Here are the questions:
1. Share with us some specific, successful track record of using social media to bolster a business (sales, etc.)
2. What was your exact role in the social media initiatives (developing the site? Plan and strategy? Managing blogs?)
3. How would you build and manage a social media “business” for X?
4. What would you do in the first 30 days? 60 days? 1 year?
5. What tools you have used?
6. Experience with developing a marketing plan and a strategy for an organization?
7. An example of a branded online social community you have built
8. Celebrity blogger of brand evangelist you have identified
9. Any smart monitoring tools you have used for action oriented insights


I would also like to note that these answers would have been completely different a year ago and will be completely different a year from now.

Oxford Greens Golf Course

Aug 4, 2010   //   by BakerMedia   //   Blog, Our Work  //  No Comments

#1-4 in top map area from being non-existent 3 weeks ago.
on the map for all of these as of today in http://google.com search

  • ct golf courses public
  • connecticut golf courses public
  • public golf courses connecticut
  • connecticut public golf courses
  • ct public golf
  • public golf in ct
  • public golf courses in ct
  • (and every other combo involving CT, Connecticut, Public, Golf)



Oxford Greens now has 384 total search terms and through various levels of SEO and Google app integration, and http://www.OxfordGreens.com is rising quickly! This is in addition from a brand new website built on a custom WordPress installation and theme, some quick and effective video inserts, facebook and twitter integration, and staff training.

I have spent a lot of time researching the age old question business owners ask FIRST: “How do I get better placement in Google”

Does your business need help getting noticed? Does your staff need training?

My Social Media recipe June 2010, take notes!

Jun 29, 2010   //   by BakerMedia   //   Blog  //  No Comments
Working on the redesign of Oxford Greens Golf Course I realized that “web design” has turned into combining tons of existing services & applications with 5-10% of the total time on actual design. I can’t detail how they are all connected but here is my current recipe for social media and web site integration, and getting your lost web presence noticed.

This recipe is in full swing @ http://www.nickdip.com
