In the first place, why do I register on different websites on the Internet, and why should you do it too? To stay tapped into what is happening in the cyber world and also what is not and to do some more things. Internet users want to access Websites to browse, post their own random or focused thoughts in weblogs, subscribe to a couple of USENET newsgroups of interest, avail of required services on offer, posts resume on a job, or maybe bio on matrimonial services sites, shops online or simply use Web-based email services. All users must do is register and cough up some personal information in the process. Not a big deal!



Big deal is that personal information spread fast on the Internet. Result: email Inbox privacy that is one of today's most sensitive and intricate issues affecting nearly everyone – individuals, businesses and Internet systems alike. Clued-up users who are in know of the matters want to protect their email inboxes though beginners or those who have lots of free time on hand usually do not care until later. Majority of the Websites first ask users to register and give some personally identifiable information including email address so that they can reach out potential customers and people with particular interests. "Over 90 percent Websites ask visitors to register," as per an estimate, for those 'great benefits' -- full use of the Website, membership to certain services or communities, subscription to newsletters and alerts and more.

Social Media Marketing - Proposal
Thursday, 20 June 2024

Promotion, Branding (including Personal Branding), and Creating Buzz Online through Blogs, X, Facebook

Executive Summary 

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, establishing a strong online presence is crucial for businesses and individuals alike. This proposal outlines a comprehensive plan to leverage blogging, X (Twitter), and Facebook to enhance your online visibility, engage with your target audience, and drive business results.

Introduction

The rise of social media has revolutionized the way businesses connect with their customers. Blogs, X, and Facebook have become indispensable tools for corporate communications, marketing, and customer engagement. By harnessing the power of these platforms, we can strengthen relationships with key target groups, position your organization as an industry thought leader, and create a buzz online.

Understanding Blogs

A blog is a dynamic online platform that reflects the interests, thoughts, and opinions of its author. In a business context, blogs offer a unique opportunity for organizations to share their expertise, showcase their personality, and engage with their audience in a meaningful way. By definition, business blogs are published by or with the support of an organization to achieve specific goals.

Benefits of Blogging

- Strengthen relationships with target groups

- Position your organization as an industry expert

- Drive visitors to your website and attract new customers

- Engage with existing customers and encourage loyalty

- Cost-effective marketing tool

X (Twitter)

X is a micro-blogging platform that allows for instant messaging and real-time engagement. With millions of users, X offers a vast opportunity for businesses to connect with their audience, build their brand, and drive sales.

Facebook

Facebook has become a powerful tool for businesses and individuals to increase their online visibility and reach a wider audience. By integrating your blog with your Facebook page, we can amplify your online presence and engage with your audience in a more meaningful way.

Who Should Blog for You?

Ideally, frontline people who know your business inside out should blog about it. Alternatively, marketing professionals or hired writers can also create content under your company's name or their own.

Goals and Objectives 

Our aim is to support your business objectives by:

- Informing and educating customers

- Encouraging dialogue with current and potential customers

- Conveying your company's personality and culture

- Gathering feedback from readers and customers

Proposal

We suggest the following:

- Set up a dedicated blog for your establishment, product, service, idea, or individual

- Generate relevant content and post it on the blog

- Write blog posts (editorialized advertisements) on existing blogs to strengthen keywords in search engines

- Support the blog with active Facebook and X accounts created specifically for your company

By implementing this proposal, we can help you establish a strong online presence, engage with your target audience, and drive business results.

Connect and Network - Pakistan’s First International Social Media Summit
Saturday, 27 January 2024

Blast from the past


Social media tools like blogs, twitter and facebook are being widely praised for helping to bring change. The best thing about social media is the way it brings openness and shared environment. It is unlike mass media where only a few have a control over information industry and they are the ones who decide what to tell the world and when and they do it on need to know bases. We can see some powerful examples of social campaigns in the recent past.


Network!: Pakistan’s First International Social Media Summit is being held in Karachi (June 10-11, 2011) to accelerate this change by everything and anything that can create a social positive change through an integrated open approach using the social media. It feels good be a part of this change; sounds good. Lahore bloggers (Mubeshir Ali, Mehreen, Raza Rumi, Yasser Latif Hamdani, Shiraz Hassan, Ayesha, Nabiha Meher, Shamreez, Darweesh, Amara Javed, Shemrez Nauman Afzal, Ale Muhammad and your truly) are eagerly gearing up to join their colleges and some like-minded friends from all over Pakistan and abroad.

What am I expecting from galaxy of bloggers (social media starts) meeting in Karachi? In addition to learning about Education and Good Governance: Going Digital, Women and Social Activism in the New Media Era and Monetizing Social Media Spaces, I am looking forward to connect and network with those seeking similar. Connect with people who are proximate geographically. Connect with like-minded people who are thinking to be together into a movement. It is only this connection that can start a change. No?
