That’s where we are, but where are we going with online social media? Just like every revolution online, social media will not only be about enjoying yourself chatting with friends and family, you’ll also be paying rent with the help of the small business you launched with social media advertising. Yes, paying your bills online. It’s not a big surprise anymore. With millions of sites selling products and services, and billions of searches via search engines every single day, the business is here, has been, and will stay here for some time. Social media is going to surpass, in my mind, expectations on what the online world can do for businesses. No longer will your Flash enabled site or podcasts be your only “cool†technology available. You can also find more work on sites like LinkedIn, build up a client news release base on sites like Twitter, and blog to bring in passive income selling used technology, among other things. It’s exciting. It’s powerful. The revolution is here so let’s jump aboard. This book is split into nine parts, with a complete beginning and end. I write it focused on an overview at the beginning, then looks at the future of social media via things like viral marketing. We’ll explore social media tools: Twitter, Wordpress, LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogger, and many, many others. The power really is in your hands. Join in, tap into the 350 million of users on Facebook, or watch your business fall behind? It’s not meant to scare you; it should excite you. And of course, you can always hire someone like me to help you along the way. So let’s begin. ----------------------------------- Sample of first chapter: PART 1, INTRO TO SOCIAL MEDIA POWER 1-Advantages of Social Media for Any Business Social media is going to be the bread and butter of online advertising in the next 5 years, and will evolve even more within another 10 years. It’s getting to the point where businesses who undertook online campaigns like SEO and PPC are going more and more into major social media venues like Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress, and dozens of other powerful social media tools. Why is everyone doing this? It’s easier to communicate a message via social media tools. Why send you a letter in the mail when I can get you to subscribe to my blog and get all news updates (or email for that matter)? Why spend millions on TV advertising when I can really get you too look by posting incredible deals on Facebook and new videos on YouTube? The biggest advantage of social media is clear: you get more business. What kind of business will you get? How much can you make? And how many customers are we really talking about? Social media encompasses the entire world, and will soon be used by everyone with a computer at least a few times a week. Facebook, as of this writing, has over 350 million people active, sharing words and pictures. There are millions of blogs online, and millions using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) read them. How much can you make? The sky is the limit. One advantage was mentioned early. Why go all out in a magazine ad which will reach a small market when you can click the mouse and send 100,000 potential customers a friendly message? And this isn’t just an email we’re talking about—Facebook and blogs are quite popular for posting and subscribing—so the opportunity is immense. I don’t think print advertising is obsolete yet, however, because it has its own place. Some of us like picking up a real 300 page book rather than reading it on the computer. Some of us like getting coupons in the mail to take to a brick and mortar store. But the reality is social media is being used by kids of 6-8, just about half or more of teenagers with access to computers and internet, and we could go on and on. The point is, the youth of the world has been online, and right now, as you read this, hundreds of millions of potential customers are reading and writing. They’ll grow up, they’ll make money, and you can make some. Social media in tandem with other online advertising methods is the wave of the future. The reality is simply, you can’t fall behind if you hope to tap into larger customer markets. ---
These 2 dont really go together. Although photoshop does have some vector capabilities, it is still essentially a bitmap program. If you want 100% vector you will need .ai or .eps files (adobe illustrator native format), though if this is for an exclusively online marketing campaign - eg no print work, then i cant see there being a problem with a high res psd.
.eps og .ai files would be just fine to. The important thing is that I must be able to edit them if there will be changes to text and image sized before or after the product launch which often happens. If I need to re-size the image from 453px × 604px to i.e. a bigger size like A4 or A3 format at a later point I must be able to do so without having a bad quality. Nothing more advanced than that!
I've got some Private Messages where people are asking me if the contest is still open. YES, as mentioned in the title & in the post it closes Desember 10.th 2009 at midnight! I will visit this post every day and look for drafts and suggestions! If you have any questions I'm here!
Do you want it to look like a book with all that stuff on it, or just an image with no depth dimensions?
Nice job on the ebook, on a personal note - how are you going to promote it? I'm writing on ebook on how to make money on a certain type of website as well its half way done and I'll be looking at promoting mine as well, maybe you can pm me if you even care? Hope you like the poster, I'll be willing to make any changes.
Trond, did you change your mind due to lack of entries or what? I would appreciate a response so I don't have to keep checking this thread. However if you like the image and want some changes done, I would do so no problems.
Hi! Sorry for my late answer! fujimoto: The colors (green) wat not actually so nice. The blue did not impress me either. I would like to see a more professional poster. This is a 100 $ contest and I have expectations Your last submission was onto something, but not complete. I liked the twitter and facebook elements. Perhaps you can give it another try?
I don't have any sense of direction of where to go with this. I might have to give up on this one. I can change the colors up and the top layout for another try. I'll submit another attempt tomorrow Hope someone sends you what you are looking for
