    we’re flipping things around today today instead of you asking and I answer I will ask him what you do will be your answer. And they ask I’m asking you to do is to grab the new book. This is AI for marketers, the second edition. Here’s what’s in it for you. This is a book that was completely rewritten. It originally started as

    soon as a blog post actually my friend and Hanley had asked hey can you simplify AI a little bit for average folks and wrote a book a couple years ago and over the holidays went back

    was gonna revise it and edit and update it and like whoo so hit select all hit delete and started over this is the started over what’s in it for you is explanations of artificial intelligence specific

    Around machine learning for marketers, including five practical applications, though the five major techniques that you can use machine learning to solve for such as untapped data that you’ve just got laying around unclear data where you’re not sure what’s important

    and there’s a whole range of problems here but one thing I want to focus on is

    helping you understand and ask better questions especially vendors.

    A lot of vendors in the marketing space are slapping the AI moniker on everything someone called an AI washing and someone else very acutely called brainwashing what the AI capitalized and

    when you look at all their claims when you look at that we’ve got a artificial intelligence tied our product cool what kind

    and they would be able to give you a pat answer and says

    Explain to me what kinds of problems this thing solves and how it uses machine learning solve it. In this book, you will learn the four major mathematical kinds of problems that machine learning solves it. Regression clustering, dimension reduction in association and categorization.

    These four types of problems are problems that marketers run into. So regression problems are mathematically I have a series of numbers that I I know I want is the outcome, what numbers have a relationship to that number. So if you’ve got for example, conversions and Google Analytics, and you want to know all the other things like bounce rate, and time on page number of sessions, which one of those has the strongest mathematical relationship to the thing you care about? That’s a regression problem. In another example, suppose you have unclear sets of data you want see the relationship between types of data points. For example, suppose you are looking at customer data and you’re looking at

    recency, frequency and value of customers how do if you were to plot a customer and the on those three dimensional data points and you could see different you would see different groups of clusters of clusters of customers appear in this three dimensional graph, you obviously want to focus first on the high value customers and then start to take the lower value customers and nudge them up to being higher value customers. That’s a Clustering Problem. So in this book, you’ll learn these different major problems on how a is often

    there is no code in this book, none zero. And the reason for that is that again, over the holidays, one of the things that occurred to me was that

    asking a marketer to become an AI practitioner is kind of like asking a marketer to become a professional chef, right?

    You and I don’t need to be professional chefs to know what good food is and to know how to ask for it or know where to go for it. We just know that there are people who, for whom that is their specialty.

    We, as the educated consumer can decide what we like and what techniques or chef uses, maybe pin, but we’re not going to open on restaurants. The same is true of artificial intelligence. It is unrealistic, unfair, and, and probably silly to ask a marketer, particularly a really good marketer to become an artificial intelligence specialist. There are people who do that there are people who can take your data and turn it into incredible, impactful results. So let’s let them do that. And let’s instead focus on how can marketers ask better questions to identify who those good people are and who the people who are not as qualified art. That’s not to say you should just abandoned all math by no means, you know, you still should learn how to use things like Google Analytics, but for machine learning and artificial intelligence. The book will instead help you to get an understanding of the landscape. The concepts learn the key concepts learned the big questions to ask and

    There is a chapter in here at towards the very end called the down the rabbit hole that if you do want to dig in and and play with these tools you absolutely can. There’s a whole list of courses and books and things that that I recommend that many of which are free that you can use if that’s something you want to do. But

    this point which is what I think is a useful one for everyone who reads the book to get is you don’t have to, you don’t have to become a machine learning expert machine learning will find its way into all the products you use. You just have to figure out how to ask to have it applied to the types of problems you’re trying to solve. So the electronic book the book is on a if you go to AI for marketers book.com if you want the paper one the paper one is available on Amazon it is more expensive because you’re doing up an actual tree. So

    for environmental purposes just go to go to AI for marketers book.com and and get the slightly less environmentally damaging one.

    But instead of us guy answer I ask Please give the book a look. Grab a copy if you want to be able to ask better questions about the use of artificial intelligence in marketing and thank you for your support

  • You Ask, I Answer: Large Event Monitoring?

    You Ask, I Answer: Large Event Monitoring?

    John asks, “What data would you be looking at about the Super Bowl and marketing?”

    First, a bit of clarity: the NFL highly regulates all of the branding around the event and has an army of lawyers that hit harder than Elandon Roberts. So, monitoring around the event can be challenging, and certainly before launching any campaign involving any of their trademarks, you should clear it with your legal counsel. That said, we’ll walk through some of the basic steps in the process of monitoring to see ways you could pick apart the data and some common best practices.

    FTC disclosure: the software I use in the video, Talkwalker Analytics, was provided to me as a reviewer without financial cost.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, john asks, What data would you be looking at about the Super Bowl and marketing. Now

    first, a bit of clarity

    the NFL

    highly highly regulates any and all marketing and branding around the event and has an army of lawyers that will hit you harder than Landon Roberts if you do not

    strictly adhere to their guidelines, which means

    no using logos of any kind, no, no large parties and what you charge admission know counterfeit goods obviously

    now, but even what you post online has to be of a journalistic nature rather than a commercial nature. So if you’re trying to make money, essentially, the NFL is saying, if you try to make money off of our thing, we’re going to give you the beat down. So understand that any marketing that you’re planning on doing around to the the event, you want to be super careful and make sure that your legal counsel

    has approved it all. Because you do not want a lawsuit from the NFL, they they will crush you.

    So that’s it. Let’s take a look at some of the content and and ways to pick this

    apart, we’re not

    going to say create anything here we’re going to look at what’s being done and what’s in the space. And I’m using media monitoring software and get a sense for

    ways you could

    also potentially take a look thing. So this is talk Walker’s media monitoring software, which is the software we use disclosure

    for being reviewers of it, we receive free copy of it for FTC purposes. When you look at

    the Superbowl, put in the hashtag. And look at the last 30 days, you can go up to 13 months,

    you want to anytime we doing this kind of data analysis, you want to get a quick lay of the land and see what’s going on. So like there’s an unusual drop in sentiment here,

    let’s take a look some of the hashtags and common themes around the Super Bowl, because what

    you’re going to find are some immediate best practices we see here,

    some people don’t like the New England Patriots, that’s fine,

    there are some emoji that we would probably want to incorporate

    knowing what’s in there some other things and then

    the greatest infection of

    our day. And the thing that as a

    marketer

    you need to be aware of, and you need to be filtering out for his politics, their politics invades

    everything, and it can really throw your data, especially

    if you’re just trying to get a sense of things like sentiment or tone

    or specific phrases, we see good old politics, rearing its ugly, ugly head within a sporting event. So

    let’s go ahead and refine our query.

    I’m going to pause the video and just do a whole bunch of typing here.

    And what you see here is we’ve gathered some the different hashtags and the different terms and uses of terms from this

    sort of collection of things.

    And we’re going to put them the ones we want into a

    query here. And then we’re going to also put in

    all of the political terms that for the purposes of trying to understand how to market around this event,

    probably just don’t want, we’re going to take this back into our

    software.

    Now, let’s watch and see how things change.

    So we have removed

    a lot of the political junk, which is not was not helpful.

    And then if we look at our basic key metrics,

    that big spike downwards we saw, it’s gone. Now, if you wanted to be marketing on that negative sentiment, I’m not sure why. But if you wanted to, you could, that’s you could isolate and maybe reverses quite a focus only on those terms within relationship to

    the event. But in this case, we don’t want that stuff. And now we have a much better sense of what’s in the audience. So if you look at the demographics,

    we get a sense of what are the topical interests, no surprise, of course, sports, family,

    etc, different occupations, languages, the age brackets, now, this is all

    social media today to derive from people self identified profile. So understand that there are potentially

    some sampling issues. But directionally, it’s not a bad way, look at at the type of audience that we’re working with. And then we can go in, and we start to inspect some of the results, some of the things to see what the most engaging content is.

    So we look through here, see, we have a Gladys Knight, we have the different teams, you can see some of the different metrics

    that

    constitute what what types of engagement

    so

    this one has 55,000 Facebook shares.

    So in terms of marketing around the Super Bowl, what already catching people’s attention, we can get

    a sense of it from these engagements, we can also sort by things like your audience reach, or trending score, in terms of how fast a trend is growing

    contests,

    etc.

    Still got some politics to get rid of.

    But this is how you would tackle Pun intended the marketing around any major event, it could be, it’s not just the Super Bowl could be CES, it could be dream force, any major event, you want to go through for a first pass, look at the broad topics and themes, what’s in here, what’s catching people’s attention, and then filter out stuff that you don’t want that, you know, is spurious. And these days,

    it’s almost entirely going to be politics,

    you’re going to be reducing your your volume of monitoring. In some cases, you’ll chop out

    a quarter, or maybe even a third of your data, because it’s people hijacking hashtags and concepts and threads in order to yell at each other.

    And then once you’ve got a clean or cleaner sample of what it is that you’re looking for, you then go through and start looking for a couple of things. First,

    you want to get a sense of what’s common, what are the things that that have a major discussion topics. And

    you can do this through topics through hashtag and individual words and phrases,

    you can take a look at this case, who are the major

    piece people involved

    individual brands.

    And then the thing that I like to look for

    as well, is I’ll export the data itself and run some machine learning on the data to find what’s not shown on screen. But what is

    semantically important, but not prominent,

    because these are the sort of the, the outliers in in a conversation that say, Okay, this is a few people are talking about it. But those few people talk who are talking about are talking about it in a way that may be important. It’s something that would escape algorithms that are based primarily on popularity.

    So concepts that we could make use of

    this is really important at a show like CES, for example, where if you want to, if you want to understand a potential

    trend bubbling under the surface, you would need that type of machine learning. So there are lots of different ways to

    to pursue this data to understand this data. But look for the big stuff, look for the cert the bubbling up stuff but most important filter the stuff filter

    filter filter until you’ve got a clean data set and

    that’s going to take you a while and a lot of practice so I understand that that is one of the things to look at. So

    that’s how

    you do large event monitoring around anything.

    Most media monitoring packages offer some level of sort of analysis I happen to like talk Walker’s because it’s very flexible and the data exports really good for doing machine learning and stuff, more advanced stuff that no tool offers currently in market. So great question john. As always, please subscribe to the newsletter and the YouTube channel. I’ll talk

    to you soon want help solving your company’s data

    Do you feel like you get lost at big conferences

    I sometimes do. Where there’s so many people to meet and talk to and and get to know and so many sessions to attend

    that you get a lot of experience.

    Don’t get me wrong. Some of these big conferences are amazing for what you can learn and from the networking you can do, but sometimes you don’t want something a little smaller. Sometimes you want something that where you could actually get to meet everybody at the event.

    One of these is the helo conference it’s going to be in New Jersey March 28 2019

    I’m going to be speaking at

    Katie Rivera from Trusted Sites will be speaking at Mark Schaefer will be speaking at it, and it’s going to be one of those great events that is limited to about 100

    ish people. So can’t have, you know,

    10 or 20 or 30 or 50,000 people just trying and navigate your way around, you actually be able to meet everyone who’s going to be attending the event

    for what I’m going to be sharing at the event, we’re going to do something a little different. Most of what I’ve been talking about lately has been sort of the why and the what of artificial intelligence and machine learning for marketing purposes, for business purposes, how it’s going to impact your business. And I want to first

    an event like this,

    where there’s a chance to sit down with people and actually talk to them and ask questions, interact with people

    want to do something a little bit different. So we’re going to talk about

    AI machine learning automation, process automation and data science. But

    focusing a little bit more on some specific ideas for implementation that you can use that at this point, I’m going to assume you’re conceptually bought into the idea that

    machine learning and process automation are good things, but how do you apply them on a practical level, particularly to digital marketing and social

    media. So let’s look at just a sort of a hint or a teaser of one example. And with the promise that

    if you attend the helo conference, we can dig into some of the more some of the details and some other ways that you can adapt this technology to your specific

    use cases. One thing that I find is a used to be very time consuming, what social media was

    trying to figure out what to share, because you don’t want to just share yourself, that’s not exciting, and nobody likes it.

    So you have to share other stuff. But one of the problems with sharing other stuff is that you it’s very difficult to measure it. And it’s also very difficult to curated effectively. So one of the things we did at trust insights was

    because we’re a startup and we want to spend our vast majority of our hours

    serving clients and serving customers and not just, you know,

    reading through articles,

    built some software that ingests blog feeds from reading people, logs, analyzes them

    for key topics and for things like click through as measured by open API’s like Billy and then creates social ready posts that you can load in batch

    to services like a Gora pulse or buffer and things like that. So this is an example of what the interface looks like. It’s not It’s not the world’s best interface it this is a sequel database

    and income the articles there scored by the by certain specific topics. Is this article about things like Google, or is it about social media was about AI? Or is it about IBM is about women in technology? Is it about leadership and strategy? Once we know what an article is about, we score it and if the The score is above a certain threshold, we then feed it to a link shortener. In this case, the bitly link shortener using link retargeting so this is a concept that not a lot of folks use link retargeting allows you to not only track the links

    that you share on social media, but then also pixel, the people who click on those links and be able to show them ads later. This is a very valuable thing to do, because it now takes all that curation and helps you derive value from do I monetize it.

    If you know, for example, that the links that you share about health care or b2b or b2c are resonating with your audience. You can then

    target those audiences with advertising that says, hey,

    here’s a new b2b, white paper or a new healthcare white paper or

    video on YouTube or whatever goals you wanted to achieve with your social media marketing.

    You will

    do that with link retargeting. So if I flip over to my my retargeting system here, this is a system I use called stack adapt. I’ll put a link in the show notes if you go to trust the insights.ai slash stack African

    and more about the service.

    You can see I’ve got some retargeting audiences for healthcare links for b2c links for b2b links.

    And the number of people that have clicked on those links the last click on the b2b link was four hours ago on a be a ceiling was a an hour ago, and this about 9000 people from my social media in those audiences.

    Now that’s for social media, specifically people who are clicking on links I share on Twitter, on Facebook, on LinkedIn,

    not really on Google Plus and

    by tracking people

    who go outbound who click on somebody else’s content not on my content on somebody else’s content like articles from the washington post or Digital Trends or Scientific American

    I know where people are going and I know

    what’s of interest and I know I can target folks with advertising regardless of whether they follow me because if an influencer shares a post I publish I can

    as long as I use the link shortener

    I can track the clicks on their stuff so you it’s a way to to help expand your reach and you’re the value of influencer marketing by saying hey, this influencer shared this link but anyone who from the influence of hauntings or clicks on that link is enrolled in our inner retargeting audience. So

    this is a very

    quick glance

    at what you could learn at the Hello conference. If you attend. Now, I would encourage you and there’s a there are two ticket levels. There’s an early bird level for just general sessions. And there’s a VIP breakfast which is is more expensive, but you get a chance to sit down with people like Mark and and people like me and

    talk through these very specific situations, talk through ways to apply these technologies to your business and use cases. And we can demo in a little more detail how these things work. So I hope you get a chance to attend the helo conference. It’s going to be in New Jersey. So it is literally a stone’s throw from New York City probably about 25 minutes driving time from New York as a live in New Jersey. So everything’s 25 minutes from something

    and it’ll be a march 20 2019.

    Hope to see you there

    want help solving your company’s data analytics and digital marketing problems. This is trust insights.ai today and let us know how we can help you

    You Ask, I Answer: Robust Email Marketing Software?

    Luis asks, “I’m in charge of our department news letter, which is meant summarize any major accomplishments of the core teams, as well as updates on new staff, awards, events, etc. Right now I’m using a tool that I don’t think is the best for the amount of content I need to send. To start it doesn’t give me enough data on links clinked, open rates, open times, amount of time opened, etc. It also doesn’t have layouts that are very customizable. Do you have something you’d recommend with versatile layout (most important) + strong reporting data. Free is better, but cheap is probably doable. Going to be trying mailchimp next, but used it a few years ago, and was not impressed.”

    The big questions are how much you have to spend, how technically savvy you are, and what features you need. Some fantastic tools exist for integrated email marketing, along with many standalone email providers. Generally speaking, the more you do yourself, the less something costs. In this video, I review a few providers whose software I like including:

    In today’s episode Luis asks I’m in charge of our department newsletter which is meant to summarize any major accomplishments of the core team as well as updates on new staff awards etc. Right now I’m using a tool that I don’t think is the best for the amount of content I need to send to start it doesn’t give me enough data on links clicked open rates open times amount of time open it doesn’t have any layouts are very customizable do have something you’d recommend with a versatile layout which is the most important strong reporting data free is better but cheapest probably doable going to be trying MailChimp next but used a few years ago and was not impressed okay so the big questions when it comes to email marketing software are How much do you have to spend how technically savvy you are and what features you need. There are some fantastic tools for email marketing out there along with them. Number of email provider Stamler providers and the world has moved very much to a SAS model on a lot of this so there aren’t as many standalone things now generally speaking, the more that you do yourself meaning the more that the software is sort of a standalone thing the less going to cost

    so let’s talk about a couple providers that I think might fit the bill MailChimp is not bad

    depending on how large your department isn’t how large this newsletter is you might be able to get away with just using MailChimp even at its free tier if it’s if I think it’s like under 100 or 200 contacts you should be okay they’re the same is true

    trying to think HubSpot charges for the the email marketing portion so yeah so MailChimp would be a good place to start

    you can look into Constant Contact, I still don’t like this offer. I don’t like the interface. It’s feel like it’s trapped in 2003.

    But they’re they’re fairly well known Emma email marketing is fairly well known,

    I would take a hard look depending on how technically savvy you are, take a hard look at the melodic self hosted marketing automation package. Now, this is marketing automation software. So it has contact tracking and re robust reporting. It has a very good email marketing feature. I like the fact that you can just dump your raw HTML into it and it will send it out

    I pay about eight bucks a month to run my almost time we newsletter which sends to 25,000 people per send

    a week and I use Amazon sex on the back end. But if you’re doing it internally within a company, you should be able to use your company’s own email servers as the sending mechanism that will avoid your email game trapped and spam and stuff like that. Here’s the catch with melodic it is

    at the self hosted level very difficult to do because you need to be comfortable using bit Nami, which is a disk image for servers, you need to be comfortable self hosting your own server and you you can use Google Cloud or Amazon AWS or any other cloud providers. Or you can host it internally in your organization for free,

    you know, parked it on a server within inside your firewall. But it is it requires technical expertise at the self host level, they do have a cloud hosting option, which is not not inexpensive. So keep that in mind as well. The other thing to do is check out some of the review sites. So this is an example this is G to crowd, which is a site that I’ve actually done a couple reviews on, done some on cap terror as well. And they have these lovely grids based on what they call market presence or how much data they have. And then the sort of aggregate of the reviews the way I read this chart and recommend that you read it for purchasing decisions as everyone in their cousin goes to the top right, who’s the who’s the top right? The highest satisfaction, biggest market leader?

    Well, that’s good. If you want to work with the market leader,

    you may not want to because of cost reasons, because the market leader will have market leading costs a lot of cases.

    So what I like to look at is on the satisfaction scale, look in this lower right hand quadrant, who’s in here that is garnering high satisfaction but not necessarily big in the market, which means that you may be able to to get a much better value. So for example, there’s Emma robe, Lee open moves. So there’s a bunch of providers down here that would probably love to do business with you because they’re not up here getting all the attention. The same is true on the marketing automation front HubSpot up here and HubSpot will eventually cost you a lot of money Salesforce par dot and the Salesforce ecosystem in Marquette, oh, they will cost you a lot of money to start way down here, there’s a bunch of these much smaller providers, high satisfaction ratings, but not much market presence. So there may be a deal to be had there. So that’s an option as well,

    I would avoid using templates within a marketing automation system, or an email marketing system. In terms of layouts. Ideally, you work with a

    designer and a developer to build an HTML template. And then you edit that in anything that can edit HTML, Adobe dream, Weaver

    Griffith blue Griffin, which is an open source package. If you are comfortable with the code itself, you can edit in any text editor. But having a designer build your own email template for you

    means that you can then edit it in any package. And then when you’re satisfied, you just copy and paste the code right into whatever email system you’re using them that way, that’s not as an important feature because you just editing HTML. So real good example in in my almost timely newsletter, what I do for that is I write everything in the markdown line, which you can see here, and then I auto convert it to HTML. And then that has, you know, that does all the formatting stuff for me. Now, that’s a very technical way of doing and also my newsletters, not going to win a Design Awards. So

    you will probably want to do something slightly differently. But the concept is the same I added offline tune it, I can preview it at any time in a web browser to see how it looks. And then when I’m satisfied with it, I can then go dump it just copy paste right into the email marketing system rather than the drain and mess with other people’s templates. Because I’ve never gotten that to look good and not as good. The other thing is, if you don’t have a designer, there are a ton of really good talented designers, online need to freelancers, there are design companies like 99 designs which will will do a template for 99 bucks or whatever so take a look around see who’s out there so you can craft the template that you want and then that becomes less of a consideration when you’re choosing the email service part at that point it really is down to the reporting but the cost and and and whatever the other secondary capabilities you need to have I would give marketing automation software a good look because

    unlike just opens and clicks if you use marketing automation software, well you can deploy it on your website and track just those that that into people to see what content do they browse on your your blog,

    our employees reading the blog, that’s something you would want to know

    how engaged are they digitally, you obviously want to obtain permission and do all the required compliance things. But marketing automation software is good at telling you how effective your overall digital marketing is. And if you use it for employees, it tells you how engaged your employees are. So it’s an employee engagement tool for the digital space. So something to think about. Anyway,

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Jamie asks, do we need a list today, or just a solid message, a list, meaning a database of customers that, and the ability and permission to reach out to them is more important than ever. And it’s especially

    important that you own your list.

    So what I mean by this is, a lot of marketers think that your

    Facebook page or Twitter page, or Instagram page, whatever, whatever the thing is, is your mailing list. It’s not it is an audience. And it is valuable, certainly not going to say that it’s not valuable, but you don’t own it, you have very little control over it. And at

    any given time, as a whole bunch of people have found out over the years, your ability to reach or permission to reach that list can change in some cases drastically,

    rewind deal five or six, six or seven years ago, when organic reach on social media was

    all at marketers could talk about, hey, we’ve got so many fans, and so many fans on our Facebook page likes and all this stuff. And now, of course, as marketers look at the data,

    they realized that these channels, the unpaid version of these channels is

    not performing for obvious reasons. These companies, you know, Facebook and Google and such need to make money, and they make money by you running ads. So those pages, and those channels are not your list, they are an audience. And though they are a source from what you can harvest a list, absolutely. But they’re not the list itself, the list is one of six factors that we need in order to be effective,

    those six factors are, they follow, you know, the, the six W’s who will where, when, why, and how. So

    your list is who and this is vital, and you need to own your list. And it can be the the gold standard in

    most marketing is, of course, the email address. But it can be text messaging numbers, or phone numbers, or mailing addresses postal mailing addresses

    these days is really funny, you have to go where you have to go where your competitors are not paying attention.

    And so while everybody on the cousin uses email, because it’s the least expensive channel, it may not be the best one that you might be

    better off sending a piece of paper mail, because, you know, this is great chart, great comic cartoon were like 40 years ago, or 30 years ago, we were so excited to get an email, and they our mailbox is full of junk mail. And today, you know, we’ve got like 8 million emails. And the only thing ever comes in the postal mail is bills. So anything other than that is exciting to look at. So there may be an opportunity there. But it’s your list is a database of customers, and the ability and permission to reach out to them. So email, postal mail, phone number, direct, any kind of direct contact with those folks. And you can use direct messages on social, it is just going to be laborious, because many of the API’s for good reason haven’t throttled back and have significant limits on them, you have to do a lot of that work manually or outsource it to a contractor to do for you. You can’t automate it at nearly as well as used to be able to

    the What is the message the what is what is it that you are offering of value that will

    get your list to participate with you

    it’s not what’s for sale, it’s what the value is that you bring.

    And so make sure that the offer that the communication you’re

    you’re giving to your list has

    value that has benefit to them, regardless of whether they buy anything

    that said it is okay from time to time to ask for the sale. But probably not the first thing you should do, you have to give first bi calls that givers gain you have to give before you earn the right to ask value in return. The Where is your channels and distribution

    is not

    just list it has all those other channels we talked about. You need those because that’s where you’re going to harvest released from you’re going to harvest the list from a website traffic from your social networks, from advertising, you need to build that database from all the places you currently get attention. So YouTube or LinkedIn or wherever it is that you get eyeballs, you need to convert those eyeballs to that list. The when is timing, when is the best time throughout the year. One of the best times that people are paying attention to or asking about thinking about the the products and services, the content you create the value that you deliver. And you would use regular Google Analytics can help tell you some of that search analytics will help you help you with understanding that and predictive analytics will help you with that as well. And forecasting when on any given day, week or month, people will be asking for your thing. The Why is the strategy which we hope you would have, which is why are we doing this thing? Why are we building a list? Why are we focusing on these channels. And it is the most important part.

    But it

    still is it’s it’s like the main dish have a meal, right? strategy is the main dish for meal. And you can have just the main dish for a meal. But it sure is nice to have appetizers and dessert and beverages and things, all the things that go with it strategy without the how, which is the execution is useless. Just like execution without strategy also useless. So that’s what what you need in order to for solo printers, all the way up to the biggest enterprises, you need to be very clear about what those six things are your list your message, your channels, your timing, your strategy, and your execution, why you’re doing to these things, what are you doing, how you’re doing these things. And I can’t emphasize strong enough

    your permission based list

    email, postal mail and phone or or SMS

    is the most important thing that you can build in terms of marketing

    value. Because it’s yours, you have control over you have control over

    your reach to a much greater degree than you do on like, say, a social network.

    As long as you do think, you know the basics of like, hey, let’s make sure we’re not flagged as spammers. And you have control over what content gets seen, which is really important is something my friend Ann Handley says, There’s no algorithm, the filters what people see in an email, if they open the email, they see what you intend them to see, when you publish, for example, on social media,

    maybe 1% of your audience sees what you intended to see. But even when you’re paying and not necessarily getting to 100% of your audience.

    So those owned

    distribution lists are your gold mine, focus on them, build them, they are your insurance policy. If a social network goes south, and you have no email list, you’re in really bad shape. If a social network goes south, and you’ve got your list, you can say, Hey, folks, we moved over to here, follow us there, you can direct attention as needed. Again, for those of you who’ve been around in those the space for a while, you remember when my space was the big thing, and then it sort of cratered. And Facebook’s hook up its mantle.

    If you are on MySpace and you’d spent 10s or hundreds of thousands of dollars to build your MySpace page, you hadn’t harvested that list and turned it into an email list, you had a very difficult time pivoting to Facebook. Whereas if you had list could say, Hey, folks, looks like my space is going the way of the dodo. Let’s all go over to our Facebook page instead. So you need that insurance policy. So great question. Make sure you build your list, build, build, build that list. And speaking of which, of course, please subscribe to the YouTube channel and subscribe to the newsletter list. I’ll talk to you soon.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode Murray asks, Do you think it is worth it to put a lot of effort into one piece of content, or is one better off focusing on making more and smaller pieces of content. So this is the age old quality and quantity of content marketing

    today, quality for the marketer is job one, your content has to be high quality. And the reason why is this thing, these devices give us unlimited access to infinite amounts of information, or nearly infinite in nearly unlimited more than you could consume in your lifetime. More, you’ll run out of years before you run out of content. So as a result, the customer, the consumer, b2b or b2c, doesn’t matter. The customer never has to settle for anything less than the best when they are on this device. And they’re on YouTube, or blogs, or LinkedIn or wherever, they don’t have to spend any time on anything that is less than great, right? So good, or mediocre or good enough or Okay, doesn’t cut it anymore, your content has to be great, your content has to be worth spending the time which means that generally speaking, your content has to follow the three he rule has to be either engaging, entertaining, or educational. Engaging means that it is something that they’re emotionally invested, they get some kind of emotional benefit political news, for example, people are very emotionally engaged, and not necessarily to their benefit. But they are educational, they’re learning something, they’re improving themselves, they’re getting, they’re becoming a better person and entertaining, they, they are deriving satisfaction or enjoyment or contentment or something from that content, your content is got to be one of those three, ideally, it’s all three. But it has to do one of those things that has to do it really, really well as to better than then the other choices that the customer has in that time frame. So it doesn’t matter what the content is, if it’s a podcast, if it’s a blog, if it’s an email, if it’s a video like this, you have to be entertaining, educational or engaging. And if you’re not going to do for example, like the videos I try to publish every day are focused on education. And so I have to provide educational value better than what you’re going to get somewhere else, hopefully. And since I’m not particularly funny, and I’m not going to say outrageous, outlandish things, or swear at you know, for 10 minutes straight, I have to double down on the education aspect, because it’s not going to be that emotionally inciting.

    So that’s quality. Now,

    here’s on the question of where you should spend your time, you have to figure out how to get automation and technology working for you. So that you can create great quality content all the time.

    And you could do it at scale. So instead, it is not enough to publish one great piece of content per quarter, right? That’s just not enough people’s attention spans, they forget who knows what they forgot who should come to top of mind. And, and humans. We know this through the power of advertising. Humans remember more through repetition. When you seen that car insurance commercial 44 times

    in the last five days, you remember the brand you remember who it is. And there’s a good chance that by just saying just by saying the words car insurance, commercial, pretty much one of two companies has come to mind, right?

    Or

    you saw an ad your news feed for that Coffee Company, right? And it’s always there for for a month straight, there was nothing but pumpkin spice latte ads, pumpkin spice this right.

    Again, I say that Coffee Company. In your newsfeed. This probably one of three companies is going to come to mind because of the power of repetition. So in your content marketing, you do need to have frequency, you do need to be doing stuff often.

    So you need great quality content, and you need a lot of it, which means that you have to figure out how to make your content marketing processes faster and better. Now, here’s the catch about quality content quality content does not mean expensive. Content quality content does not mean a polished production, unless your company’s product is that content. So for example, if you are a video marketing company, yes, your videos should look expensive, they should look highly polished and publish, right? If you are in a podcasting company, your podcast should be like a spa massage for somebody ears, right? It should be that good for everybody else who’s core competency whose product is not the content format itself. Quality means that you’re providing education, entertainment, or engagement. That’s the definition of quality. So you can do something shot right on your smartphone like this with, you know, an inexpensive Mike like this in a basement like this. As long as you’re fulfilling the brand promise and creating entertainment engagement or education.

    How do you produce great quality content on a regular basis produce stuff that people want through stuff that people have asked you for? Go into your customer service inbox and pull out all the questions people ask you. And guess what? There is your content because, you know, people want to know the answers to those things.

    They wouldn’t email you about it if they didn’t.

    They is the whole reason that this series which is named after a book that Marcus Sheridan wrote called, they ask you answer. That’s the reason this series exists because

    I can inherently provide and you can inherently provide more educational, entertaining or engaging content by simply answering questions people have asked you or giving them what they want to know, in yesterday’s trust insights newsletter, I asked a question

    asked Would you be interested in a webinar or some content around personal branding? And so just don’t don’t worry about form just hit reply in your email client and reply Yes, I’d be interested to know it wouldn’t be interested in and a dozen people applied. Yes,

    I would like to know more personal branding. Well, guess what.

    Now I have a mandate from the people that I serve our customers that they want more content on personal branding. So it’s no longer I don’t have to guess what quality content is going to be for them. They told me they want stuff on personal branding. Cool, we’re going to do that.

    Ask your customers if you if your inbox isn’t full. Ask your customers

    What do you want?

    Our advisor Ginny Dietrich who runs spin sucks, calm has this fantastic one question survey that we sent out following her advice.

    If you read my newsletter, or you read the trust insights newsletter, you got this question, which is if we were to

    talk for an hour sit down to talk for an hour, what would we discuss?

    And I had over 300 replies to sort, categorize, filter, tag, etc. to categorize what you want.

    So ask your customers ask your audience

    that exact question. If you can’t think of a better question to ask

    that question. What would you what would we discuss for an hour people will tell you that some people give you silly answers. And that’s fine. Some people will complain if especially if your

    brand isn’t hasn’t done the best job but for

    the most part, people will tell you what they want. So that’s where you create quality content. And when people are asking questions like Maria asked

    if she could send me 15 questions to answer Sure, I’m going to answer questions, because that’s a great way

    to give you what you want. Because there’s a very good chance that you have very similar questions that Maria did. So great quality content just means being educational, entertaining, or engaging, and giving people what they want. At high frequency. You don’t need a lot of money. You do need a lot of knowledge in your industry, which I hope you have. And you do need to invest the time to create content and have a system put together to do it.

    Unlike some folks on you know, who have 10 or 15 or 20 person teams. This is a one person show literally the in the sense of what happens and I’ll put a link if you want to see how I produced the show every day is 45 minutes total to produce this show, you can do the same thing so I’ll put a link in the show notes to that as well. Thanks for the question. If you haven’t already, please subscribe to the YouTube channel the newsletter and I’ll talk to you soon one help solving your company’s data analytics and digital marketing problems.

    You Ask, I Answer: How to Measure Brand Awareness

    Ciri asks, “What’s the best way to measure brand awareness? Among all the searching I’ve done, it seems like people have a lot of different takes on measuring brand awareness.”

    The gold standard for how to measure brand awareness is unaided recall among your target audience, which typically requires a significant (five to six figures) but worthwhile investment in a market research firm like Edison Research. That said, you can begin to sort out brand awareness from a series of digital metrics that can inform your market research. The metrics to consider are:

    • Branded organic search, and the metrics it generates
    • Coverage, and the metrics it generates
    • Conversation, and the metrics it generates
    • Downfunnel metrics and business outcomes

    These three categories will generate something on the order of several hundred variables to process, which requires some data science techniques to properly process.

    • Ingestion and cleaning
    • Centering and scaling
    • Variable importance measurement
    • Outcome modeling
    • Intermediary KPI modeling

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Ciri asks, What’s the best way to measure brand awareness? Among all the searching I’ve done? That seems like people have a lot of different takes on measuring brand awareness. Absolutely. People have tons of different takes on measuring brand awareness. A lot of those things being done at and put out there are by individual vendors promoting their software. There is there are a couple of different ways to measure brand awareness. The gold standard for measuring brand awareness is unaided recall surveying among your target audience. So if your target audience is Chief Technology officers, you would commission a market research firm to check in with them once a quarter or whatever and say hey

    in your experience, please name five vendors who provide I don’t know email marketing services and see what these people remember. unprompted unaided. See if they recall Hall your brand and they do great, you’re you have brand awareness within your target segment. If it never name your brand at all. Is it okay, well, we’re not reaching the target audience. Now, market research. Proper market research requires significant investment. The firm I recommend typically is a company called Edison research. They do top shelf market research. And they do it properly.

    There are a lot of companies to call themselves market research companies. But

    market research like that should be the my friend Tom Webster who works at Edison research calls it reassuringly expensive,

    you should be planning on your mid five figures to low six figures for the budget to do something like that. Because you’re you’re going to want to check in with these people frequently. And you need somebody if your audiences like senior executives, you’re going to need credible market research companies. To get to those executives. You can’t just spin up a survey monkey and email them and you’ll get like a completely statistically insignificant response, right.

    So

    the second way, which is a precursor to the market research is to use some of your digital metrics to start to assemble a score that will inform your market research, it is not a replacement for market research, it is a a prerequisite of the market research to make sure that you’re doing the things you need to do in order to get people in the door. And

    that digital metric

    combination really comes out of four buckets. bucket number one is a branded organic search the number of people who search for you by name over time, and then the conversion metrics that go along with that. So the brand number of brand organic searches, returning users to brand organic searches, etc, etc, etc. That’s going to be you know, 2030 variables

    if it was a spreadsheet, like 20 columns coverage, so public relations, media relations, influencer relations, whose

    writing about you, what are they writing? What’s this sentiment? What’s the tone? What’s the importance? What’s the SEO value, what are the number of clicks on articles, social shares, all those metrics around coverage are a second big bucket that’s you’re gonna you’re talking

    potentially another spreadsheet of 50 or 60 columns. The third is conversation, people talking about you, and this could be influencers, but it could also be regular people, your target audience, and then all the subsequent metrics that those generate likes, comments, shares,

    pro profile clicks, all the works, that’s going to be a gigantic spreadsheet. And finally, in the fourth bucket, you’re going to need off your down funnel metrics. So you have your awareness sort of top of funnel, then you have web traffic, new users, returning users time on page by segment, goal conversions, and then you get out of web analytics. You go into marketing, online system, your

    marketing, qualified leads, sales, qualified leads, opportunities, deals, one deals, loft, etc.

    You’re going to need to put together the spreadsheet and the spreadsheets going to have

    probably several hundred columns,

    you will need data science

    techniques to properly process this data.

    There is no there’s no human way to do this, at least not in anything that would take you less than two years are you doing nothing but that

    because it is a massive undertaking

    the it’s a five step process you need to do ingestion and cleaning mean take all the data info the sources, clean it up, fixed, missing, or broken data, remove anomalies, and so on, and so forth. So that’s step one. Step two is what’s called centering and scaling where you need to normalize the data so that you can do apples to apples comparisons a little more cleanly. For example, if you are looking at branded organic search, and you’re looking at social conversation, this is going to be have very different scales. So it’s very difficult to do a comparison of those metrics without normalizing them scaling sent to them, scale them, make them more like each other. The third step is doing what’s called variable importance identification. And that is that a lot of cases that’s going to take actual machine learning to run

    every possible combination of those variables against a, a, an outcome, a target, like

    sales,

    and figure out which metrics in combination have a high correlation to the

    actual outcome you care about.

    We know that, you know, there’s, there’s a sequence within the funnel, people don’t necessarily, you know, they don’t follow linearly, but they there is a path from awareness to purchase, people don’t make a purchase without awareness. That’s a, that’s a logical. So the variable importance measurement helps you identify the variables, a mathematically high relationship,

    once you’ve done that you’ve gotten rid of, you know, 80, 90%

    of the variables that don’t have any mathematical relationship to the outcome you care about, you’ll want to build a couple of models, you’re going to build an outcome model which says, Hey, we, if we want more sales, we need to test doing more of these things. And then you’ll go back and rerun variable importance to do what’s called intermediary KPI modeling.

    And this is especially for bigger companies.

    There are a lot of dependencies on a sale

    problem. I used to have it at a company just to work with was that marketing kept being asked for more and more and more leads every quarter more leads, more leads, more leads, and sales was closing at something like a 1% closing rate. So benchmarking off of sales, as the only outcome meant that a lot of marketing data got thrown out. Because the salespeople were incompetent. They they couldn’t have sold fire to a freezing person, and

    so intimidated KPI modeling says, okay, for your department, what outcome Do you have responsibility for if you work in corporate communications awareness, maybe the variable to measure for if you’re the web guy or the web girl, you know, new traffic to the website is your KPI. And so you’ll want to rerun that variable importance for each departmental outcome so that each department understands, hey, these are the things that

    we know contribute to the outcome that we care about. And again, build models for that. And then the last step of the process is, once you’ve got these models, you have to test them. If, for example, tweets on Tuesdays, that contain a poop emoji have the highest mathematical correlation to the outcome you care about. You cannot assume that correlation equals causality, you have to build a testing plan to say, Okay, now let’s do five more tweets on Tuesdays and put three poop emoji and the tweeting instead of two and see if that commensurate increase in activity

    yields to the command a commensurate increase a proportional increase in outcome. And so there’s that testing plan to bring to life that model and and validate that the model either works or does not work it this is the scientific method, just using a lot more math and data, you come up with a hypothesis, you test it, you analyze it, you find your hypothesis, until you’re you have a proven model. And that’s how you develop a working model, a working measurement model for brand awareness. You can’t just throw a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet, average them and add them all up and call it brand awareness. Because you don’t actually know what does and does not contribute. You have to go through this process of testing. And you need to use data science and machine learning if you want the model to be credible and proven and and develop a testing plan that is workable because again, if you’ve got a spreadsheet with 500 variables, testing each one and then testing each combination of one you have run out a lifetime before you you get through you. One testing machine has to help you do it. So great question is a complex question and it requires data science help. It’s not something that you can build a credible model for by yourself just with a spreadsheet. If you have follow up questions, please leave them in the comments.

    You Ask, I Answer: Email Marketing Tools in 2019

    Roger asks, “If you could only use 3 marketing tools for your email list in marketing campaigns which 3 would you choose?”

    There’s an easy answer and an answer which will give you a competitive advantage. The easy answer is a solid martech stack – comprehensive web analytics, great marketing automation (which includes email), and a rigorous CRM. But that’s table stakes, the table minimum as we head into 2019. There’s something that will give you a competitive advantage. Watch the video to find out what it is.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Roger asked if you could only use three marketing tools for your email list in marketing campaigns, which through would you choose? Oh, that’s kind of an

    interesting question. There’s easy answer to that question. And then there’s an answer that will give you a competitive advantage. So rather than the just restrict ourselves to three, let’s dig into this a little bit. Now, the easy answer is a solid marketing technology stack, which means you need great web analytics, a great marketing automation platform, which includes email marketing capabilities, and a rigorous CRM that tracks your data appropriately, and gives you thorough reporting about what’s happening with your business,

    those would be the the basic three marketing tools that you would need in order to be able to do marketing effectively, or at least today. But that’s, that’s the table stakes, that’s the

    bare minimum that you need. As we head into 2019, if you want a competitive advantage, you’re going to need to do something that none of these tools currently do. And that is you’ll need to extract the data out of all of them, and do rigorous statistical analysis, rigorous data science on them on all that data to figure out what’s actually working. So consider for a moment what you know, about a name and an email address, which is probably what you have a fair amount of in, in an email marketing system, what can you know, just from that, you can assess the probability and I emphasizes probability of gender, you can know in some cases, depending on the type of name

    I probability of age, because there are names and you can go to France, baby name sites, see the rising and falling trends of different types of names from the email address, you can get the top level domain.com.org country level code.uk.us, you can get the company name itself, and there are certain email providers that you’ll know that you can determine our our nonprofit or for profit,

    there are the webmail providers, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo, things like that. And then there are domain lookup. So you can do if you are skilled at extracting data out of public systems, you can query any number of the domain name servers to ask for the company name. So what is, you know, who runs gmail. com, who runs trust insights.ai. And these are examples of ways you can pull data out of the domain name registry system, if it’s publicly if it’s allowed, if it’s publicly disclosed, to get a better sense of what is the company and then from there, you can do feature engineering to figure out are these companies reasonably good companies to have in our database for the purposes of marketing, that is data science, that is the investigations all it’s almost dated

    detective work to take what is a very thin list a very thin

    amount of data and augmented to engineer it and augment it to bring in the lots more data that you can then look at outcomes. If you’re doing your email marketing. Well, you should have a score next to each email address, for example, number of opens number of clicks, if you’ve done a good job of if it’s if your email marketing is being run through your marketing automation system, you should have great data about the number of times and the value of those conversions that in any given email address has done in your database. So downloaded a white paper, a webinar book came to a trade show event booth,

    put something in their shopping card, walked in the store, sign up for the loyalty program, you name it, there’s any number of interactions that you could be tying back to the email address. If you’ve done that, then you can run an analysis to say, okay, we know these email addresses have all converted, we know these email addresses of all not converted, what do all the email addresses have converted, having common, what did all the email justice who have not converted have in common? Are there things that are traceable, that you can get out of your marketing automation software out of your CRM that was that say, this is the profile of who converts and this is important or to do this is this is important work to be able to assess and say, Yep, we now have a better idea of the type of person that type of customer the type of business that is likely to convert and turn into real dollars. The exception of course, and this something my CEO Katie or various that is that if you’re if you don’t have enough data, if your company is brand spanking new, and you don’t have enough data, you’ve got three customers, right, that’s not a statistically significant number of conversions. So you’re not going to get great data out of that. But you can get indicator data to test so you may not be able to have a million conversions. But you might have 1000 or 2000 website visitors, you might have 1000 or 2000 newsletter signups that would be ways that you could augment that data until you have the final conversion data.

    So the question of what email

    tools or

    or techniques should be powering your your marketing campaigns has to be more than the obvious ones in order for you to build competitive advantage. And competitive advantage is going to come through your data that you clean and

    prepare

    the analysis of that data to figure out what happened, what’s working what’s not at a very deep level. Remember, we just talked a whole bunch about feature engineering the insights which is potentially why the things happen, and you’re testing plan for them, and then changing your strategy to mirror that’s how you’re going to get competitive advantage in 2019 for email marketing, web marketing, Facebook marketing, whatever kind of marketing you’re doing, if you’re not approaching it from a rigorous data science perspective, a, you’re leaving money on the table and be you’re leaving opening for competitors take advantage of you. If you are using data science,

    you are potentially pulling further and further ahead of those competitors who are not using data as a competitive advantage. And you may be able to see as much more market share your disproportionate amount of market share.

    Now,

    if the market takes a turn in 2019. So there’s a possibility that it will but if a market if the market takes a turn,

    you’ll be important double down on your data science capabilities. And here’s why. What happens at every downturn does that a bunch of vendors and companies and competitors all go kaboom. Right, they go bust.

    And that means there is opportunity to take up market share, to take customers away from companies have gone under or vendors that have gone under and use that to seize an advantage.

    So you can

    acquire new talent very quickly at lower costs. You can

    double down on the customers you already have and deliver more value to them. But you’re going to need data for that. So make sure that you’re using the start down this path of using data detective work within your data today so that no matter what happens with the economy, you have a competitive advantage that very few other people are willing or able to get. Thanks for the great question. Roger Lee. follow up questions below in the comments. And as always, please subscribe to the YouTube channel newsletter I’ll talk to you soon.

    You Ask, I Answer_ 2019 Social Media Strategy

    Jenny asks, “What’s the best resource for 2019 social media strategy development?”

    The same as 2018! The overall strategy, the why – use social media to accomplish business goals – doesn’t change. What changes is the what and the how. Watch the video for details about how to build your 2019 social media strategy.

    We begin with clear, measurable business-level goals. This data has to come from a CRM and/or marketing automation software.

    Next, gather three sets of social media data – your company’s data, your competitors’ data, and your industry or niche.

    Run a statistical analysis of your data and the data from your CRM and marketing automation to determine what social media activities, if any, drive business outcomes. Use statistical techniques like variable importance calculation to do this. ML will be very helpful.

    Once you’ve identified the variables that potentially drive performance, compare your performance to your competitors and industry using the same variables if possible, minus the marketing automation and CRM data, which you won’t be able to see.

    Identify what works and what doesn’t. Begin qualitative research to answer the “why” for all the “what” questions you ask.

    Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t.

    If you’re concerned that your industry lags behind, it’s fine to compare to a different industry, but make sure that industry has the same functional buying process.

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Jenny asks, What are the best resources for

    social media strategy development? Well,

    so the same as 2018 and 2017 and 2016, the overall strategy of social media the why why you’re doing it doesn’t change. You’re using social media to accomplish business goals, What changes is the what what are you going to do and the how, how you’re going to do it.

    The way that we do it at trust insights is with a multi step process based on data. So you begin with clear measurable business goals. What is the business goal that you’re trying to accomplish in a business goal is going to be one of really

    six right

    On the b2b side, it’s going to be make money, save money, save time, those are those business goals on the b2c side, for the customer, it’s going to be make things better, faster, cheaper, so that the customer is more likely to buy it. So, but for the most part, companies are going to ask social media to to help them make money. Now, this may be expressed in terms like building brand or awareness and things like that, which is fine, but it still has to tie back to a a measurable outcome. And the way you get to that is you take all of your data from your CRM from your era p system, perhaps for your marketing automation software, and you extract that out into in a format that you can analyze. After that you gather your social media data and anything that sits between social media and the system. So chances are your web analytics are going to be in there.

    possibly even things like email marketing data, maybe if that’s an integral part of how your company communicates its business proposition to its customers.

    Once you have that, you want to gather three sets of social media data, you want to gather your data, you want to gather your competitors data, and you want to gather your industry’s data.

    After you have those, that set of data you’re going to want to your data and then all of your down funnel data. So that is web analytics CRM, marketing automation, CRM, etc. And you’re going to run a statistical analysis complex statistical analysis to determine using I recommend the certain machine learning techniques I recommend looking into one called variable importance.

    You’re going to run a statistical analysis to say okay, what an of the social media variables drives business outcomes.

    Any and you’ve got to be prepared for the answer to be none Do you have to, you have to be

    prepared for that potential outcome.

    However, once you’ve identified the variables that potentially drive performance, you’re gonna want to compare that performance to your competitors. And then the industry using the same social media variables. If possible, you’re not going to get the marketing automation and CRM data, not legally. So you’ll want to identify your own variables, the things that matter the most, perhaps it’s dates or times or particular types of content or

    actions that users taking its comments, for example, on Instagram,

    whatever the variable is, you then want to do the competitive competitive analysis with the your competitors and the rest of industry to determine

    is somebody else doing a better job with those things? And if so, what is it that they are doing that allows them to to win within your space?

    Identify what works and what doesn’t work.

    Now, here’s a tricky part which a lot of people get wrong. No amount of data mining is going to completely answer the question of why something works. You have to do qualitative research. You have to do focus groups. You have to do

    interviews, maybe do some surveys, something that once you understand why you don’t want to understand what is happening, you can ask the audience Why do they make those choices? Why do you like this brand? And why is this brand was brands, coffee, the one that you go to

    that will help you make more sense of the data and inform your strategy

    ultimately for every what

    variable you have, whether it’s comments, whether it’s likes, whether it’s

    follows you want to have a companion why question you’ve asked a sample of the population of

    Your population, why they made those choices. And then your strategy is you do more of what works and less of what doesn’t work. Now, one thing that people will say when you’re doing a social media audit is that in particularly will say

    my industry lags behind it, or my competitors are lagging behind. I’m concerned that following best practices, it’s totally fine to compare it to a different industry, but the industry that you compare to has to have the same functional buying process. So suppose you work in the car industry, the purchase of a car is a long expensive complex sale, if you were to use social media strategy from like a chewing gum manufacturer. Well,

    people are going to react differently to that product and and they will make different purchase decisions. It is a much smaller purchase than a car. And so things like awareness, consideration and evaluation.

    compressed

    the and the way audiences by is compressed. So you may want to compare the buying of a car to maybe what’s working in the mortgage industry or what’s working in the college industry because again, choosing an education is a big

    cumbersome and very expensive purchase. And so the purchase decision, the the purchase deliberation that people will go through it will be very different other other prized expensive possessions because people take a lot of pride in the vehicle. Do they own other other prized possessions that are expensive that people purchase that they would interact with a brand on social media perhaps, you know, certainly some laptops and very high end phones are very expensive and you might be able to get some comparative data about that. But even that the laptop purchase process even if it was several thousand dollars for the best ones is still different than a cars purchase. There’s no title there’s no paperwork

    Bring your credit card. And then you’ll marveling at the bill when you get it. So be aware. If you want to do competitive industry look for something that has the same functional buying process so that you are doing apples to apples with how a customer is going to interact with that brand.

    So that’s your social media strategy for 2019 or any year it’s the why the what and the how,

    where you will run into trouble is

    not doing enough with your data or especially when you do that statistical analysis trying to do in Excel trying to do it by hand. There is no time

    there’s there’s no convenient easy way of doing that without using some sort of machine learning technology because there’s just too much data you’re going to want to look at, you know, a year to date or or possibly a rolling year

    if you’re

    brand has five or 10 or 20 social media accounts or is on 15 platforms or you get the idea. That spreadsheet starts getting real big, real fast. And it becomes very difficult to analyze without the assistance of machine learning technology. So know that that is going to be something you’re going to have to have in your arsenal. If you want to use the method, we use it trust insights, you’re going to need to have machine learning on your side to pull that off. But great question. It’s a fun question. And this is the time where you’re when everyone’s starting to do the Hey, what worked, what didn’t work you want to answer those questions and do it with data so that you have the best possible answer for your planning. Thanks for watching. Please leave a comment in the comment and subscribe to the YouTube channel and the newsletter I’ll talk to you soon.

    You Ask, I Answer_ What's Working in Social Media Marketing_

    Paula asks, “What’s working in social media in 2018? What isn’t?”

    In this video, learn the 3 things that aren’t working today and the more-than-half-dozen things that generate results in today’s social media marketing environment.

    Let’s start with what isn’t:
    – Broadcast only
    – Unpaid only
    – Automated only

    What is working?
    – Stronger points of view
    – Somewhat unpleasantly, politics
    – More broadly, a position or stance
    – Algorithms favor engagement most
    – Paid is an essential part, even if it’s just boosting posts
    – Holistic approach across channels
    – Source-level attribution analysis
    – T-shaped media plan

    Machine-Generated Transcript

    What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for watching the video.

    In today’s episode, Paula asks what’s working in social media in 2018? and what isn’t really good question. This is a moving target. So this is being recorded towards the tail end of the year. But anything can change relatively quickly. So let’s start with what’s not working right now. Today, things that aren’t working or practices like being in broadcast only mode where you just dump your stuff out there and hope somebody notices it.

    unpaid social media only is not working in 2018. It has been working in quite some time. Social Networks require you to invest actual dollars in them in order to get any kind of juice out of them and fully automated only social media also not working great that you can have partial partial social automation.

    But you can’t do it all the way

    you there’s simply no substitute for having a human doing at least part of the work in social media we can dig into that in a second. So what is working today number one in your social interactions in your social media work, stronger points of view matter

    for good or ill we live in highly polarized very opinionated times and

    as brands and companies are taking a position and having a very strong point of view does matter does get people to to engage with you and to remember you somewhat unpleasantly politics works really, really well being an active participant in the discussions that are happening it is extremely risky but if you want to if you want to have social working for you, it is some of the best stuff because it’s

    The stuff people

    don’t know if they want to talk about it, but they feel compelled to talk about it and participate in those discussions,

    having a positions and stances in general taking a position on issues of the day, things that are topics on social good environmental,

    social, and governance, the same things that are making people change, how they invest in the stock market are also things that

    get people to participate with you on social media. So e s, g is the name of a particular some field of investing. Environmental social governance. People want to know the companies that they want to do business with are governed well and are using their money appropriately. They are paying attention to the environment and they are paying attention to core social issues.

    So

    that’s one of those things when it comes to what the algorithms are doing.

    Right now, there is a tremendous focus on engagement, and particularly rich levels of engagement. So even take the three fundamental

    actions people can take, like, comment, share, right? Whatever the like, or favorite fan or whatever you want to call that type of engagement. The little push the button is one. That’s the weakest signal of engagement. Because literally, your cat could do it. There is sharing, which is when someone shares your content. And then there’s competent when someone actually types out a response to you. All of the algorithms as of right now

    tend to focus on foot to favorite commenting. And so

    to the extent you can foster those discussions, you’ll do better I have seen particularly on LinkedIn the moment a post gets at least one comment, it starts to be seen by more and more people until you get a substantial amount of visibility

    paid is an essential part even if you’re just boosting You know, one

    host today you need to be doing something with paid social media. One of the better deals if Twitter is your network, one of the better deals Is there a $99 a month, you know, promote mode.

    It’s not bad.

    We’ve been testing at a trusted insights now for a couple of months and stop bad. It relies on you posting content that people will find valuable anyway, but

    it does its job. And in terms of a consistent always on easy to manage program. It’s difficult to be only if your audience is on Twitter.

    Your approach has to be holistic across channels. So one of the things that

    is important to do is to set down what each channel is for mentally and then do that. So YouTube, which is where this video is posted is very much the video channels where people go to watch videos, LinkedIn, their video capabilities right now are excellent, but LinkedIn is where people go for professional information.

    Facebook is where people go to connect with their friends and their communities in the groups that they ran. And so that’s

    there’s there’s that functionality and to yell at each other about politics,

    Twitter’s where people go for the news

    Instagrams, where people go for images. So thinking about

    the media you create, if you want social to be really successful, and you’re willing to invest a lot of time and effort into it, you need to take a piece of content and idea and be able to split it up into all these different formats and then put them in the appropriate format on the appropriate channel. Now,

    I don’t do this personally, because I don’t have time

    and me personally, I’m unwilling to pay somebody to do that for me. Right now. I am working on some machine learning stuff to try and

    do that a little bit more. But for right now, I don’t do that unless if I was running this for a company.

    would absolutely say, yeah, this is how you need to divide up your content and have the same idea, but have a taking approach across channels, optimizing for each channel as appropriate. If social was a key driver, which, by the way, brings me to another thing you need to absolutely, positively be doing strong attribution analysis of social channels. One of the things that goes wrong when people do attribution analysis as they do it to clustered

    and what I mean by that is that they, they say, social media is a channel Okay, let’s, let’s figure out what’s working in social media as a part of like search and referral and email.

    Social isn’t a channel every individual network as a challenge. Each network performs differently. So when you’re doing your attribution analysis, it’s really important to differentiate among the different channels. How does Twitter work for you, how does Facebook work for you? How does YouTube work for you? How does medium work for you and do it by source

    Rather than social media, it’s too difficult to get an idea of what’s working from that broad grouping. So make sure you’re doing an attribution analysis correctly.

    Finally, if you don’t have a ton of time, go for what I would call the T shaped media plan you’ve all heard in in in marketing the T shaped person who’s broadly good at a little bit of everything but focused on one thing for you

    if you are if you don’t have time to be good at every channel, pick one and said that’s the one I’m going to be really really good here I’ll check the box acknowledging I get terrible results on the things you’re just checking the box on but I’m the one that you’re great on double down on that triple down quadruple down on until

    you’re making stuff for that channel so my to that I focus on because the format favor that our LinkedIn video and YouTube video that’s where my focus is right now and I’m getting great results out of that.

    We’re getting less good results out of things like Facebook, I’m getting almost no results. But I’m acknowledging I checked the box on it to make sure that I’m there in case somebody looks, but it’s not my focus. And as a result, I don’t get the results. So

    lasting or leave you with is you unless you are dedicating a person to each channel, you cannot be good at everything.

    Because there’s so much different about every single channel. And the channel has gotten so deep now that you need to have specialization, so you can’t be at the Instagram and Facebook star and a Google star and a Twitter star and a YouTube star, you have to be good at one place first, and then branch out as you have the revenue and to end the awareness to support it.
