It’s about that time again…time for #SMX East! This year, we’re looking forward to not only speaking at and attending the show, we’re introducing a new workshop: Social Content Distribution for SEO: The New Link Building. Past attendees of our workshop can attest to the tactical takeaways and deep knowledge of social and social media advertising shared during our short time together, but this workshop is deeper. Way deeper. Focusing on practical execution of content amplification, we’re looking forward to delivering intensive training on paid organic social distribution as an important new methodology for amplifying content.
A day before the main SMX conference begins, workshop attendees will get the chance to pick AIMCLEAR Founder & Evangelist, Marty Weintraub‘s, brain for a full-day on Monday, September 30. Social Media genius Merry Morud and AIMCLEAR‘s storied Associate Creative Director, Annalise Kaylor will also dish amazing tactics with Marty. Here’s an overview of what to expect. 
Learn to mash up paid and organic tactics to distribute content across social platforms in order to acquire:
- Targeted & scalable social psychographic reach and customer traffic to content that converts in an attribution model. We want to be able to say that “to touch this content means to come back and convert.” We don’t just want traffic. We want awesome, focused, real user traffic.
- Real links from sites with good domain authority.
- Authentic social signals from real users with actual authority (Required for the links to matter as much)
- Friendship, shares, follows, likes and other social subscription and future friend-of-friend marketing.
- Insulation of our sites from harsh search engine algorithm updates (The big goal)
- Amplification of PR distribution to journalists, bloggers, and a myriad of focused media-role users (To help GET the links, buzz, traffic, etc. in the first place)
And much, much more! For those interested in attending, there is still time to register.
AIMCLEAR will be well-represneted at the main SMX conference, starting the day after our workshop. Here’s our crew’s speaking schedule. Be there or read about it somewhere else.
