Code Marketing

Parties, hang-outs, meet-ups oh my!

Today’s topic is online meetings.

Online meetings have changed dramatically in recent years. It used to be that you had to pay a huge monthly fee inorder to host online meetings…like go to meeting.com. Now I know the functionality is huge in go to meeting but you can get similar results using vyew.com. It’s free and is pretty awesome.

But you are apart of the social media revolition and you know there is more you can do. How about parties and hang-outs?

A twitter party consists of you going online at a specific time and having a meeting with those followers who chose to participate. In having a party you are using mentions and hashtags. This will help build your social media audience.

Hang-outs are good too. They are on google+. Use them and ask specific circles to participate. You can get in a chat room type setting or use the full webcam version. Talk about new ways you can use!

Also, we have a newer player in the game. A locations based application called meetup.com. This application allows you to schedule a meet-up at a specific location (could be virtual I guess). People say if they will attend or not.

Go ahead and try these techniques. See how they work for you. Good luck and happy coding.

Google+ is dead?! Already?!

I am still getting adjusted to google plus. It really has huge potential…many because of the huge google user base it has to start with.  Many people don’t like it. Many people don’t understand it. And most importantly many people don’t even use it.

But lets pretend that you have built a sizable social audience on google+. What do you do with it? Well, lets talk about a couple of features.

1. Circles – this is how you organize the people who see your message.  Let say you post “bobby sue is at home sick today” well you wouldnt want all your prospects to see that. They really don’t care. Just like your extended family doesn’t really care that you post “50% off your next training seminar” (unless its your spouse and you are breaking the bank with that offer). Circles allows you to divide all your contacts into usable groups to send targeted messages to.  I do business with hair stylists and insurance agents (any many others)…with circles I can create messages for each group.

2. Hang-outs, huddles, messenger- These have changed somewhat over the past couple months and use really depends upon what platform you are using. Are you using your desktop, the mobile version or the app. All are different. Here is the idea with hangouts. Let’s say you offer different color schemes for mobile websites, like I do. I might have a “hangout” use my webcam and invite my circle prospects to join the hangout and discuss what the next big color scheme will be. Connecting with your social audience is extremely easy with this meathod and allows you to do so much more then other forms of social media.

Thats my first take on google+. I do like it. I think it could be valuable to your business. You will have to look hard at weather it could work for you.

Thanks for reading and be sure to diagnose your businesses social media presence.
