Come The Revolution Power & Influence Spreads To "Citizen Influencers" via @Bill_McCann

Come The Revolution Power & Influence Spreads To "Citizen Influencers" via @Bill_McCann | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Find and engage digital influencers. You may be used to turning to the traditional press but there are more cost-effective methods today.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Trust & Citizen Influencers
This is a great post that reminds me of a book I read ten years ago called Citizen Marketer. Trust is upside down. We trust those perceived to have the LEAST to gain. We trust our friends.

This trend is one of the driving pistons of our Triangle Startup Factory funded startup called Curagami. We see the conversation as the new link. Conversations, unlike links, need to be tuned to PEOPLE and ENGAGEMENT more than a search robot.

Conversations matter, but so do our trusted guides. No one can know everything, so we depend on delegating knowledge to friends. My friend and Curagami co-founder Phil Buckley is my SEO source. Mark Traphagen, another friend and well known G+ evangelist, is my G+ source.

By ELIMINATING things we must know other than at a macro level we create a winning strategy that stays just ahead....at least when everything goes well (lol).

The subtext of this excellent share from Bill McCann (@Bill_McCann) echoes the importance of community, brand advocates and extending your network daily.

Social Media Conversations Are HERE - You In? via @Curagami

Social Media Conversations Are HERE - You In? via @Curagami | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it
Downloading the Vocus paper Monitoring The Social Media Conversation: From Facebook to Twitter via CIO Whie Papers is a pain. The paper helps explain what Curagami is all about. The paper has a PR slant, but its an important read for any and all Internet marketers: The prevalence of social media has not just grown …
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Many have asked what Curagami DOES? This post builds on an excellent Vocus post about monitoring the social media conversation to share how Curagami creates a tiny advantage that creates scale that creates a tiny advantage and so on to infinity :).
