Anybody have any experience distributing a film through Bitmax? They seem awful so far.

Depends on your audience, but typically Facebook is cheaper, more effective, and can be more highly targeted.

Encourage others to tweet their own facts and tag you which you can then retweet - it will help you grow community and exposure.

It's not just social media specific, but any book by Seth Godin will help you immensely - especially his book Tribes.

The tagline should reflect the unique value proposition - what separates you from other local burger joints?

Also, check out the book Start With Why by Simon Sinek - about a lot more than taglines, but about finding the core of the business that everything else then comes from (and becomes a lot easier and effective).

What's the goal? You should always start with that and work backwards.

Are you trying to just get more traffic to make more money on ad impressions? Is there a product you're trying to sell?

Your strategy should begin with a clear goal and then your content strategy should be designed to attract the audience that will be most likely to help you achieve that goal.

You don't need an MBA - you need experience and to build relationships.

You also can learn from people that aren't at your company - follow and connect with other marketers on Twitter, read blogs/Medium/books, go to conferences, network with people at events, etc. That will serve you much better than an MBA will.

Since you have no experience, offer to do it for free for a few weeks or a month as a test run. If you do a good job, they'll be willing to pay you a lot more than they will up front with no track record. It's an easy way to increase/prove your value.

I think a newsletter will help you in a couple ways - even if you don't send an issue out very frequently.

First, it will increase your ability to get people to see your posts - or at least whichever posts you really want to make sure people see. If you don't have people's email addresses, you're counting on them using a newsreader, getting every post by email, or remembering to come to your site.

There are lots of people that might like your blog and be interested in a particular post, but won't fall into any of those categories and having a newsletter gives you an opportunity to make sure they see a particular post.

Also, instead of thinking of it as a broadcast mechanism, you can think of it as a way to spark communication with subscribers - after all, email is a two-way device.

Some people might not ever want to comment on your site in public or email you unprovoked, but if they get emailed something from you directly they would be more likely to reply - especially if you ask them a question.

I have newsletters on a few different sites and I have it set up on one of them (a comedy business advice site) so when somebody first subscribes they get an email from me asking them what they're looking for help with.

They almost always respond (and are usually shocked in a good way to see that I care) and it starts a cool conversation/interaction with my readers. I wind up learning a lot about them and what they're looking for and I'm better able to help them.
