Why Marketing Automation Should Be On Your Radar

Date: Wednesday, September 26, 2018 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week Eric talks about two very powerful marketing automation (inbound) platforms, Hubspot and SharpSpring. You'll learn how the systems work from a "big picture" perspective, with features like lead scoring, form data collection, landing pages, CRM functionality, etc. Both are a great way to help manage your online presence and get more out of your visitor interaction.

We also talk about Pages joining Groups in Facebook and the return of chronological timeline in Twitter. Be sure to check out the webinar replay and let us know what you think!

Facebook Privacy and Our Cool Rocketbooks

Date: Wednesday, April 11, 2018 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week on the show, Eric and Jeff are back live and spend some time talking about their "awesome" Everlast Rockebook notebooks and all the cool ways they are using them with Evernote. While at the heart of it, you've got a notebook and pen... the cool part is that with the Rockebook app you can scan and send your notes, drawings, sketches, etc. to a variety of online services. Highly recommend you check it out.

Then we turn our attention to discussing Mark Zuckerberg's visit to DC to answer questions about Facebook's privacy and data sharing policies. Lots to talk about here and by no means will this be the last time we'll be hearing about this issue. Stay tuned as more information is available!

#SMMW18 - Recap of Social Media Marketing World 2018

Date: Wednesday, March 7, 2018 @ 1 pm Eastern

Join us this week when Eric shares a recap of his time in San Diego at Social Media Marketing World 2018. This event, organized by Social Media Examiner, featured over 200 speakers on topics ranging from the Facebook Apocolypse, chatbots, digital advertising, content strategies, personal branding, analytics, and more! It was one of, if not the, best events he's been to in his 10+ years as a digital marketer and chances are we'll have a difficult time getting through all of his notes in the hour we've got together.

5 Tips for Conquering the Facebook Newsfeed Changes

Date: Wednesday, February 21, 2018 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week we are "really" back (sorry about missing last week's show) and are excited to share some tips on how to conquer Facebook's newsfeed changes. In January Mark Zuckerberg announced some pretty significant changes to how Facebook will be handling information for the coming year, which will impact businesses and individuals that are not prepared to make some changes.

Heard of Facebook Zero or Facebook Apocalypse? These are two of the labels that marketers have been applying to this shift in organic visibility and it's continual decline. With so many businesses these days relying on Facebook as a key distribution point of information about their brand, the customer connection opportunity is one that you cannot afford to ignore.

Joining us to lead the discussion will be WSI's Director of Marketing, Cheryl Baldwin. As one of the industry leaders in the digital marketing space, WSI has been keeping a keen eye on these changes and we're excited to have Cheryl with us to share her insight.

If you've been seeing your Facebook activity decrease and need ideas on how to get things turned back in the right direction, you'll want to join us for this week's show. We look forward to seeing you live!

Facebook Makes Local Events More Visible With Their New Local App

Date: Wednesday, November 22, 2017 @ 1 pm EST

Does your business ever create, or participate in, events? If so, Facebook's new Local app may be worth checking out. Even if you're a personal user of Facebook - and we're willing to be you are - they are providing a great new way to check out all of the happenings that are going on around your area.

Another advantage of leveraging events in the Local app is it helps combat the continued decline of organic reach for business pages on Facebook. With some pages close to 0% organic reach, unless you advertise or get staff to share your posts, few (if any) of your fans are seeing the information you're sharing on Facebook. But with the Local app, those looking for things to do in their community can now discover you!

We'll be taking Local for a live test drive during the show and may even spend some time looking at a few of the other new Facebook services that have rolled out in the past few weeks. See you online!

Some New Social Media Trends and Features You May Have Missed

Date: Wednesday, August 16, 2017 @ 1 pm Eastern

This week Eric will share just a few of the slides he presented at the Indiana Bankers Association's Social Media Deep Dive full-day training session. While there's no way to cram in a full day's worth of information into an hour, there are a few key things that he'll share with the Free Webinar Wednesday audience. In particular, we'll talk about the increasing importance of your mobile strategy (and how Google's got a new tool to test the speed of your mobile website now), the power of video, and some new features for both Facebook and LinkedIn.

LinkedIn Announces Matched Audiences, Facebook and Twitter Video and Location-Based Marketing

Date: Wednesday, May 3, 2017 @ 1 pm Eastern

Eric's flying solo this week, so the show was a bit shorter than usual, but he still managed to jam pack a lot of information into the 30 minutes. As the title of the post indicates, there were really three main areas to chat about. Once we got over the little technical "glitch" in the video showing (yes, GoToWeinbar shut off the screen sharing for the first few minutes of the show - oops), Eric provides an overview of a new eMarketer report on location-based marketing strategies. Check out the report, it's chock full of great information (especially if you are a business that relies on people coming into your business to spend their money).

Next, Eric talks about some new video features coming to Facebook (cover images) and Twitter (live TV), and it will be interesting to see how these both shake out. Finally, the remainder of the show celebrated LinknedIn exceeding the half-a-billion member mark recently, as well as the launch of their Matched Audiences feature. This new tool allows marketers to connect to audiences on LinkedIn like never before. Combined with a marketing automation solution to help further build engagement via your web and email campaigns, this could be a real game-changer, especially for the B2B space.

Change Update: Eric and Jeff Talk about Facebook and LinkedIn Features (Some Good, Some Not-So-Good)

Date: Wednesday, March 22, 2017 @ 1 pm EST

This week Eric and Jeff spend some time revisiting the LinkedIn profile changes and discover some of the features from the "old way" are making their way back into the free version. Yippee! We also take some time to hop on over to that other social network all the cool kids keep using called Facebook. Just like LinkedIn, they too are making some changes and moving things around... especially if you're a page admin. One of the cool new features that you may want to check out is the Message feature for pages, as you now have the ability to create welcome greetings, auto-responders and away messages for those that come to your page (or hit you up on Messenger.com) to start a conversation.

We look forward to having you join us for the show!
