Comment on The Key Difference Between Google Ads and Facebook Ads by Armaghan Saqib

Armaghan Saqib — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:50:29 +0000

But the question is how effective facebook ads are?

I am a google adwords customer and have reasonably good response.

Though I have clicked (and sometimes purchased) something from google ad, I have yet to find a relevant ad from facebook.

What do you think?

I have enjoyed Joel Bauer’s comments about you and your expertise. I know I have a book in me.I want it to be entertaining as well as informative. I like the way Clinton Kelly wrote in FREAKIN’ FABULOUS. It was funny and informative and kept me reading more. I would love to find a writing helper to write my business story like that. If you do it or know someone. Thanks joan

Shama, Once I heard that good businessman never spend their money , So I had a business open and in relation to business cards, I checked and contacted all the free offers (free smaple) online, in the newspaper in the mag, and bill boards all around the world via etectronic media etc etc . I remember then,I have aarranged more then 10,000 business cards free of charge with in two weeks, and the funny thing was they all different to each other, so colourfull and so excited most important was they were free.
So one day my next door business owner asked me where have you printed those cards I said, from mexico, and they cheep and also new style, cuz every card were different, He liked it and gave me a order for 5000 cards, I charged him £400 and got him done with in 2 weeks from only usa. Then I choose the style which card I like and gave another order to the same companies wih the spell mistakeand then i got them again within 2 weeks free of charge, so it was a new idea of printing cards with spell mistake, and then in my town now many business owner following spell mistake cards and they lovin it lic Macd. lolz.
It nothing to ask you so far just thought share my stuff with you with my ideas which are more creazy maybe but worth it .
Regards

Thanks for posting my video, Shama. Much appreciated.

I took a look at it again, and it reminded me of something Mark Bowden (author of “Black Hawk Down”) said: A writer should always be working on their most ambitious project.

So, writing a book might be a stretch for some of us, but it’s a stretch we might need to take. One that will help us grow as thinkers and communicators.

Thanks again.

Frequency is important to establish your flagship content as long as the content is relevant and timely to your audience so they keep coming back.

I post daily on my blog. I always planned to post twice a week but could never keep it up. And I must share you this tip; Posting daily becomes easier after couple of weeks than any other schedule.

Here is a short post which I wrote to tell how you can blog daily.

Quality might go down initially but will eventually go up due to practice and you might become a super blogger.

I started out two years ago trying to post 3 times a week. My second year I went to twice a week. Now I’ve reached 200 posts and as my business moves in another direction, twice a week is sometimes a challenge. As you said,it all depends on your goals for the blog. What I’ve enjoyed recently is fleshing out some of my posts for a book I’m working on. Re-purposing the content in various ways can make the time spent blogging doubly worthwhile.

Thanks, Shama, interesting tv post today! I feel like 3x a week for blogging is about right. However, I get a lot of feeds where the Power bloggers really post everyday. I know Chris Brogan, for example, just posted recently that he notices a significant downturn in traffic if he even misses 1 day. So I think if you want to keep a “top of mind” presence online, you really need to blog pretty often, and at least 3x a week, but also quality is important too. I wouldn’t start blogging everyday and producing mediocre posts just for the sake of posting. That would probably backfire and cause you to lose subscribers.

Hi Shama! Rick here, the fellow who asked the question (and a fellow marketing consultant/coach). Great answer, and it is similar to what I also tell my clients. The key is to develop a strategy and goals. A “body of work” is important at first as you suggest, but then “blog when you have something to say” is a good rule of thumb.

Whatever you do, don’t abandon your blog. It’s almost like saying, “hey, we’re going out of business!”

I visited with a client prospect today who’s last blog post was in January! They immediately hung their head in shame saying, “We know, we know!”

I’ll bet they post a new entry within the next week!

Thanks,Shama. You do great work and I’m a fan here in Austin, Texas. Now I better take a dose of my own medicine and update my blog, Marketing With Moxie here: http://bit.ly/9k7N6u

Hmmm. Can you guess what my topic is?!

I have been blogging at my college football blog (Collegefootballtopten.com) since 2006 and I still have people linking to and finding articles I wrote in 2007 and 2008. “Early and often” is a good phrase to remember when you just start out. I think you are right Shama, you blog as often as you can to establish “flagship” content.

I am working on rounding up my “flagship” content at Collegefootballtopten.com, but I am working to build “flagship” content at toddejones.net.
