This post is to explain my submission and also to provide more insight into why I believe Charles Heflin's SYNND solution is the right one for effective social media marketing. Take a look at the image below …

Do you notice my yesterday's post at the top of the Digg.com list with 13 votes … compared to the ones below with 2 and 1 votes?

This is the main difference between SYNND and the rest of the solutions I mentioned in my post. The post with the most Diggs stays at the top (better still if the Diggs are from a wide geographic spread).

Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with these other products … they are solid products developed by very knowledgeable and experienced Internet marketers … my point is the approach or strategy to implement social media marketing is wrong -  so you have a case of the right horse pulling the wrong cart!

And here is why, I believe Charles Heflin and his team at SocialMediaScience.com have taken social media marketing to the next level and implemented a social media marketing model that effectively leverages time and the power of social networking.

Let me first outline the process with SYNND for creating the global buzz for your content, bookmark or tweet -

1. With SYNND, you have the option to -

a) post content for syndication in the social news sites like Digg, Reddit, Mixx..
b) bookmark your URLs on socialbookmarking sites like Delicious, JumpTag, Folkd, Faves, Blinklist …
c) retweet your post on Twitter

2. It takes all but 2 – 5 minutes to make a submission (content syndication, bookmark or tweet) to the SYNND Central Server.

3. Then its hands off … the Remote Automator (RA) takes over and distributes your content across the SYNND network (after it passes quality control) for the army of other Remote Automators to log in to the respective accounts of their owner (other SYNND subscribers) and either vote on, bookmark or retweet your submissions.

All this is done without any human intervention (although you can select more tasks for your RA to perform and thereby earn more credits).

4. You can set up how many 'buzzes' you want your submissions to receive and the maximum buzz per day (in the Digg example above I set mine to max of 13). The entire process of meeting this 'buzz' count and distributing the submissions across a wide geographic base, at different time intervals, is done through automation.

QUICK – SIMPLE – EFFECTIVE marketing!

Now I will address the TOP 3 Reasons Why I became a SYNND member -

1. Time Saving:

This was the biggest issue for me. Despite all the automation power behind SEnuke, EVO2, Bookmarking Demon and others, it still took me few hours to -

a) create those hundreds of accounts across web 2.0, social bookmarking, twitter, articles, scuttle and pligg sites
b) spin the content (more accounts to submit = more variations to create), and
c) submitting them (with/without auto CAPTCHA solving)

No denying these were effective … I have often dominated 6-7 out of 10 results on page 1 of Google (with social news sites, video sites, RSS sites and article sites) using the above tools … but it was not a good return on my time.

With SYNND, it is simply the quick creation a few accounts (quality over quantity), and the submission process is down to 2-5 minutes per submission. The 'behind-the-scenes' automation is simply awesome.

2. Social Networking Power:

The second issue was whether or not I was getting enough leverage from my social media marketing efforts. The example of the 13 Diggs vs 1 Digg explains this. It is a well known fact that the more 'buzz' your backlinking content gets, the more authority is assigned to it by Google. SYNND wins this hands down with way in which it has been designed and implemented.

This is why SYNND requires fewer sites to submit to, compared with the other tools – for better end results. It is due to its ability to create a powerful buzz for your submissions as compared to the weakness of single submissions (1 Digg vs 100s of Diggs).

[Web2Mayhem has implemented a similar concept with its Web2.0 Co-op syndication ... but it is completely manual and dependent on the time and intent of the members within the network. With SYNND, this dependancy is eliminated with the use of the ubiquitous Remote Automator. ]

Also, more importantly, on account of the human QA being done on each of the submissions and the member BEST PRACTICES rules in place, the quality of the content that gets syndicated across the network is assured, which protects the members reputation and their accounts on the various social media sites including sending a strong message for social responsibility in social media marketing.

3. The Price:

At $67/month the SYNND service is extraordinarily cost-effective compared to the $100+/month you pay for the other tools.

Finally, The Icing on the SYNND Cake – SIMPLICITY:

With all the pressures on our time and attention, we crave for simplicity … SYNND is implemented in a very simple yet effective way that save you time whilst leveraging the power of the social media networks for you.

With simplicity comes more participation … suddenly for me, social media marketing has become fun (I no longer feel like a slave to social media marketing) and so I am doing it more often, and I'm seeing the positive results in my business – WIN-WIN-WIN!

I hope you found this post useful. Please leave you comments/questions below so we can discuss this deeper for the benefit of all.

As an Internet Marketer and Marketing Consultant I am constantly exploring the areas that affect my business. Social media marketing has always been a fascination for me primarily because I was intrigued by it. Never fully understood how and why it worked, but savvy enough to know that it was the most important piece of the Internet Marketing puzzle that I needed to solve.

Yes, I have read a lot about it, tried out the latest and the best software (SEnuke, Bookmarking Demon, BruteForce SEO, SocialBot) ran multiple campaigns over many months … but deep inside I was still dissatisfied with -

1. the hours I spent creating new accounts (whether it was automated, semi-automated, or manual), it still involved time (my time as well as PC time)
2. the more boring hours I had to spend propagating my websites and posts to the ever increasing social media universe

… and after doing all the above, I could not see any significant return on my time or money spent.

No, don't get me wrong … I would see my content on the first page of Google for very competitive terms … in fact multiple listings in a very short span of time … Digg, Mixx, YouTube, Feedage etc. … but they disappeared after a while and I found many of my social media accounts closed for violation of TOS (and mind you, I'm not a black hatter)!

I felt there was something missing … or maybe my social media marketing strategy was wrong? So I began to probe around some more … I started visiting the social media and social bookmarking accounts I had set up previously and I started to notice something … something significant … particularly in my Digg account …

All my submissions across multiple accounts had this (notice the 1 Digg?)-

whereas I saw many postings at the top of the subject pool with this (multiple Diggs)-

That was my eureka moment … yes, I've got my social media marketing strategy wrong. Which is when I began searching for solutions … and that led me to Charles Helfin and his post "Social Bookmarking is Tricky" (click here to read it).

Finally all the huff and puff about social media, bookmarking, twittering, etc., etc. started to make sense. I also read "The-Complete-Syndication-Revelation Report" Charles Heflin and Thomas Rozof put out, and all the pieces of the puzzle as well as my frustrations with time and effort spent on social media marketing started to dissolve as I found a new, more effective way to leverage technology and build a long term social media marketing strategy …

I signed up to the SYNND network was truly amazed at the level at which Charles and his team at SocialMediaScience.com had taken this project. It had all the elements of success -

A well conceptualized content syndication and bookmarking service

An awesome training area which uncovered the secrets behind social media marketing and effective Internet marketing

A well set up membership area and support forum

The unique credits system (you get 500 free credit each month with your membership)

A very affordable price point of $67 per month

The best yet was the awesome SYNDD application and its Remote Automator (RA) – a tireless virtual assistant!

As Charles has defined it – SYNND is a human powered promotional engine leveraged by software automation -  which is exactly what it is! This awesome system makes it possible to  outsource your marketing to 600+ people worldwide in less than 2 minutes!

The concept is simple and the implementation effective!

SYNND is -

1) A community consisting of over 600 existing members

2) A software which automates promotional tasks known as “campaigns” for each member

3) A tool that coordinates 600+ members (in concert) on a single member’s campaign.

It is the EQUIVALENT of having 600+ people promoting your content across the social web and the search engines so you don’t have to. The end result is that you start creating a worldwide buzz around the content you have posted on the social networks and your 'Dugg' content has more that the '1' Digg staring back at you!

This is a diagrammatic representation of how SYNND works -

The BEST part is the SYNND Remote Automator (technology working for you):

The SYNND Remote Automator (a little 'bot') that runs invisibly and quietly in your PC background without disturbing your computer's processes. It unobtrusively completes the tasks that you assigned allowing you to focus on your main job at hand. Whenever it sees a task assigned, it launches an invisible browser that automatically logs you into the social media site, completes the tasks on your behalf and then logs you out.

I set up the Remote Automator on an old laptop and it works for me 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (even my kids can't interrupt its work) … Mac users and those of you who do not want to keep your PC running 12 hours a day/7-days a week, have the option of hosting it on the SYNND servers at an additional cost of $17.95 per month – well worth the price considering the importance of the tasks it is performing.

The SYNND Remote Automator, in my opinion, is the most significant differentiator between SYNND and the other social media marketing products out there including SEnuke, BruteforceSEO, Bookmarking Demon, SocialBot and even the newly released Web2Mayhem (Web2.0 Co-Op service).

The SYNND Remote Automator saves you time and does not interrupt you from doing other tasks, while it is performing tasks for you … and is effectively  is your 'Virtual Assistant'.

Using SYNND effectively enables you to -

1. maintain the equivalent of 10,500+ social media accounts,
2. rotate your IP address across 600+ different IP addresses from around the world, and
3. work non-stop for 160+ hours every time you want to achieve the same effect that Synnd does for you in just a FEW MINUTES.

The system simply rocks … and at its price tag, its a heck of a deal.

The BIG question users of other bookmarking services will ask is – How Is SYNND Different?

The answer is simple … its creating a back link for your content (with other social media applications) versus creating a Social BUZZ for your content (with SYNND). This is a very big difference and is what the new SEO 2.0 is all about.

You can watch the SYNND demo video here.

Synnd benefits in a nutshell:

• Higher search engine rankings
• Higher visibility from up to 600+ members making up to 10,000 references to EACH piece of your content throughout the social web
• Higher exposure in the social networks to rise above the noise
• Get “noticed” in social networks through the power of 600+ people coordinated on increasing your visibility
• Traffic in growing numbers
• Initiates the viral spread of content by injecting it in the most popular social networks.

I would recommend that you sign up for the $1, 14-day trial of SYNND and try it out. Once you're inside you will experience the same excitement I did when I got in.
