Jeff Johnson Tells All About Internet Marketing – Part 11
Feb 15th, 2009 | By Kevin | Category: Training VideosIn this video, Jeff talks about how he outsources his social bookmarking work. He simply has his employees or outsourcers subscribe to his RSS feeds, so anytime a new post shows up in the feed, they know there is something new to bookmark.
This could be outsourced to Rentacoder.com, ODesk.com or even Amazon’s Mechanical Turk.
I plan to hire a monthly assistant on Odesk.com this year to handle our social bookmarking. Earlier this year, I had a contractor in Pakistan go through about 250 social bookmarking sites, and verify they were still working, and the pagerank and alexa rating for each of the sites. I am going to use that list to prioritize the sites I want to target first when bookmarking. Another factor when looking at what sites to use is which site are not using no follow links so you can get some pagerank juice from them when bookmarking.
Originally from Wisconsin, I moved out to Salt Lake City over ten years ago on a six month software development contract. I now have over 15 years in software development, and was introduced to internet marketing back in 2003. During the wild west days, our business focused on content sites for Adsense revenue. As it became harder and harder to keep up with the search engines, our business has evolved, and forced us to focus on building lists and creating products. We now have a list of about 5000 interested in goal setting, and a small internet marketing list of about 500.
