Emme Porter, Bruce Porter Jr owners of EmmeGirls LLC, DC Party Rentals, Social Networks Manager +1 202 436 5114
Bruce Porter Jr: Hi beautiful, what are we doing today?
Emme Porter: We’re doing the Networking Fools interview.
Emme Porter: Also what Bruce is doing, is buying this virtual real estate on the internet, and using it. So I think he would also like to promote his techniques with SEO and the Social Networks Manager™, which is really where his talent and passion is.
Bruce Porter Jr: ..and how it all integrates. You know we have the reality TV show, and of course we want the reality TV show to be a great hit, but realistically, if what we do it use it to brand our clients then it serves it’s purpose. So we want to use all these different methods of media in order to brand ourselves and our clients. Because keep in mind that the branding and publicity is very important to us, not only for getting new clients, but also getting new models. We have thousands of models on staff and it takes a lot of SEO to get them in here.

Here are some of the video highlights on the topic of social media marketing and search engine optimization from that interview +1 202 436 5114
Bruce Porter Jr: (speaking about Sports Buzz) ..for companies like them that have an android and Iphone app, marketing companies like us are very attractive. We not only staff the models for you, but we also promote you and get you in there on the first page of Google. If you Google “Sports Buzz Launch Event DC” of course you will see us, and the picture are filed and everything.
Emme Porter: He works tirelessly. How Bruce likes to describe the internet is that it’s alive, and so it’s a constant thing you have to work on all the time because it’s like a living breathing animal.
Bruce Porter Jr: SEO is one of those things that sometimes you’re really not sure why this happened or that happened. You just have to do so many things to get the results that you want. It’s a learning process. You know we’ve made mistakes too. Even a few months ago we made a big mistake and then you realize that is how that works and you have to work overtime to make up lost ground, but it is very effective… To go back to using the models, we take our models that are nationwide and do promotions, that is our business model. Then we use those models to promote ourselves and our clients. That is why when you Google us there are so many results and of course the name of the game is back links.
Emme Porter: Now that we have grown and are national company people use Google or Bing and they search for promotional models or trade show models and whoever is relevant is who the call first.
Bruce Porter Jr: As you know there is a huge difference if you appear on the first page of Google. It didn’t start off that way for us, there are a lot of companies out there who think they have the best promotional modelsor they are the best agency. People have been staffing models for years. It took a while to get there but we are now on the first page of Google for most of our key terms. That keeps the phone ringing and while word of mouth advertising is good, when large corporations hire promotional models, chances are they are going to hop on the internet and Google it, and call the first few people they see.

Social media has greatly changed communication over the past few years. Instead of saying, “Call me!”, a more common phrase these days is “Facebook me!” Likewise, more people are getting their news from the internet rather than the newspaper. In fact Facebook is the information source of choice for the “technology generation”. Even when conducting a search on Facebook you get internet Search results at the bottom of the page as well. So when you decide to sell your house, why not use websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, and LinkedIn to help reach buyers?
These social networking websites provide a valuable resource to sellers. Through Facebook, you can list your house and promote the listing with Facebook advertising. You can also share the posting with your friends, post pictures, videos, and notes highlighting the positive aspects of your house utilizing viral marketing for your listing.
Similarly, on Twitter, you can publish the listing via a tweet informing millions of potential buyers about the price and location of your house with a single click. You can further utilize viral marketing with your Tweets by including some of your favorite and most interesting facts about the house. You can target a specific areas and advertise your open house with times and dates.
LinkedIn is a social network for business professionals that also supports paid advertising. You can list your house on the linkedin advertising network and pay only for the clicks that you receive. You can also post the listing on your Linkedin status, share with your connections and email your linkedin contacts about the listing. If you have your house listed on the MLS directory you can also post that listing to your Linkedin account.

These sites can be especially useful when targeting young buyers. As the “technology generation” grows up, more people are turning to their favorite social network to help them find information, including looking for places to live. If your house is listed on the social network that your potential buyers are using, then you widen your advertising reach, and therefore increase your chances of selling your house in a reasonable time frame.

Meeting people and becoming friends isn’t like it used to be. While there are still chance meet ups and introductions by friends, more people are meeting online first. Whether it be for dating, business, or mutual fan bases, social media is connecting people in their home towns and across the world.
Kevin Phelan, Vice President at Gutenberg Communications, says technology has “accelerated” relationships.
Typically, he says, you see someone once a year at a conference, or you’re busy with your own life and don’t keep in touch with acquaintances. But with social media “you can keep a daily pulse of what’s going on. You can sit around the country and watch a game together. Then when you meet them in person, you all come together like you’ve never been apart.”
“I think it’s phenomenal to not lose touch and you’re eliminating the distance gap that a lot of people have,” he added.
Cait Downey of HubSpot agrees saying that online and offline relationships can run parallel. “It’s most magical when both lives overlap,” she said.
Downey says someone may have 1,000 friends on Facebook, and they may not have 1,000 friends in real life, but valuable information is still shared. With online relationships, she says, it’s easier to have conversations without interrupting people’s lives. “Phone calls can take blocks out of a day, but a tweet, text of Facebook message can quickly get a message across.”
Rich Brooks, president of flyte new media, says although this sharing of thoughts and ideas may seem foreign since it’s online rather than in person, it is still a relationship.
Brooks adds, “It’s not a relationship if it’s one-way; that’s called stalking.”

The success of a company is largely dependent on it’s marketing strategy. Your companies marketing strategy can make the difference between being a small company or a recognized worldwide brand. These strategies have changed vastly over the years. Before the age of the internet, TV and radio were the most effective ways to advertise your business. These days using social networking is a very effective way to reach and interact your consumers. Social media marketing is fast becoming the preferred method of targeted advertising.
Let’s say you own a construction company and want to promote yourself to new customers. One of the most effective ways to reach your consumer is through social media marketing. Using Social Media to market your company exposes your product to millions of internet users worldwide. Using social networks like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and Digg are cost effective way to gain new clients
The success of marketing with social media is evident when people perform a Google Search (or Bing, Yahoo, ect) for a specific keyword. If a person is looking for a promotional modeling agency they may search for “promotional modeling agency” or “promotional models” to find an agency that fits their needs. The sites that are most relevant and have the highest web traffic show up on the first page of the search results and therefore get the most clicks and most sales opportunities.
Start using social networks to achieve your targeted advertising goals.

With mega sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin social networking has never been bigger. These websites are not only changing the way we communicate with each other, but also changing the way we live our lives. If you own a smartphone chances are your most used applications are going to be one of the three listed above.
But isn’t it kind of a hassle on your smartphone? I mean, on a computer you can open up multiple tabs to keep track of what’s going on within your internet life. On your smartphone it isn’t quite that easy. Even with background processing it can be a pain if you want to post one thing to all of your favorite social networking accounts. That is where the app “Stroodle” comes in.
Stroodle is an app developed by Frinzer that brings you the ability to connect your Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin accounts all in one app. Gone are the days of multiple walls and feeds. Stroodle takes all three timelines and creates a universal timeline that indicates which social networking site it was posted from. Not only that but it goes the same for posting as well. You can post one single tweet or status update and it will automatically be sent to all 3. Don’t worry though, you have the ability when writing your post to determine if you want to only post it to specific ones.
So how is it you ask?
Stroodle delivers exactly what it promises… except it doesn’t quite live up to it’s true potential. Yes, you get a nice unified timeline. Yes, you can post from a single app. But something is just…wrong.
First and foremost the app is free. That’s a good thing right? Well honestly this time around it really isn’t. Firstly, be aware that you are going to have numerous ads all over your timeline (like the one pictured here). It even forces you to make your first post specifically about their app. That’s right, after you spend a few minutes connecting your social sites it actually forces you to make a post about THEM before you can actually go on and post something relevent.
It’s not like you can’t just go back and delete those ad posts, or pay $1 to go ad free, but it’s something that would’ve been nice to forgo altogether. The other thing Stroodle kind of missed on was profiles themselves. If you want to visit your profile or that of your friends you’ll have to exit Stroodle to go back into the native app of your social network of choice. While that doesn’t seem like that big of a deal, after a few days I was already tired of the extra work.
Lastly, the app is SLOOOOOOW. It comes as no surprise that the app would be slow since it’s gathering a ton of information from everywhere, but it’s REALLY slow.
Final Verdict:
Stroodle is a good app, but it’s just not a great app. While it delivers in some aspects I couldn’t help but want more out of it when using it. Frinzer took a step in the right direction but unless they improve what they started, someone will make a better app very soon. I can guarantee it.

Social Networks Manager™ Bruce Porter Jr Social Media Management for Advertising and Branding
My brother sent me a text and asked “what’s up with Gmail Motion”? Does he mean Google +1 I thought? Google has all but changed the world a few times over and now with it’s +1 recommendation feature in Google Searches expect more changes in search results worldwide. I do remember seeing something about this Gmail Motion earlier on April 1st day but as usual I was busy. I let the text sit in my in inbox and went about my day.
Note to self: Look into Gmail Motion
For those of us that use Gmail on a daily basis you know that we have a public profile that that is searchable and we can make private if we like. We also know that Gmail has a BUZZ feature that we can use to share social media with our friends. Google recently launched it’s +1 recommendation feature where you click a “like” or “plus” button to recommend the website to your friends. People will want to see websites that their friends recommend is the idea. Facebook is far ahead in the game with it’s “Like” button. You can “Like” just about everything on the internet.
You can imagine my surprise in hearing that Google launched another new product two days after the March 30th launch of +1? I was signing out of my Gmail later on that evening and I saw a video about Gmail Motion. I was greeted by Google’s Product Manager, Paul McDonald. Google claimed to have developed a user interface to send and receive email via hand and body motions. At the end of the video it said click here to try the product then APRIL FOOLS!
It was hands down the April Fools joke of 2011. A lesson in using social media for viral marketing, branding and advertising. The youtube video has registered 5,271,590 views as I write this and 15,102 comments. It has been a topic of conversation even for the Google haters and they have us all wondering how we can use +1 to achieve our targeted advertising goals.

So I just signed up for Google’s +1 experiment. Have you heard about it? It’s basically another way Google is trying to compete with Facebook. If you have a Google account, you can click on the “+1” box next to your search results if you like the result. Here is what Google has to say:
Use +1 to give something your public stamp of approval, so friends, contacts, and others can find the best stuff when they search. Get recommendations for the things that interest you, right when you want them, in your search results. Your +1′s are public. They can appear in Google search results, on ads, and sites across the web. You’ll always be able to see your own +1′s in a new tab on your Google Profile, and if you want, you can share this tab with the world.
The +1 button is shorthand for “this is pretty cool” or “you should check this out.”
Click +1 to publicly give something your stamp of approval. Your +1′s can help friends, contacts, and others on the web find the best stuff when they search.
Sometimes it’s easier to find exactly what you’re looking for when someone you know already found it. Get recommendations for the things that interest you, right when you want them, in your search results.
The next time you’re trying to remember that bed and breakfast your buddy was raving about, or find a great charity to support, a +1 could help you out. Just make sure you’re signed in to your Google Account.
Check it out and let me know what you think. At the very least we have a new catch phrase: “You just ‘+1′d’ this.”

As social media has turned mainstream, many people have started to use Twitter and Facebook in more constructive ways, instead of just connecting with high school buddies. For instance, some use them to sell their home.
Realtors and homeowners are turning to Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to market their properties in a sometimes frustratingly slow market. While these methods can help expose a listing to a new audience, it does require a strategy. You can’t just start tweeting and friending indiscriminately, since that’s a surefire way to become a social-media pariah.
In this brave new world, it’s important to first study the lay of the land before choosing your path.
1. Laying the groundwork

Advertise with Facebook Twitter Linkedin, Sell Your House with Social Media Management (202 436 6577)
For several months, Betsy Talbot didn’t put her Seattle home on the market. Instead, she and her husband Warren promoted it through social media. “We’ve basically been living our lives online for the last couple of years as we document the preparations for our upcoming travels around the world, so it made sense to do the same to sell the house,” she says.
2. Here’s what they did:
- Launched a website.
- Produced home-tour videos, which they’ve uploaded to their site and YouTube.

Betsy also kept track when someone typed in “move to Seattle” on Twitter, and then got in touch. Recently, a woman tweeted that before moving to Seattle, she planned to revisit her favorite restaurants in her current city. Betsy tweeted her back with a link to her website. “I tweeted back to recommend that she follow a great local food writer,” she says.
Betsy had shown the house several times, but then finally put it on the market. The house sold within three weeks.
3. Find a Facebook-friendly Realtor

Realtor Margaret Roberts, the broker/owner of MRM Realty in Groton, Mass., uses a Facebook page to market her company’s listings. Whenever a new listing comes in, she posts the photos and information on Facebook. While many fans are not in the market for a home, they’ll often forward the listing to friends who are. The listing gets passed from one Facebook page to another, generating a lot of exposure.
“It’s hard to quantify if any homes have sold because of Facebook, mainly because people don’t buy homes online. Instead they go through Realtors,” says Heather Logrippo of Distinctive Homes, who manages the Facebook account for Roberts. But she adds that two properties that were listed on Facebook have sold only three weeks after being posted, including this one in Groton.
4. The celebrity connection

Ruta Fox of Manhattan had her Upper East Side apartment on the market for almost a year with no bites. She recently developed a Twitter campaign (@divinediamonds) to drum up interest by focusing on the fact that many celebrities live in the neighborhood.
“My campaign centered on the fact that you, too, could live near celebrities if you had my apartment,” she says. A few sample Tweets:
“Madonna just bought a town house two blocks from RUTA.”
“Justin Timberlake’s Southern restaurant is right around the corner from RUTA.”
“Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha filmed ‘Sex and The City 2′ right around the corner.”
And so on. Each tweet included a link to her Realtor’s listing. So far, Fox reports that her strategy has increased the number of people at showings and she’s received two offers, both of which fell through.
She’s confident that a sale will come through soon due to her social media efforts.
5. Baby, it’s cold outside

Todd M. Schoenberger decided to market his San Antonio home by using LinkedIn and Twitter, but he knew he needed a lure. In early January when temperatures around the country were brutally cold, he posted that it was 70 and sunny in San Antonio, and provided a link to the listing.
The results surprised him. Though he hasn’t received an offer, more people have requested details than before he started posting.
However, social media by itself cannot work miracles. If your house hasn’t sold after a reasonable length of time because it’s priced too high, needs major repairs or is in a dicey neighborhood, all the tweets and Facebook friends in the world won’t be able to help.
6. Seller beware

Realtor Linda Slocum of Valencia, Calif., warns that though she does use Facebook and Twitter, posting too often can quickly turn into spam. So she doesn’t post unless there’s something truly unique about the property, like this one on Hacienda Lane in Newhall, Calif. “It’s different in that it’s a horse property with full horse facilities, which is unusual for our area,” she says.
“Each posting only stays in the stream for a few seconds for many people,” she says. If you repeat the same posts over and over, people will start to unfriend you, which is counterproductive to establishing relationships via social media.
In the end, social media is another valuable tool in the arsenal of house-selling and marketing techniques that must be used wisely to be most effective.
