Great ideas from Hootsuite CEO - How to Get 5 Million Customers with Zero Ad Budget

A little while back, I wrote a post about how new startups may be better off focusing less on buzz and marketing and more on product quality and building organic support. After all, we’ve seen so many super hyped, promising new businesses fall flat lately, especially in the tech world.

To illustrate my points, I used the story of how my company, HootSuite, went from 0 to 5 million users with barely any advertising budget.

As usual, many of you left interesting and insightful comments on the topic, including Khaled Kobrosli who asked: “How did you reach 5 million users in 3 years; how did you let people know about your product?”

And Kundu B.S. who followed up with: “What were some of the specific techniques you used to get from, let's say 500,000 (at which point you probably know it works) to 5 million (when you probably know it's fine-tuned)?”

Turkish Twitter Users Circumvent Ban Via HootSuite - It is TIME TO FIGHT BACK!!!!

Image by Negatif Pollyanna

Yesterday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced an attempt to “eradicate” Twitter. The move was a response to criticism on the social network of widespread corruption in his government.

The ban has so far proved ineffective. Today, The Guardian reported that Twitter users in Turkey have managed to send 2.5 million tweets since the announcement. Turkey ranks 8th in the world in Twitter penetration, and the government’s recent efforts to curb its citizens access to social media do not appear to be diminishing their enthusiasm for it.

HootSuite has emerged as one of the tools Twitter users are turning to as a means of circumventing the ban. Our traffic from Turkey has tripled in 24 hours. Through HootSuite, users can access their Twitter accounts, as well as Facebook, Google+ Pages and LinkedIn accounts. This follows the pattern we observed during the Arab Spring uprising in Egypt.

This is EXACTLY WHY it is high time to FIGHT BACK! The enemies of the USA and West have been attacking our computer networks, phone networks and more for decades and we have done little more than to play fix it.

IT IS TIME TO FIGHT BACK!!!

Let's start ATTACKING THEM!!!!

The Social Media Opportunity for CIOs

The role of the IT leader is changing. CIOs must shift their focus from “keeping the lights on” to enabling organizational growth through new technology and improved processes. That means playing an active role in setting business strategy and aligning IT with business goals. With social media efforts taking an increasingly important role in the business, CIOs have an ideal opportunity before them: demonstrate their ability to evolve by facilitating the organization-wide adoption of social media in a secure, compliant manner.

The following passage is an excerpt from “Enabling the Business With Social Relationship Platforms,” a HootSuite-sponsored white paper from CIO.com. To read the full white paper, download it today.

How To Share Full Images To Twitter Using HootSuit

HootSuite has added a new feature today. Now, HootSuite Pro users can share images to Twitter using Twitter's native pic.twitter capability, which results in full images being displayed in the Twitter timeline.

Previously, HootSuite Pro and HootSuite Enterprise users were able to share images, but the images were uploaded and saved via ow.ly links and only shown on Twitter as part of the expanded tweet. As HootSuite notes, images in Tweets have been shown to increase engagement rates by three to four times over messages without photos, so anything we can do to increase the visual nature of our tweets will help increase engagement.

REAL ISLAM !!!

And slay them wherever you come upon them, and expel them from where they expelled you; persecution is more grievous than slaying. But fight them not by the Holy Mosque until they should fight you there; then, if they fight you, slay them — such is the recompense of unbelievers, but if they give over, surely Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. Fight them, till there is no persecution and the religion is Allah’s; then if they give over, there shall be no enmity save for evildoers. (Quran 2:191-193)

Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that Allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them. (Quran 4:34)

They wish that you should disbelieve as they disbelieve, and then you would be equal; therefore take not to yourselves friends of them, until they emigrate in the way of Allah; then, if they turn their backs, take them, and slay them wherever you find them; take not to yourselves any one of them as friend or helper. (Quran 4:89)

This is the recompense of those who fight against Allah and His Messenger, and hasten about the earth, to do corruption there: they shall be slaughtered, or crucified, or their hands and feet shall alternately be struck off; or they shall be banished from the land. That is a degradation for them in this world; and in the world to come awaits them a mighty chastisement. (Quran 5:33)

When thy Lord was revealing to the angels, ˜I am with you; so confirm the believers. I shall cast into the unbelievers’ hearts terror; so smite above the necks, and smite every finger of them! (Quran 8:12)

Make ready for them whatever force and strings of horses you can, to strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides them that you know not; Allah knows them. And whatsoever you expend in the way of Allah shall be repaid you in full; you will not be wronged. (Quran 8:60)

Then, when the sacred months are drawn away, slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayer, and pay the alms, then let them go their way; Allah is All-forgiving, All-compassionate. (Quran 9:5)

Fight those who believe not in Allah and the Last Day and do not forbid what Allah and His Messenger have forbidden — such men as practise not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book — until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled. (Quran 9:29)

Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph. (Quran 9:111)

O believers, fight the unbelievers who are near to you; and let them find in you a harshness; and know that Allah is with the godfearing. (Quran 9:123)

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if Allah had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will not send their works astray. (Quran 47:4)
