Save Money and Time With a Content Submission Tool

Save Money and Time With a Content Submission Tool
In these frugal times, we are often asked to do more with less. How do you expand your social media presence while meeting your other marketing obligations, all with the same resources as before? Red Bull and Starbucks can only get you so far! Okay, here’s a hint: you can’t buy it or hire it. The answer is simple: by saving time! Time is the most important resource you have, but since you don’t have to report it to the IRS, you probably aren’t paying attention to how you’re spending it. How much time do you spend posting on multiple social media sites to maintain your social presence? Let’s see how your small business or startup can save time using a content submission tool.
What is a Content Submission Tool?
A content submission tool is used to automate posting to multiple websites or social communities. After you sign up for an account, you enter profile information for your social media accounts and authorize the tool to post your content for you. Some tools allow you to coordinate seamlessly across multiple team members. For example, one person can draft a blog post or press release, another can make tweaks, and yet another can approve and publish the content. With the click of a button, the final content is automatically posted to your social communities for you. Various reporting features help you easily track what you have published and where it has been posted.
Free Yourself From Manual Posting
If you’re the manager, you decide which tasks are performed in-house and which jobs are outsourced. If you’re the only one running the show, chances are you get to do it all! Using a content submission tool frees you from manually posting your blogs, articles and press releases to social media sites. You can focus your limited time and capital on quality content development, customer acquisition and customer retention.
Take Advantage of Automation Tools
When selecting a content submission tool, you’ll want to choose one that has automation tools such as Plugins and a developer API. For example, a WordPress Plugin allows you to automatically submit your blog posts to multiple sites. A developer API, or application program interface, is a way for different websites to communicate openly with each other for sharing content. Rather than hiring a programming guru to accomplish the sharing by exchanging and embedding HTML or other code among websites, a developer API can do the sharing for you.
Track Your Content Submission Performance
So you’ve scheduled a bunch of content submissions to be automatically posted to social communities. Now what? Well, any useful content submission tool should come with a method of tracking results and monitoring performance. You can optimize your efforts because you can see the actual web traffic and backlinks generated from social content sharing. If you’re a consultant managing social content portfolios for multiple clients, you especially can benefit from using a content submission tool.
Get OnlyWire
A content submission tool like OnlyWire is a great way to automate your posts to multiple websites or social communities. With over 50 social networks to choose from, you can post your content to unique communities that are not supported by competing solutions. Here’s how it works‒ Sign up for an account, enter your social media profiles, and authorize OnlyWire to post your content to those sites. Then all you do is upload your content, choose the sites to post to, and OnlyWire does the rest. They have plugins to automatically push your WordPress posts and RSS feeds to the sites you set up with OnlyWire. And if you have some coding experience, they also offer a developer API. With plans starting at $12.99 per month and a free trial of 100 submissions, you have very little to risk and everything to gain.
What’s your experience with sharing content on social media? Have you ever tried a content submission tool like OnlyWire?

The Importance of Keywords in Social Bookmarking
The Importance of Keywords in Social Bookmarking
What is your Keyword strategy?
You’ve relaunched your site with new branding and focused content. You’ve set up profiles on the top social networks. You’ve spent the last two weeks stockpiling fresh new posts. You’re ready for launch! Or are you… Unless you’ve put careful thought into your keyword strategy, your social media plan is destined to fall short of expectations.
Here are some keyword strategy tips:
1) Use a keyword suggestion tool (Google AdWords) to get a start.
2) Once you’ve compiled a list of top keywords, integrate them into all your forms of communication (site pages, emails, social posts, print collateral).
3) Cycle your keywords in social posts to test their effectiveness. For example, you might use “gentle math tutor” in all posts one week and the next week use “SAT math tutor”.
4) Change the nuance of your keywords to fit the social network you are using. For example, on YouTube you might use “gentle math lessons” for your video post. On LinkedIn you might use “gentle SAT math tutor”. On WordPress you might use “the gentle math guy”.
5) For each social post, include your keywords in the title, url/filename, description/content and tags.

The good news is‒ managing your keywords is easy with a social bookmarking tool! Put your social bookmarking on autopilot with OnlyWire.

Save $2,100 a Month Using a Content Submission Tool
Save $2,100 a Month Using a Content Submission Tool
What would you do with $2,100 a month?
If you’re manually submitting an average of 5 posts per week to 50 social media sites, you’re throwing away $2,100 a month in lost productivity. What would you rather do with that money? You could rent a 1-bedroom co-op in NYC. Or buy Pippa Middleton’s Gucci bag. Or 1,050 Grande coffees at Starbucks. You get the idea.
The time it takes to manually submit content
Let’s say it takes 3-5 minutes to manually submit content to one social media site (open your browser, log in to the social media site, try not to read other posts, insert your content, complete Captcha finalization, re-load to make sure the post submitted properly). Now let’s say you need to submit that post to 50 social networks. And let’s assume you are consistently producing an average of 5 original posts per week.
How much is 80 hours of your time worth?
According to leading salary websites (payscale.com, salary.com), the average hourly wage for a marketing assistant in the United States is $25 per hour. 5 min. x 50 networks x 5 posts per week = 1250 minutes = 20.8 hours x $25/hr = $520 per week in manual posting x 4 weeks = $2,080 and if we round up…. $2,100! You’re wasting $2,100 a month in lost productivity!
OnlyWire users save time
The average OnlyWire user submits 2 posts to 40 social networks per day, or 80 submissions per day. OnlyWire users get 7 more hours per day to focus on content creation and relationship building. What could you do with an extra 7 hours per day?
Start now
Using OnlyWire’s content submission tools (Advanced Post, WordPress Plugin, RSS Feed or API), you can automatically post content to 50+ top social networks starting at $12.99 per month. Start using OnlyWire’s content submission tools now. Your first 100 submissions are free! Sign me up now.

Using Content Submission Software to Drive Credible Backlinks
In the age of Google’s Panda and Penguin search algorithm changes, it has never been more important to scrutinize the quality of the footprints hitting your site. But how do you attract the right traffic and drive credible backlinks?
How Google rates traffic
Per Google’s guidelines, “your site’s ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to you. The quantity, quality, and relevance of links influences your ranking.” Google further states that “the best way to get other sites to create relevant links to yours is to create unique, relevant content that can quickly gain popularity in the Internet community. The more useful content you have, the greater the chances someone else will find that content valuable to their readers and link to it.”
What this means for you
Scenario 1: You email a post to 1,000 users on your email list. Someone clicks on that post and goes to your site.
Scenario 2: You post to a top ranked social network site. Someone clicks on that post and goes to your site.
In both scenarios, the digital universe ‘sees’ the footprints and records their visits to your site as traffic. Same result, right? Wrong! Search engines now rank you based on where the footprints are coming from. Footprints coming from a top ranked (well-respected) social network are ranked higher than those from a lower-ranked network or site that has been blacklisted for abusive practices (keyword stuffing, sneaky redirects).
How to drive credible backlinks
Keeping Google’s suggestions in mind, the best way to drive credible backlinks to your site is to
1) Create fresh, relevant content on a consistent basis and
2) Post your content to the top social media sites.
If you are truly focused on content creation, you don’t have time to waste making individual posts to all the top social media sites. Focus on what you do best (creating content for your followers) and automate the rest (use content submission software to auto-post to the top social network sites).
Put your content submission on autopilot with OnlyWire. With over 50 top social networks supported, you can reach your readers where they feel most comfortable, and where you’ll have the most impact.

The Importance of Social Bookmarking Software
I’m often asked, “What is the value of social bookmarking when it comes to promoting my product, service or content? Why should I do social bookmarking instead of just a quick status post on Twitter? My answer is simple. Whereas a Twitter post consists of a shortened URL and a brief comment, social bookmarking allows you to send a link of your content as well as an image or notes (depending on the network). With a bookmark post, people can link back to the source of the bookmark (your website, blog, or promotion).
What is social bookmarking, and how does it relate to social media? Wikipedia defines social bookmarking as “sharing bookmarks of web documents (primarily to a web URL) in an Internet Web browser.” Social bookmarking is under the umbrella of social media. When you are social bookmarking, you are sharing your web site’s URL with others through social media for the purpose of getting your message in front of the largest audience interested in your topic.
How do you get your message in front of that audience? Few of us have time to personally submit content to all the top social bookmarking sites. You need social bookmarking software to automatically post content to the top sites for you. You submit your content to one place, and your post will be submitted on your behalf to all the social network sites you choose.
Put your social bookmarking on autopilot with OnlyWire. With over 50 social networks supported, you can reach your readers where they feel most comfortable, and where you’ll have the most impact.

Why Are Backlinks Important?
by Guest Blogger: Shane Barker
Why Are Backlinks Important?
We’ve all been told backlinks are important for SEO, but do you know how to get them and maintain high quality ones? Do you know enough to keep up with the latest search engine changes? Chances are, you have other things to do, like find funding for your startup or run your small business. Here are some ideas to get you started with a backlink building strategy.
Beyond Panda and Penguin Chasing
We’re all chasing the dream of achieving first page rank in Google. More exposure means more conversions, right? But are you really getting targeted leads when the only comments you’re getting on your blog are about Cialis and cheap Vicodin? Recent Panda and Penguin updates to Google’s ranking algorithm could be partly to blame. You need a backlink strategy that stands the test of time. The first step is to roll your sleeves up and get ready to learn more about backlinks.
Backlink Quality Matters
If you’ve been following the Penguin and Panda updates these last six months, you know that your website can be penalized for toxic links. Here are some things you absolutely need to do to ensure high quality backlinks:
Produce High Quality Content – generate high quality content that is not scraped or copied from other sources. Focus on content to develop genuine readership.
Strategically Place Links – gone are the days of spamming across many blogs and forums in an attempt to get more backlinks. Send your targeted message out to a few influential, well-connected people.
Focused Guest Blogging – guest blogging is a great way to develop backlinks, but choose your writers carefully, or it will actually hurt your search engine results.
Social Media and Backlinks
The role of social media in building backlinks is massive. Gone are the days of inserting hundreds of links into your content and hoping to rank solely based on backlinks. It’s not just about getting people to tweet or post to Facebook about your brand. Search engines now care who is doing the posting. And it’s not just how many followers they have, but the high value the backlinks have because they are experts in their field.
Social media is just a microcosm of society. Treat your online presence like you would if you were working a room of people. Gradually gain the respect of socially powerful and influential people. Genuinely work them into your inner circle, and offer a mutual benefit in return.
Keywords and Backlinks
You’ll hear me say it over and over again – relevancy. If the keywords on your website and the site you are linking to aren’t relevant, the search engines know. The search engines also penalize for keyword stuffing, and other shady practices people use in an attempt to gain ranking. Remember the high quality content we talked about? When placed online by the right person, that content organically grows the right kind of backlinks. If it is relevant to your brand’s message, you’ll naturally use the keywords when describing your product or service.
Defining Your Backlink Strategy
Your backlink strategy will depend largely on the size of your business, your available resources and what you are trying to accomplish. However, if you focus on developing fresh content and gaining readership, you can develop backlinks organically. Don’t forget social media too, but make sure to target influentiaI, knowledgeable individuals to spread your message virally. Guest blogging is still a great part of your portfolio – just make sure you get well-respected people to post about focused topics.
If you ever become confused about what strategy you should use, imagine yourself in a room face-to-face with colleagues. What would your message be, and who among your peers would you want to represent your brand?
