Capacity – especially to plan and execute effective marketing strategies – is a big challenge for every small business. In this post, I’ll offer 10 suggestions for how small businesses can supercharge their marketing efforts by leveraging social media. For each suggestion, I will discuss a basic strategy – for those who simply want to get their toes wet, as well as an advanced strategy – for those who want to spend a bit more time and go a bit deeper in their social media marketing efforts. These tips are based on my experience leveraging social media marketing for my company, crowdSPRING.
I suggest you begin by outlining clear goals for your social media marketing efforts and figuring out how you’ll measure success. Once you’ve outlined your goals, let’s look at 10 great ways you can begin to leverage social media for your marketing efforts.
Listropolis’ Take:
For many, this list is a 101 on using Social Media to grow a business. We’ve seen it all before, but like all things Mashable, the list is rock-solid. It’s one of those posts you bookmark and read every few months to make sure you’re staying on track.

First things first – I hate when people write posts apologizing for being gone an extended period of time, and they come back and promise to do better. That’s not what this is.
Listropolis was hijacked. Not as bad as MakeUseOf getting hijacked, but still pretty bad. I was able to get the front-end online after about an hour of downtime, but I could not sign in to the backend to explain what was going on.
I think things are back to normal, but now I think I’m going to change the look of the site, so please accept the apology for the past week or so, and the next day or two while I work the new look in.

ProBlogger is hosting a group writing project/contest for writing Killer Titles for your blog posts. I am participating, and submitted 9 Super-Sexy Betas to Crave Right Now. I’m a huge fan of helping people blog better, and this group writing project is all about people coming up with creative “Killer Titles,” reading other bloggers’ work, discovering new sites, making friends, and having a virtual kumbaya around a campfire. ProBlogger will randomly select a participant, and award them with a $2000 identity design (logo) from logo designer David Airey, but they’ve challenged all of the participants to select their favorites, and post their winners.
This is the Day 2 List of Lists. If you missed it, check out 12 Lists with Killer Titles – Day 1

The first group of participants was released today, and as I was reading through the titles (some really great ones), I decided to pull all of the lists and post them here in a four-part series. The cool thing about this project is in teaching people how to write “Killer” titles, using a list is always near the top of the….well, you get the point. It should provide you, the reader, with plenty of content to keep you busy for the week. ProBlogger will be announcing the winner (randomly selected) on Friday, so wish me luck!
Monday’s Lists
Check back tomorrow for the next group of participants, and keep in mind, there’s still plenty of time to participate. If you think you can write a post with a Killer Title, head over to the group writing project page for more details, and to sign up. If you write a list, you’ll be added here!
One last thing….I’d love to know what you think about these titles. Killer? Lame? Tell us what you think in the comments. We always love hearing your opinion.

From Mashable,
There will be times that you have to contribute a post for your company’s blog and you just don’t have one idea that inspires you to start a conversation. We’ve all been there and that’s why we’ve created this resource with more than 40 topics for corporate bloggers to help provide that much need inspiration:

So you’re cruising through life, carefree, sipping a Coke, and then I slam this title on your screen. Sorry to break it to you, but you’re going to die.
I know you spend most of your time denying this fact. You’ve got your new red convertible, you’ve added ten friends on MySpace in the past week, and you get all the jokes about Smallville. But someday, you’re going to drop like a rock and your soul is going to pass its time somewhere else.
Before that happens, think about your blog, and how completely unsatisfying it would be if you hadn’t written these 5 world-changing posts:

From ProBlogger:
1. Create link clusters within your blog
A link cluster is a group of links that you can point at a post or page to improve its search engine ranking. Let’s say you have a post that’s ranked for ’stupid business ideas’. Edit 10 of your other posts to create links (using ’stupid business ideas’ as the anchor text) to the ’stupid business ideas’ post and you will surely move up in Google for that keyword. This process can be implemented in about 10 minutes and can be used for any keyword your site ranks for or is trying to rank for.
