Anyone is welcome to come by the show to watch as part of the live studio audience - 4pm Friday Special Guest: Hugh MacLeod Your Twitter bio says you are a "Cartoonist, bestselling author and marketing apostate." I had to go look up apostate and it's defined as "a person who abandons his religion, party, or cause." So have you abandoned marketing? Tell us about social objects? what is a social object and how do they relate to social networks? How should marketers think about social objects? Marketing Automation: Doing It Right http://www.hubspot.com/marketing-automation-examples/bid/28757/Great-Marketing-Automation-Ontolo-s-New-Version-Announcement I've been doing a poor job of giving you what you really, truly need as a link builder. For some reason, I thought I knew what you wanted better than you did. Because of that, we've built some of the most complex link building tools in the industry. In this letter (reprinted in part uncensored with their permission), the CEO of Ontolo, Ben Wills, apologizes for having led their product in a bad direction over their last version and explains the thought process and decisions that spurred the newest version of their product, which they are releasing next week. Ben ends the letter with a note that he will be sending a follow-up email with more product specific information on Friday morning to follow up, and thanks the community for being involved. The email never directly asks for anything except the reader's forgiveness for being subjected to sub-par software. They used this letter in other channels besides email, by publishing it on their blog and social media accounts as well. Ben sets clear expectations for his follow-up - After sending this message on Wednesday, he notes that you'll receive another email on Friday with more information about the next version of their product. On Friday morning when the next email went out, the people who received it were excited to do so: Ontolo had built up some suspense and excitement for the next version of their software. Imagine if your leads were actually EXCITED to receive their next piece of email marketing from you. Marketing Takeaway: You don't have to kill kittens when you automate your marketing efforts.

Marketing Takeaway: Create unique social objects FTW! Google+ Launches Business Pages http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/28618/Google-Finally-Launches-Business-Pages.aspx Google+ Pages have a similar look and feel to Facebook Pages, allowing businesses to leverage the social network to connect with their audience, spread their messages, promote their content, and generate leads. http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/28624/How-to-Create-a-Google-Business-Page-in-5-Simple-Steps.aspx With a network of more than 40 million members, Google+ is indeed deserving of your marketing attention, so smart marketers should set up their Google+ Pages as soon as possible. Avoid creating your business page through just any old account, such as a personal gmail account. Instead, choose a gmail account that is accessible to multiple members of your marketing team (e.g. companymarketingteam@gmail.com), and use that account to create your page. Promoting a blank page isn't a great way to convince people that your Page is valuable enough to add to their Circles. So invest some time into optimizing your page and sharing a few links to valuable content before you start promoting it to the masses. Marketing Takeaway: Haven't set up your Google+ Business page?
