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!
