How Twitter Can Help Your Business Grow and Grow

Twitter, can generate sales leads for your business faster than other social network, even with a slashed budget. So says David White, Founder and Chief Executive of Weboptimiser (http://www.weboptimiser.com) and he’ll tell you how your company can benefit from it when he presents his webinar during July.
He’ll explain how Twitter is generating up to half the hits on his company’s website, building their contact list and their reputation fast and effectively. With a successful background in SEO he is one of the best people in digital marketing to see the massive potential Twitter has for business and, what’s more, he’s investing his own time and money in spreading the message. His team of engineers and directors has been working on social media projects for two years and the work on Twitter has come from the last six months of development. David already has a strong following for his online services on Twitter, some of which are free, as are the webinars running on 14th and 21st July at 6pm UK time and 6pm US CDT. Each will last for 60 minutes including 20 minutes for Q&A. Join the webinar at http://bit.ly/Cxzmb
Most people now know that Twitter is a free service that lets you keep in touch with people through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: what are you doing? Once Barack Obama started using it the world sat up and took notice. It’s a phenomenal success with growth in one year calculated at 22-fold. It’s also said to have played a key role in the recent anti-government demonstrations in Iran.
But it’s the business application that David will be talking about in his webinar and you can join if you hurry, numbers are limited and going fast. He will share his experience in developing business applications for Twitter where there is a fast, measurable return. He’ll discuss the do’s and don’ts of Twittering that he’s learned the hard way or, as he puts it, ‘don’t try to work from scratch, you’ll be spending more time on technology than on your clients’.
He’ll emphasise the importance of getting your planning right, with clearly set objectives. He’ll demonstrate how you can turn followers into prospects and then into increased sales – and all in very short time and at a fraction of the cost of mounting a full marketing campaign. You’ll hear details of the surveys he’s conducted himself that show the effectiveness of Twitter and the competitively-priced packages Weboptimiser offers to get you Twittering and Tweeting with the best of them.

Salon Offers Its Bloggers 100 Percent of Revenue From Google AdSense

Open Salon, Salon’s social content site, today announced that it will provide a new source of revenue for its growing number of participants by offering Google AdSense to its members. Now, Open Salon’s members can profit directly off the number of visitors they receive to their blogs. Open Salon, which was launched last year by Salon Media Group (OTCBB: SLNM), will also now feature its own integrated ads throughout the site.
Using Google AdSense, members of Open Salon will be able to sign up for an account directly within the Open Salon interface. Users will receive 100 percent of the revenue derived from the maximum-allowable three ad placements on their pages, affording them the ability to benefit from the steadily growing traffic that the site enjoys.

Salon Media Group’s flagship web site, www.Salon.com, frequently highlights strong posts from Open Salon bloggers on its cover, sending high rates of traffic to individual users. Until now, Open Salon users — like many reader-bloggers on other media sites — have been largely unable to profit off of the traffic they receive. “Our philosophy from the get-go here has always been that we are publishing partners with our members,” says Kerry Lauerman, Open Salon’s Director. “They are wildly generous with their talents and energy as we try to help them find the smartest, largest audience possible. And we have always understood that if we profit, they need to profit, as well.”

Open Salon also offers a growth area for Salon’s advertising efforts, both through expanded display advertising on quality, editorially curated content, as well as through custom marketing opportunities, allowing brands to create and join conversations around topics and themes central to their brand positioning, engaging the audience in new ways.

The user-generated content site now boasts thousands of members, and continues to grow rapidly. Challenging its participants to “make the headlines,” the resulting content frequently makes the top placements in various social bookmarking sites. “The quality of content produced on Open Salon, and the enormous growth over the past year, have proven that the platform is a great success,” adds Richard Gingras, the CEO of Salon Media Group. “We see this as a great opportunity for our members, as well as for the advertisers who choose to work with us.”
