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.
