BRAND THYSELF ONLINE (Part I V 1.5)

Consider looking at your online presence from an outsiders prospective. We meet for the first time and you hand me a card with your business and name. I go to the web and search for those things and the question is,”What comes up?” How many references and how far do those references go back.

BRAND THYSELF ONLINE

A quick to do list to start the brand of you from the (KMG) Kamatoy Media Group Team.

“WHAT’S IN A NAME?”

-Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

#1 Decide on a name that you can use across multiple sites.

Using a consistent name online is the first step in creating a consistent online presence. So that every post, tweet, message, press release has a common available via search.

If your name is taken and you have to use something creative just make it consistent. Most likely if you do the work to propagate the generic name will find relevance to the unique name.

GET YOUR NAME if you plan on being famous. Even if it’s available get it before someone else does. If you are an Actor you need to eventually check and see if your name is taken in SAG thus the concept of a screen name. While Hollywood PR people slept Internet geeks grabbed celebrities names first.

EXAMPLE
DavidKamatoy.com, Facebook.com/DavidKamatoy  Twitter.com/DavidKamatoy
NoMoreGeysers.com  Facebook.com/nomoregeysers twitter.com/nomoregeysers

#2 GET YOUR URL / Twitter / Facebook / etc.

Consider Aquiring

• YOUR DOMAIN
• TWITTER.COM/YOURNAME
• FACEBOOK.COM/YOURNAME
• LINKEDIN
• YOUTUBE /GMAIL/

BONUS

• WOOEB.COM 
• DAILYBOOTH (Its may seem young but then so did Myspace & Facebook.)
• DIGG
• STUMBLEUPON

TASKS:
1. Get a Domain at GoDaddy or another Registrar.
2. Get a twitter account that matches. Twitter limits names to 15 characters. Sometimes you have to be creative and remember you can always drop the URL into the bio section and constantly propagate the main URL via messages.

EXAMPLE: MarkChristopherLawrence.com but twitter account is twiiter.com/MarkChrLawrence

3. Slowly but surely customize your online presence. We suggest have a consistent message whos voice can change a bit based on the social media site. Linkedin is a very business/resume oriented site versus say facebook or the extreme of Dailybooth.

#3 Start a Blog connected to your project or name.

WHY? Because its content that you own and control. Remember myspace, facebook twitter is not owned by you and they can delete you at anytime.

We use both Typepad and Wordpress and can make a recommendation based on your situation.

#4 Jugglemail.com / Create and keep your own database.

Jugglemail 3.0 is not just an email marketing platform but a Customer Relationship Manager and Team manager as well.

Remember unless your a shareholder you do not own myspace,facebook or twitter. Therefore it makes sense that you secure, grow and market to your database via email. We believe that outside of the phone and in person. That email should be to closest form of communication. We do not propagate the [email protected] mentality because email should be a two way communication.

GET A FREE TRIAL and then well get someone to help you get set up.

#5 Web Based Press Releases

Consider doing press releases on the important things. Like new features, clients, projects via our Transworldnews connection so that it gets into the search engines. You might not think stuff is important but then again how important is it that Kate Gosselin gets a new haircut.

Kate Gosselin’s Displays Short Hair And Competitive Spirit

We at KMG can do press releases  via Wooeb/Transworldnews that get into the news search engines. (Contact us directly via email or call 619-573-9456)

If you've accomplished something. Securing a new client, getting a patent, having a grand opening. Get it into the search engines so that when that client looks you up there are references.

This is meant to be the starting point of your brand on the web. The next step is obviously content and then distributing that content. It’s a matter of time and money and how much you want to focus on this.

However the worst thing would be to ignore it. In 2005 we were pulling teeth trying to get small businesses to realize that everything was moving towards social media. Now you walk into major retail stores and there are signs that say FOLLOW US ON TWITTER.

There is still time to be slightly ahead of the curve but it takes a decision to move your brand to the web and find a unique voice.

ALL THE BEST,


DAVID KAMATOY & THE KAMATOY MEDIA GROUP TEAM

The Kamatoy Media Group is available to assist with any level of integration. We pride ourselves on scalability. So you can do it yourself or hire us to co-create and propagate your project.  Please contact us via DavidKamatoy.com , KamatoyMediaGroup.com & Jugglemail.com

We hope to expand this data either as a white paper or an expanded post.

Looking for Bright Spots For Small Business Owners

There seems to be some good news in the economy these days, but we are far from anything like a real recovery as of yet. And there are still dark clouds on the horizon that need to be handled before they hit. But first, a look at some of the bright spots and what they can mean to business owners.

via sbaloanstore.typepad.com

This is an optimistic post on CraigGFrancis.com. It still will take the creativity of the entrepreneur to use the opportunities available to them and realize that there is financing that is slowly but surely going out there. 

The challenge in general for the Entrepreneur is that the SBA is generally not for the start-up company. It's for companies or individuals with established cash flow, credit and equity. 

While the seed-capital entrepreneurs may dismiss the SBA it doesn't mean that at some point in the 3-5 years of development they strategize the use of an SBA Loan.

Or they figure out a partnership and/or structure that allows for some creativity

Anyone who has help fund a company knows that creativity is part of the game.

VISIT HULU.com/PLUS for more info

HULU PLUS ARRIVES by Steven j. Vaugn-Nichols had a good technical review of some of the initial bugs 

I was an early adaptor of HULU and actually got quite a bit of traffic for the first 6 months because I covered it on the blog. 

The challenge of TV on the net as Jeff Gaspin said "Pennies vs. Dollars" but it was clear that someone had to make the move and HULU was the chosen site to grab the initial traffic. 

It seems like this move is the one that moves in the direction of dollars vs. pennies. 

My only regrest is that were not in a position to advertise on Hulu when it was up and coming. Oh well. 

Let me know if you try Hulu PLus 1-week free trial

A Subtle Cold...SLOOOOWS ME DOOOOWN

I recently caught a subtle cold. I am thankful only because last season it was a violent allergy attack weeks later followed by a violent cold. The allergy attack was oddly worse than the cold because it was from a visit to Sacramento during Pollen Season. Wow!

This cold started with a sore throat that would not go away and I really thought it was a reaction to the bottle of generic Febreeze that I spilled in my office. Instead it did not go away and continued to bother me. I did not have a violent sneeze attack but it then moved to the sinus and the draining a bit into a small cough. 

The biggest issue was the fatigue and sore throat. For two days the congestion was in my throat so I could not really talk. It's subtle enough that it seems like I should be a lot more productive when in reality I am moving at about 50-60% and it takes quite a bit to get going. 

However I take it as a sign to slow down a bit no matter how stressed out I am because it goes back to that lesson from Tim Ferris what if you could only work 2 hours a day or four hours a week what would you do. 

Like many of us I feel I could do more than I am doing. However it makes me realize that delegating and creating systems has to come into play now that the phone is ringing.

So thus I am writing a bit again. Maybe I have something to say again... OK maybe. 

Don't burn the candle at both ends ALL THE TIME. It caught up with me this last week so now I rest.

A nice day in LA...

On PR assignment we went to spend time with Harry Waters Jr. for the http://WereGoingBack.com a 25th Anniversary event for Back To The Future. Little did we know that reaction to Earth Angel being re-enacted at the actual location for the Movie would be such a hit at the event. The fundraiser was a fundraiser for TeamFox.

It was a quick day in and out as most of our work days in LA are but on the way out Minneapolis was snowed in an Harry got stuck. Feeling under the weather myself the day ended up to be one of nicest days in Los Angeles Ive had in a long time. I think I never drove during heavy traffic times and stayed fairly close to Hollywood and the airport. 

We'll have pictures and video being posted soon it was a great event and Harry has decided to seek a few more appearance opportunities since seeing the success and reaction from this event. 

STAY TUNED...
