Promoting a decorating service with Social Media. HGProject
Probably the strongest reason why we need the HGProjects organization: To organize promotion of the Hypergrid.
Firestorm promotion for Second Life
- Kara's Korner, Second Life Adventures
- Share your love of Second Life with a testimonial
- This is a good promotional campaign.
- Way ahead of the "Be a Vampire!" campaign.
- Look at their landing pages
- I'll bet somebody at Firestorm designed it.
- Why can't Hypergrid do something like that?
-
- Hypergrid has satisfied customers
- Hypergrid has communities that could make landing pages.
- But Second Life has one thing Hypergrid does not have.
- Organization. (OK. Maybe I exaggerate a bit.)
***********************************
- (More after the break)
- Where is Arcadia?
In a web-based promotional campaign, a landing page is a web page designed as a target for a particular ad, ad theme, or hyperlinked phrase. Look at the terms at the top of this article. Each term is hyperlinked to a landing page. In turn, each landing page carries links to other pages with additional content about the topic. This arrangement is an element of SEO (search engine optimization)
-
If this blog were selling something, the landing page would feature an option to buy or a link to the next step in the buying process. In the case of the opening Firestorm page, the landing pages may lead to a download Firestorm button and a special registration page.
-
The registration page may take you to a customized Welcome Center that fits your interests. ***********
The landing page topics mentioned by Firestorm
Could Hypergrid use a similar promotion?
- Clearly this promotion would fit HG.
- HGProjects organization? Do we have one? Do we need one?
- Such a promotion would need organization.
- Virtual worlds welcome on the web. Bypass the grid entry
- Reverses the old SL strategy.
- That was "Come into SL, then figure out what to do."
- This is "Here is what you can do in virtual worlds."
- "Come in and start doing it. Here is how to get started."
Gimme a concrete example
- Imagine a home and garden community, run by Dek O'Rater.
- With a name like that, she can never get on Facebook.
- But she has a G+ community, "Pimp Your Place."
- And she has an Opensim place of the same name.
- Dek also writes a blog on the same topic.
- The HGProjects organization announces its entry page plan.
- It will promote an HG entry page with general entry instructions
- And a community index to help people find communities that fit them.
- "To be on the index, submit your landing page."
- OpenSimWorld has the index and could show links to landing pages.
- Here are articles Dek could include on her landing page as related:
- Gardens and homes. The decorator story. How it could become a business.
- Building and real estate commercials? Are you as smart as a 6th grader?
- Check back in a few weeks when we hear Ann Tree Prenyour say:
- "Making your landing page is not work, it is an opportunity."
