Hey Twitter, I Tried Ads and Here’s What Happened
I’ve read mixed reviews on Twitter Advertising. Not having used it myself, I thought it might be worth giving a shot.

We continue to educate businesses on the myth of attribution and the under-reported impact that social media has across marketing efforts.

The Best Way to Manage Multiple Twitter Accounts
Please tell me you’re still cheering on Twitter… I love the platform and probably always will. That said, I have struggled for months with the default Twitter desktop application for the Mac.

Starbucks, You Could Be Doing Social Better
I pull the social media card sparingly when I have to. As a business owner, I often cringe when I see a customer publicly flog a company online.

12 Ideas to Differentiate Your Content Marketing
I love the fact that our readers stick with us even though we don’t get too wildly creative. Curating and publishing a ton of infographics helps differentiate our publication from others out there – but we’ve not gone too far beyond that.

Visual Content Drives Comprehension, Engagements and Conversions on Social Media
Have we yelled enough about visual content? I don’t think so. Utilizing a variety of types of visual content continues to be effective. I was explaining this process to a local retailer this week and they were really having a difficult time believing the impact that daily visual content shared online could help their business. While I was there, I…

Here’s Why You Should Integrate Email and Social Media Strategies
We got a bit feisty when someone shared a email versus social media infographic. The primary reason we disagreed with the versus discussion was that it shouldn’t be a question of choosing one or the other, it should be a matter of how to fully leverage each medium.

They’re Wrong… You’re Not Tweeting Enough
A few years ago, I would have advised people against tweeting too much. In fact, it was a key reason why people unfollowed you on Twitter. Fast forward a few years and Twitter has gone from a few chirps per hour to a deafening roar of autoposts, fake accounts, spammers, and information at a velocity that simply can’t be digested…
