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.

Chal Daaru Peete Hai!

Samay se chura kar kuchh waqt, Zindagi jeete hai. Chal daaru peete hai... Wo sapno ki chadar jo fat gayi hai, Nashe me hi sahi, Aaj usko seete hai, Chal daaru peete hai... Usko bata do ki ab aur intezar nahi uska, Uske intezar me na jane kitne din, mahine, saal bus yun hi beete hai, Chal daru peete hai... Zindagi me hasil karne the jo mukaam, sharab k nashe me hi sahi, Aaj unhe jeete hai... Chal daru peete hai... Gamon Ko chipa kar khusiyan batein Chehare pe hasi ka ek aur nakab pahne.. Chal daru pite hai.... Yaadon ki baarat me khuch pal bitate hain Thoda thoda yaad kartein hain... Chal daru pite hain... Khuch pal ke liye he sahi  Samay ko dokha detein hai. Chal daru piten hain Written By an Unkown Writer!! But must say "Chal Daaru Peete Hai!"

Alone

It’s really an irony, instruments that were designed to bring people close have actually taken them apart. According to a study, depression in teenagers has increased because of social media platform, Facebook. Remember the good old days, where, as students, we used to write compositions and debate on advantages and disadvantages of technology. I still remember that one of the advantages was that it has made communication easy and has brought people closer.  But look at society today! Even if some friends are sitting at a table drinking coffee, the majority of their time is spent looking at their mobiles. Isn’t this an irony! Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Video call, and smartphones were designed so that people who don’t live nearby, or can’t talk to each other easily are able to communicate. We know what our friends are doing, what’s the major happening in their life and even though we are miles apart, be part of their life.  But (and that’s a big but), cases of ...

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...
