Branding & Marketing

Posted by Chris Brown on September 18th, 2008 in Blogging, Marketing, Marketing Blogs

Here are two new technologies that I just learned about this morning thanks to comments from readers to this week’s posts and three “old” technologies that I’m reminded about from an email. All 5 of these tools can help you market your products, services and brand:

Pheedo RSS Advertising using Pheedo.  I always thought of RSS as just subscription, not advertising so it’s new to me!!  Thanks, Melanie! Respectful Workplace .

About: Pheedo creates new kinds of profit driven advertising services through distributed content, like RSS, for our publishers and advertisers. Our pioneering efforts have resulted in triple digit revenue growth for leading publishers and have connected millions of content hungry readers to top tier advertisers.

Twitpic  This is my new Twitter picture sharing account — Which gives me a place to post photos like Flickr, but somehow is woven in with Twitter. Thanks Mark at Neutron Interactive

What is TwitPic? TwitPic lets you share photos on Twitter

You can post pictures to TwitPic from your phone, our API, or through the site itself.  There are also popular twitter clients that have built-in support for TwitPic.

I’m still learning about TwitPic and Pheedo, so for those folks who aren’t ready for those technologies I offer something that isn’t really a new technology, but actually a three-some: Email, Blogs & SEO. I wanted to mention it because of an email I got from an author (Content Rich: Writing Your Way to Wealth on the Web) last night reminded me the power of writing a blog on the internet to help an author with getting SEO about his new book:

Again, it would be great to have you take a look at the book and blog about it. In return, I would love to help you out in any way I can with reviews of your products or services on my blog, http://contentrichbook.com/blog/.

So Jon Wuebben at Custom Copywriting, here’s your blog post about your book. You’r walking the talk — send an email, ask for a blog post, offer a favor in return to help. Isn’t social internet marketing the greatest? (er, Jon, I’ll have to get back to you about how you can help me, later…)

So, tell me, which of these 5 tools will you use today to improve your marketing?
