MenuCan i target directly 30,000 people i know their names in Facebook or Linkedin?
We know exactly who the names of our customers are and we want to target them directly. Not one error. Is this possible with Facebook & Linkedin social networks?
Answers
Names are not so useful, emails yes! Export their emails in Linkedin and then upload to Facebook "audience" targeting and then you're good to go:)
Yes and no!
While Facebook is more flexible and its users are more likely to respond to your direct approach, on Linked In is more difficult.
From my experience, on Linked In is more lucrative to share your problem/issue in a form of a question with details on group's board, where the dynamics of Q&A is much better.
Of course you could address your connections directly or by an email campaign, just don't be aggressive with the approach.
Most important (and the determinant for your addressing way and channel) is your product/service that you offer.
If you think I could be useful, you may reach me by email at bogdins at gmail dot com or by skype at technobogdins.
There are various ways to target specific people, although you need be be careful relative to the social networks' terms and conditions. If these people have opted in to your list, you can use Facebook customer audience retargeting to promote stories in their feeds. If they haven't opted into your list, you may have to find ways to reach out to them directly. There are lots of strategies for this, but it really depends on the specific reason you want to reach out to them.
Use the audience function in FB, you need at least 100 emails to build a campaign triggered only to those users when they are on facebook
Hi,
sadly, knowing the names of your customers is not enough. However, if you have their email addresses or phone numbers, it is possible to use the so-called Facebook Custom Audiences and create a custom list of those people.
You would upload the list of email addresses or phone numbers to Facebook and it will anonymously match them to individual Facebook profiles - after that happens, you will have a custom target audience that you can reach with any ad campaigns. This can be very powerful, as you can reach exactly just your current clients or subscribers and create highly-targeted advertising campaigns.
If you had such information (emails or phone numbers) and needed any help with creating Facebook custom audiences, feel free to get in touch and I'll be glad to help.
Cheers!

How did Snapchat boast a solid user base within a short period of time, compared to Facebook and Twitter?
I've been in the picture messaging space for a while now with my apps Lutebox (voted one of London's top ten most loved apps) and now Click Messenger. I've written a few articles about the space including a recent post about the Future of Mobile Messaging. Snapchat started out as an app called Picaboo, which pretty much did what it does now (prior to the latest update with chat and video calling). They quickly rebranded but saw a little uptake in user numbers and had quite low downloads for several months. Then around Christmas 2011 one of the founders' mom had told her friend about the app, who told her kid and her kid basically then spread the word throughout their high school in L.A. That was what really blew up their download numbers as it spread across teenagers at local high schools. As far as I know they didn't advertise in the early days, relied solely on word of mouth. Also it is assumed that they have a solid user base. Comparatively speaking, their user base may be in the low tens of millions, which may a great base of users, but nowhere even close to being as big as Facebook or Twitter. I'd be happy to speak about this in more detail or about the picture messaging landscape and what I believe to be the future of mobile messaging.AA

What is the best way to capture and track referrals directed from a landing page?
There are a few ways to track things automatically, but they get complicated: - referral program software - Give your referrers special URL's with parameters that identify them as the referrer (like http://url.com/?referrer=JohnDoe), then push that value into a hidden form field - Create a separate landing page for each referrer I'd keep things much simpler to start. Just tell your social club that there's a referral program in place, then add a form field on your signup process asking who referred the new customer. If John Doe knows that there's a program in place, when he refers someone, he's likely to tell them "make sure you say I referred you". When the new customer joins, they'll likely remember to enter "John Doe" as the referrer. It's not bullet proof, but it's an easy way to start.CD

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW

How does my startup hire an affordable marketing expert?
I don't even know how to answer this. Do you know what the difference between McDonalds and the local burger joint that is filing for bankruptcy is? It's marketing. McDonalds is worth billions of dollars not because of the quality of their food, but because of their marketing. Marketing is not an expense. A janitor is an expense. Your computer is an expense. Marketing is an INVESTMENT. Would you shop around for the cheapest heart surgeon? Of course not. Because you would likely end up dead. Why, then, do you shop around for a marketing expert? Are you ok with your company going bankrupt? Is that worth the small savings to you? No. Of course not. Hire someone who is good at marketing. Hire someone who knows what they are doing. Buy yourself a Lamborghini with your profit the first quarter. Get a beach house in hawaii. Grab a yacht. Or, try to find your business the cheapest heart surgeon you can and then spend the next five years wondering why such a solid business idea failed in the first 6 months. I'm passionate about this exact topic because all those statistics you read about "70% of businesses failing in two years" are solely because of horrible marketing.AM
