The origins of chiropractics?
Hello Guerilleros! So much for the consistency I promised last week, huh? But here we are again today! And today, instead of giving you a specific tip, I am bringing you a rather unique resource I found while searching for some ideas for one of my clients. A whole website devoted to using social media, specifically for chiropractors. Read More…
I am a writer by trade.
Hello Guerilleros. I am Guerilla Roberto. As you are probably aware, the site hasn’t been updated much lately. Unfortunately for us, but fortunate for him, our Guerilla Chefe has been overwhelmed lately with new projects that are sucking up all of his time.
As a result of this social media frenzy, I have been asked to step in and take over for awhile. And for my first post, I will just introduce myself. Next week we will serve up a new tip or trick from the mouth of the Guerilla Chefe himself.
I am not exactly a social media guru, I am a writer. Hence I will now be writing this blog. As a friend and co-worker of the Guerilla Chefe, I have unwittingly been involved in the chaos that is social media marketing. So far, it has been very good to me, and I hope to share some of the things I have learned along the way. I hope you all enjoy my style as much as you do our Guerilla Chefe.
And while I don’t know what the future holds, I do know the revolution hasn’t ended. In fact, we’re just entering a new phase. From now on, this site will be updated every week at least once. That’s right, we’re bringing some consistency to the site (and some better grammar!)
And for my final parting shot, how many of you can say Guerilleros out loud, with the correct pronunciation? That’s a tongue twister!
pinpoint your social media marketing to your local audience
It’s with an immense pleasure that I invite all of you guerilleros and guerilleras to join me in a great run-through of Social Media Marketing strategies geared for local businesses.
I’ll be at a BlogTalkRadio show on Thursday afternoon with Marnie Swedberg and you’re in for a real treat.
Here are the details:
When: Thursday 02/25
Time: 4:00pm
Call-in #: (646) 727-2510
Address:
As you’re very much aware, Social Media has no borders or boundaries, and despite its wonderful benefits, connecting with your neighbors online has always been somewhat of a challenge.
Mentor Marnie
Marnie Swedberg is a community leader, mom, brick & mortar and online entrepreneur that hosts a popular radio show on BlogTalkRadio. She’s the utmost definition of a successful Guerillera.
However, even a guerillera such as Marnie has her issues dealing with a local audience – she owns a restaurant and wants to reach her community via Social Media.
Based on that, here’s what you’ll be learning at the interview:

See you there!
Dell Outlet Twitter Campaign Duplicable???
Guerilleros, my sincere apologies for completely abandoning this community for almost 3 months. Hopefully you were able to survive without my guerilla tips 😉
In fact, from the Feedburner notifications I’ve been receiving, traffic to the SMGuerilla was not badly damaged. So let’s address that right now.
No, of course not – just like Recyclables are still trash, despite their higher value. But a wise man once said that there are no original ideas, so I’m putting my recycled Guerilla strategy to the test.
I’m sure you heard about the impressive success that @DellOutlet generated: over $2 million in sales from Twitter alone.
Great, huh?
Can the same be done for an Online Fashion Boutique?
I’ve created an @Outlet account for them and fired up all of the inventory they had put aside for “liquidation”.
The next step was to create a special coupon (in this case, tweet10) to serve two purposes:
1 – Tracking (of course, Analytics helps too)
2 – Exclusivity (only followers have access to these great deals).
Here’s where things go a little South:
The company prefers their sales staff focused on “more important things than Twitter”.
Can Twitter create revenue?
Is Twitter A New Sales Platform?
The real reason behind Dell’s success was that they had a real person tweeting, interacting, and actually performing extensive customer service work. They shifted the focus off Dell and started retweeting quotes, participating on #followfriday, and answering @replies.
But is it the real reason? Or was Dell simply the 1st big corporation to try such strategy and benefit off of novelty?
Here’s where my guerilla suspicions come from:
While the sales staff is focused on more important stuff, and since they’ve paid me for all the work upfront, I decided to run without them.
Here are the stats after 10 days of campaign:
Considering their usual traffic source is PPC, 114 visits would cost $45.6 (at a cheap $.40 bid).
So even if the campaign turns out less than ideal, they’re at least looking at a cheaper traffic source.
What do you think it’s going to happen to this automated Twitter sales process?

Guerilleros, you’re looking at a WordPress blog. A darn good one on my opinion.
But there are some guerilleros that still use blogspot Blogger blogs to carry their battles.
I honestly recommend anybody that is serious about their guerilla to switch to WordPress – it’s just the most intelligent weapon on your online arsenal.
So today I’m going to show you how to import your Blogger posts and pages into a new wordpress blog.
Like this – yourblogname.com/wp-admin
Under Tools, click on Import
Import Blogger content to WordPress
Authorize wordpress to access your blogger content
Click on Grant Access to let WordPress pull your blogspot info
Final stage: click on import
And that’s it!
WordPress, the awesome tool, converts your entire Blogger content into posts on their platform. So your brand new domain is not so brand new anymore – you’ve got everything back.
Now, if all you want is to have your blogger hosted on your own domain , read this other quick tutorial.
And, if you need a cheap and reliable wordpress hosting, check this out. I’ve got a special PENNY coupon for you.
The Synnd software is reaching well over 600 members on the community
Guerilleros, I will make this quick and painless…
1. Sorry about the lack of content lately.
I’ve been swamped and having a hard time to sit down, look at data and write cool posts like the one about social media silos or social community building.
But I am working on it. That’s why I’ve been posting about Jeff Johnson’s free stuff – I figured I’d at least point you in the direction of a high-quality content provider.
2. My favorite social media marketing software is growing!
The Synnd software has now well over 600 members, which is huge for our syndication campaigns.
Think about: 600 people that get 20 credits a day free = 12000 credits going out daily (each credit means one bookmark, digg or Retweet). It’s a tremendous force to be reckoned with, specially when it can reach the first page of Digg for pretty much any category.
Yes – with 20 votes within 24 hours, your content can easily be featured on Digg or Reddit’s upcoming page – TONS of people hang out there. It’s huge traffic, free, coming straight to your site and taking action on your content!
I tould I’d make this quick, so here it goes:
Sign up for Synnd now, enjoy the free trial, and I will help you with anything during your setup. Personally!
This tutorial will cover really basic aspects of writing a wordpress blog post.
It shows you how to log in, add text, images, and embed a video from youtube within the body of your post.
It also explains a little about the photo gallery feature and how to manage pictures once they’re loaded into the WP interface.
Hope this helps your guerilla a bit 😉
See you soon!

Guerilleros, I will make this short and to the point – the revolutionary social media marketing software that Charles Heflin has been developing for the past 2 years is now offering a never-before-seen 14 day trial for a $1.
This is a 24 hours deal – so dont miss it!
I’ve been talking about the importance of content syndication in social media for a while now and you should know that Synnd takes it to a completely new level.
Charles said that there are over 600 members using Synnd right now, and that the new posts can rack up to 30 DIGGS in ONE day – that pretty much guarantees a front page appearance on the Upcoming Digg page.
That’s by far the most effective way to gain viral exposure.
