Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) February 26, 2012

Entrepreneurs need constant access to the latest, most trusted internet marketing advice. According to CEO Warren Wooden, PLRInternetMarketing.com internet marketing forum is now open to the public and available for every entrepreneur to participate in and benefit from interacting with like-minded internet marketers.

Entrepreneurs have easy access to a lot of online marketing information and advice around the web. Unfortunately, most of that information is "one-way", in the form of articles and blog posts and reports. This one-way information provides concepts and ideas but not necessarily practical, applicable, or timely advice. This was a problem that Wooden noticed and PLR Internet Marketing did something about it.

Wooden says, "A lot of online resources provide great information but entrepreneurs don't get the practical here's-how-it-applies-to-you guidance that they need. What entrepreneurs really need to be successful is interaction with internet marketing experts and peers who are facing the same opportunities and challenges. That's where the PLR Internet Marketing forum comes in. Entrepreneurs can freely interact with experts and with each other to learn about how to apply internet marketing to their specific business scenario."

PLR Internet Marketing is a resource site and blog focused on providing free and paid advice on internet marketing for small and large businesses. Started just two years ago by Wooden, it has grown at an astonishing rate, outpacing many other internet marketing leaders.

Until now, PLR Internet Marketing's forum has been in beta mode as a select group of knowledgeable experts and business owners started discussions and built up the forum. But now, the forum is out of beta and available to anyone interested in internet marketing – from the curious to those with big businesses that they are looking to grow.

The forum has three key sections: The Main Marketing Area is for internet-marketing-focused conversations, the “Elite” forum for more advanced topics, and there is also a "coffee lounge" where non-marketing topics can be discussed and where users can enjoy the company of their peers bantering about unrelated issues.

The main value of the forum is the Marketing Area. In that forum, users talk about internet marketing tips, tricks, and techniques, the challenges and opportunities of running an internet marketing business, and how the constant changes in internet marketing impact businesses. With hundreds of members (and growing), the forum has already attracted a wide variety of people, from complete novices to the most experienced. Business owners will love the combination of internet-marketing-focused interaction with a distinctly entrepreneurial flavor.

Wooden says, "There are thousands of posts so far and, with every new post and reply, the forum becomes a more valuable place for internet marketers." Entrepreneurs will find tips and ideas to help them promote their business and internet-marketing-industry professionals will be able to share and discuss the latest best practices

Wooden adds, "The forum is a respectful community where everyone looks out for each other. Spam is not tolerated and actively policed, and the goal of the forum is for everyone to help each other become better at internet marketing."

Wooden admits that there are other internet marketing forums out there but what makes PLR Internet Marketing's forum different is that it’s a free site that is large enough for good interaction with experts but still small enough that "the little guy" won't get buried or disrespected by a few famous users.

"Ultimately, it's about business owners," says Wooden. "We want entrepreneurs to get involved and participate actively. If they see an opportunity for us to improve the forums and make it more useful to them, we want to do that.

Internet Marketing Forum is Now Open to the Public

SEO Positive has announced that it is currently working closely with client UBM Live to develop and manage a successful social media optimisation campaign in the run up to the company’s high-profile digital marketing exhibition, Internet World.

Chelmsford, Essex (PRWEB UK) 26 February 2012

Industry-leading SEO agency SEO Positive is proud to announce its involvement in the latest social promotional campaign from UBM Live, which is designed to raise awareness of the upcoming Internet World exhibition.

The online marketing expo, which is renowned as one of the largest and busiest events of its kind in Europe, will be running from 24 – 26 April 2012 at Earl’s Court in London. While attendance is increasing annually and the summit has received fantastic feedback from some of the world’s leading web companies, organisers of Internet World UBM Live approached SEO Positive keen to explore and expand their approach towards social media marketing channels, a strategy that has worked well for them previously.

The social media marketers at SEO Positive set to work earlier this year to fully optimise the company’s Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus accounts for maximum reach and have been managing and scheduling posts and content to engage relevant users. Representatives from UBM currently manage consumer interaction and conversation generated from the platforms and both parties are already focusing attention to the brand, with a large number of Retweets noted in relevant circles and communities.

Matt Wood, Head of Search at SEO Positive and one of the professionals responsible for the overall campaign, is delighted with the results to date.

“Far from resting on our laurels, we’ll be pushing Internet World’s social presence harder in the next couple of months to prepare for the event itself,” Matt explains.

SEO Positive was established in 2007 in Chelmsford, Essex with the aim of bringing effective yet affordable online marketing services to companies from all industries and backgrounds. The company offers a huge range of services including search engine optimisation, Pay Per Click management, social media marketing and online reputation control.

This Week in Money: February 18, 2012 - Video

The Digital Marketer newsletter explains why social media is costing mobile carriers billions of dollars.

Austin, TX. (PRWEB) February 26, 2012

Social media is the topic in the recent Digital Marketer newsletter, discussing why social media is costing the mobile carriers so much money. The newsletter asks the question, “Who really wants to give their mobile carrier more business?” Chances are, the Digital Marketer newsletter explains, is that people have felt slighted or burned in at least one of their dealings with their wireless provider. Customer service just doesn’t seem to be priority #1 at AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, etc., the newsletter reveals.

So people probably won’t feel sorry for them when they learn that mobile carriers lost a projected $13.9B in SMS revenue in 2011, according to a study conducted by research firm Ovum the Digital Marketer newsletter revealed. According to Ovum, the Digital Marketer newsletter adds, smartphone users are turning to social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter to send the messages they once sent through SMS. The Digital Marketer newsletter reveals that iOS users, can send other iOS users messages for free.

It’s easy to see how social platforms are shifting things to the customer’s benefit, the Digital Marketer newsletter explains, and this change has left the SMS providers in the lurch.

The Digital Marketer newsletter advises people should absolutely not feel bad for them, for at least two reasons.

1) Business models change, consumer demand changes, and it’s a mobile carrier’s responsibility to compete, understand what consumers want, and deliver. Companies that can’t achieve this should lose money.

2) The more people rely on social media, and abandon one-to-one text messaging, the greater the reach of your social media strategy. Customers and marketers are the ones benefiting!

When technology makes a process cheaper and more efficient, the newsletter explains, there’s a word for that, progress. The Digital Marketer newsletter says that companies that align themselves with it are the ones whose customers freely choose to do business with them. Companies that dig in their heels and try to throttle this progress down so they can save an obsolete business model, the newsletter adds, those are the companies that people feel trapped into doing business with.

For many years now, wireless providers have stood on the wrong side of the line, warns the Digital Marketer newsletter, slamming customers with massive overage fees, and hiking prices — while companies like Apple and Facebook have been building models that allow users to do more for less money.
