Where Business Analysis and Digital Marketing Intersect – Web Wednesday #3

Hey folks – ever wonder where business and all this digital marketing stuff meet?  Doug Geiger and I have an interesting conversation on where the rubber meets the road.

We cover the idea that there’s a lot of business owners and decision makers that are just simply overloaded with social media; some of the challenges of digital marketers in this tough time; and give some tips on what someone can do to succeed in this morass.

WW1 – Where to Start, Company or Personal Twitter Names, and What’s A Good Sized Blogging Audience?

Well, here goes.  The first “Web Wednesdays.”  Be gentle, it’s our first one in this format.

We took your questions and put together a podcast to answer them, and that’s Web Wednesdays.  In our first one, Erik and I talk about where to start in online/social media, whether you should use company or personal names on Twitter, and also, what’s a good sized blogging audience?

If you have comments, your own thoughts, or your own questions for next week, leave them in the comments below, email them to us at getstarted@portagemedia.com or leave a voicemail at 877.883.7389 x99.  We can either read your name on the air and link to your site, or answer the question completely privately.

Here’s the link to the podcast RSS feed. I’ll post in the sidebar this link as well as iTunes links (as well as some other services) when they get approved.

Ask Questions On Web Wednesdays Starting December 17th

I’ve had quite a few inquiries via email of “what do I do in X situation?” or, “I’m new. Where do I start?” or, “My competition is doing X, what I can do?”

Well, when it comes to online marketing, the Web Wednesday podcast is going to be for you.  But it’s going to be you-focused.

There’s three ways you can ask questions: You can leave your questions via email at getstarted@portagemedia.com; or you can call us at 877.883.7389 extension 99 and leave a voice mail that we may put “on the air;” or, conversely, post them in the comments on this blog.  And what’s even better than most “seminars” is that we’ll do private questions too.

What are private questions?  If you label your question “Private” in the subject line, we will mask your name, business, and industry (if it’s general enough to mask the industry; we’ll do our best).  That way, you can ask more sensitive questions for the benefit of the group but not necessarily “tip your hand” or worry that your boss is listening in.

We’ll be releasing it on the Wednesday, and remember to email or call in your questions! We will NOT sell your name or information, and unless you ask us to, we won’t pester you about hiring us either.  No registration forms, no muss, no fuss.  Just helpful information.

This will be a monthly experiment at first, but if there’s demand, we’ll ratchet it up.  We’re here to serve you.

p.s. – We may try to do this live eventually, but for the first few, we’re going to take it slow.  We want to focus on great answers and content first.
