You're optimizing all of your blog posts for SEO - check.You're probably doing all of the above, but you're still not ranking in Google - why?That is exactly the situation I was in until I embarked on doing some research. And from that research, I have come to some conclusions.The final frontier of SEO and ranking in search engines is in generating backlinks.

As you publish more blog posts and content throughout social media on a wide variety of subjects that are relevant to your business, how do you know which content is performing better or worse? How can you take that engagement data and feed it back into your publishing infrastructure to create more or less content about what types of content that are relevant to your company, and in doing so generating higher and higher ROI for whatever metric you are tracking? In this episode I introduce a quarterly content audit which I just started doing which gives you specific instructions of how to do this with your own content using my own blog as a case study. You'll learn about the concept of content buckets that I introduced back in 2013 in my Maximize Your Social book and how to apply that in PDCA style with a data-driven approach which allows you to further optimize your marketing with every (quarterly) iteration!Episodes mentioned in the show:137: How To Optimize Your Blog Posts For Higher Search Rankings And Stay Ahead Of The CompetitionReference Links for Neal Schaffer:My Website: https://nealschaffer.com/Learn more about this podcast: https://nealschaffer.com/maximize-your-social-influence-podcast/The Age of Influence Free Preview: https://nealschaffer.com/age-of-influence-preview

The digital first mindset that your business needs to survive today is only part of the story.

I have been blogging since 2008, and to be honest with you I really didn't think strategically about blogging since fairly recently when I started talking about the freshness of content on episode 129 almost two years ago. Since then I have come to realize the mistakes of my own blog as well as those that I have helped in a variety of capacities over the years. Since Google is the biggest digital influencer of them all, I wanted to share with you the 11 blogging mistakes that I see businesses make yet very few podcasters or people in the blogosphere talk about. I hope after listening to this episode you will have a much more strategic look at blogging and how impactful it can be for your business.For those of you interested in my fractional / outsourced CMO service, please contact me here: https://nealschaffer.com/contact/Episodes mentioned in the show:160: SEO and Social: Honing the Skills Needed for a Modern Marketer [Cyrus Shepard Interview]137: How To Optimize Your Blog Posts For Higher Search Rankings And Stay Ahead Of The Competition129: How Fresh is Your Content?Links mentioned in the show:SEMrush: https://nealschaffer.com/semrush [affiliate link]The Blogging Millionaire on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-blogging-millionaire/id1072931592Ahrefs study on blog traffic: https://ahrefs.com/blog/search-traffic-study/The 10 Best Social Media Marketing Podcasts to Listen to in 2020: https://nealschaffer.com/best-social-media-marketing-podcasts/Yoast SEO Plugin: https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/Reference Links for Neal Schaffer:My Website: https://nealschaffer.com/Learn more about this podcast: https://nealschaffer.com/maximize-your-social-influence-podcast/The Age of Influence Free Preview: https://nealschaffer.com/age-of-influence-preview

I got really serious about podcasting in 2020 142 episodes after I began this podcast. I got even more serious with the publication of The Age of Influence, utilizing this podcast to build a community that listens to podcasts. Utilizing podcasting as a form of influencer marketing to help incite word-of-mouth marketing about my book has taken my understanding of the significance that podcasting can have for any business or entrepreneur to a completely different level.By teaching you what I have experienced and learned, I believe you will not look at podcasting the same just as The Age of Influence and this podcast have hopefully helped you look at influencers and influencer marketing in a completely different way.Episodes Mentioned in the Show:166: The Many Ways to Become an Influencer Today [John Lee Dumas Interview]13: Got Good Social Media Marketing Apps?

Description: What sets successful businesses and professionals apart? One might argue it is all about being able to innovate. Fortunately for our podcast listeners we have a very special guest, Carla Johnson, who has written a few compelling marketing books and will soon release her newest book, RE:Think Innovation. This podcast will be a sneak preview of that book, in which you will learn why:1. People think innovation is only about the products and services they sell, and why they're wrong and missing a huge growth opportunity. 2. There are things that iconic companies with big budgets do that you can learn from and apply right away for your business...if you know how.3. You too can learn how to innovate through a simple, repeatable, scalable formula for how to take inspiration from any brand, experience or situation you have, and turn it into extraordinary outcomes for their business - startups, established Fortune 100 brands, and any organization in between.

Social networks come (TikTok) and go (Google Plus), and some merely borrow the best features of other social networks to continue innovating (Instagram). The one thing about social media that has NOT changed since I began my career in social media marketing is that LinkedIn continues to be the best place for professional networking and B2B social media marketing.Every year or two "newbie" marketers wake up to the potential that LinkedIn has for your marketing, but since I wrote two books on the subject in 2009 and 2011, I would argue that the potential has always been there. Similar to influencer marketing, marketers have tended to dismiss LinkedIn when they talk about social media marketing options. As part of my role as an educator, I have been creating a free ebook for sometime with best practices for using LinkedIn, and I'm psyched to announce that my newest version is now available for download.

According to my brand affinity model for influencer marketing, your employees are those that naturally have the most brand affinity for your company because they are an organic part of it. How, though, do you activate your employees as influencers? How does this relate to the concept of employee advocacy? How would this work in regulated industries? And are there any analogies to leveraging employees as influencers that you see in influencer marketing today?Today's episode covers all of these questions and is a summary for a recent webinar I did for the leading employee advocacy platform PostBeyond entitled "Employee Advocacy is out, Employee Influencer is in."Links mentioned in the show:Exploring the impacts of employee advocacy on job satisfaction and organizational commitment: Case of Taiwanese airlines: http://www.isihome.ir/freearticle/ISIHome.ir-21028.pdfFTC calls out Sony -- and Deutsch L.A. -- for deceptive advertising: https://adage.com/article/news/ftc-sony-deutsch-la-deceived-consumers/296004The Age of Influence: https://nealschaffer.com/ageofinfluenceEpisodes mentioned in or related to this one:165: Influencer Marketing During COVID-19: Still Worth the Investment?123: Enterprise-Wide Employee Advocacy is a Natural Outcome of Social Business [Sociabble Interview]121: Everything You Wanted to Know about Employee Advocacy [PostBeyond Interview]115: How Cathay Pacific Built a Global Employee Advocacy Program107: Creating Employee Advocates with GaggleAMP94: Employee Advocacy, Social Selling, and The Missing Alignment Between Sales and Marketing82: How to Take Your Employee Advocacy to the Next Level: An Interview with GaggleAMP69: The Definitive Guide to Employee AdvocacyReference Links for Neal SchafferMy Website: https://nealschaffer.com/Learn more about this podcast: https://nealschaffer.com/maximize-your-social-influence-podcast/The Age of Influence Free Preview: https://nealschaffer.com/age-of-influence-preview

How do you know what impact everything that you do in digital and social media marketing has on your business? The secret comes down to what I call the PDCA approach to marketing that my agency is named for, but more importantly, it comes down to visualizing your marketing funnel and aligning everything you do with a part of that funnel.

You might be wondering what impact COVID-19 might be having on influencer marketing. After all, you can't fly freely around the world to take pictures of product in exotic locations. But, as you know, travel influencers only represent a small portion of the influencer marketing pie. Here is my advice for businesses trying to navigate the current uncertainty to figure out what role, if any, influencer marketing should have in your marketing strategy. Once again, today's episode, like Episode 161 before it, is based off of a webinar I provided for the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland about marketing in the age of coronavirus.Links mentioned in the show:Freshbooks #IMakeaLiving Micro-Conference: https://nealschaffer.com/freshbooksJon Rettinger's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR0AnNR7sViH3TWMJl5jyxwAge of Influence Free Preview: https://nealschaffer.com/age-of-influence-previewEpisodes mentioned in or related to this one:161: The Hidden Power of Email Marketing to Scale Your Digital Influence (the other content from the similar webinar I presented on)156: How to Pivot Your Marketing During the Coronavirus Pandemic155: Why Your Business Needs to be More Human Than Ever During the Coronavirus Pandemic [Mark Schaefer Interview]154: COVID-19: What Your Business Needs to Do to Survive During the Coronavirus Pandemic

One of the goals of influencer marketing is to incite the word of mouth marketing that organic social alone can't, but there are times that we will still pay to play and employ Paid Social as part of our marketing. How might we be able to use Paid Social as part of our influencer outreach? This is a case study from my own influencer marketing program for the launch of my new book, The Age of Influence, and how I am leveraging one of the unique and most cost-effective forms of Paid Social that many don't know exist or haven't utilized properly: LinkedIn Message Ads.Links mentioned in the show:My Marketing Book Giveaway: https://nealschaffer.com/marketing-books-giveaway/The Age of Influence Free Preview: https://nealschaffer.com/age-of-influence-preview/The Age of Influence on Amazon: https://nealschaffer.com/ageofinfluenceEpisodes mentioned in the show:157: Influencer Marketing before the Internet: A Personal Case Study to Help Guide You Towards Success Today147: LinkedIn Ads: A Comprehensive Look (AJ Wilcox Interview)
