Social Media Points that Iranians Teach Us

I am following the Iranian massive rally. As far as Iran’s history is concern, this massive rally is by far the most well attended and dramatic. I am maybe bias in the sense that there is no twitter or internet in the past. Thus, people are very much unaware of the recent events in their respective places. After all, this is a decade where huge information are being shared to a lot of people. How Iranians communicate to stage a massive rally like this.

They are able to come with this kind of gathering, because social media is the instrument. CNN tells us that USA is  manning the Iranian Political Drama through twitter and Facebook, since the Iranian Govt. shut down all News Sites. It is cheap, ready to use, and can be delivered anywhere and everywhere. As you can see, these people are tired of old ways. They wanted reforms. They wanted freedom and of course jobs. How can Amadinejad give them jobs if they themselves would go to UAE or other places to look for jobs. In order for them to gain their aspirations, they have to change the system first.

This is the reason why the Iranian mullahs are very much afraid of Twitter and Facebook compared to US incursions or Israeli attacks.  Look at the diagram, how these protesters market their protests to other Iranians and to the world. These people became the journalists  of our times.

If the Iranian military will annihilate this thousands of live bodies more and more people will storm and rally on the streets. The Clerics must quickly extinguish the fire before these people will attempt to overthrow the Iranian clergy. Thus, it is wise to say the Election results this year are null an void than saying it is absolutely free from anomalies.

Do you think they can accumulate without much support if twitter and other social media tools are non-existent? Perhaps, it will be just another ordinary rally. But what makes this rally as extra-ordinary is that common people can now report directly to the world about what really happen. Iran cannot block or filter news as what they had done before. This is the age of transparency. Big brother knows what you are doing now.

If Iran is successfully opening up towards globalization. Then it is now truly living in its own freedom. Saudi Arabia will brace for itself, because the Persians are leaping forward to a more healthy and vibrant democracy.

Social Media help a lot by calling to attention. What we learn from their own experience is that liars, con men, and bad people are deem to be expose no matter how they hide themselves from the prying eyes of social media saviors. We really learn social media from this scenario.

The CNN Poll that tells us about Social Media

I chance to read something on CNN News and here it is…

Would you trust a Web site to help you make decisions?

yes

no

As you can see, I gamely choose the Yes answer. Then to my surprise, it is just 73% No and 27% Yes. This means that helpful websites and other sites, turn out to be a site of doubt. I am afraid that this is the end of non-communicating websites. People will be happy if you offer helpful topics and more than very very happy if you include forums, comments, and exchanges to support a debate or an argument. It is healthy to have this kind of atmosphere inside a website. You can’t just be DOGMATIC ABOUT YOUR OPINION. You are a mere human born to commit mistakes. This statement simply means that we need others to tell anything or something about the topic.

I hope that there is a way for everyone to come up with a solution. Maybe in a few years from now, almost all sites will have their own social media web page. I think this is the direction that most web masters think.At this time, there are lots of free social media marketing sites to choose. And you will really love to join them.

Sites will really be like a community in the near future. Small gadgets such as cellphones can easily access the internet. Hope that people will no longer doubt the power of the messages of social media marketing.

What if Amadinejad has his own Blog?

The Iranians revolt against their own, out of touch dear leader is the most popular news story this weekend. The winning candidate for President, Mr. Amadinejad, the great master conductor of Iranian opression is making a mockery of Iran’s democrtic process. What if Amadinejad have his own blog? Will it be like socialmarketingman, who is a staunch supporter of the truth not on lies? The whole testimony of Iranian Hegemony can be found on this link. So back to the question, what if Amadinejad has his own blog? Will it be a good one or a bad one? Will he still write about Israel’s wipe off the map rhetoric or will he write good things about the world? It’s a que sera, sera song. I don’t know much about the man, but he has balls to network on his organization. He knows how to deal with the present crisis and he knows what to say for a sales copy.

One of his staunchest supporters are the Grand Old Muftis from the past eras. Draconian rules like that of the middle ages is their specialty. Once again Amadinejad is like a music conductor in an Orchestra where he played the Rasputin music of all time. It seems the Iranian youths are disenchanted of a greater Iran, no human rights, no freedom, no happiness, no money, no jobs, and just a repeated old symphony of playing dark music.

The marketing ploy that makes  a lot of wonders is coming to end. Remember, it is web 2.0 time. If you are bad, then your days are numbered. What is good in social media is that today, communication is not only from top to bottom. It can now be cross from southwest to northeast and so on and so forth. Once you are a bad provider or even hiding skeletons on your closet. Web 2.0 will really tell this to people or to your costumers. You are really not safe if you are a bad seller, producer, politician, guru, and etc.

Amadinejad is now living in his own realm  that conforms to his wishes. It is best to be honest. If your election is tainted with scandals then your presidency is a question. If your business is anomalous, then your integrity is in danger. Sound like you are not a genuine man. Moreover, you are not helping the community.

I wanted to say something good on Amadinejad, anyway the good that he does to his country is he was able to teach the Iranians about WEB 2.0 or free personal web marketing. LOL.

The Smile that is a must for social media marketers.

The Basic Mistakes Among Internet Marketers

The Biggest Mistake in for internet marketer writers is to send a lot of articles on the web and thereby plugging their articles as a form of advertisement on these web sites. It could be, but sites that I don’t need to mention don’t want to be used as a marketing launch pad. Remember, they are their on the internet to give information to readers not the very thing to advertise. I also found out that people write articles or submit articles in a way that they tend to overdo it. They take the wrong posting category when they post to these sites. This led them to experience less traffic and low exposure rate.

You still have to research on what you write or say. It is really too bad that you just blurted any words or topics just to populate your blog site with articles. Just by being patient will meet its own rewards. You know, you have to be honest as to what level of thinking you belong and how to make it more productive on your side. Be sure to conduct good following by writing your own original content.

Best thing to do is to put a balance perspective in your articles. Too much of your own self centeredness will further erode your social equity. You must be give useful, organized, and positive write ups. Reminders, don’t bad mouth your competitors. Just be yourself. Honesty is the best policy. If you wanted to learn social media networking then you have to really practice the GOLDEN RULE. I don’t need to elaborate it.

The bottom line here is to make a credible story, situation, or scenario that you are not there for profit but for further learning just to enhance your social equity. I may say enhance your good morals and right conduct.
