Social Media and Marketing
… plays a very very important role in today’s world.
I have been using facebook since a long time and out of curiosity i had also created fan pages for my sites. But i never paid much attention to it, till a few weeks ago when i came across so many articles and posts related to facebook pages. So i decided to start fresh and use the facebook fan page to market the site. Infact i went ahead, created ads also with daily budget of xx$ ( they have the option of paying in INR also), but i was so eager to get it going, i just went ahead with the USD currency. So far the page is doing good.. every monday i get an update on my cell and my email, about the dollars being spent for the week. Well most of the ad spend is recovered through the contest entry fees and i am happy with the reach of this social media.
When it comes to marketing, i think the best(not sure.. maybe the most popular) online marketing medium is Google Adwords. So one night while checking out my web statistics and with a few adwords coupon code in hand, i planned to run a few ad campaigns on Google too. Was browsing the web for Google Adwords guide and landed on this famous ebook of Perry Marshall and without thinking twice, i went ahead and purchased the ebook. So far i have not yet opened the ebook to read the contents 
.. i am an impulsive buyer. I did read a few pages of other ebooks he gives with this purchase and was reading about the BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONTENT WRITERS and COPYWRITERS.
To update about my Shaadi.com reward points, yes i did get my cheque from them, 2 weeks after the courier was sent to me, in the 3rd week of May. When i enquired, why the courier was taking so long to reach me, i was told that the area where i reside is beyond their limits… i was wondering.. which courier service they are using as i stay very near to this famous german bakery(it became more famous after the recent bomb blast) in pune.
On the personal front, well i have been just busy putting on more weight… so the official work and blogging has taken a back-seat.
