Social Media Marketing might not be for everyone

I’m always telling our clients and potential clients that Social Media Networking is a MUST and that every business should be partaking. One of my clients, my brother in fact, asked me what we (SortedSites.com) are doing as a company, to market our business on the Social Web. The truth is although we had a Linkedin, Flickr,… Continue

Seth Godin in London – A TRIBES session

On the 17th February 2009 I will be flying to London from Tenerife (Spain) to listen to the Marketing Supremo Seth Godin. Seth will be talking about his latest book TRIBES, building and nurturing communities (Tribes).

Listening to Seth read out his book on my ipod it becomes clear how important it is to lead and engage in the community.

We all have a basic need to connect with other human beings. Making friends, connecting with others, sharing
experiences, keeping up with popular culture… Continue

Finally joined Twitter

I'm JohnBeckley on twitter if you want to follow me. I am interested in Internet Marketing, specifcally using social meda web sites.

John Beckley is the Director of SortedSites.com

I'm the creator of a design and marketing company called Sorted Sites based in Tenerife, Spain. I'm passionately committed to a vision of "using social media for business" that is emerging from the use of Social Media Networking websites.

I believe that it is extremely important for business leaders to have experience themselves using this media in order to understand how personal social networking will transform their business.

It’s about New Rules Marketing and an organizations ability to evolve. Allow your business to contribute to the conversation and empower employees to be a part of this process. Use the Social Web to communicate with your clients not at them.

A world wide economic slowdown will force business to look at new and more cost effective ways to market themselves. Social Media Marketing by comparison to other media is largely inexpensive, there is however a price in getting involved …….time and energy!!

Your traditional marketing department needs to embrace the opportunities inherent in social websites and make the transition.

Hi Brian, there are several Timeshare Rental Companies you can use. I would suggest you use a selection of these but make sure they aren't taking an upfront fee, also try using local rental companies. Search Google for your Timeshare Resort Name an…

With your interest in online content I recommend you take look at Wiziq's virtual classroom that has a content manager and authorstream's web based power point presentation platform. Both Wiziq and authorstream are excellent platforms for web based power points and Wiziq has a virtual classroom embed that makes it much easier for people to view their work online.
