The Power of Online Connections When You Take Them Offline, Meeting Kary Rogney in Person

Taking our online line connections offline is one of the most powerful things we can do with our online marketing and most important in our building of relationships that can last a life time. What is the purpose of online marketing? For some is to sell products, affiliate programs, building our network marketing businesses however at the end of the day the lasting opportunities are the relationships we build, the relationship we create over time.

I had the pleasure to meet Kary Rogney, an extraordinary blogger, social media and internet marketer. Kary is so much more than all that. He is intelligent, intuitive and sensitive. In his offline world he is a passionate first grade teacher, fabulous husband and dad to two beautiful sons. His wife Kellie is vibrant, intelligent soul and they are perfect together. Kellie is passionate about home schooling, nutrition and family and together they are providing their two boys a fabulous foundation to launch their lives.

Creating Tribe Syndication within Your Network Marketing Team

I have always loved creating community. It is no wonder I fell in love with network marketing which is all about creating relationships, teams and ultimately creating community. Having joined The Unified Tribe to network, mastermind and grow the syndication of my articles, videos while helping others to do the same got me thinking.

Creating a version of this syndication within my network marketing team all I can say is Wow! Love the results happening for my team members.

Avoiding Launch Overwhelm, What You Can Do Now

Never before has there been so much good content being produced for internet marketing applicable to any business model including network marketing. As a result of the maturing of the internet and the profession of network marketing there is a cornucopia of fabulous information/education launches happening right now.

If you are just getting starting or even a seasoned professional how do you keep from getting into information overload or what I call Launch Overwhelm? It goes back to the well recited phrase, ‘Most people don’t plan to fail they simply fail to plan.’ You must create your own master game plan.

Net Neutrality, Open Internet for Everyone Part II

After I submitted my first article and video on Net Neutrality I realized that there are still way too many people who don’t understand what Net Neutrality means. I even know some ultra conservatives that believe that Net Neutrality is a Marxist plot. If it wasn’t so sad it would be funny. Have people lost their minds.

The term Net Neutrality was coined by an Intellectual but it has done nothing to further the cause of an open internet for all our citizens. Many people on first glance have no idea why they should care about Net Neutrality. In this day in age of fast a paced information saturated society, it is no wonder the real message has gotten lost.

Net Neutrality means to keep our internet a public channel for all of us to enjoy, both as consumer and business owner. Since its inception he internet has been apart of the public domain. The message of net neutrality is to keep the internet’s status as an public channel.

What does this mean, you ask?

By keeping the internet open then we all have equal access to all the information on the internet and as a marketer we all have a level playing field in terms of getting found on the internet.

Net Neutrality Means Keeping the Internet Free for Everyone

If you use the internet, you must be you’re reading this post, you do business on the internet or both you need to make your voice heard right now. There is a struggle in Congress in regards to net neutrality which means keeping the internet free for you and me and all citizens.

Why should you care? Imagine for a moment that the internet over the next few years becomes controlled by a few large companies who also happen to control the infrastructure of the internet and now they control what websites and blogs you can find on the internet. This greatly impacts us as citizens, consumers and middle to small business owners.

Branded Internet Marketing Systems, Why I said, No

On the surface branded online marketing systems look fabulous. The success of network marketing is based on simple systems that allow people to duplicate quickly to build long term residual income. When I first looked at the branded online marketing systems I was intrigued and very interested in test driving one of these systems.

I enrolled onto several people’s mailing lists with one of the most popular systems and discovered I as started receiving peoples auto responder emails and checking out landing pages, videos etc. that they all looked the same and what was apparent up front was the majority of the marketing was about the system and why you needed it.

I’m not saying the system had no merit however the longer I checked it out the less enamored I was with their branded system.

The New Smart SEO, Social Engagement Opportunities

When it comes to business and the internet our movement has followed a similar trajectory. The first brave souls were the pioneers and often lone rangers. They learned the web and how to market on the internet one step at a time. However, there were, and still are elite groups not usually accessible to your every day solo entrepreneur and small business owner.

Protecting Yourself from Fraud on Social Networks

I want to start this post out by saying that by in large the great majority of people you will come across through social networks and social networking are by in far fabulous people. As in all communities there are a few individuals who choose for whatever reason to participate in fraud or even criminal [...]

Facebook Marketing Your Daily Mode of Operation

I challenge you to make 20 new friend requests 7 days per week in your Facebook marketing for 90 days. The momentum you create will transform your networking in this social medium. Of course you can apply this same regimen to any other social medium you belong and participate in.

Networking Through Facebook Groups and Fan Pages

The most important thing we ever do in business is build relationships. Only through relationship building activities do we build trust with others. I have found networking offline to be the greatest asset to my business and it is just as true online. When I first joined Facebook a number of years ago, I only connected with others as they requested to be my friend on Facebook. I was not giving Facebook at the time the attention it deserved. It didn’t dawn on me at the time that Facebook was no different than all the networking I was doing through the Chamber, BNI and other networking venues.

The funny thing that occurred as a result is that I only became friends with people I already knew or individuals who were already in my business. For a start that was great however I was missing the boat in terms of using Facebook as a venue to network and grow my business. Yes, it is a social network first however it is perfect place to network, create new friendships and ultimately grow your business.

Creating a Winning Profile on Facebook

On first glance setting up a great profile on Facebook or any social network may seem pretty straight forward and it is and there are some key points that can enhance your results. First include as much as you can about your interests and values. This helps attract people to you where you both hold common values. This immediately starts out the relationship with a common bond. If you in part hope to expand your business network through Facebook it pays to brand yourself and create a tribe of like minded individuals with common interests who want to connect to you as well.

Offline and Online Marketing Creates Super Successful Marketing Strategy

You have probably heard the phrase don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. It is funny to me how sometimes as human beings we can be all or nothing, we only do it this way or that way. The truth is traditional marketing methods of face to face, over the phone, person to person has worked remarkably well in network marketing for over 50 years. We are in a relationship business. Many people get caught up in transactional selling where the focus is on making the sale rather than creating long term successful relationships. Network Marketing is all about relationships. This being the case the traditional methods of building a network marketing business can work very well. Over the phone or face to face marketing has tremendous advantages however there is real value in adding in internet marketing including learning how to master social media. The benefits of social media and internet marketing is expanding your reach and the leverage that internet marketing can provide.

Writing from the Heart, Discovering Your Authentic Voice

It takes courage to be true to yourself and follow your heart. We can often get in caught up in what we think we should do or someone else’s magic formula for success and yet at the end of the day we must measure our success by our own values and the urgings of our heart. Social Media is the great equalizer however this does not mean making everyone the same. What makes life so interesting is that we are not all the same and we all have an unique piece of the puzzle to life. This is one of the driving forces that makes social media so dynamic and exciting. People are drawn to people who they feel they can have an authentic connection.

We are starving for real connections. At our essence we all want the same things, happiness, purpose, love and at our core essence we are the same and yet how we express ourselves in the world is as unique as every snowflake. This dynamic is what creates the magnetism of life which attracts us to each other.

Inbound Marketing, Building Organically Creates an Enduring Asset for Your Business

I don’t about you but I can be a bit impatient at times with my marketing. Sometimes I want to have built huge exposure overnight and a huge following but like the tortoise and the hare story, the tortoise approach to your marketing has a huge payoff. It is easy to be tempted to throw money at your marketing to hurry it along and yet in the long run content is king on the web. Organic marketing builds your marketing on a solid and enduring foundation.

My definition of organic marketing versus traditional outbound marketing is that you are relying on good content and utilizing social media to get your message out to the market place by offering tremendous value to your readers. Traditionally marketing was ruled by those who had the biggest wallets and the ability to get their messages out to the market place over and over again. It relied on a one directional approach where organic marketing is dynamic and is multi-directional and when done properly invites the participation of all.

Mastering Social Media One Bite At a Time

his post is very pertinent to my own journey. It is easy to get distracted and running into too many different directions when setting up your points of contact on the web for your internet marketing. I have 2 youtube channels, my husband has a youtube channel for his new business, I have two blogs, my facebook and my twitter account. I have a dozen or so articles I have written thus far. My plan is to connect all these points and use my youtube channels and articles in part to drive traffic to my blog. As a Master Plan it has a lot of merit however there is something to be said for focusing your efforts.

In looking back at my internet marketing experience thus far I can see another approach that I believe deserves consideration. Pick one social media platform and master it. Once mastered pick another medium and master that as well. In other words build each piece of your network on the web one social medium at a time. I have been on Facebook for two years but only recently am I fully realizing the potential of Facebook.

Twitter Tips

My husband and I have been attending Tweet Ups in Sedona and Flagstaff AZ. I love this venue, think of it as Meetups for people who use Twitter to promote their businesses. A new feature of the last event we attended at the Sedona Hilton was to share our favorite Twitter tips. I gained some real gems that I will share in this post.

Decide in terms of your marketing strategy what your target markets are and seek those individuals out. Be clear on your marketing goals so as you build your list of twitter followers you are attracting those who may be interested in what you are offering.

The hardest thing is to share and be heard on Twitter. If you have a big list of followers how do you target those followers that can benefit from what you are sharing? One of the social media mavens at this event shared with me that it would be very beneficial for me to use of hashtags in all my tweets when targeting a niche subject. An example if I want to tweet on a tip for social media I’d include #social media usually at the end of my tweet. My husband Larry who has been using Twitter for several years uses the hashtag prior to any key word in his sentence when he wants his subject to stand out to those who may be interested in picking up on what he is saying.

Twitter Overwhelms Some Now with the Lists Feature You Can Organize Your Twitter Life

I have been so busy building two blogs, setting up my video marketing and building up my friends on Facebook, setting up a Fan Page I left Twitter for last. I know Twitter can be a great tool but frankly I was overwhelmed with Twitter. A year ago when I joined Twitter I barely used it, when I set up some automated tools into my Twitter Account I started having a steady stream of followers and sadly I had no time to develop relationships on my Twitter account.

Now that I’m getting close to having most my marketing pieces in place of course always a work in progress I will be able to devote more time to developing quality connections on Twitter. I was overjoyed that Twitter just announced the use of “lists” on Twitter. The “list” feature allows you to organize your followers according to category, like friends, business colleagues and niche market lists like in my case social media, internet marketing, social media coaching, health, nutrition, wellness, fitness etc. I now have a way to make sense of my followers and better serve and focus my energies.
