Other users may then vote the posted links up or down, causing them to appear more or less prominently on the Reddit home page.</p>
<p>Reddit is a source for what&#8217;s new and popular on the web &#8212; personalized for you. Theywant to democratize the traditional model by giving editorial control to the people who use the site, not those who run it.</p>
<p>Something unique about the service is that your votes train a filter, so let reddit know what you liked and disliked, because you&#8217;ll begin to be recommended links filtered to your tastes. All of the content on reddit is from users who are rewarded for good submissions (and punished for bad ones) by their peers; you decide what appears on your front page and which submissions rise to fame or fall into obscurity.</p>
<h2>How Can <em><a href="../">Social Media Helper</a></em> Benefit You With Digg?</h2>

<p>The problem with your current setup is that you want everyone to see you stuff, it&#8217;s likely quite good, but you don&#8217;t have the time to wade through submitting to ALL of these services.  Worry not, we&#8217;re pros at it.  We&#8217;ll take care of you &#8211; give us a shot and <a href="http://socialmediahelper.com/contact">ring us up for more details</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-156" title="digg" src="http://socialmediahelper.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/digg.jpg" alt="" width="312" height="300" /><strong>What is Digg?</strong> <a href="http://digg.com">Digg </a>is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by our users. You won’t find editors at Digg — They are there to provide a place where people can collectively determine the value of content and they’re changing the way people consume information online.</p>
<p><strong>How do they do this?</strong> Everything on Digg — from news to videos to images — is submitted by our community (that would be you). Once something is submitted, other people see it and Digg what they like best. If your submission rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of our visitors to see.</p>
<p>And it doesn’t stop there. Because Digg is all about sharing and discovery, there’s a conversation that happens around the content. We’re here to promote that conversation and provide tools for our community to discuss the topics that they’re passionate about. By looking at information through the lens of the collective community on Digg, you’ll always find something interesting and unique. We’re committed to giving every piece of content on the web an equal shot at being the next big thing.</p>
<h2>How Can <em><a href="../">Social Media Helper</a></em> Benefit You With Digg?</h2>
<p>How many times have you heard, &#8220;Gee, It&#8217;d be nice to have my website seen by millions, but I don&#8217;t know where to begin.&#8221;  Well, aside from writing good content, you need to have a good presence out there.  Digg&#8217;ing your articles usually takes a few minutes.  Add those up over a week or a month and you&#8217;re looking at several HOURS of time spent submitting your stuff.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re there for you, and like with our other services, we&#8217;re happy to do that leg work for you.  We&#8217;ll submit all your articles to Digg (and our other services if you&#8217;d like).  We&#8217;re not saying we&#8217;re going to &#8216;guarantee&#8217; you front page coverage, but we&#8217;re going to let it have a shot, by being included in the first place.</p>
<p>Many people say that Digg is too big for &#8216;the little guy&#8217; so don&#8217;t bother putting your stuff up there if you&#8217;re not a multi-million visited page.  Oh, contrare monfrare, it is most certainly possible, but it won&#8217;t be if you&#8217;re not putting your info up for grabs.<br />
<strong><br />
We&#8217;re not out here to spoof votes or &#8216;game&#8217; Digg</strong>, we&#8217;re looking to be your marketing arm for it.  You craft up your website and continue to write great articles and leave the legwork up to us.  Again, with any social media there are no guarantees, but like the lottery, if you don&#8217;t play, you can&#8217;t win.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-140" title="linkedin1" src="http://socialmediahelper.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/linkedin1.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="199" /><strong>What is LinkedIn?</strong> <a href="http://linkedin.com">LinkedIn</a> is an online network of more than 30 million experienced professionals from around the world, representing 150 industries.</p>
<p>When you join, you create a profile that summarizes your professional accomplishments. Your profile helps you find and be found by former colleagues, clients, and partners. You can add more connections by inviting trusted contacts to join LinkedIn and connect to you.</p>
<p>Your network consists of your connections, your connections’ connections, and the people they know, linking you to thousands of qualified professionals.</p>
<p><strong>Through your network you can:</strong></p>
<p><em>* Find potential clients, service providers, subject experts, and partners who come recommended<br />
* Be found for business opportunities<br />
* Search for great jobs<br />
* Discover inside connections that can help you land jobs and close deals<br />
* Post and distribute job listings<br />
* Find high-quality passive candidates<br />
* Get introduced to other professionals through the people you know</em></p>
<p>Your professional relationships are key to your professional success.  Their mission is to help you be more effective in your daily work and open doors to opportunities using the professional relationships you already have.</p>
<p>This isn’t networking—it’s what networking <em>should </em>be.  Forget exchanging business cards with acquaintances that don’t know your work, or trying to renew professional ties when you need a favor.</p>
<h2>How Can <em><a href="../">Social Media Helper</a></em> Benefit You With LinkedIn?</h2>
<p>LinkedIn has become a professional&#8217;s social powerhouse.  We are cumulatively getting consistent requests to join other circles.  You&#8217;d be surprised how many people you don&#8217;t know that are one step away from being your ideal candidate to hire, partner with, or collaborate with.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s much deeper than Facebook as far as your connections go.  They dig deeper into your professional life and dig out what is needed in the business world.  Facebook optionally covers that, but LinkedIn is geared more towards the professional but with a hint of personal relationships &#8211; you can &#8216;friend&#8217; somebody that you went to school with for instance.</p>
<p>What can <em>Social Media Helper</em> do?  We can find the contacts that get you noticed.  You don&#8217;t have time to filter through the millions of people to find your closest matches.  Let us search them out for you.  You never know where you might find your big break &#8211; let us help you seek that person or people out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-115" title="flickr" src="http://socialmediahelper.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/flickr.jpg" alt="" width="315" height="403" /> <strong>What is Flickr?</strong>  <a href="http://flickr.com">Flickr </a>is an image and video hosting website, web services suite, and online community platform. It was one of the earliest Web 2.0 applications. In addition to being a popular Web site for users to share personal photographs, the service is widely used by bloggers as a photo repository.</p>
<p>Its popularity has been fueled by its organization tools, which allow photos to be tagged and browsed by folksonomic means.  As of November 2008, it claims to host more than 3 billion images.  Flickr&#8217;s functionality includes RSS and Atom feeds and an API that allows independent programmers to expand its services.</p>
<p>The core functionality of the site relies on standard HTML and HTTP features, allowing for wide compatibility among platforms and browsers. Organizr uses Ajax, with which most modern browsers are compliant, and most of Flickr&#8217;s other text-editing and tagging interfaces also possess Ajax functionality.</p>
<p>Images can be posted to the user&#8217;s collection via email attachments, enabling direct uploads from many cameraphones and applications with email capabilities.</p>
<p>Flickr has increasingly been adopted by many web users as their primary photo storage site, especially members of the weblog community. In addition, it is popular with Macintosh and Linux users, who are locked out of photo-sharing sites that require Windows and Internet Explorer.</p>
<p>Flickr uses the Geo microformat on the pages for over 3 million geotagged images.</p>
<p>Flickr partners with third parties to offer streamlined printing of various forms of merchandise, including business cards, photo books, and large size prints.</p>
<p>Users of Windows Live Photo Gallery now have the ability to upload their photos directly to Flickr.</p>
<h2>How Can <em><a href="../">Social Media Helper</a></em> Benefit You With Flickr?</h2>
<p>Flickr is hot right now and has just been gaining steam since Yahoo! shut down their photo service and told everyone to go to Flickr.  Are you a photographer looking to get your name out there?  You&#8217;re likely stuck behind a camera a lot of the time looking for the perfect shot.  There&#8217;s nothing wrong with that &#8211; that&#8217;s what your job is, not marketing / advertising.</p>
<p>We can help with the latter &#8211; we&#8217;re good at finding like minded photographers and participating in the hullabaloo to get up to speed.  You just stay out there and get that great shot, leave the chatty cathy work to us.  We&#8217;ll go out and comment and review other sites that fall in your niche all while you&#8217;re snapping that next prize winner.</p>
<p>We’ll be happy to be that marketing-arm from your site. Give us a list of the genre you’re most interested in and we’ll out and mingling with the folks you want to see your photos. It can take a lot of your work week to keep on top of all the more than photos added each minute but trust us, we can handle it and start driving folks your way in no time! <a href="http://socialmediahelper.com/contact">Give us a shot</a> to see if we’re worth your time and money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-109" title="youtube" src="http://socialmediahelper.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/youtube.jpg" alt="" width="296" height="303" /><strong>What is Youtube?</strong> If you don&#8217;t know what YouTube is by now, you must have been in a coma for the past 3 years.</p>
<p>YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. YouTube was created in February 2005 by three former PayPal employees.  The San Bruno-based service uses Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips, and music videos, as well as amateur content such as videoblogging and short original videos.</p>
<p>In October 2006, Google Inc. announced that it had reached a deal to acquire the company for US$1.65 billion in Google stock. The deal closed on November 13, 2006.</p>
<p>Unregistered users can watch most videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos. Some videos are available only to users of age 18 or older (e.g. videos containing potentially offensive content).</p>
<p>The uploading of videos containing defamation, harassment, commercial advertisements and material encouraging criminal conduct is strictly prohibited. Related videos, determined by title and tags, appear onscreen to the right of a given video. In YouTube&#8217;s second year, functions were added to enhance user ability to post video &#8216;responses&#8217; and subscribe to content feeds.</p>
<h2>How Can <em><a href="../">Social Media Helper</a></em> Benefit You With YouTube?</h2>
<p>Just like other social networking sites &#8211; getting people to come see <em>your </em>stuff means you need to go see <em>their </em>stuff.  Do you have the time and resources to go out and comment and review other short films, clips, videos on your own all the time?  We&#8217;re happy to go find what is most interesting and relevant to your realm for you.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be happy to be your marketing-arm from your site.  Give us a list of the genre you&#8217;re most interested in and we&#8217;ll out and mingling with the folks you want to see your videos.  It can take a lot of your work week to keep on top of all the more than 100,000 videos added each week, but trust us, we can handle it and start creating buzz with folks in no time!  <a href="http://socialmediahelper.com/contact">Give us a shot</a> to see if we&#8217;re worth your time and money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-81" title="entrecard" src="http://socialmediahelper.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/entrecard.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="189" /><strong>What is Entrecard?</strong> <a href="http://entrecard.com">Entrecard</a> is a blogging network.  You drop your card to show other bloggers that you visited their site.  Other sites then drop their card on your site.  Entrecard uses a currency &#8211; Entrecard Credits (EC for short).  You can use this currency to buy adverts on other sites.  They also have forums that you can participate in.</p>
<p>Entrecard gives members a 125×125 pixel space to create an ad for their website or blog.  You take that &#8216;button&#8217; and then you can use it to advertise on other sites.  <strong><em>Think of it like a virtual business card that you drop in the proverbial &#8216;free lunch&#8217; bucket at your favorite restaurant.</em></strong> It&#8217;s very similar to that.</p>
<p>If your card gets chosen, you&#8217;re the advertiser of choice for that 24 hour span.  Breathe it, love it, get clicks through to your site if your &#8216;virtual business card&#8217; is enough to spark interest.</p>
<p>Potential advertisers can search the Entrecard system by newest to join, by how many “credits” it costs to advertise, by blog title, by blogs who display the Entrecard badge, and blogs that are currently accepting ads.</p>
<p>So on the same token you, in turn, get credits for dropping YOUR card on other sites.  People can see who has dropped on their site and usually honor the &#8220;U Drop, I Follow&#8221; mentality where if <em>you </em>drop your card on their site, <em>they&#8217;ll </em>drop a card on your site &#8211; giving you both credit for doing so.  The key then is to have as many people as you can dropping cards on your site.  How do you do that?  Welp, by dropping cards around the Entrecard-o-sphere, which can be time consuming.</p>
<h2>How Can <em><a href="../">Social Media Helper</a></em> Benefit You With Entrecard?</h2>
<p>Glad you asked, but we think you see the formula if you&#8217;ve read the paragraph above.  Dropping cards on other sites is taxing and time consuming, but it is nice to have the publicity it can drive.  Well, as many people co-author websites they often times will share that responsibilities of authoring, marketing, researching, and advertising.  We&#8217;re looking to help with the marketing side.  We&#8217;re happy to be co-marketers with you and visit Entrecard sites for you to drop your card.</p>
<p>Additionally, we&#8217;re happy to join Entrecard discussions for you and help you to create a social media atmosphere around it for your site.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever used the system before and had to take a break from it &#8211; you&#8217;d notice that once you stop doing your daily drops, your traffic will drop.  It is unfortunately, but the internet crowd is a fickle bunch.  They won&#8217;t wait up for you and won&#8217;t scratch your back if you&#8217;re not scratching theirs.  We&#8217;re that bridge between it.  We&#8217;ll keep your site alive for a day, a week, a month, or forever if you&#8217;d like.  We&#8217;re co-marketers of your site, <a href="http://socialmediahelper.com/contact">let us help</a>!</p>
