When you start setting up your online marketing plan it’s likely that you know the importance of being on the internet and how that exposure can make your business known all over the world. Whether you are working to market to another country or just in your own backyard, you should make sure that you do everything you can to make the best of your marketing plan.

Marketing online is about far more than just having a website or just signing up for social media accounts. Having these things is just the first step in making sure that you build your brand and attract new customer. Here are the three things you need to make sure you do after!

Be Consistent and Stay Up-To-Date

Being consistent is very important, because if you aren’t you may lose followers. This is mostly important when it comes to social media. Spend some time a couple days a week, minimum updating each of your social media accounts with new statuses and things that will engage your followers. Include photos and more. [Read more…]

By now, you have probably heard about the “real iPhone killer.” Technology giant Google has been dabbling in the mobile phone market in the recent years and the release of their Nexus One phone has got technophiles all over the world really excited. Yours truly is actually thinking of getting her hands on one within the month. In the past three days, all I have been doing is looking up information on the Nexus One.

Today, I started having second thoughts about getting a unit as early as now. Google released the phone just last week, and they have full control over the sales. Unlike before when they would sell phone through a mobile carrier, Google mainly distributes the Nexus One online: www.google.com/phone. While this means that anyone in the US can buy a unit without having to pay for a mobile phone service plan, it seems that the early birds are having problems regarding technical support.

The main issue, apparently, is that many users cannot use 3G on their Nexus Ones. Now this is a BIG problem as 3G is necessary to access the Internet and other related services at a reasonable speed. Users report that neither T-Mobile nor HTC (the phone’s manufacturer) has been able to help. That leaves Google, which does not seem to have the support infrastructure set up.

Another complaint is that the online purchasing set up is too impersonal. Some users have been looking for something more detailed, letting them know exactly what is going on with their order. This doesn’t bother me as much as the 3G issue, which just might “make” me wait for a few months more.
