In this introductory article, we discuss the new buzz word digitrail which was brought out by a German company Digitrail and inserted in the urban dictionary 4th/08/11 and re-introduce by Trisha Amable of Girlfridayz as the New Buzz in the digital space in 2017
A digitrail is a social footprint print that you left on the internet, hence it the mark a person or business makes when he, she or it occupies digital space.
As you visit website and communities, you leave a digitrail℠ behind in another word you leave a digital trail behind. This social footprint maybe subtle or obvious depending on the quantity and frequency of visits and activities in which you participate your digitrail maybe sizeable or menial.
An example of this would be when you visit your friend's Facebook profile or a business of interest profile and learn that she or he is a fan of Jay-z and Beyonce or the Business of interest can build a responsive website for you within a month, you learn something about what matters to them. This information is one aspect of their social footprint.
User growth is an integral part of any businesses or communities of like minded people of interest hence having a Digital Mapping of your Social digitrail, give you a clear vision of your activities, your reach and interaction, connection with your digital space and you see your footprint clearly.
Businesses need smart people who can help them figure social media out. That means they probably need someone who looks a lot like you. So if helping businesses use social media is part of what you do as we do here at Girlfridayz, how do you make sure you’re in the effective, business-savvy, non-tosser 0.5% as 95% of "so call Social Media expert or marketer expert are crap"?
Social Media Content that make sense
Promoting products you believe in is a good idea and recommending a product or service because you think it good and it is fantastic and makes senses so yes by all mean hit the share button, if you don't then you are doing everyone a disfavour by not promoting it.
The same goes for selling your own products and services. Yes, you could give it all away for free, but ultimately, your ability to help people is dependent upon having enough money to pay your bills. Hence not charging for your services or products, give free guides, or e-book with great content which deserve payment hoping to acquire customer does not make sense.
In fact, the more money you have, the more you can expand, and the more you expand, the more people you can help. By that logic, refusing to charge for your products and services is hurting not only you but all of the people who will never know about you because you’re freaking broke.
Is this making sense?
I hope so, because the truth is, I’m really and truly concerned with where social media is heading I mean on LinkedIn which a platform primarily for businesses seeking staff doubling as a recruiting platform and also promoting your professional services to B2B and B2C as lately become a negative full of whining, obnoxious snooty, unhelpful people seeking approval in their minefield of crap walloping in delight with below par content.
Peps are getting so self-righteous. They sit there with their iPads and lecture the world about the proper way to use social media, talk with your team and bosses at your workplace, not helping because inappropriate so call sexual images and most of what they’re saying has no basis whatsoever in reality. It’s just smoke and bullshit.
As the small minority who understand we owe our audiences more than that. Have you ever heard of one of the 7 habit of highly effective people Seek to understand then to be understood
They deserve to be listened to.
They deserve to be cared about.
And most of all, they deserve to be given advice based on solid evidence.
In other words, we owe it to them to be authentic.
If that makes me a snob, then so be it. I’ll hang my flag high.
So, I guess that leaves only one question …
