LGBTNewMedia.com Launches

Matt Skallerud and Pink Banana Media are proud to introduce a new, free service to the LGBT New Media world... LGBTNewMedia.com.

Designed as a hub for LGBT New Media Professionals in all walks of life, including bloggers, online and social media marketers, researchers and more, the site allows its members the opportunity to both network with other members, as well as network and share what they're up to with the rest of the world interested in LGBT New Media topics and trends.  Using technology already integrated and tested in sites such as IGLTA.org and CaliforniaGayChamber.com, LGBTNewMedia.com allows members to share their blogs, Twitter status updates, Flickr photos, YouTube videos, Delicious bookmarks, Digg articles and more with other members and the online community following these LGBT marketing trends.  Members can also develop out a comprehensive profile which allows online viewers the opportunity to quickly and easily learn more about the member on Facebook, LinkedIn and even the new FourSquare.

While the goal for LGBTNewMedia.com is to be one of the top sites where LGBT New Media Professionals can share their social media activities with each other and the rest of the world, the approach is such that everyone benefits equally and has a vested interest in ensuring that this site is kept up-to-date and maintains state-of-the-art social media technology in order to best get the word out for LGBTNewMedia.com members and their fans!

Life Expectancy of Digital Content, with a Twist

Image
When I first saw this chart, I thought "what a great graphic to share with clients and include on presentations!"  But as I studied it in more detail, I liked part of what I saw, but for the rest, I thought "oh hell no!"  Let me explain. It was the blog life expectancy that first resonated with me... it felt right on!   Google and Bing make for a strong argument that content marketing, including converting social media posts into a solid blog posting, ensures that a digital marketing campaign will have a strong impact in both the short-term and long-term for a client.  2 years for a blog entry is a solid component to the digital marketing mix! For most of the other social media post's life expectancy estimates, I concur... but for Facebook , I do think it's important to point out that with their broad yet detailed member data, using their Audience Builder to hyper-target your exact customer demographic is second to none in digital marketing today.  Wh...

How Do You Select LGBT Media For Your Marketing Mix in 2018?

Facebook was our Social Media Adolescence but Twitter is where our Social Media Adult Life Will Reside

Image
Look at Facebook as wonderful, safe small-town America... not a lot of bad things happen there, but lots of good sure does pass by Main Street every day (think the Facebook Newsfeed).  Your Facebook village can only have 5,000 residents, and new ideas can really only permeate ever so slightly via Facebook business pages and groups you're a part of. The rest does not make it past the town line. Now don't get me wrong... Facebook was a great place to grow up, where we all mastered the art of commenting, liking and sharing (being engaged).  Look at Twitter as the urban face of social media today... it's the BIG CITY!  It's where you can jump in with both feet and be surrounded by millions instantaneously.  At first it's loud, it's noisy and it's confusing.  But then, over time, you start to make sense of it all and your surroundings.  You start to make friends and you start to listen both to people who think like you, as well as others with varying opini...
