Collaborating with Your Customers on Pinterest Community Boards

English: Red Pinterest logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Pinterest is a visual content sharing site that’s a valuable tool for small businesses. One of the fastest growing social media sites, it’s no longer the domain of visually oriented niches. It now appeals to all kinds of users.

One of its best Pinterest features for engaging your customers is Community Boards. Community Boards allow users to collaboratively make your boards with you. No other social media network allows this level of interaction. It engages your customers and they help you by curating content for you.

Creating Community Boards

The best community boards are those that are narrowly focused but not so narrow that there’s nothing to pin. Since Pinterest is all about users’ interests, it’s difficult to get too narrow. The more specific you make the topic, the more focused and therefore better it will be as a board. It will also appeal more to your collaborators and followers.

You don’t need to create a special community board. You can take any of the boards you already have and open them up for collaboration. Pick a board you want to turn into a community board and click Edit. It will take you to a settings window. Choose ‘Me + Contributors’ and then write directions for contributing in the Description field.

When someone wants to become a contributor, they’ll email you asking for your permission. Once you approve them, they can contribute as much content as they want to the board. You can also invite users that you’d like to contribute. In the settings window, there’s a place to add users. When a user is added, it will send them an email inviting them.

Engaging Your Customers

There are several ways to increase customer engagement on your community boards. One way is to seek out boards on related topics and invite users who post the best content.

You can increase your exposure by joining other people’s community boards and posting content there. This level of collaborating creates a true community where users routinely pin content to each other’s boards.

You should advertise your community boards on other social networks and on your website or blog. Include a direct link so that other users can go directly to your board to collaborate.

Being a Good Community Manager

As Pinterest Community Boards become more popular, there’s more spam. However, if you’re a good board manager, you can keep it to a minimum. Approving new contributors will help. You can often spot a spammer before they have a chance to pin something irrelevant or sales-oriented. Make sure you’re signed up to get email notifications when there’s a new pin (this is the default setting) and be sure to monitor new content.

You can cut down on spam by being clear in the board’s description about what’s allowed and what isn’t. It may be a good idea to allow some self-promotion as long as it’s relevant. Your contributors can include a description of the image telling others where they can find it or other information for shopping purposes.

Encouraging Interaction and a Sense of Community – 6 Essentials

Journal of Community and Applied Social Psychology (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The Internet gives businesses many ways to connect with customers. It’s possible to build a sense of community online with your fans, customers, clients, business partners, or anyone else with similar interests. All of this networking gets you more exposure, builds your brand, and best of all makes your audience feel closer to you.

Whether you’re building a community through Pinterest Community Boards, LinkedIn or Facebook Groups, or your own blog, a few of the same essentials apply.

1.    Focus on Helping

People use online forums and social media groups to find the help they need for their problems. The best communities:

•    Answer questions
•    Teach their members how to do things
•    Give feedback
•    Offer support and encouragement

Sometimes a community fills an emotional need or just tells people that they’re doing a great job. Make your online community this kind of place.

2.    Be Responsive

Check in often and reply to comments, messages and posts, even if it’s just to say ‘thank you.’ The more responsive and friendly you are to your members, the more they’ll feel like participating. Let people know that you’re there and approachable.

3.    Be Real

Be yourself and let your personality come through. Too many marketers try to appeal to everyone and end up creating a bland persona that’s not only fake but also boring. On the other hand, people respond to your personality and quirks. When people get to know you, they feel a stronger bond. Your members will spend time in the community simply because they like you.

4.    Give Them Something to Do

Give your members something to do in the community. Start discussions and ask for opinions. Hold contests, polls and surveys. Carry out collaborative projects where they get to create the content with you. All of this gives them reasons to spend time in the community. It also gives members the sense that the community belongs to them.

5.    Connect with Others

It’s not enough to just create your community and expect engagement. You have to get out there and get involved in other communities as well. Read and comment on other blogs; subscribe to video channels; join social media groups. This networking will raise awareness of your community and strengthen bonds. You’ll also have a chance to connect with your community members in other places.

6.    Seek Feedback

Periodically ask your community members for feedback. For example, how can you make the forum a better or more helpful place for them? The community belongs to them as much as it belongs to you, so help them make it how they want it.

It’s easy to start a community online, but it takes a great deal of time to build real interaction. Make it a daily task on your to-do list. Check in and see what’s going on. It’s consistent contact with give-and-take that builds a community.

If You Are A Serious Marketer Is Your Online Marketing Fun? Leave a comment » Connect with Facebook

When I see the word SEO (Search Engine Optimization) my eyes glaze over. I see dollar signs melting away into cyberspace and I run for the hills.

How many of you have paid  1000, 1500 or even 3000 a month to have “professionals” optimize your site for you? Raise your hand if you have done this? My hand is up in the air. Is yours?

I no longer do this. While I always hired the best professionals in the field to get my sites optimized, I found I could so this at much lower cost, have some fun doing it and get better results.

Where do I do my SEO work?

Here at KuleSearch

How much does it cost me to do my own SEO work? On the average about a buck fifty. That’s a 1.50 not 1500:)

What do I do this? At KuleSearch.

I write an article like the one I am writing to you today. I try to give good information in that article like I hope I am doing today.

I pop that article into a very simple tool called KuleBuzz which you will find in the members area of KuleSearch.

Within 24 to 48 hours (sometimes faster) my articles get listed on page 1 of Google

You can check this out for more detailed information here and see how I get Google listed page 1 fast.

How much did this cost me to do over at Kulesearch? About 2 bucks. I purchased tags for my article at 20 cents a pop and that was my total cost to get my site, Sokule Submit, listed for several keywords on Google.

But there is more to it than that.

Once I have my Kulesearch/kulebuzz link available. I take it and put it in many places

Kulebuzz generates a unique link for me. There is no other link like this on the net anywhere. Google Loves unique links so I do a number of things with this link

1) I put it into kuleping where it gets pinged automatically every 3 days Once I put it in kuleping, I get pinging for life . Those of you who are familiar with pinging and how it works will appreciate how important it is to keep pinging a site so that the search engines are “reminded” that you are there.

2) Every few weeks I go back into KuleSearch and put a short edit in my article It does not matter how big or small that edit it. It is new content on the net and that is what Google is looking for. Whenever you write a kulebuzz article, we automatically ping it for you over at KuleSearch and whenever you edit your article and republish it , we ping it again for you and so does Kuleping.

3) I submit my article to a quality article submiter here.

4) Promote your kulebuzz link when you are promoting your site around the net.

I don’t want to make your eyes glaze over today with too much information on SEO work.

Suffice it to say this:

You should be using kulebuzz at Kulesearch to post your articles and get a unique link.

You should them take that unique link and put it in kuleping.

You shoud submit that article to a good article submitter over at KuleSubmit.

You shoud use that unique link in your promotions and blog posts and on Social Media.

Once in a while you should edit that kulebuzz articles as that is what will keep you listed on Google page 1 for months for the keywords that you purchase at KuleSearch

Bottom Line

Join KuleSearch

Fund your account with as little as 10 bucks

Create an article around the site you are promoting

Pop it into KuleBuzz at KuleSearch

Tag it with relevant keywords.

Publish it.

Pop the unique link that is generated into Kuleping and KuleSubmit Pro Promote the link around the net.

Edit your article every so often and republish it to add new content.

Get Google listed fast and stay there month after month after month.

Oh and did I mention that Kulesearch is one of the most fun sites I have ever seen on the net.

You buy and sell and own keywords for profit and you will have a ball doing some serious marketing and serious SEO work over at KuleSearch.

Plus  you can pocket some dough at KuleSearch daily.

If you can spend a 1.50 doing this instead of 1500 per month, you gotta be nuts not to do this.

Go get um

Hello all!

Remember those new AffiloTools dashboard redesigns I told you about a few weeks ago?

Just a quick easter egg for your weekend - the first of those design/usability changes is now available!

If you log into AffiloTools, you should see our new, designs in the header navigation and sidebar.

There's still some stuff from the old designs and color scheme which won't change just yet (e.g. the project dropdown), but the sidebar menu should already look better and be more usable!

Enjoy!

Get early access to the Beta with an Affilorama Premium Trial; click here to get started

P.S. Did you know: any redesigned part of Affilorama can now be used on a mobile browser? We'll be bringing the same functionality to AffiloTools soon :)

Is Your Online Business Safe From the FTC?

We often joke that FTC is going to be shutting down affiliate websites everywhere, kicking in doors and taking huge fines from your bank account in the middle of the night. It’s a joke and it’s funny, except when the FTC is actually shutting down your business and closing down your website by using your own privacy policy against you.

Meet Chip Cooper, Esq… he represents Internet, software, and SaaS clients in the areas of website legal compliance, Internet marketing, intellectual property, and licensing and distribution transactions. In his presentation for the NAMS community this week he went over his “score card” to help you determine if you should be concerned about your legal liabilities. Looking at those score cards has been seriously eye-opening stuff for everyone.

==> Click here to check out the presentation, grab the score card and learn how the FTC can shut down your business if you’re not careful.
