It is the ultimate snack bar for informavores, serving up tasty bit-sized nuggets to tempt, tantalize, follow and consume. Therefore, it’s blatantly obvious when a part of the snack bar closes. I don’t know about you, but I hate it when that happens. Little frustrates me more than stumbling upon a social media gravesite: the dead remnants of a poorly thought out social campaign. You’ve seen it, too, I’m sure. ]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/09/05/avoid-the-social-media-graveyard-social-with-a-plan/feed/ 120 http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/08/08/social-branding-sheeple-and-plans-whats-in-your-network/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/08/08/social-branding-sheeple-and-plans-whats-in-your-network/#comments Mon, 08 Aug 2011 07:00:41 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=4570 I don’t know about you, but I’m busy, very busy. While I was away, as we all know, Google decided to throw their hat into the social circle with Google +. Don’t worry; I promise this isn’t about G Plus, but about managing your social. I don’t care if it’s a Facebook killer or if it will wipe Twitter out of the game; I don’t have any stock invested in any of these companies. What I’m invested in is the future of my clients and my business, no matter which corporate entity ends up on top.]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/08/08/social-branding-sheeple-and-plans-whats-in-your-network/feed/ 93 http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/01/27/hunting-for-the-perfect-social-networking-platform-when-hootsuite-sucks/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/01/27/hunting-for-the-perfect-social-networking-platform-when-hootsuite-sucks/#comments Thu, 27 Jan 2011 10:00:50 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=3257 Many people spend time talking about what you say when you’re using social media. This isn’t one of those posts. This is a post about what you use for your social media. Most of the ways to talk with people are right in front of you, in this little electronic box; we’ve all embraced social networks in one way or another. I’ve been chatting away with virtual strangers for years, whether in chat rooms, through instant messages and even with AOL. In fact, people have been communicating virtually with others now for more than two decades.]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2011/01/27/hunting-for-the-perfect-social-networking-platform-when-hootsuite-sucks/feed/ 26 http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/12/06/yes-mr-ceo-social-media-is-your-friend/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/12/06/yes-mr-ceo-social-media-is-your-friend/#comments Mon, 06 Dec 2010 10:00:20 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=2929 I’ve been asked by several companies to speak to their PR department about their respective social media presences. As much as I’d love to take them up on the offers, though, I thought I’d at least take the time to figure out the problems they’re having. ]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/12/06/yes-mr-ceo-social-media-is-your-friend/feed/ 13 http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/08/23/twitter-terrors-the-self-proclaiming-tweeter/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/08/23/twitter-terrors-the-self-proclaiming-tweeter/#comments Mon, 23 Aug 2010 10:00:45 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=2413 http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/08/23/twitter-terrors-the-self-proclaiming-tweeter/feed/ 24 http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/08/20/can-you-make-money-on-twitter/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/08/20/can-you-make-money-on-twitter/#comments Fri, 20 Aug 2010 10:00:00 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=2403 Everyone I know who works online is involved in making money online through passive income. “Passive” – it sounds easy; to some it’s second nature. You have to know how affiliate marketing works, do some research on the products you’re going to promote and, of course, be willing to spend a few dollars, but it can be done.

How can a small business compete with the bigger brands? You're probably thinking your brand sucks or is awesome... Traffic was steady as I watched various billboards pass me by driving down I10 to a meeting. That's when it hit me, what if your brand is nowhere close to what you want?]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2010/03/01/creating-business-brands-through-social-branding-%e2%80%93-does-your-brand-matter/feed/ 15 http://level343.com/article_archive/2009/12/31/10-reasons-why-companies-should-join-social-networks/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2009/12/31/10-reasons-why-companies-should-join-social-networks/#comments Thu, 31 Dec 2009 12:00:18 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=1467 http://level343.com/article_archive/2009/12/31/10-reasons-why-companies-should-join-social-networks/feed/ 51 http://level343.com/article_archive/2009/10/01/social-media-marketing-top-five-best-time-investments/ http://level343.com/article_archive/2009/10/01/social-media-marketing-top-five-best-time-investments/#comments Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:00:27 +0000 Gabriella http://level343.com/article_archive/?p=1387 The first rule of any good marketing campaign is “go where the people gather!” Although this marketing strategy is certainly not an epiphany, the onset of the new frontier of marketing encompassing social media and networking has added confusing complexity to the old game of marketing.

The main reasons seem to be Web 3.0 and short message services (SMS). While SEO blogs will survive for at least a little while longer, the question of "how long" remains. What are Web 3.0 and SMS, though, and are they threatening to replace SEO blogs?]]> http://level343.com/article_archive/2008/08/28/professional-seo-services-reassessing-seo-blogs-%e2%80%93-outdated-and-outdone/feed/ 3
