Social Media Experiment – Pet Portraits – Portrait of Zoe
Zoe is a domestic cat that radiates both poise and beauty. I personally took this photo using my iPhone and special film noir lens about a year or 2 ago. I was interested in how Zoe commanded a room, no matter where she sat or was located within that space. From the image it may seem as if she’s imposing or scary, but in reality she is soft, sweet, and yes like a typical cat can be quite aloof at times. I’m proud to say that I have been blessed to share many moments with Zoe and love her wholeheartedly.
- Social Media Marketing and Social Networking can not only dramatically increase the viability of the bottom line to a small business, but also the visibility as well. The potential to reach an enormous customer base and increase the overall ROI of an Internet Marketing budget is there. You just need to think a bit outside the box.

Social Media Experiment: Pet Portraits by Andrew David Baron
Many of you know me as an Internet Marketer with an emphasis on Social Media Consulting. I am all about niche marketing and pinpoint analytics for local businesses and people. But, what you may not know is that, I am a classically trained and a highly skilled draftsman, painter, print-maker, etc. I earned my BFA in Studio Arts and have a huge affinity for Art History.
I started a side project as a way to demonstrate how an effective Organic Social Media campaign could really take root and become something from nothing. With the economy the way it is, I know businesses are hurting. I know it’s not easy out there. This entire campaign will illustrate the power and incredible potential of Social Media. This literally started with absolutely nothing, except raw talent and imagination. I have not spent a penny on any PPC advertising or SEM marketing. Whatever profits I receive from the this art odyssey will solely be the result of my Social Media and Social Networking efforts.

August 2010 Linkedin Poll: Which Social Media site is the most effective tool with the highest ROI for your Business?
For August 2010, I thought it was appropriate to create this Linkedin Poll. There are many, many different Social Media sites out there that can be considered effective for their business model. Twitter seems to be more effective for B2B rather than B2C. Linkedin, which is hosting this poll, is an amazing Social Network for B2B, but not really B2C. Facebook, it seems as if it currently is the king of connection for B2C.
Don’t get me wrong, B2B is just as important as B2C, ultimately most businesses are looking to reach new audiences of consumers. Yes, businesses are consumers as well, but on a completely different level. It could be that Twitter is the way to go to effectively communicate to your customers, but I personally highly doubt that Twitter alone will help a business turn a profit. The key strategy is to know the perfect balance of (SMM) Social Media Marketing, (SNM) Social Network Marketing, and (SEO) Search Engine Optimization.
Once you have a great Website and Marketing campaign plan setup, then you can properly gauge how effective any Social Media will be for your business.
