If your wife specializes in social media marketing…well, you are a lucky guy for:

1. All the shelves in your house are completely stuffed with print and carefully leather-bound Wikipedia volumes.
2. Your children’s names are Ajax and Pandora, your dog’s name is Flickr and personally you are tenderly called Diggy.
3. Your friends feel panic terror of visiting you because, on greeting, your wife immediately seizes them and makes vote for Digg-news, comment posts and fill out social media profiles.
4. One of the walls in your apartment is amorously decorated with the framed picture of Gary Vaynerchuk.
5. When reading morning newspapers your wife rates worthy news as “+1 digg”.
6. The dinner is allowed only after you have added comments to all the latest posts in your wife’s blog as well as in the blogs of her numerous friends.
7. All your wages is spent on startups. And each time you invest into “the brain waves and million dollar ideas”.
8. In the evenings the whole family watches YouTube, and Flickr is used instead of your family album.
9. You have moved from your separate apartment to a hostel room exclusively for the sake of strengthening social bonds.
10. And, finally, your own bedroom is equipped with live streaming webcams to make some hot and spicy content available for public.

Greetings to all! My name is Damir Khalilov.

Welcome to my blog devoted to the whole range of social media marketing related issues, including:

1. SMM techniques;
2. Community management;
3. Challenging trends analysis;
4. SMM campaigns analysis (carried out by me and my colleagues);
5. Efficient blogging techniques.

At some point I realized that I have got something to share with social media marketing specialists. And then I decided to start this blog.

The major task of this blog is to create a truly useful resource. I pursuit the objective of publishing the posts allowing readers to immediately use the information they read in their practical work. This blog is neither a manifest nor a call to action, but a step-by-step guide for marketing specialists.

This blog is intended for a broad audience, including SMM, marketing and PR specialists as well as bloggers and managers of different levels. In a word, it may be useful for all the people interested in social media promotion issues.

Despite the fact that the blog is devoted to Web 2.0 technology, I am not going to write about social media news as I find no sense in competing with Mashable and ReadWriteWeb.

I have been working in the sphere of Internet marketing for more than eight years and everything I write about in my blog is based on my personal expertise and my colleagues’ experience in executing web marketing campaigns.

I am CEO of Green PR marketing agency. In far back 2006 we were the first agency in Russia which started providing professional services on social media promotion. Today we cooperate with first-rate global brands, financial structures, movie factories and Internet-based companies.

I also provide private consulting services for brand representatives, deliver training services and hold training workshops.

I will gladly answer all SMM-related questions. You can choose the most appropriate way of contacting me: through comments, e-mail, Skype, Facebook or Twitter. I am always willing to address your questions.
