Traditional social marketing means you go out and ‘get’ people on Facebook (or whatever network) to do something. You send them a message, you invite them to a group, etc. They outright accept, reject or ignore the message. It’s a classic stimulus/response model.

  1. I was recently asked:

    How does the person displaying the ad in their profile get paid?

    Answer:
    Give them a coupon code in the URL that gives the friend an incentive and gives the person displaying the ad an incentive.

    For example, underneath the ad, there would be the text:

    Here is an ad I did for X company. They’re giving me a coupon for my friends. Click the link to get $5.00 off.
