As you know, social images are popping up EVERYWHERE and you can step up your game, by reading Alessandro Zamboni's product, Secret Social Images.
To many, that statement must sound or read like an advertisement. Truth is, that I am always looking for ways to improve my odds. I have no doubt that you do as well. So, when I stumbled upon Secret Social Images...well, there was cause for me to sit up and take notice.
I mean, really, how often does a product come along with a free online resource to better promote your affiliate offers, your website, articles, and/or Web 2.0 promotions?
Through images, videos, and the like, we have an increased opportunity to reach our own fair market share of the marketing pie and have a real chance of making a living online. This is huge!
Any time that you can do anything to improve user interaction the better, thereby improving your rankings and increasing your chance of conversions.
Well, let me bring a product to your attention that I stumbled upon that I think will help to drive traffic, increase user interaction, and can even help your images to go viral.What Can You Do To Increase Your Chances of Improving Traffic To Your Site and Increasing Conversions?
Secret Social Images is a 16 page pdf product that is quick to download and read. And while there is a OTO (one time offer), don't feel you have to get it or that you will be missing out on something that you need in order to be successful using this method. You won't.
So, relax and concentrate on how this product and accompanying fr.ee resource can improve your marketing campaigns.
Alessandro provides you with a direct link to the online site you need to go to and join. So, let's do that now. Why don't you join me?
To start, I noticed that on page 5 of that the link to the online resource is spelled with an "s" on the end of the domain name. Immediately, I knew that was incorrect, as I had already checked out the site previous to this.
So, when signing up for the service, don't use the link provided, as it will send you to an incorrect page. Remember to just leave off the plural version of the domain, namely the "s" before the .com and you'll be just fine. (NOTE: Alessandro has already made corrections to this in the pdf, so all good now).
Make Wise Choices!
As you proceed to the website, you are faced with a choice. Choose wisely! I say this, because you have two options. Both of the options are free accounts.
Now, I don't know how big of a stickler this site is about their TOS (terms of service), but I am a firm believer that we all should do everything we can to comply with the terms of service of any site.
If you feel that you cannot live with the terms of service, I'd suggest not using the service and move on. Otherwise, be prepared to deal with the wrath, if caught doing otherwise!
So, what exactly are your choices? You have the option of registering as a standard user or a commercial user. That makes it rather clear, right?
Well it really does when you read the rights of the standard user vs. the rights of the commercial user. And I suggest that you do take the time to read the rights.
Regardless of which user you choose to be, you are allowed to use it for your own purposes/sites. However, there is a big difference in what you are NOT allowed to do, IF you choose to be a standard user, and then proceed to use the site's function for commercial use.
Therefore, my suggestion would be, if you are undecided as to your purpose or goal, because you are new to all of this, then I'd choose to be a commercial user. Hands down! Then, you don't have to worry about violating terms, if you later decide to slip in some affiliate links. Both accounts are available to you at no charge.
Besides if you're going to be online, have a website of your own, or just spend your quality time doing the social networking thing, why not prosper from your actions?
With Secret Social Images, you can embed linking icons that feature descriptives, affiliate links, shopping carts, links to your ecommerce or ETSY site, you name it, even videos! Have I peaked your interest yet? =)
Take a LOOK! Closer...closer...closer...Yep! What you are seeing truly exists on the image below. See those icons? When you create your graphics with icons you have just turned your image into a selling machine or teaching aid!
Recognize those symbols? How would you like to add Facebook, a shopping cart, and what might be email look familiar to you sound? Do you think this would be helpful in your marketing goals?
This capability is difficult at best without the right tools when trying to circulate pictures from and to Web 2.0 properties, such as Squidoo or Pinterest. But I have to tell you that the opportunities that this opens up for all of us as marketers is, well...EXCITING! I hope that you start to feel the excitement as well.
Until now, I've never considered being able to do such a thing, and yet, have looked for ways of doing similar things in the past.
However, in my research, since finding "Secret Social Images", I discovered that people have been using this site in the educational field for some time.
This does not surprise me as a former veteran teacher. I was always looking for ways to engage my students and that is what this resource will do for you and your audience. I still am! The only difference is that now I'm speaking to a different audience. YOU! =)
So, I suspect that it originated out of that need and is just now being made public or catching on in the internet marketing arena.
Thanks to Alessandro Zamboni for creating, Secret Social Images , as otherwise I might not have discovered this site on my own for some time.
Personally, I do a lot of research, so it amazes me that I don't remember stumbling upon this site before. You can rest assured that I won't be forgetting about it now!
I hate to admit it, but the selfish side of me is somewhat glad that this site has not be saturated with IMer's, affiliate marketers or Kindle Publishers. It's nice to be part of a movement before that dead horse has been worn out and is no longer useful!
Have you made your choice yet? Standard or Commercial? Let me help you decide.
Things To Consider:
*Again, both membership accounts are available to the end user at no cost. Zero. Zip. Zilch.*The major difference between the standard and the commercial membership is your ability to use it for commercial reasons...namely $$$.
Still, if you use it commercially, it is free of charge. If you are just starting out or are facing an extremely limited budget starting out, this is your golden opportunity to bring much needed attention to your pictures. Perhaps, even help to ensure that they will go viral.
All three services - standard, business, and premium business accounts come with the following features:
*Ability to upload an unlimited number of images
*Unlimited Facebook applications
*Metrics are based upon aggregate(total usage of images on the site and anywhere embedded) for Standard (Individual) and Business, whereas Premium Business metrics are based upon detailed useage (each location where images are embedded).
So, what's the catch?
How does this site make it's money? Simply put. They offer a Premium Business account. How does it differ from the regular business account? Check it out!*Advanced metrics
*Group account
*Url shortener
*Upload custom icons
*Priority support
What else do you need to know? Well, since this feeds into a very social media marketing environment, keep in mind that the site encourages you to join with either your Twitter or Facebook accounts first, but also allows joining through your email. So, you have three options when registering.
Secret Social Images by Alessandro Zamboni leads you through the registration process using lots of screenshots and detailed instructions.
After the sign up process, we are led to create a first "socialized" image.
I strongly suggest that you upload your own images, purchased images from one of your favorite photo sites, or free images that give special permission for commercial use.
Do NOT under any circumstances use copyright protected photos, etc. without purchasing those rights for commercial use. Let me repeat that...
You do not want a legal situation on your hands, because of carelessness or willingness to disregard the law!
Alessandro provides a site that he uses in the Secret Social Images guide where he obtained copyright-free images for commercial use. Check it out. You can never have too many good resources in your toolbox.
In addition to this, Secret Social Images provides 12 types of images to create. These are good examples of how these images we can create help to propel your marketing efforts, no matter what your goal.
One of the most valuable pieces to the puzzle of getting the most mileage out of this resource is the fact that it provides the different platforms that can be "set-up or enabled" to put this method into action on our preferred platforms.
Setting up this method is easy and cost effective. The only cost in putting this method or strategy in action is the cost of this guide and images, if needed. Do you have to have this guide to make this method work? Of course not!
But, then again, how long would it take you to discover this site on your own. The knowledge of the site is worth paying for the guide in my opinion.
Another insightful aspect of using this resource (site) is that it provides valuable stats indicating how many people interact with your images. Pretty amazing, I think. Does this sound like something that you could use to help you in your marketing efforts?
Let me know what you think. I'd love to hear if you have more ideas, not listed in the guide, that you would like to share.
Better yet, once you have purchased the product, come back here and share something you have created with others. We'd love to see what you have done.
So, if you feel that Secret Social Images is right for your marketing needs, I've included a link for your convenience here.
Take care and stay tuned...
