Ask Margie

I have decided that it’s time I get a bit more personal with y’all.

No, no need to freak out. What I mean is that I thought it might be fun for you to toss some questions my way, and I’ll answer them via video. I have no idea yet just how often I’ll do this – I guess that in part depends on how many questions I get.

So, we’ll try this out. Leave me a question, I’ll leave you an answer. Sound good?

    Greetings Margie,

    My name is Samantha Peters and I want to know if you accept Guest Posts on margieclayman.com?

    One of my resolutions in 2012 is to write and contribute quality articles related to social media and marketing on a great site like yours.

    I do a lot of freelance writing and am capable of writing unique and relevant posts that I think you and your readers will find interesting.

    Is this something that you would be interested in?

    To give you an idea of my writing style and quality, I am including several links to recently published guest posts of mine. However, please know that any article I write will be unique and specifically written to fit within the context of your site. Also, any article I write will only be submitted and published on your site.

    Okay so I just noticed this. *ashamed* Can I ask a question? Oh, yes, that’s what your page says so well, umm, I’ll ask. 
     
    What/who would Margie Clayman be if not a social media marketing etc person?

    @hjluks Many outstanding people are not into social media…at all. They are too busy in their own area. Reviewing your list there does not seem to be many social media people over the age of 25-30.  SM really is a thin slice of America excluding 6–19 yr olds, despite pop culture

    @hjluks you sample may be very lmited for this list. Despite pop culture SM is a thin slice of America. You don’t seem to have any demographic over the age of 25-30 yrs. Many creative people are too busy and/or introverted to use SM. #hcsm

    Hi Margie, your observations and statements about video in marketing and advertising are very insightful.  Video in marketing and advertising is usually considered very expensive. I want to bring to your attention  a social video engagement platform by WeVideo. This new video editing platform is designed to give marketers a powerful new tool to energize audiences and turn consumers into advocates for their brands through consumer-generated videos such as highlight reels, short films, entertaining spots, testimonials and movie trailers. Please check it out at http://www.wevideo.com
    Here a nice examples: In support of the K-1 Rising 2012 Contest in Los Angeles on September 8th, K-1 fans entered an online contest by editing video clips of previous K-1 fights. The best videos submitted won ringside seats to the fight. K-1 promoted the event at http://www.k-1.tv. You can see fans’ edited K-1 Contest Videos at http://www.youtube.com/K1TEAM.
    Thank you for your time!

    Can you explain the benefits, in terms of traffic, that a self-hosted WordPress blog has over a blog on WordPress.com? I’ve also received recommendations telling me to stay on WordPress.com. I’m confused!

    • margieclayman on October 31, 2012 at 8:22 am

      @proposalista Since I kept you waiting I won’t keep you waiting more by finding the time to do a video – sorry for the delay!
       
      In my experience, the main advantage of self-hosting over blogging at wordpress.com is that people know you have invested some dollars into your blog which may make you seem a bit more committed/dedicated to it. There are also some disadvantages to WordPress.com like ads appearing at the bottom of your posts unless you buy a plugin to block them. You have more control over your self-hosted blog as well – more options for embedding content and things like that, which can help traffic.
       
      In the end though, I wouldn’t depend on the platform to determine your traffic. Some of the most successful blogs I’ve seen are at wordpress.com or blogspot.com, and other extremely successful ones are self-hosted. It really depends on what you are writing and whether you are building your audience – once you have an audience they’ll read you pretty much wherever you may go 🙂 
       
      I hope that helps!

    Hi Margie,
    I hope things are too hectic for you today. I am reaching out to because I thought you may be interested in the charities research database that FindTheBest just launched. It contains the information on nearly 1.7 million charities. Each charity’s page includes a variety of data including mission statement, contact info, legal structure, and their 990 form data when available.  Not only is this a great way to research individual charities, but the ability to compare multiple charities side by side is outstanding.
    Here is the link if you would like to take look http://non-profit-organizations.findthebest.com/
    Please let me know if you would like any more information or would be able to share it with your community.
    Sincerely,
    David

    Hi Margie, 

    I’ve heard a lot about you and Clayman Advertising from marketing sites so I decided to visit your blog. I was wondering what made you pursue your career path. I understand that you are the 3rd generation for Clayman Advertising, but what actually made you push to live up to those expectations?

    I can’t seem to find info on renaming one of my Twitter handles to another that I already own. Do I have to cancel the one I own and hope that I can get it back in 24 hours in order to rename the one I have (for better branding)?

    Thank you!
