Marketing Maestro

 You most likely have heard about or use Digg, Mixx, Spinn or other online community news sites.  Well, there is a new site which has joined the crowd and it is called HatedOrLoved.com.  If you enjoy social networking and pushing stories through your network this might be a place to check out.  As a new user you might be able to build up social 'power' before the site takes off and becomes  established like Digg.  The difference here appears to be that you can 'hate' a story without pushing it down out of public view (your not playing censor as is the case in some communities).

As a marketer these sites are important to pay attention to since they can drive significant web traffic to your site.  If one of your stories gets pushed up to a popular category by the community - BAM new site traffic.  Then you might get really lucky and be picked up by some of the other sites and BAM a lot more free site traffic.   These sites spread word of mouth stories if the news is buzz worthy.  

Good luck with your content marketing efforts and let the Trump community know how your business is  using social networking  in your marketing efforts.

Last week I participated in the "Personality Not Included" Exclusive Interview with Rohit Bhargava.  Unfortunately I wasn't selected as a top 12 interviewer but through the power of social media marketing I did win a signed copy of his book.  If you haven't purchased the book I recommend grabbing a copy.  From my short time following Rohit's work I have learned a thing or two and I am sure the book is full of interesting and useful marketing ideas.

So now I have the copy I ordered and a signed edition coming my way.  What to do with the copy I bought.  Any ideas from the crowd...?

Better yet.  Let me take a page from Rohit's play book.  If you want the book and you have your own blog make your case in a blog posting and I will pick someone who thinks this book will help grow their business.

Good luck.
