Males vs. Females Using Social Media

Pingdom, a service that monitors the uptime and performance of websites and servers on the Internet, recently published the results of a study they performed analyzing men vs. women and their use of social media.

Overwhelmingly, women outrank men. Does any of this data surprise you?

  • Twitter and Facebook have almost the same male-female ratio; Twitter with 59% female users and Facebook with 57%.
  • The most female-dominated site? Bebo (66% female users), closely followed by MySpace and Classmates.com (64%).
  • The average ratio of all 19 sites was 47% male, 53% female.

How do you communicate? Email – Twitter – Facebook

Do you encourage your clients to communicate with you over Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed or LinkedIn? Or do you bounce back to the old reliable email?

I think it’s smart that we make ourselves available through almost any social network. Our clients know how they can reach our sales team, our support staff, and me. But we do encourage the traceability and the power (unlimited threading, attachments, etc.) of email.

What about you? What percentage of your client communication is over email?

Free eBook or not-so-free eBook – Which One?

I’ve been working through several major topics the last few months with the goal of publishing them as eBooks on the web. A couple of the topics, including personal and corporate branding strategies, inbound marketing techniques, yes’s and no’s of blogging, and social media business strategies that work, have emerged at the forefront and should be published soon.

With the publication dates drawing near, I’m finding myself at another crossroads, or will be soon. Should I publish the eBooks as free downloads? I’m talking totally free – as in, don’t even collect email addresses prior to download.

I’m thinking in my minds eye that I should, if for no other reason than to increase the posibilities of viral distribution via email, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, LinkedIn, etc.

But being of a marketing frame of mind, I’m also hearing from the other shoulder that I should think lead generation and at least collect contact info at the time of download.

What do you think? Would a contact info gate before the eBook download prevent you from stepping further?

Research from the field:

Did any of these change your mind?

Do we love our customers enough to use social media?

In this age of sprouting social media, social networks and easy-to-use social communities, are we really practicing what we preach? Do we use social media to communicate and even more importantly to interact with our customers?

We should. Now, more than ever before, we have the tools to increase bi-directional and multi-threaded interaction with our closest and also the most distant customers. We should be thinking of new ways everyday via social media to let our customers know they can rely on us to deliver on our brand promise to them.

I love talking about Social Media. Let’s do it.

Social Media's Role in the Marketing PlanI had the great privilege of speaking at last week’s South Hampton Roads Museums Forum meeting.

We talked on social media, how social media fits into an inbound marketing campaign, how inbound marketing fits into an online marketing campaign, and how online marketing fits into an overall marketing plan.

Catch the video and slideshow of the seminar here: Social Media’s Role in the Marketing Plan.

Many thanks to Holly Carson at Keep Norfolk Beautiful for the invite.
