Amplify Featured in PRACTICAL ECOMMERCE !
As an e-commerce merchant of 18 years , i understand the waves of change that come in all shades of color. To me Amplify became one of the colors and its here to stay.
a shade of social commerce and new media is upon us and it also has what i like to call its sub-colors. Amplify brings order to those sub-colors floating in and out of our social grid like changing seasons.
I started watching Eric & Co. in the early Amplify public beta stage .
Amplify service -concept gave me feeling of control in its beta stage which impressed the heck out of me.
Now i am gearing up to develop a syndication hub to my business blog around amplify as an extenction to help automate many manual (valuable) marketing tasks.
As a benefit to thers , i will optimize some of the grog(group-blog) driven features for my distributors & community to use , sort of an easy bridge to social media.
I serve a B2B niche .
In many cases we deal with a basic skill user who i trust will adopt very well to Amplify but not always to facebook or especially twitter as a business tool.
To me Amplify alone or even paired with other 3rd party apps is a personal/public content driven Monster on Steroids.
When the holiday rush is over i plan to go to the lab with amplify integrations.
My plans for 2010 is making Amplify one of my inbound traffic Magnets - the driving force behind inbound syndication.
i would like to leave you with something powerful that Amplify can do for you as soon as your ready. its free but a huge comodity when executed correctly.
Ok, Here is MY AMPLIFY POWER TIP :
Use Amplify to create an SEO
Amplify.com Combines Blogging, Social Networking, News Clipping
Amplify is a combination of social bookmarking, news clipping, blogging, microblogging, and social networking. Its creator, Eric Goldstein, calls Amplify a more “spontaneous, transient and social way than blogging seems to offer.” Amplify is a hosted blogging solution similar to Blogger, TypePad, Posterous or WordPress.com. I think of it as a mashup of Delicious (bookmarking), Tumblr (life streaming), Posterous (blogging), Twitter (microblogging), Ping.fm (content syndication) and Facebook (social networking). In other words, it’s an all-in-one tool for content creation, curating and conversation.
For ecommerce merchants, especially those who offer several product lines, this could be a useful feature for search engine optimization. Develop a blog specifically targeted to each product line and use the clipping feature to scrape content from product pages on the ecommerce site, wrap some keyword-optimized copy around it, and there’s the blog post.
