Marketing in the Social Media Space

social media online marketing is a idea you may have explored and is being greatly talked about on the Internet. Especially in big business arenas even showing up into corporate America and the Fortune 500 crowd.

It is not a new concept. The idea of socially networking and connecting with other people has been around since the dawn of time. It is even a fundamental driver built into our DNA that we are social creatures.

What is new are the various mediums where this type of communication can take place. And social networking is new to the web within the last two years and is still in its infancy.

There are certain manners you want to follow when playing in the social media space. Especially when you are there with purposeful marketing motives in mind.

Because this is a social space people don’t take kindly to blatant advertising messages which you normally see on places like TV and radio. These ad models have been dubbed “interruption marketing” because you’re watching a show or listening to a radio commentary and all of a sudden they take a break and a blatant advertisement is thrust right in your face.

The easiest way to get started with these various social media sites and blogs and social networking sites is to think about it like it’s an extension of any normal real world social situation you’d find yourself in. Imagine it like you’re going to a party where you don’t know anyone there.

Would you walk up to someone on the street who is a complete stranger to you and you didn’t know anything about them, would you just thrust your business card into their hand without saying a word to them?

Of course not. No sane person would do that because it will do you no good and just waste the resources you spent to create your business card and the money spent to get it printed out.

Yet I see the online equivalent of this foolishness daily when people send me a friend request with a blurb about joining their business.

Every time you talk to someone about your business you want to convert them into a member and have a high probability of converting them to a paying customer of yours. That’s the ultimate goal and everything else is pointless.

So how do you go about doing this with these various social media sites?

Much like you do at a party where you don’t know anyone you have to make introductions. With the social sites usually this involves making a friend request.

Normally, all you have to do is find some friends with similar interests in the business and market you’re in and click on a “friend” button.

The biggest mistake I see people making is just aimlessly sending friend requests. Like any marketing campaign you’re doing you want to go after people who are like you and have an interest in your topic because they will be likely to want to buy your products assuming you do a good enough job with the steps of the system to warm them up to buying your product.

No blatant sales pitches in this starting friend request. All you want to do is find groups and in most sites you can do a search to find groups which are interested in your market whether it be health, fitness, or even blue jeans lovers. There are also many business groups and entrepreneurial type groups if you’re in those markets.

Digg into groups on a same topic your business is in and start making friends with members of those groups. All you want to do is send a friend request telling them “hey I saw you in this group and wanted to be your friend”. Obviously, you include the group name and that you joined which they are part and you are also a part because that gives you a common link with them and they’ll be far more likely to say yes to the friend request and message they get from you which is the first step to being able to communicate with them.

This will give you a fast fresh beginning in your social media marketing quest. After you make and secure a few hundred friends then I’ll tell you the next step in this process which is sending them an introductory e-mail about yourself.

 

Successful Weight Loss – How?

Have you been struggling with your weight for a long time? Have you tried several fad diets, or maybe even taken diet pills, but none of them worked to get the excess weight off you? You most likely have tried starving yourself. In fact, you probably tried to starve yourself first before trying out all the other fad diets.

Do you lack the willpower to lose weight? Do you need weight loss motivation?

What you need to realize is that starving yourself is not going to (and won’t ever) help you lose weight. In fact, starvation can cause you to keep those excess pounds on and even add on a few! By the way, did you make exercise a part of your weight loss plan? No?

No wonder you can’t shed off those unwanted pounds! The keys to weight loss are nutrition and exercise. And you have to be consistent and persistent too.

Eating a well-balanced diet is one key to sustainable weight loss in the long term. This means cutting back (or eliminating) on fatty foods, junk food, sugary drinks and similar foods. You also need to exercise to increase your body’s metabolism. The better your metabolism, the more efficient your body is burning the calories. When your body is efficiently burning calories, you will see the weight come off. There are breathing exercise designed to encourage weight loss.

Doing the above mentioned isn’t a one-off thing. You need to be consistent — in eating healthy foods and on exercising. Don’t act surprised if you don’t lose weight if you’re still eating the same unhealthy foods you’ve been eating. And you need to be persistent. Don’t expect to shed off the excess pounds overnight; it takes time. Your body needs to adjust itself to a healthy weight loss plan for a few weeks.

Let’s take an even closer look at each of the key aspects to successful weight loss:

1. Nutrition

Switch to non-fattening foods that will provide your body with sufficient amounts of nutrients it needs to function efficiently on a daily basis. Starving yourself doesn’t work for weight loss. Why? When your body recognizes that you are starving it, it will go into survival mode and store whatever food you give it. It may be counterintuitive, but eating can cause weight loss, not starving! Go for low-fat and no-fat foods. Consume fresh fruits and vegetables every day. If you love meat, go for lean meat, preferably salmon or chicken instead of red meat.

2. Exercise

Exercise not only helps your heart become stronger and make you healthy overall, it helps raise your metabolism. The higher your metabolism, the faster your body burns calories. You can achieve weight loss safely if the amount of calories your body is burning is more than the calories you are consuming. Health experts recommend exercising at least 30 minutes three times a week. Walking, cycling and swimming are exercises that can help promote weight loss.

3. Deep Breathing

A few times during the day, do a 15-minute deep breathing session. It is believed that deep breathing helps your body burn energy.

4. Consistency and Persistence

5. Weight Loss Motivation

Frankly, weight loss motivation should be at #1, but for most people it’s the least considered part of a successful weight loss plan.

In order for your weight loss plan to be effective, you need to be consistent and persistent. Keep eating healthy meals and exercising regularly. If you waver or skimp on any part of your weight loss plan, you’ll stop losing weight.

A Few More Tips

Instead of eating 3 big meals, try to eat 5 or 6 smaller meals. Don’t eat four hours before you go to bed as doing so can disrupt your sleep. Your body needs to rest at night and it can’t do that if it has to digest the foods you’ve eaten close to bed time.

No fad diet or diet pill can bring you the same results of a healthy weight loss plan that involves proper nutrition and exercise. This weight loss plan is safe too and guaranteed to give you results!

Leptin Supplements and Weight Loss

Since the discovery of leptin in 1994, many have hoped that the hormone would be a promising weight-loss treatment for humans. Leptin acts as a signal to help the body decide when it has eaten enough food to feel full. The amount of leptin in the blood has been directly linked to body fat.

After receiving leptin replacement therapy, research subjects with a recessive mutation in the obesity (ob) gene – a population both deficient in Leptin and morbidly obese – lost about half of their body weight while regulating their own food intake. (Medical news Today 4/5/2005).

If you take it at face value, it seems as if the research is saying that more leptin will help you lose weight. This research refers to subjects with a genetic basis for obesity who were deficient in leptin. But obese individuals tend to have more and larger leptin-producing fat cells than thinner people. They simply are not getting vital chemical signals to their brains that tell them to stop eating.

To illustrate my point:

Despite an assiduous search, scientists have found only a half-dozen people in the world who make no leptin. These people eat voraciously – one 3-year-old girl consumed 2,000 calories at a sitting. When several of these people were treated with leptin, they lost their appetites and their weight plummeted. (The New York Times 31/10/1999).

Don’t get me wrong, if it helps those who cannot make leptin, then this is a major breakthrough for them.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, goes a long way toward proving to me that more leptin does not equal less weight in very overweight people in the general population.

To make things worse, a hormone called leptin that was supposed to be the magic bullet for obesity, making people effortlessly lose fat while retaining muscle, looks like a bust. In a preliminary study reported last week, most people who took leptin lost little or no weight – one fat person who took the highest dose actually gained 20 pounds. (The New York Times 31/10/1999).

Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston say lean, physically active people have low levels of leptin, which is produced by the body’s fat cells and is believed to be a major culprit in causing obesity. The study finds that when couch potatoes start exercising regularly, their leptin levels decrease.

“As you get fatter, your body makes more leptin,” says Eric B. Rimm, Sc.D., associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health, and a co-author of the study. “But when you exercise, the amount of leptin in the blood decreases. Most of the time, you also lose weight, which means your risk of heart disease decreases too.” (Science Daily 7/3/2000).

Normally, when leptin levels in blood go up, the brain signals us to stop eating. But since obesity isn’t the result of a lack of leptin, it is a lack of response to leptin, and obese individuals tend to have more and larger leptin-producing fat cells (leptin is a hormone secreted by fat cells) than thinner people, their leptin levels increase substantially with every pound of additional weight gain.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there appears to be no logic in the idea of taking more leptin to reduce weight if you have an impaired response to leptin.

It is important to keep in mind that the study that showed that raising leptin levels in people who have already lost weight helps them to keep the weight off. It does not help people to lose weight in the first place. It prevents the yo-yoing that most dieters go through as their leptin levels drop and the brain tries to compensate by increasing hunger.

Weight loss lowers levels of leptin, which in turn can restore an impaired response to leptin signaling.

Using Missing Person site to find a missing person

Do you want to find a missing person through the World Wide Web? Well, take a few minutes to read this article about missing person websites. I will provide and overview of these sites i.e. what they are really and how they work.

A missing person website is one that enables visitors to use certain tools to find a missing person. These tools are normally presented like a search engine where you enter the keyword and then search. In this case the keyword is the name or the missing person or any other identifier like social security identity, previous address, telephone number etc.

These sites are different from the normal search engines we know in that they collect information about people only. Some of them have what is known as search bots, crawlers or robots that are used to gather information from different sources across the web. These are usually public records and other government files. There are those that compile the information from soliciting it from the people. These sites normally offer an incentive to anyone who is willing to give up his or her contact details. So when someone looks for them the site will show all pre-entered information about the person.

There are also content-based websites that can help you find a person free. These do not necessarily have tools for searching for a person but they have content that offers the best advise you can use in order to find people free. I highly recommend these sites especially for beginners because they provide many options and offer recommendations on a number of best people finder sites.

One last point to note is that some of the sites will charge you for their services and some will allow to use them to find people free. Off course it is always best to use the paid services because their database is comprehensive and up to date but if you don’t have some cash then do use the free people finders.

Today there are thousands of missing person websites to choose from but if you are just starting out with this kind of technology they you probably don’t know where to start. Well, you can either use a search engine like Google to search for good sites or simply visit any of the social networking sites to ask for best recommendations.
