Making connections is so incredibly powerful..
and readily accessible these days to boost your presence in social media.
There are so many ways to reach leaders, brands and celebrities now! They're out there on twitter and Facebook...
There are a lot of powerful people a click away that are soft hearted.
DNA is powerful.
If you don't ask that you don't get.
Social media is a numbers game.
If you persist through the no's you will connect with some powerful "yes's".
You talk to 50 people and get about eight yes's.
It is playing the odds.
Are you willing to play? It's a numbers game! So many people are going to work 40 hours, doing something they don't love and doing it because they think that they have to.
It doesn't have to be like that.
You can live your passion and be doing something that you really love doing every day.
The world has changed..
we live in a world now where the Internet is a platform that allows us to go in and build any business and that we want at no financial cost -just sweat equity.
You cannot underestimate the fact that you have to have a hunger- if you want it bad enough,-the fact that you have a shot is very different than it was years ago.
Now is the time to go out there and "Crush it" in social media! So how do you get started if you want to change your life? It all starts with content.
Content is at an all time high as far as availability.
That's why the cable companies and infomercials are suffering, because information is readily available now.
Content is the honey you have to get out there.
Content is where it starts.
You get a blog.
Start talking about your niche, your passion, and what you want to do in your business around that.
You have to talk to the world.
You have to build your brand if you don't you're in trouble! Old resumes don not work anymore.
Blogs are now the new resume.
You are in play with the world.
What you put out is your world.
The quicker you recognize that the quicker things will start happening for you.
You need a home.
You need a blog.
What hurts people is when they have multiple passions.
But -they don't recognize that that is okay! People are multifaceted.
It is your DNA.
You could have multi-sections in your blog.
So don't be scared to go out and build in more than one platform.
Categorized in channel section your content.
Let you be you.
People will follow you because of the layers of yourself.
Little subtle differences is what makes us unique and interesting and attractive to other people.
Don't just feed America what you think they want- feed them what you are.
You can talk about worms and people will come to your blog! It doesn't have to be the biggest genre, there are a lot of niches out there.
Be the King or Queen of your hyper niche! This is serious opportunity! You don't have to be a brilliant marketer to pull this off or have a lot of money to start up an online company.
Everyone can play the same game here.
It's not important how much everyone makes or where you come from, but what's important is that we all have an equal opportunity.
That was not the case prior to social media marketing.
Prior it was a financial benefit.
If you wanted to open a business you had to have to financial starting point.
Now the playing field is level.
The starting point now is the hustle, the creativity and the work ethic.
People who were chasing cash, and who are not patients are the people who were losing.
If your happiness lies in cash you're going to lose every time.
Do the things that you love.
Take the time to enjoy watching it grow.
Social media is not going to blossom overnight.
But when it blossoms it is a beautiful flower.
Don't get caught up in the wrong things.
Keep it basic and keep it simple.
That way you can keep things in perspective as much as possible.
Everybody is not the same.
It is important to recognize who you are and deal with your own reality.
The important thing is that you get out there and you get started and you learn.
Know your strengths, and always always focus on your strengths.
Always squeeze your orange! Do not under estimate and disrespect DNA.
Don't try to be like anybodyelse.
You are what makes you special.
There are a group of people who will resonate in the drawn to you simply for you.
Being as sociable as you possibly can is so important.
Networking is a business.
You should take advantage of this power.
The people who acknowledge it and take advantage of it have a lot to gain.
People don't realize this.
You're not out there scheming people.
Forming connections, talking and interacting is how you build relationships.
After you build a friendship and build a relationship then people want to do business with you.
You have to be as good of a person as you are capable of being.
You build an actual community providing great value.
Don't worry about giving away too much information for free.
The more you give away and build value in your community a greater community you build and the greater value that is to you.
The more you give the more you get back.
This is the law of reciprocity.
You can not give away enough! Give it away and see where it leads.
It will lead to a dramatically bigger community because people know you are not trying to get something from them.
People will want to thank you and give back to you.
You stay patient, and you wait, and then you monetize.
Once you build a community, people like you, that leads to a opportunity.
Give the value away and keep giving it away and eventually it turns around and comes back to you..
you have to recognize that you have to do the right thing there is no option anymore.
Nothing is hidden.
People will be called out and people will be known for who they are.
You will feel really bad and very embarrassed if you made a couple of bucks the wrong way..
there'll be 1 billion articles about how your a scam artist! You will have to build a business the right way.
You have to put in the hard work.
You have to work,.
And that is how you win -work until you bleed out of your eyeballs! If you want something you have to work really hard to build something tangible that has a real community and means something to your customers- because you actually care about them.
Word of mouth is being activated by twitter and Facebook.
If you do something good people will talk.
If you do something bad people will talk.
You cannot have a true long-term monetization in the business that will last for ever without building equity.
Build something that is real, that has soul to it, and that you are proud of.
You can't outsource everything and do nothing, you won't build a business that way.
No chance! Don't underestimate the value of carrying an effort.
There is no scarcity out there.
Be one of the people who are giving, not have a lack of humanity.
Being exclusive and being rare, does not monetize.
The new age, is give give give.
When you need it, then you will get it.
Yes some of the information you are sharing worth tens of thousands of dollars.
But at the same token, helping someone build a business, change their lives based on information that you've shared with them is beyond any money you can receive back.
Don't deny reality.
There are different ways to monetize.
There is not a one-size-fits-all or one what to do and how to do it to monetize your blog or your business.
Be creative and innovative, this is still the way to make money.
What is the best place to focus your attention and your niche without a lot of money? Forums are massively under rated! Don't go in and spam them.
Go in there and become part of the community.
Leaving comments on blogs that are relevant to you is also something that is under rated.
Go to a blog that is reaching enormous amount of people, leave relevant solid comments on other peoples blogs.
People will see you and jump on your blog from there.
Go to blogs that you know are already successful and become part of that community.
This is huge huge huge huge huge and I recommend this to everybody.
That is a totally free tactic.
You have to understand that the culture has changed and respect you need to change to fit into today's society.
We are living in the thank you economy.
