“If you deal with employees as though they are cogs in a machine, you will get only that part of them that is most like a cog in a machine: the part that shows up on time, does exactly what’s asked – no more no less – and goes home.

Everything You Need to Know About Online Copyright

amexopenforum:

Internet content isn’t all free, and not everything is yours for the taking just because you found it online. Get the legal facts about some common copyright myths:

Myth No. 1: It’s on the Internet, so anyone can use it.

Actually… “This one is unwaveringly and unequivocally false,” writes OPEN Forum contributor Erika Napoletano. “Just because you find an image or blog post or article or video and you like it, you may not have permission to share it.”

Myth No. 2: There wasn’t a copyright notice on it, so it’s not copyrighted.

Actually… “By U.S. copyright law, copyright is granted to a content creator the moment an idea is fixed into any tangible form,” says Kandis Koustenis, an intellectual property attorney with Cloudigy Law.

Consumer behaviour?

saschamanagement:

Consumer behaviour… One of my favourite topics to talk about. I work in a shop and every time I finish a shift of working in the store I am amazed by the customers. Why do they buy this product and not the other one? How can we market this product in a way that the customers also want to buy this? It is a difficult subject, believe me, customers are sometimes very difficult to understand. For example, for weeks we had clients asking for a certain product, but we did not have the product. Because of all the demand the purchasing manager went looking for a supplier who could sell us the certain product. As soon as we had the product in the shop, nobody ever asked for it again…

I do not only work in the shop, I also help with the online marketing. We have advertising campaigns on Facebook, for example. I often try to find tips about consumer behaviour, hoping that it will attract more costumers. These are some fun facts I found:
- People prefer shorter line length, 45 to 72 characters per line. This seems very logical to me since I myself really scan-read on the internet, I almost never like very long texts.
- People can only remember 3 - 4 things at a time. If you have more elements, divide them into 3 - 4 element groups. I myself never really thought about this, so this fact was really helpful to me. Of course if you think about it, it is also quite logical. 

“The expert in anything was once a beginner.” (Quote by Helen Hayes)
I may be a beginner in understanding consumer behaviour now, but I would like to become an expert in it in the future. Marketing, economics and psychology are all subjects I really like and I think consumer behaviour is a great mixture of these three.

For establish an alliance, you must: define what you want for your business and if an alliance could help you to achieve it. Look for strong organizations which want to work together and share common objectives. Negotiate with the future partner the clauses of a contract which were good for both. If all the parts agree to the contract, let you work together and analyze the results of the alliance, if you must continue with them or break the alliance.

12 Characteristics of Successful Management Teams

ismcoursewiziq:

What are the success secrets of the world’s most successful business teams? What characteristics or traits do they possess that other business management teams don’t? What characteristics must I be on the look out for when building a business team?

1. Definiteness of Purpose

Definiteness of purpose is one of the success secrets of the world’s most successful business management teams. Successful business management teams know the company’s goals, objectives and vision at their finger tips; and they are focused in the pursuit of the company’s objectives. They know their specific role in the company and they concentrate on this role to make sure that the business objectives are met.

2. Knowledge of the Business / Industry

Successful business teams have adequate knowledge of the business of the company. The general rules of business are the same throughout the world but market intricacies are different from industry to industry; so also are the environmental factors.

3. Commitment

Take a closer look at the characteristics that make up successful teams and you will see commitment at the core. Successful business management teams are committed to the success of the company in which they serve. You may not really understand how commitment affects the performance of a team until you study the management structure of companies such as Berkshire Hathaway and Google.

4. They are Goal and Result Oriented

Successful business teams are result oriented. They know that their competence and credibility will be adjudged based on their accomplishment; so they press forward for positive results because results keep them in the game. If they fail to produce results; they will get kicked out of the company by the business owner or investors.

5. They are Individual Thinkers and Critical Problem Solvers

Members of a successful business management team are individual thinkers and critical problem solvers. Though they are a team, the members still think individually and solve intricate problems associated with their own area of expertise.

6. They are Team Players

Successful business teams are team players. Though members of the team are individual thinkers; they all act with same definiteness of purpose towards actualizing a common goal.

7. They are bonded by the Business Mission Statement

At the core of every successful business management team is something very important. This single factor is the reason why successful business teams are successful and this factor is the “business mission.” Successful business management teams know that the entrepreneur’s spirit is in the business mission and that’s why they strive to stay focused on the business mission. 

8. They are Strategic in their Approach

Successful business management teams are strategic in their approach. All members of the team are individual master strategists with respect to their own field or calling. Successful teams strategize, plan and make in-depth calculation or analysis before arriving at a decision. And once a decision is reached; they execute it without delay and monitor the feedback.

9. They are Competitive

Just as soldiers are tested on the battle field; so also is the competence of a business management team tested in the marketplace. Competitiveness is the reason why successful business management teams emerge successful; they are always on the watch to swiftly counter the moves of competitors. Price wars and media attacks are product of business teams testing their wits against each other.

10. They are Responsible and Accountable

Successful business management teams are responsible and accountable for their actions. They know that the company’s success or failure is dependent on the decisions they make; so they take charge and execute their plans without fear of the consequences. If their move backfires; they take responsibility, learn from the mistake and move on.

11. They are Opportunistic

Successful business management teams are opportunistic in their approach and strategy. They are always on the lookout for trends, problems and opportunities they can exploit. They are always quick to take advantage of a miscalculation or false move from the competitor.

12. They are Excellent Communicators

And lastly, successful business teams are excellent communicators. They know how to motivate their workforce, raise capital from investors, promote the company’s products and increase brand loyalty through their spoken words.

As a final note, these are the 12 characteristics and success secrets of the world’s most successful business management teams. So if building a business management team that will serve in high capacity and keep your business metrics strong is your topmost priority; then make the characteristics listed above a priority while forging the values on which your team will be built and your business will end up having a strong management team.

#BLACKCULTURE #BLACKHUSTORY #repost –> @magsmw – Happy 108th birthday to Richard Wright, literary powerhouse - novelist, essayist, poet who sought to bring constant attention to the plight of African-American life in urban and rural settings in the United States. His discontent with that life ultimately lead him to Paris, where he too became an ex-patriate along with James Baldwin, Josephine Baker to name a few. His discontent did not squelch his message and he continued to write essays, novels and poetry until his death. His most notable works, Uncle Tom’s Children, Black Boy and Native Son brought him critical acclaim in print and on stage and screen. These enduring works continue to challenge the systemic racism and violence towards Black Americans which unfortunately continues to this day. I will be revisiting my copy of Native Son soon.

How to make Money as a Snapchat Content Creator

dscienceinc:


HOW TO MAKE MONEY AS A SNAPCHAT CONTENT CREATOR how to make money with snapchat

How to make Money with Snapchat

There is nothing more rewarding than being paid to be creative.

Snapchat just so happens to be on of the most creative platforms. Snapchatters have an incredible ability to natively tell stories with al the mechanisms like emoji’s, filters, drawings, and of course vertical videos.

Snapchat is a content creators proverbial dream come true.

Here’s the rub though, many people think they could get paid to be content creators but very few get the opportunity.

Here is how to make money as a Snapchat content creator.

Build Your Audience

Before you can make a penny, you have to build your audience. This takes hard work, dedication, a strategy, and a little luck.

There are no shortcuts to growing your audience but with the right knowledge you can seriously speed up the process. It doesn’t matter if you are a personal brand, an influencer in training, or a local brick and mortar shop. Building that audience is pivotal to the success of monetization on Snapchat.

Listen to the Market

Listening to the market means taking the time to have conversations with your Snapchat audience. As a content creator you must figure out what type of content they want to consume, and consequently, create more of it. You have to listen to the words and phrases they use in their snaps and understand how to “speak their language.”

You must listen to the needs of your audience, otherwise they’ll never pay attention to you.

Create a Monetization Strategy

After listening to the market you can find a monetization strategy that works for your audience.  This might mean making an online course or product like Snapchat Mastery and selling this natively on Snapchat.

This might mean creating amazing Snapchat stories like Shaunayala does in an influencer campaign

.

Maybe you take over a brand’s account like Harris Markowitz does with Zillow (This is dannyberk’s story).

This could mean pushing products like DJ Khaled has been doing.

Finally, you might do a partnership with a personal brand like Taylor.Nikolai. He partnered with Mastercard’s red carpet event.

Understand the Key Metrics to Success

Brands are not just looking at your follower count. It certainly helps having 100,000+ opens on your story, but if the audience is not engaged, numbers don’t mean much. If you have 5,000 highly engaged members that make purchases, it is much more appealing than 100k opens that are not engaged.

If 30% of your 5,000 opens converts into $100 sales a piece, you can net a brand $150,000. Compare that to a 100,000 opens at 1%, this nets only $100,000 in sales. Granted it isn’t always as easy to track direct sales through influencer marketing campaigns.

The point is know how much influence you have, and how much you can push your audience other places.

Create a Strong Network of Other Creators

What most people forget is that influencers and content creators on Snapchat know each other.

It’s important to build relationships with other content creators. Consequently, you bring more to the table with any brand opportunities, and more. Not only do you have your network to pull on but you have other networks to leverage. Other content creators can help by suggesting that their audience visit your story or collaborating on an epic story.

It isn’t what you know after all, it is who you know and how well you know them.

Why It's a Bad Idea to Only Create Content for Your Specific Target Audience - Whiteboard Friday

briannori:

Posted by randfish

Knowing what content to create is one of a marketer’s most difficult jobs. It’s all too easy to imagine your target audience and what they already appreciate, then create more of that. In today’s Whiteboard Friday, Rand discusses why that’s a bit short-sighted, and we should have a broader vision.


Click on the whiteboard image above to open a high resolution version in a new tab!

Video Transcription

Howdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. This one comes to us via submission from email. This is a question from Michael. No other details given, which is totally fine, Michael. So he wanted to know, since he’s working on a content strategy, working on a new blog and having conversations with his manager and his team about, “Hey, should we be writing only extremely focused, narrowly focused content for our specific target audience, or should we be trying to branch out and broaden so that we can reach a bigger audience or a new audience?”

I think this is a fair question, a great question that happens all the time in content strategy and actually in link building strategy discussions around the SEO and content world. So I think it’s actually a pretty bad idea most of the time. Not all the time, but most of the time it’s a pretty bad idea to be extremely narrowly focused on exclusively your audience, your paying customers or the audience that you’re trying to get to pay for your products or services, and I’ll explain why.


General goals of content in SEO & web marketing

So general goals that we usually have around content marketing and content as it relates to SEO and web marketing more broadly is that we want something that potentially

  • Directly converts some customers, convinces people to buy from us, convinces them that our products or our services or our knowledge, or whatever it is, is the best in our field.
  • Helps us earn press, amplification, and links, certainly so that we can rank higher for all sorts of things, so that we can reach new audiences, so that we get influencers on our side.
  • Reach brand new audiences, broad, hopefully new audiences so that we can capture among that new audience some segment or sliver which is going to turn out to be great customers for us, now or in the future, or might be influential to our customers now or in the future.
  • Grow our brand’s awareness and authority. We’re just trying to get seen by more folks, more people aware of us so that we can do all sorts of clever things in the future, like have higher click-through rates because people are familiar with us already so that we can do retargeting and remarketing, so that we have more brand credibility of all kinds in all sectors.

Usually, most content goals fall into one of these or several of them.

Now, there’s overlap between them. I haven’t perfectly illustrated this with a great Venn diagram. But in here there is lots of overlap between these different goals. You could have a piece of content that is both designed to earn press and amplification and links and is reaching a broad new audience. Or you might have some content that is directly converting customers that maybe also has some link amplification sorts of overlap. It’s pretty tough to overlap anything else with directly converting customers, but the other three definitely easier to do overlap.


However, most of the content you’re going to produce is going to have a hard time doing anything more than maybe one or two of these. If you’re trying to do three or all four at the same time, you’re going to struggle significantly. This is why folks who say, “I want content that’s going to go viral, that directly converts my customers, that also reaches influencers and helps me reach a broad new group of folks,” you’re asking too much from the same piece of content. It’s going to be a real, real challenge.


Risky business

If you’re only doing that content that’s hyper-specifically targeting these directly converting customers, you’re going to run into some big problems. First off, heavy competition. It tends to be the case if you’re trying to earn that audience’s attention, so too are all your competitors, and they’re probably trying in very, very similar ways. It’s often a competitive advantage to actually be a little bit broader and to branch out of that.

You are usually ignoring great link opportunities from websites and press and blogs and events and all sorts of places that you could have earned had that content had a broader focus or just a broader appeal in general. It could be because you hyper-focused your data or your study on too narrow a market that only served your specific customer set, when in fact had you gone a little bit broader, there would have been a lot of press and industry coverage sites that might have written about you. It could be that you’ve only written about your customers’ problems, when in fact if you had written about the problem a little more generally, you might have had the chance to reach bloggers and people on Twitter and folks on LinkedIn and folks through Facebook and those types of places.

Finally, you’re probably missing potential customers and influencers that are outside what your current sphere of influence is. Whatever that sphere is, the content that is most targeted at your audience is going to have a very tough time making this any bigger than it is. The content that’s more broadly-focused, especially if it does well, is going to help expand this sphere so that you reach more of these people over here with that new expanded sphere.


All the right moves

My recommendations, instead of making your content way narrowly focused, I would try and think broader, and I would think about it in these ways. First off…

  • Nail down the actual content goals with your team, your manager, or your client so that everyone agrees, “Hey, we want to do some of this, we want to do some of this, and we’re looking to do a lot of this.” If that’s what we know our content is trying to do, it’s pretty easy to have the conversation about why we shouldn’t just create content here.
  • Try and distribute those broad versus narrow versus hyper-specific content efforts. Distribute meaning say, “Hey, we know that we’re going to be producing this amount of content. This is how much of it we want to put effort into to target this segment versus this segment versus this other segment.”
  • Establish some cadence, some channels, some of the promotion efforts that are actually going to fit the goal and the target audience, because you’re going to do different kinds of promotion. It’s not just a creation of the content itself and the content strategy, it’s the promotion and the targeting. It’s the channels you use, it’s how often you put it out there, and it’s where you put it on your site. It could be that you have a hyper-specific focused blog and then you have articles that are broader, or your blog is very broad and then you have white papers that are very, very focused on your target audience. Both ways are totally fine.
  • Use the right metrics to measure your progress against these goals. If you’re trying to reach a broad new audience, you’re using thing like visits and exposure and engagement. If you’re trying to grow press, amplification, and links, well, you’re looking at links, you’re looking at coverage, you’re looking at mentions. If you’re trying to directly convert customers, you are going to be looking at conversion events and whether that content falls somewhere in the conversion path over the course of time.

You do these things right, I think you’re going to have a much more successful conversation when it comes time to say, “Should we create broad content or specific, hyper-focused content?”

All right, everyone, look forward to your comments and we’ll see you again next week for another edition of Whiteboard Friday. Take care.
