Are Your Followers Following You?


Social networking sites are not only popular among networking enthusiast for sharing photos and their mood status, it is an important tool for almost all level of business houses to promote their brand.

There are various companies and applications which can assist you in developing an attractive social media face for the organization and would also get you popular by having people like that face and follow whatever comes out of the mouth, but during my research for the relevance of having a huge fan base or followers, I found a question which was quite remarkably left satisfactorily unanswered- Is the ROI on these marketing campaigns satisfactory? For some I am sure it would be, but for most, it isn’t.

Well a huge fan base or a high following might get you the social status of being widely known, but it does not solve your ulterior motive of promoting a product. Herd tendencies, that are widely used during marketing campaigns are not successful everywhere.

I can get you thousand fans and followers but if those followers and fans are not following you, and are not going through your each and every word with open ears than those followers and fans are of no use. As whenever it comes to promote a product they would ignore that tweet or update like all the others. It is necessary that the followers and the fans that you are getting are organic and are checking all the updates and tweets that you are sending, also they are forwarding those and are sharing those.

This would lead us to achieve two targets at once. First, whenever we market our product or promote our service, people would go through the campaign and we are sure to get a good amount of hits if the campaign is well designed. Secondly, such followers are more likely to share and like and comment and retweet your post which leads to getting the post ranked higher in the updates list of the respective social media network, which would also increase the chance of attaining more organic followers. Hence, it starts a cycle which would help grow the organization, the way it was supposed to through the marketing strategy.

This is a cumbersome activity and as compared to getting the herd followers and fans strategy, might even be more time consuming. But a well coordinated and planned multi level marketing campaign can make that possible in a shorter time span with a higher return on investment.

The Patriots

When Indian cricket team glorified the world with their amazing World Cup win, the entire woke up to a feeling of joy and happiness never felt before. Their were tears, belly dancing (by bellies better covered, though) and the Flag. Everyone cheered the hard work and honesty of the team and basked in the glory of the God of Cricket. During the match, the entire country stood still and even a childish remark about the team loosing could have been rewarded with lifetime imprisonment. But behind all this joy and festivities, I am forced to think, “If only the nation felt the way it felt, always.” Hypothetically speaking, if the team would have lost (though I always prayed for their victory) fans would have made the life of the players a living hell, and this no secret as some of the most eminent players have even voiced their concern about the pressure they faced. If only we would make the life of all those people who made a the progress of the nation living hell, wouldn’t we have al...

Kashmiri Folk

As time changes, our tastes and preferences also tend to change. And in this evolving environment we often forget where we belong and leave it far behind. I enjoy music and believe in its powers, and honestly prefer to hear more of the western music than the Indian Pop and Bollywood styles. But when I got a chance to hear The Sarod, The Satvik Veena and some other folk performances, I couldn't realize what all I was missing and how less I knew. When I joined Spic Macay, I never thought that it would be such a lively experience. The melodies that these instruments bring forth are definite to calm your senses. The music they produce is deemed to take you into deep meditation and relax your soul. When I think of Kashmir, I imagine beautiful valleys, glowing river and fantastic view, and a little turmoil due to political debacle. But when I heard their folk music, it was a totally new experience. It had passion, smoothness and energy,so much so, that girls listening to the mu...

The Indian Culture

Being part of SPIC MACAY, I had the rare honor of organizing a series of performances for Padma Vibhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj. As a volunteer it also gave me a chance to be in his presence and learn at his feet, not dance but some lessons for life. And as   a volunteer of SPIC MACAY I have had the honor of learning from many other great artistes.  Since I have associated with SPIC MACAY I have been continuously bombarded with the question of the state of our culture. It was always a question of great thought for me too. Why is it that you have to work so hard to make a presence of your own culture in the heart of the youth? They don’t have any knowledge and neither do they want to have any.  After being a part of that age myself, I was not able to find a satisfying answer. But once I sat for Padma Vibhushan Pt. Birju Maharaj’s performance, I realized what all the answer staring at my face. If you observe, the beauty of Indian art is that it is not just some mov...
