Cool video but MUTE it before you play it (horrible music) and don't be doing three things at once since great stats fly by fast.

When Content Marketing Becomes Visual Marketing via Forbes [Infographic]

When Content Marketing Becomes Visual Marketing via Forbes [Infographic] | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
I have to admit that when I first read the results of a survey of marketers done by PR firm Matter Communications, I was tempted to write this article in a very satirical voice - even more satirical then I normally do. Essentially the survey revealed that when it comes [...]

Seize The High Ground: Marketing Success with Google+ [Infographic]

Seize The High Ground: Marketing Success with Google+ [Infographic] | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

Google+, the world’s second biggest social network, is changing the online landscape.

The Google+ Guide from Vocus provides everything you need to know in a step-by-step format, from setting up your page to engaging better and measuring success.


Via Lauren Moss, Antonios Bouris
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Google plus remains the most disruptive social network. I do a lot of SOWT (Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses, Threats) analysis. One thing comes up over and over. Many competitors are killing each other on Facebook and or Twitter, but few seize the high ground that is Google plus.

Slideshare The Visual Marketing SEO RPG - NEW @Scoopit BLOW IT UP Study

Slideshare The Visual Marketing SEO RPG - NEW @Scoopit BLOW IT UP Study | BI Revolution | Scoop.it

Scoop.it Study
I've often thought Slideshare was the great underutilized weapon of content marketing. Thinking that and having the data to prove are two different things.

Thanks to the team at Scoop.it we now have the data to prove what I've FELT. In an extensive study the Scoop.it team shifted my thinking on Slideshare.

Always knew Slideshare was POWERFUL SEO VooDoo because I've had several decks BLOW UP such as:

http://www.slideshare.net/martinmartysmith/storytelling-new-seo 
Absolute #1 position on "Storytelling is the new SEO" and has been top ranked for over a year.

http://www.slideshare.net/martinsellingzoe/content-marketing-network 
This deck held on for a year and has slide out of ranking now.

You don't get much more SEO competitive than "Storytelling is the New SEO" and "Content Marketing Network so personal validation supports the Scoop.it team's great work here.

The other paradigm they shifted for me today was thinking of Slideshare as an important "visual marketing" tool. Decks are LEAN, FAST and VIRAL so great ways to share and build authority and traffic. Just wish I could get my Slideshare profile styled better. Anyone know the secret sauce for that?

Great work Scoopiteers!

Kickstarter Crowdfunding Stats: Great for Music, Film, Video and Tech

Kickstarter Crowdfunding Stats: Great for Music, Film, Video and Tech | BI Revolution | Scoop.it
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Kickstarter Stats
Kickstarter provides amazing if a little veiled stats. I pulled out key metrics such as success vs. not and found the crowdfunding platform is great for Tech, Film, Video and Music.

Fashion has the lowest success rate (only 28% when the average is 41%). 


Dance had the highest success rate (71%), but the lowest ask of around $300.

Tech had an average success rate, but the biggest money to the bank with an average ask of $72,964 just ahead of games coming in with an average take to the bank of $70K. 

 Most funded projects raised LESS than $10K and Kickstarters overall strike rate is around 40% so about 4 in 10 projects make money.
