validate click here: http://truetwit.com/vy172772717 " From all appearances the user doesn't even know you've followed them UNTIL you've validated yourself. So you click the link and find a somewhat mysterious form and text - and I challenge any reader who isn't already familiar with the service to tell me what you're doing on that "validation page". Join us LIVE with your questions and comments - get in the chat room - when Go True Twit joins us to explain, convince and convert - because we're not supporters.

Paul Berry is one of those guys I always want to get to hang out with but it's unlikely we get the chance unless we end up on the same team somewhere. His history in development and positioning is not too unlike mine. Odd since I apparently am old and he much younger. In 1995 Paul was Project Manager/Developer at Know-ware consulting for companies such as DeutscheBanc and Morgan Stanley. Honing his skills there he soon moved on to Palo Alto Software ... read more Entering the new millennium moved Paul to Related Capital as VP, Charter Mac as CTO and the Huffington Post as CTO and currently he serves on the Digital Advisory Board for American Express's Open and as founder at SoHo Tech Lab. But what we want to talk with Paul about today is his current status as founder and CEO at RebelMouse. I'm not going to tell you about RebelMouse here. But I will tell you, like everything else, it may take you a few minutes to "get it". I'm "getting it" and I'm pretty sure you will, too. The best news is we have THE Rebel Mouse on the air, live, answering questions about RebelMouse to help us get it and get it right. Join us live at noon eastern on July 10 at Social Media Edge Radio.

We’ll also be talking about some changes over at Facebook, again.

Come on in, we’ll walk you through it. Hangout With Us on Google Plus LIVE And don’t forget to hang out with us on Google Plus. Jeremy, Mike, Lisa and I are going to be hanging out on Google Plus during the show so listen on Blog Talk Radio and watch on G+. Scary, eh?

If anyone guarantees results they're lying. They can guarantee your money back or something else if you don't get results but they cannot guarantee results when it comes to social media marketing - too many variables! In today's show the crew will be discussing - and presenting - social media techniques which have resulted in results. As for the rest of the crew I do not know what they will be saying but I (Ken) will be presenting a technique I have used for years and for one client alone it has generated over 5,000 leads in less than ten years.

What really works in Social Media Marketing? We used to talk about the noise in Social Media and now there is too much noise about the noise - it's noisy up in here! So, let's cut to the chase. The panel is only going to discuss news, tools and techniques that work today. You can expect to hear about: Repinning - how to get it and how to direct it back to you. Empire Avenue - missions to kill! (the competition) Twitter - why following back is a good thing to do and how to manage the noise. Google+ Hangouts - and how they bring value to the community which gives back to you. Now that's the kind of giving back a capitalist can sink their teeth into!

Today we're talking about tools that work for you (social media tools of course!) Jason Crouch is presenting on Blogging. As one of the most subscribed to bloggers on Active Rain and and avid blogger (with results) on other platforms Jason knows how to get the readers involved, allow them to truly experience what he writes and to develop a relationship with them as a result. Mike Mueller will be talking about Lists. In fact he alludes to it from time to time on the show but now he is going to tell why, where and how to build lists that payoff for the small business (or big business) person looking at social media as a marketing platform. Jeremy Blanton will be talking about video. No surprise there since Jeremy has recently been super charged by what video is and can be. He will be talking about how he uses video and how you can, too, to promote you business. Lights, camera ACTION! Lisa Oden will be talking about Droid (as she says "of course") and how she uses it in engaging with others, business functions and staying on top of all that will help her business and the business of those she consults with. Ken Cook will be talking about SEO. Having been directly involved in some search engine architecture and development dating back to the pre-Google days and being a part of the Gossamer Threads project will give us the opportunity to discuss the realities of SEO and how to use real data before making the decision to do something because "it sounds like it oughta work."

No running. No smoking. No standing. No shirt, no shoes, no service. No skateboarding on sidewalk. No Tweeting? In case you missed it actress Jenn Hoffman was banned from the Chateau Marmont for tweeting. But really was it “that” she was tweeting or “what” she was tweeting. And if it was “what” where is the line? We know airlines, mostly, want all mobile devices off during takeoff and landing, some hospitals ban mobile devices in telemetry, and there are dozens of places where photography and video is off limits. So where should those places be? Join hosts Ken Cook & friends as they explore social media for newbies and grizzled veterans alike.
