The New Age of Business
Apologies
I’d like to make my apologies for not realizing that I haven’t posted in close to a month. I have gotten caught up with classes, and the many new people I am meeting every day here at the residency in Alicante.
On the up-side it has given me a lot of time to look into the new wave of economics, marketing, and the whole entourage of business coming into view for me.
Market the hell out of it
If you’re not reading Seth Godin and you’re a marketer, even a professional with an amazing track record I highly recommend just taking a peek even if once a week.
His posts are never too lenghty and my favorite is that they are never strictly to-the-point. He makes you think! Take the example of The unclicking 84%; Seth’s genius in marketing takes you from concrete data, to making you think of what the next step should be for you, your venture/business/etc., and most importantly for your market. My ideas and questions for you:
- New ideas. Even if they’re recycled ideas with a new twist, or a new focus, that makes it become new.
- Can you change or increase your market focus without losing the original base?
- How can you take your brand to a level of incredible trust and promotion?
Social Media Economics
Yes; not marketing, media nor optimization…but Economics.
Many have put themselves in roles of Personal Branding consultants, Social Media Marketers and Optimizers, but you may be asking what does any of this have to do with economics?!
Actually, quite a lot. This new age of entrepreneurs has unleashed the venture capitalists, the big businesses and the small businesses to look into a new realm of enterprises. From an economical point of view, unemployment (9.8% Wolfram|Alpha) in America is still worsening, but with many more entrepreneurs emerging daily and new ideas coming fresh from those unemployed new businesses are starting up daily with the goal of giving a good or service to the people.
Now, here’s where social media comes in. The main social media hotspots are, San Fancisco, NYC, Boston, Washington DC, and the Raleigh-Durham (RDU/Triangle) area of North Carolina.
I point you to the NY Times Unemployment map (interactive) here. Accounting for the size difference of population between these metropolitan areas and other rural areas, the unemployment rate in the social media hotspots is relatively less than the other main areas due to their success with entrepreneurship.
Just some thoughs, what do you think? Leave comments.
