About Crowdshifter

Probably the easiest way to sum up CROWDSHIFTER.COM is to point to the tag line which provides the over-arching theme:

“How to reach, engage & move your audience using Interactive Media”.

I love the word Interactive Media (even more so than Social Media) because it has a broad definition that includes everything I am passionate about: Social Media, Social Networks, New Media, Digital Culture, Data Solutions, Relationships, Technology and Marketing. In fact, Wikipedia defines Interactive Media this way:




This provides not only a wide variety of topics to discuss and explore, but used in a strategic way, provides an arsenal of tools to help businesses and individuals grow, accomplish their goals and increase ROI (monetary & non-monetary)


The 6 objectives that I have for CROWDSHIFTER.COM:

1. To teach individuals and businesses how to use Interactive Media more effectively reach, engage & move their target audience to a desired conclusion (Marketing Focus)

2. To educate both individuals and businesses in Interactive Media, Digital Marketing and Online Relationship Management through blog posts, resources, paid services & community involvement (Education Focus)

3. To enable anyone start, grow or expand a business online (Entrepreneurial Focus)

4. To help people grow, increase in knowledge and be able to apply what they learned (Personal Growth Focus)

5. To communicate Tech  and related industry news with commentary of how it applies to the reader (when appropriate) (Informative Focus)
6. To Provide an environment that helps build stronger relationships, create networking opportunities and collaboration between those who visit the site. (Relationship Focus)

 

A few of the sites features:
  • WordPress based with Buddypress installed to facilitate community involvement through forums & groups
  • Core blog which highlights topics & its contributors
  • Social Networking and sharing tools throughout to help increase site awareness and involvement
  • High engagement features to keep discussions and interactions keep growing

This site is for the beginner as well as the more advanced, hopefully everyone will find something of value that will make their life and career more enjoyable and successful.  Also, since it is a community, my goal is that you engage, help others and make new connections.

This site is being rolled out in 4 Phases:

While I have founded CROWDSHIFTER, I have opened it up to my colleagues and friends in this space to help provide the best content possible. I realize that you cannot be an expert in everything, fortunately I have a lot of great people in my life that together we come pretty close.
