SEO and Social Media Marketing
Creating buzz is a critical goal for anyone in the creative arts. Photographers, writers, and videographers can use these new Internet media to promote their own personal brands, as well as to assist the media they work for to garner fantastic publicity on the Internet. To do so, almost nothing compares to the power of the Internet. Established companies leverage Google, Twitter, Facebook, and other online media to deepen customer relationships, while small businesses like law firms and nonprofits use SEO (search engine optimization) to get to the top of critical Google, Yelp, and Google+ local searches. Today’s Internet world is a free-for-all of Google, Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Google+, Yelp, and other social media sites too numerous to list.
This workshop series will help startups, small businesses, and established photographers, writers, and videographers understand the opportunities presented by Google SEO and social media marketing as no-cost marketing vehicles. Among the sessions, for example, is a special session on image and photo optimization, described as:
Pictures are worth 1000 words; Videos are worth 10,000. This session will overview the basics of image creation, for Google & Bing. We’ll cover how to optimize images, including infographics and instructographics, including how to make them “enticing” to the audience shares on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media. Second, we’ll deep dive into YouTube and understand how to optimize videos, and understand what goes viral and why. You’ll leave with an understanding of how to optimize your images for search and share, and ditto for videos on YouTube. Source: http://www.professionaloutdoormedia.org/2015-sessions#google_seo.
