Eight Rules For Social Media Marketing

Have you posted links on Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks and wondered why you never get a response? Do you find your friend requests ignored or have you noticed that you’ve been removed from lists or groups?  Ever stopped to ask yourself why?

Are those with a huge followings and lots of  social validation just lucky? Or have they done certain things to attract and keep their following?  Believe it or not, these marketers are doing things right.  If you do social media marketing the right way, you will attract a large following, get a ton of leads and can massively grow your business almost on autopilot.  So what are they doing right?

Here are the top 8 rules for social media marketing.

RULE 1:  Never promote your business on the first contact. That’s like jumping into bed with them before you ever get to know them.  Find something in common and build upon that.  Get to know them and ask about their  business first.  Just be a friend without an agenda.  Find out how you can help them.

RULE 2:  Never send random or generic invitations to people to join your list or network.  When you invite someone to connect, you should always include a message, not a link. Compliment them on a post or a training they shared. Find a common interest you both have.  Mention another friend or connection you both have in common. Give them a reason to connect with you.

RULE 3:  Once you have made some connections and contacts, don’t start bombarding them with messages about your business.  You will be ‘unfriended’ in no time. Instead, give them a reason to stay on as a friend by offering them something of value . . . (see rule #4.)

RULE 4:  Always look for ways to add value to your contacts through education, not sales. Share with them a motivational quote or a link to a relevant article or blog post.  Offer free trainings that can be shared without an agenda. Don’t always try to be pitching them on your business or selling them the next big thing.  Always be adding value to the relationship.  (see rule #8.)

RULE 5:  Prepare your content and information outside of your social networks.  Use the social networks to draw them to your blog, your videos, your website or to the articles you have written.  Let your content do the selling for you, rather than you trying to sell them on what you have to offer.

RULE 6: Always get permission from your friend before you send them information about your products, services  or your business. Timing is everything.  Make sure it is right.  They are more likely to take a look at what you are offering if you’ve developed a relationship of trust first, and then they will be open to receiving what you have to offer,  if you have prepared them properly. (Remember rule #3?”)

RULE 7: Never do a shameless plug for your product or business on someone’s content, comment or material.  This is just plain rude and inconsiderate.  Find a way to add value to the conversation, not take away from it by shamelessly promoting your product or service.  Add value, consistently and often.  This will help build trust and rapport, and people will begin to recognize you as a valued contributor.

RULE 8:  Master the  95/5 give-to-take ratio, meaning you are giving away something of value 95% of the time.  Promote your products and services or business the other 5% of the time.  If you give more than you take, you’ll sell more when you make your offers.

Well, that’s  what I consider to be the top 8 rules for social media marketing.  I am sure there are others, but if you were just to follow these eight simple rules, you would be ahead of 95% of the other marketers out there who are doing it all wrong.

By following these 8 simple rules for social media marketing, you will attract a huge following, sponsor more people into your business and sell a ton more products and services than those who don’t. Guaranteed!

Leadership Through The Eyes Of A 10-yr Old

 

My son is competitive.  (I think he gets that from his Dad. :) An essay contest was recently announced at his elementary school and he decided he wanted to enter it.  It required writing an essay on leadership.  The prize?  He would personally get to read it in front of the whole school and then it would later be published in the yearbook along with his picture.  He was excited about the prospect. He decided to enter.

I had an opportunity to review his essay before he turned it in today, and needless to say, I was impressed!  Not that there was any bias on my part, but I truly believe he nailed the core behaviors of any good leadership in his short essay.  I am reprinting it here (with his persmission, of course), as it was written, in its entirety.

Being A Good Leader

by Mason Scoresby

What it means to be a good leader is that you are honest.  Honesty means that you will always tell the truth and that people can trust you, and that they know you will do what you say you will do.  And they know you will help them, and they will be fair.

The second thing that I think that is important in a leader is that people are willing to learn from their mistakes, so they can be a better leader by doing their best.

The third thing that a good leader does is give service to others.  Ways that you can serve are by being a good friend, and a good example.  You can help by making others feel good about themselves.  You can also have a smile.

To be a good leader you must be organized, and have a plan of what you want to do to make your organization a better place.  You can include others to help you.

Leaders work hard and have goals.  If you have a goal then when you include others or your friends, everyone gets to have a chance to participate and have fun together.  Everyone will feel happy.

Good leaders have to understand that everyone is different and be respectful of others and their opinions.  They must listen.

A good leader obeys the rules and helps others to follow the rules too.  Sometimes leaders make the rules too.

These are the things that you might see in a good leader, and I hope it helps for you to become a good leader.

************************************************************************************************************************

How do kids get so smart?  I think this is some great leadership advice.  Simple things we all can do to become a better friend and leader.

Be honest so people can trust you.  Do what you say you will do.  Be fair.  Learn from your mistakes.  Do your best.  Serve others.  Make others feel good about themselves.  Smile.  Be organized.  Have a plan.  Include others.  Have goals.  Include others in your goals.  Give everyone a chance to participate.  Have fun together.  Be happy.  Respect others.  Listen.  Obey the rules, help others follow the rules and make the rules when needed.  These truly are the things that make a great leader.

To Change Or Not To Change? That Is The Question.

Recently I read the book, “Who Moved My Cheese” by Spencer Johnson and I want to share some mind-changing  principles I learned about change and changing. I highly recommend it to anyone who is having a difficult time dealing with change in their work or in their life, as it teach some simple philosophies and easy strategies to manage and deal with change in your life.

Change  is difficult for most people.  They like what they have grown accustomed to and stick with what is “comfortable.”  They know when they are being stretched beyond the limits of our “comfort zone” and they don’t like or want to go there.  Some are pushed outside of their comfort zones by other people or circumstances, while there are others purposefully push themselves outside of their own comfort zone to grow and develop personally.

Most people are not sophisticated enough to personally plan and prepare for change, and they become stuck when their world around them is turned upside down and is no longer the same. They have not prepared for it and don’t know how to handle it when it comes.  They become one of the four characters in “Who Moved My Cheese?”  The two mice, Sniff and Scurry, sniff out change and scurry to move with it, while Hem and Haw, the two little people in the story, take ownership of the “cheese” and when it is lost or gone, they become lost too . . . until they decide to change.

The “cheese” is the story is anything or worth or value to an individual, and it is different for each one.  For some it may be good health and well-being, for others it may be material possessions, lots of money or other status items. The cheese also might be your position, title or status.  What do you do when it becomes lost?  Lessons from “Who Moved My Cheese?” may have the answer. Here are a few of my favorites.

You won’t really understand these lessons until you have read the book, but here they are anyway.

The quicker you let go of old cheese, the sooner you find new cheese.  New cheese if often better.

When the cheese moves, you either need to move with the cheese or find new cheese.  Do not stay where there is no cheese.

It is safer to search the maze than remain in a cheeseless situation. 

When you move beyond your fear, you feel free.

When you change what you believe, you change what you do.

The fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly–,
then you can let go and quickly move on.

And finally, NOTHING GETS BETTER UNTIL YOU CHANGE.

What must you change, you may ask?

It may be a belief about someone or something.  It may be something you need to be doing but are not; or something you are doing but shouldn’t be.  It may be as simple as having an attitude adjustment or changing a simple action.  When you take time to think about, everyone can come up with something they really need to change.  The philosophies in “Who Moved My Cheese?” will help you do it.  It is a good short read and I recommend it to anyone who feels stuck and needs a change.

ONE 24: An Easy Way To Make Money Online

What Is One 24?

Recently, I was invited to watch a series of videos introducing a fairly new company called ONE 24.  I was not really in the market for a new “business opportunity” at the time, but reluctantly agreed to watch the video series anyway as a favor to my friend.  And I am so glad I did! It was well worth the few minutes it took to watch the videos.

Although I had seen and tried similar products in the past, I have never seen anything work as well as the ONE 24. It is truly a one-of-a-kind revolutionary concept that multiplies your time and money and provides a clear path to financial retirement within the next 24 months simply by introducing ONE person a month to the company.

I have my own personal opinion about ONE 24, but I would like you to draw your own conclusion. I invite you to discover what ONE 24 has to offer. It is not for everyone, but for the right person it is everything they have been looking for. Is it right for you? I don’t know. You will have to determine for yourself by clicking the link below:

http://www.whatisone24online.com

If you are one who likes to keep your options open, has a few extra hours each week to invite others to a website…and…if you don’t like attending meetings, hate selling products to family and friends, and can’t afford to make a huge investment, the ONE 24 may be right for you.

So, the only decision you have to make right now is if you are going to watch the videos or not.  That’s it. Everything will be presented to you in a logical order for you to make an intelligent decision about your next step.  If you like what you see, simply add yourself to my waiting list.  I will let you know when the next ticket becomes available. If not, that’s fine too, but . . .

. . . if you have struggled for success in the past and have not found it; if you have tried other opportunities and failed; if you would like to earn an extra income online working from home, but haven’t quite made it work yet. . . why not check out ONE 24?  You have nothing to lose except a few minutes of your time. Go watch the videos now.  You will be glad you did.

J. Paul Getty’s Eight Rules For Acquiring Great Wealth

[Editor's Note: Most of this post was from a one page handout I received many years ago without an author's name attached to it. I would like to give credit where credit is due, but never did discover the original author; however, I did find many of the ideas shared in this post in his book, "How To Be Rich" by J. Paul Getty]

The late J. Paul Getty was a  oil baron billionaire who founded and controlled Getty Oil Company and two hundred other related companies. Before his death, he revealed his secret formula of acquiring great wealth.

Getty’s rules for accumulating great wealth are simple and to the point. Mr. Getty was the world’s richest man, so his rules have a ring of authenticity about them, and are still as true today as they were for Getty in his time.

As you will find them put in simple terms, don’t brush them off as mere generalities.  Don’t make this mistake.  These are real “hard-nosed” truths for success.

There is no romance or so called secret of success here, no easy road to riches or business success, but some rules that will build wealth when applied with intelligent effort.

RULE #1: To aquire wealth today, you must be in your own business.

You may think that the corporate executive with his $100,000 a year income is far better off than the guy running a small business, but the executive will be hard pressed to double his income, and taxes will eat up most of that.

The small business person has unlimited opportunity to expand his business and his income.  He has many tax advantages, too.  The long and short of it is this– the guy with the peanut stand has more long-range opportunity for wealth than the highly paid executive working for someone else.

RULE #2:  You must have a working knowledge of the business when you start it, and continue to increase your knowledge of it as you go along.

Knowledge is self-explanatory.  You’ve got to know what you are doing, and keep up with the exploding technology of today as it affects your enterprise.

RULE #3:  You must save money in your personal life and in your business venture as well.

The art of saving money is directly connected with personal discipline.  Do you have enough will power to deny yourself immediate gradifications in order to save the money for future expansion, as opposed to current increases in income or gambling on the quick buck?  It is imperative that you pay yourself first!

RULE #4:  You must take risks, both with your own money and with borrowed money.

Risk-taking is essential to business growth.  The ability to lay on the line years of saved capital, or the entire future of your business on borrowed captial is going to be needed time and time again in order to gain wealth.  The rish has to be backed by good judgment, relevant experience and total commitment.

RULE #5:  You must not only learn to live with tension but seek it out.

Seek out tension.  Here lies the real secret of men of great wealth.  They like the game, its perils and turmoil.  They like to say that “money is the only way to keep score on the wins and the losses.”  So it must be for you.  The game filled with tensions and challenges must be what you want.

RULE #6:  Build wealth as a by-product of your business success. If wealth is your only object in business, you will probably fail.

Again, your wealth will come as a by-product of the game.  If you win, the money will be there.

RULE #7:  Patience.  This is the greatest business asset of all.

Patience.  This the wilingess to wait for the proper time to make your moves, to let the business grow naturally without pressing your luck.  It is the greatest asset a risk-taker has.

RULE #8:  Diversify at the top.

When you have it made, then take all your eggs out of one basket and move into other things, bigger and better games.   Pyramid your investments, and you can decide how high you want to go.

There they are, These are the rules of acquiring wealth as laid down by a billionaiare, a man who had more money than any other man on earth!
