Social media RFPs are the starting places for solid social media strategies, award-winning campaigns and long-lasting collaborations. But you get out of them what you put into them. Write a sub-par request for proposals, and the proposals you receive from digital marketing agencies will only be so strong. Leave too many questions unanswered? Expect to spend time answering the phone and writing lengthy responses to emails from interested vendors.

For any content creator, there’s a lot to like about the concept of newsjacking.

When executed well, a brand that jumps on trending topics can reap the benefits of extensive press coverage and a boost in social media engagement.

Link building used to be simple: you would write a bunch of articles, submit them to an article submission site, and get an external link back to your site. That doesn’t work in the post-Penguin era. While the right backlinks can grow your Google rankings, revenue, and brand , the wrong ones can get your site penalized.

The age of the smartphone opened up a whole new window for businesses to connect with their customers in an interactive way using apps. Because apps allow customers to interact with businesses from anywhere at any time, apps quickly became popular. Unfortunately, apps are not as exciting to consumers as they were in their early days. This has resulted in app retention rates declining rapidly and, for some brands, their revenue has declined with them.
