Photo: ictkm

Social media seem to gobble up many people’s time what with activities like changing status and keeping track of other people’s stats. You invariably end up spending a lot of time glaring at a bright screen at the cost of many other activities like hanging around with friends, visiting a relative in hospital or doing grocery.

What if you could schedule your tweets  and leave a software to the job for you?  Doesn’t it make eminent sense to leave a good amount of time for something else other than sit glued to your hand-helds or PCs?  You can do it but even so, something like chatting has to be done manually and in real-time, be assured of that.The best apps that make this possible are Hootsuite, Buffer and Tweetdeck though there are many others too.

Hootsuite

This is in many ways superior to the other two apps under discussion here. That perhaps explains the fact that it is more popular as well. In fact, this app is more popular than many pop stars! In addition to great interface, Hootsuite has a very good analytics. You will have to pay for it, though. You can also use it in many accounts in various social media websites.  

Hootsuite has an interface that enables you to track your social media activity. You can also analyze data for free but on a limited scale. So, go for the paid facility. Link shortening is done by owl.ly. This can be used by multiple partners. Your accounts in Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Foursquare and LinkedIn can also be brought into its ambit.  Hootsuite can auto-schedule a post by using its algorithms which indicate the best time to post an entry.

Buffer

If you want to share something interesting with your contacts, you can “add it” in your Buffer.  You will be able to schedule your posts at a specific time. What is more, you can adjust individual posts to individual times.  All you have to do is to choose the relevant content and pertinent social media account. Now, you simply have to choose the time at which you want the content to be shared. You can either post it instantly or buffer it for later. Chrome extension/app is a very efficient application to use. You can add any page to it.  For RSS Feed, you can use another Chrome extension, Feed.ly. You can use it as an option within posts.

Features like Link Shortening, Analytics and Scheduling options are useful in scheduling posts.  You can use this for Twitter as well as Facebook.

Tweetdeck

Tweetdeck has many functions but let us concentrate on its utility in scheduling your tweets. Unlike Buffer or Hootsuite, this app needs manual indulgence. This need not put you off. Look at the bright side. You can be doubly sure if you carry out tasks manually rather than when you leave it to tools to do the job. The features are as below:

Shortening of URL via bit.ly. Timeline, lists, chats, searches and interactions can all be accomplished in Great Interface. You can schedule as above now.  This can only be used in twitter.

Internet is a tool with endless opportunities. Pursuing an online venture is more practical than ever before. In fact, there are thousands of companies trying to market their product online. However, creating and maintaining a business presence online is a big challenge for any business owner.

In order to get started with internet marketing, you need to create solid content. While creating content, you must also focus on SEO. Your content must be interesting to the readers and you must identify your targeted audience in order to do that. Here are easy tips that lead you on the right path of internet marketing.

Know your market

Your marketing strategy will never work unless you have a clearly defined audience. Before you invest on marketing, it is important to identify your target market. For example, who currently buys your product? Men or Women? What is their age group? What are their interests?

Once you are through with the demographics of your customer, identifying the means to reach them is much easier. This may take some time, and you should wait for that. If you blindly jump into internet marketing without having a clear customer profile, you will be wasting your time and money in places that will never reach your customer. Just because Facebook is growing rapidly, doesn’t mean your customers are the one making it to grow.

Figure out where to get your potential buyers

You need to figure out where to look for your potential customers. For example, if your campaign is for your current customers then you can do so through your business website, social media network or newsletter. If your goal is to reach new potential buyers, you will have to know exactly where to get them. Teenagers may be spotted on Facebook and Twitter, while news-savvy liberals are most likely contacted through Huffington Post ads.

Check website directory listings

Check whether your business website is indexed by major search engines like Google, yahoo, and DMOZ. This will ensure that potential customers will be able to visit your marketing pages.

Generating traffic

You need to implement techniques to drive people to your marketing site. Tools like Google Adsense, Overture, Look smart and others can help you achieve this. You should check out your competitors and find out the techniques they have used to generate traffic to their site and use the same on your site.

Consider your previous campaigns and how they turned out

What were your mistakes? Which campaigns were successful and why? Learning from the past is an awesome way to implement effective strategies and avoid the same mistakes in your new campaign.

Set and reset your goals

Figure out what you are trying to achieve from online marketing. To gain the popularity, Increased revenue? If you have multiple goals, keep track of them so you will be able to measure your success. When your initial goals are met, reset your goals so your company can continue to improve.

Is Your Smartphone Safe Enough?

Smartphones are intensely powerful these days, and they are really only getting more powerful. Every year and a half or so computing power doubles, and this affects smartphones as well. The problem behind all this power is that it’s a two way street. Increased power means increased risk, often enough. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to make sure your phone and all of the data on it is safe enough.

Viruses for Smartphones?

One of the initial advantages to smartphones was that there really weren’t any viruses for it. After all, the technology was brand new. Older computers like traditional PCs had viruses that could still affect them today, even if they were created decades ago because a lot of the basic technology was the same. But with smartphones, the technology is quite new. And when they were first created a few years ago no one had really come up with viruses that could affect them. It looks like viruses are actually making their way onto smartphones now.

How Your Smartphone Can Be Infected

When you’re downloading all of your information to your smartphone directly from an approved app store, it’s easy to feel like you have nothing to worry about for viruses. But this is definitely not the case. For one thing, some app stores are less secure than others. It’s true that the Apple store tends to be safer since it’s completely closed off and only completely approved apps make it on their. But Google Play, the app store for Android phones is much more open. Google does its best to make sure that no one puts any viruses in their store, but when you have an open system this is going to inevitably happen now and again. Additionally, if you hook up your phone to your computer, viruses can download from one to the other, and many modern viruses are designed to jump the divide between PC and mobile phone. However, if you open any attachments on your phone, viruses can transfer this way, and Bluetooth is another vector by which viruses can transfer.

Theft

Another big problem these days is data theft. If you leave your phone out in the open and someone steals it, they can get all of your personal information. Even if you put a password protection on the phone, it’s not hard to guess just about any password given enough time, and there are also plenty of other ways to bypass such protection. Unless if you don’t leave your phone and have it stolen, people can often sill access your information since it’s on the network. For example, if you have personal information like your bank cards, social security number, phone number, address, and so on backed up on the cloud, then you should know that these are less secure than you might think. Every day, hackers are able to gain access to people’s private information through weak points like Dropbox, Skydrive, and other backup services. If they gain any of your private information they can use it against you by gaining access to your credit cards and spending a lot of money that you’ll be responsible for.

Back in the good old days, cellphones just called people and that was it. Classic cellphones didn’t have Internet capability at all, so there was never any risk of having your information stolen or compromised. But this is no longer the case, and modern people need to worry more about phone security. Fortunately, there are plenty of companies out there that can help you be more secure.

Steps you have to follow to make online money by Google Trends

Google trends, for most of us, is a great online platform provided by Google to track what’s hot and what people are talking about all over the world. The search results are based on the stats received from a particular region, and the user can easily use the tool to check the most searched topics in any region. It’s easy to make cash with Google if you know how to use Google to perform search. It doesn’t require any investment and all you need is a little time. Though many people are aware of this tool, only a few actually know how to harness the power of this awesome tool to generate some extra cash, in a very short time that can help them in the long run. So, what exactly are the steps you need to follow to make money with this platform? Well, this is what this article is all about.

1. Search

First of all, you simply need to go to Google Trend and find the hottest topics or simply view the search box below that displays “Today’s Hot Trends”. That’s a list of hot things people are talking about or searching for. According to Google labs, the information provided by trends is based on searches done in the past hour. From the list of hot topics, pick something you are interested in. If you are an expert on writing tech topics then pick something like “Apple iPhone 5S launch in October”. Avoid choosing topics that you are not skilled at writing though they appear on the top of the list. Most of the times, you may feel that all the topics are out of scope. In such a case, don’t get demotivated. Pick a topic which sounds interesting and do some research on the same. How to do the research work? Come on Google it! Carefully study a few articles on the topic, and then try to integrate them into a fresh material. Do not try to steal other’s work as it will not only spoil your reputation, but it is also considered to be an illegal practice.

2. Monetize your blog with Google Adsense

Set up a blog with WordPress or blogger. If you aren’t comfortable with the WordPress environment then you can go with blogger as Google has made sure that no programming skills are required here. It presents you with easy menus and simple options under it for better understanding. Pick a theme that matches your blog from the various choices provided by Google. Once, you are ready with the basic layout of your site, start publishing the article which you composed on a trending topic recently. Make sure that the fonts used can easily be read by an average user. If you can use images to support your facts, then that would certainly be an added advantage. Make sure that the images are free of copyrights.
If you sign up for Google Adsense, you can have small ads appear on particular pages. Whenever a visitor clicks on these ads Google will pay you some cash.

3. Spread a word about your site

Since the topics in trend keep changing daily, you need to spread the word about your blog in popular social networks like Twitter feeds, Facebook, MySpace and others.

4. Get traffic

Submit your posts to authorized directories like Ezinearticles, Articlebase, etc. These directories will help you get more traffic in less time.
