7. Repurpose/Reuse Content Images/video, there are multiple types of video social media channels where video can be posted/embedded, likewise with images. Look to reuse this graphic content in multiple areas. Depending on channels repurposed to, adjust the tone of voice of the text to suit. Anchor tags/link references variance (avoid duplicate content)

8. Include the Social Salesperson We are seeing the rise of the 'social salesperson', that can enrich the marketing department's SMI efforts weaving SEO techniques into their day-to-day work. Content marketing is fundamental to the success of any organisation that wants to generate business online. Your savvy sales individuals will have unique perspectives on the market, products features/benefits, and how to solve problems. They will be able to identify common customer questions, reservations, and effective selling points. They are ideally placed to help with the creation of content that aligns with every stage of the sales funnel. Content should be monitored of course and vetted before representing the brand (have a brand guideline or ‘style guide’ is a good start). The sheer volume, and quality of content will be beneficial for the business. Savvy sales reps can support the business by sharing information via social communities. Retweet company announcements, promoting content, engaging with their community. As the sales rep's social presence grows, so should the brand's, bringing in new followers and widening your social reach.

9. The Social Salesperson… Ask them to engage with customers, prospects and industry peers on blogs, and groups (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+) this will help to build relevant links back into your site. Encourage them to attend local meet-up groups or networking events, where they can 'check-in', 'tweet' and post updates. Many sites, associations and groups allow the users to post profiles, and links... and contribute to solid link authority references back to your site. Salespeople tend to have larger than normal networks, which can be tapped into and used for SEO, including LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ Colleagues in complementary organisations on LinkedIn, who can be used for guest blog posts, co-marketing sponsorships, interviews and other opportunities. Keeping up-to-date and informed on the competition, your sales team are well suited for this role. Successful SMI requires the full integration of your whole organisation.

14. Optimisation for SMI Three areas marketers can optimise for a more strategic and holistic approach to successful internet marketing: 1.Optimise for Discovery – How does your target audience prefer to find information? Search, Social, Email, Advertising, Word of Mouth. What devices do they use? When are they most likely to search, socialise or purchase? 2.Optimise for Consumption – What content formats and media types does your community prefer? Do they like long or short form? Text, images, audio or video? 3.Optimise for Engagement – What messages, topics and contexts motivate your community to interact, share and convert?

15. Social Learning Apply shared learning's from each channel Cross pollination between each channel (share and point between) Focus on the strengths on each channel (demographic understanding, delivery time) Explain where you are (which channels)! Do this by… social share/follow on site/EDM/email stationery/off-line opportunities (POS etc.). So much effort taken to drive traffic to a business, why not get them to stick (particularly during their research phase) Opportunities to reinforce (confirmation pages, automated emails) Provide access to immediate information (Twitter, Facebook, Community?)

16. Google URL Shortener To assist your marketing campaign reporting and tracking of the efforts of links you post and measure the effectiveness of your activities, consider using a consistent URL shortener such as Google’s goo.gl

17. Google Campaign Tracking Google Analytics Campaign Link Tagging Tool is also very useful to create tagged URLs with campaign and source information that you can then shorten. The results are then measured within Google Analytics to show the effectiveness of different mediums.
