Images and videos are king in social media.
What if…
+Each of your images had a specific call to action.
+Each of your images were interactive.
+Each of your images did more for you than just giving someone something interesting to look at?
It’s called ThingLink. And it’s free.
We made the image below as an example. Hover your pointer over it to see several icons appear.
Each of these icons is clickable and takes you to specific sites and calls to action.
We think it’s brilliant. Check it out.
GettingSmart published this article replete with numerous suggestions educators could use ThingLink. We felt the most notable was to showcase the work of exemplary student achievements or performance by sending out a simple picture with accolades in ThingLink format.
Here is an example:
ThingLink for Marketers
Marketers (read: salespeople, content creators and curators, and all creative types) will love that each image now creates an immediate call to action.
+Want to convert a casual web-surfer to a customer? Direct them to your landing page.
+Want to create Follow/Like buttons all all your logos? Put a link on all your logos.
+Want that viral meme to do something for your business other than just go viral? Use ThingLink.
The uses are as endless as your creativity. We love it.
ThingLink for Bloggers, Bands, and Beauties
Bloggers: Even if you have an existing blog that you’ve been adding content to for months or years, the ThingLink plugin will help you convert all your images that aren’t working for you to do just that: to start working for you.
Bands: Have ticket stubs with a QR code directing your fans to your ThingLink photo on my site. Make a few info links on your photo to Spotify, iTunes, or YouTube!
Beauties: If you’re a photographer or a model, you should be using this tool. We’ve found nothing better on the market that takes the visual and makes it more interactive than ThingLink.
If you try ThingLink, let us know what you thing…think.
