9 ways to use Hubspot’s free marketing charts & graphs

Hubspot's 100 Awesome marketing stats, charts and graphs If you want  to learn more about marketing, social media, search engine optimization and blogging, you’ll love Hubspot’s newest freebie: a collection of 100 Awesome Marketing Stats, Charts & Graphs.

It’s based on original research and data from a variety of sources, including analysis of Hubspot’s 4,500 business customers, surveys with hundreds of small and medium-sized businesses, and dozens of well-respected publications like MarketingSherpa, eMarketer, Pew Research and McKinsey.

You can click through the slide show presentation at their website, or download the PDF file for your own use. 

You’ll find stats, graphs and charts on inbound vs. outbound marketing, SEO, social media, blogging, Facebook and Twitter. 

Here are a few examples:

google search statistics
 Link-sharing among blog readers peaks around 7 am 
Twitter users statistics

 Here are nine ways Publicity Hounds can use this presentation:

  • To re-evaluate your own marketing strategies and decide if you’re spending money and other resources in the most effective marketing channels.
       
  • Social media and marketing consultants can use the stats when meeting with prospective clients.
       
  • Speakers, include them in your handouts and Power Point slides.
       
  • Authors, use the stats in books you’re writing about these topics. (I asked Hubspot if this OK, and they said yes, as long as you attribute the info to them.)
       
  • Share the slideshow on Twitter and Facebook and in your LinkedIn groups. (See advanced strategies for writing a killer LinkedIn profile, cashing in on groups and using LinkedIn Company Pages as a giant, free billboard.
       
  • Blog about the freebie, like I am here.
      
  • Write a blog post elaborating on just one of the stats, graphs or charts, and feature the slide.
        
  • Use the stats or graphics in a video on a marketing or SEO topic.
       
  • Include the stats in a press release. (Take my free email course on 89 Ways to Write Powerful Press Releases.)

Use LinkedIn to attract more fans on Twitter, Facebook

Little boy in a black jacket and hat talking into a black megaphone One of my goals this year is to do a better job cross-promoting from my website and blog to my social media profiles, and letting people know all the various places where they can find my tips.

I use LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook, almost exclusively for business. But not everyone likes those three sites. Some are on one but not the others. Some who are on all three aren’t aware that I am, too.

I link from the right side of my website  to my various social media accounts. I link from my Google profile.

I experimented with something this week that started with a wild idea on how I can use my LinkedIn account to attract more followers to my Twitter feed and Facebook fan page.

The first day I tried it, it worked like a charm.  I saw a nice little bump in the number of people who are now following me on both of those sites and got there from LinkedIn.

It Takes Just 10 Seconds

Here’s the best part.  I’ve figured out a way to make sure this tactic doesn’t take more than about 10 seconds of my time whenever I decide to use it.

I’m not spamming. I’m not annoying people who see me use it. In fact, my LinkedIn connections have thanked me over and over again.

I ran it by Wayne Breitbarth and he loved it!

Wayne, a LinkedIn expert, will be my guest expert during our webinar on Thursday, March 3, on Your LinkedIn Power Formula: How to Make Killer Contacts, Pull Crowds to Events, be a Star in Your Industry & Track Down Leads like a Bloodhound.  If you can’t make it because the time is inconvenient, sign up anyway because we’re recording it, and I’ll be sending the video replay link to everyone who registers.

Wayne will be sharing dozens of tips on everything from how to use LinkedIn’s advanced search feature to the power of LinkedIn groups. I’ll explain in detail my new discovery and show you how to do the same things to generate lots of followers on Twitter and Facebook.

Register here.

See you on Thursday’s call.
