Community Media Service
Do you target a specific community as your audiences or clients? Our Community Media Service is perfect for you to grow and connect with your audiences.
Our forte` or specific expertise are magazine publishing and WordPress-based news portal management. Besides helping you publish your own magazine or community newspaper, we can build and maintain a comprehensive community portal that keeps your target readers abreast of all the developments pertaining to your niche or community. We can keep your portal updated with daily news, articles, features, photo galleries, and other editorial contents. We can also keep the whole portal interesting and informative through upcoming events, photo galleries, weekly polls, weekly newspapers, business directory, etc., to get — and then hold — the attention of your portal’s targeted audiences.
So if you are a community organisation catering to a specific group of people, we will cover your target community through relevant news, interviews, articles, features, forum, community-specific chat rooms, weekly polls, etc. All this will not only improve your search engine rankings and make you way more noticeable on the web than you might be now, it will also make you stand out as the community leader.
For instance, here is just one of the three community news portals (for three separate clients) meant for the Indian people in Australia, that we manage 24×7, writing news and articles, updating contents daily, keeping hackers away, creating regular backups, handling server issues, and making sure the portal is up and running all the time: indianabroad.news

7. Email Marketing and Promotions
- We target specific community or group of people as per your business’s requirements. Just to take one example, there are around 13,000 emails of Brisbane Indians in our database, and this is a real number. Unlike us, other firms you go to for email marketing will always give you an inflated number because they normally don’t have targeted email accounts, like this, of only the Indians in Brisbane. Likewise, we have other targeted email databases as well.
- Emails will be regularly sent to the database every fortnight or month (depending upon the publishing frequency of your magazine)
- You can choose your own email marketing software, and we will be comfortable using that, but we use MailChimp or Zoho for most of our clients.
-
8. Social Media Management

- Dedicated completely to your publication’s website
- 8 hours per day, 6 days a week, he will execute the SEO/SMO/digital marketing policies, strategies, and daily procedures for the whole day continuously
- On-page and off-page optimisation; keywords research and implementation; and YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and any other social media accounts will be maintained and updated by this staff member
