Content marketing for fake snow website
-
Hi there
I have taken control of a webshop that sells fake snow and winter effects products.
I am going to start a blog & in addition to paid and organic search practices, what other content marketing ideas does anyone think could increase traffic.
Cheers,
Ben

You have endless possibilities for content! Here are a few just off of the top of my head:
1. Facts about snow. How do we know that every snowflake is different? Why is every snowflake different? What kinds of snow are there? Why does some snow pack and and some doesn't? You could either have a huge article section or have some cool infographics about snow that are likely to be shared.
2. Trivia about snow - what country gets the most snow? What places has it snowed that usually never see snow at all?
4. Videos - You could put together so many cool pages about snow. You could easily compile youtube videos and make pages like - Top Ten Tobogganing accidents, Coolest snowmen. (There's another idea....pages and pages of ideas of things you could make out of snow....funny ways to make snowmen.), Top ten extreme skiing videos, top ten snowball fights.
I could go on and on. Speaking of snowball fights, you could have pages on snowball fight strategies. You could also have pages on cool ways to make snow forts.
Man...I want to change my niche to snow.

I would create a how-to section with ideas and examples/guides of how to use your products. You could also create some videos of these.
I would also look at **integrating social media into your site, especially the homepage, **and building a following through the main social networks, possibly pushing offers and discounts exclusive to these. A good social following will allow you to put your new content in front of your social network and help gain more links from this.
I would also think of doing some sort of competition for people to create displays/use your decorations and snow, then post these on your site offering a prize to the winner.You would want to put a poll in place for these and encourage visitors to vote on their favourite.
Hope this helps!

Should we add a weekly updated website blog (annotated re-postings) that mirrors our LinkedIn updates?.
We currently add original content to our website every couple of months in the form of long form articles we have guest authored for other reputable sites. We also maintain a LinkedIn company site with weekly updates in the form of annotated newsworthy re-postings. We are thinking of duplicating our LinkedIn update feed on our website as a blog in order to build more traffic and improve SEO. Hopefully the additional frequency of site updates will also help. Again, this additional content will be largely re purposed, with the exception of our value-added annotations. Good idea? Waste of time? Suggested tweaks? Should we link back to the original content source, no-follow, or no link?

On a website, is the most effective user experience for the social media icons to open new tabs?
There is debate around what is most effective for user experience. When a user clicks on the social media icons on our site, should a new tab be opened for the social media page or should the website redirect to the social media page?

Recommendations for a collaborative workflow for an integrated content marketing / social media campaign?
We are currently using an excel spreadsheet that is a homemade checklist of all of the various places we want to post. We take one topic, and we make various formats (video, promotional image, blog article, press release) and we list all of the posts we want to make in all of the channels (Twitter, LinkedIn, FB, instagram, pinterest, etc.). Is there any articles that describe a more streamlined way to do this? We have tried basecamp but looking for other options. We have a small team of about 5 people that collaborate to design, write, and post the content. I was looking for an article that describes the workflow that might simplify the communication and execution of this process. Thanks!

Would you guest post on this website?
Hi, What do you think of this website for guest posting - www.forevergeek.com Now to me I would quite happily give up a guest post to this website, and the reason behind this would be... DA:63 PA:67 MR:5.6 MT:5.8 And lots of social sharing per post and to me this would be a perfect site to get some exposure on, looks ok as well. BUT the only thing which would put some doubt in my mind is the PR2, I would assume a site with DA:63 would have a PR4/5. What are your thoughts on this?

Linking Facebook - Twitter - Website - G+ Profiles
During a spectacular presentation at Seattle Interactive Conference, Rand discussed how Google is able to see linkage between different social networks and a Google profile. Outside of setting up your Twitter feed to send loads of messages to your Facebook fans (or vice versa), is there a best way to communicate the "linkage" between your social media profiles to the search engines? Eg - How do you best signal to Google that your Twitter, Facebook, G+ and your website are from the same entity?

Say the site is a 2 year old eCommerce company that has this awesome clever infographic but not many blogger connections. What would be the best ways to get that content syndicated? What agencies are still left that do actual viral marketing now that Rand and Todd Malicoat have moved on the greener pastures?
