Restaurant Marketing Coach Creates Posterous Blog for Salty's
Not much of a headline if you ask me. Restaurant Marketing Coach certainly does not pop my name on the Google #1. You will find RestaurantWorx though and for good reason.
This step is one of the simplest of them all. Send an email to Posterous from your email address and this automatically sets up a blog (as long as you do not have a Posterous blog set up already).
This may be hard to grasp so I will repeat it a little louder.
If blogging is part of your restaurant marketing plan (and why wouldn't it be?) you can create a blog on Posterous by simply sending an email to post@posterous.com.
Once you have done that, you are now a blogger. Posterous will send you an email to confirm they received your first post.
This is what I did early this morning for Salty's Seafood Restaurant in South Seattle (Redondo Beach). Since I already have multiple Posterous blogs, I simply added this one to the others. It will be interesting to see if adding to an existing account makes a difference.
The Posterous account is already set up to shoot every blog post to Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Flickr, Youtube, Viddler, and many more.
For the moment, I will use Posterous blog. With an email I will send a blog post, audio, video, photos to Posterous which will also be distributed automatically to the other social media sites of choice.
Takeaway:
Posterous. Easy set up. Set up social media accounts and tell Posterous to forward blogs to them automatically. (I have done this already.)
Note:
New blogs (which this is) takes time to get "noticed" by Google. No worries. It is still connected to the social media which is the primary purpose. Have a tool to send a message to one place and by doing so, create a restaurant marketing message on a larger scale.
By the way, did I mention that this is free?
