Must Market

I'm all about Infographics these days, so I decided to break down my new book into some fun stats. Take a look!

Marty Note
Gary Vaynerchuk's latest book is excellent. Gary describes the Thank You Economy as a great "jab" book. He wanted to right a great "right hook" book too, a book about conversion and how to finish the social marketing fight we are all in. 

He is aware, via his consulting work, that many view social media as a fad. He wishes them well as they fade off into obscurity (lol). I love his 3 characteristics of a great "right hook":

* Easy to understand (and present) Call-to-Action (CTA). 
* Crafted agnostic and beautiful on any receiving device.

* Respects the nuances of the social network for which you make the content. 

That last bullet should be the eye opening moment for many Internet marketers. Marketers who have one-sided conversations that don't respect the subtle and not so subtle nuance of platforms they use to communicate their stories will be treated like the spammers they are. 

It is not enough, Vaynerchuk explains, to have awesome content. Content must be massaged to the medium. Where once the medium was the message now the medium influences the shape, form, tone and syntax of our stories. To be heard your marketing must speak the right language at the right time. 

Will be writing a more extensive review, but BRAVO and KUDOS to Gary for creating writing another groundbreaking book a true "right hook".  

Learning Internet Marketing's Secrets
My second Curatti.com Editors of Chaos post is about the strange alchemy that is Internet marketing, a alchemy that researchers into every business department, silo and idea. If a paradox is something that seems one way and in fact IS another then Internet marketing is paradox rich.

Knowing a paradox is a form of understanding the secret rules of the game. Vampires don't come out in the day, don't cast shadows and can be killed with wooden stakes are rules that govern the "vampire paradox".

Understanding Efficiency's Irony, knowing your Thetas and finding new ways to THINK about process and engagement are the rules that govern our social mobile marketing paradox. Know them, use them and you will never become a vampire and will know how to create engaging, inspiring Internet marketing.

It’s every marketer’s dream: producing a company video that goes viral or gets nominated for an Emmy Award. But if we have to be realistic, it should, at
