Tips To Get You Started In Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing Can Open The Door For Your Business

Interact To Connect

Always respond to questions and comments on your social media pages. Once or twice daily, check your profiles, and respond to these questions and comments as needed. You might also opt-in to daily or individual notifications, which can be sent to your inbox each time someone posts a comment or question. It is important to realize that your response to comments can be seen by everyone.

Learn From Others

If you search a competetors site you can see how they have set up their social media marketing page. Discover what is helping their success and what is not working. Once you do, take advantage of the things you've learned, and use them to take your business to new heights.

Combine Your Other Advertising Efforts

Try combining social media marketing with email marketing. Add a link to your Facebook and Twitter profile in the signature of the emails you send and let people know they can use these sites to ask questions. Another thing you can do is encourage visitors to subscribe to your newsletter.

Encourage Feedback

On your site or your Facebook profile, you can create an accessible review page By using a tool like this, your followers can write their own reviews about your site and services. You will be able to edit these reviews and remove the ones you do not like. It's easy to encourage users to add reviews by offering a contest or implementing some other promotion.

Be Real

Take advantage of the profile function on Facebook. Also, be sure to acknowledge everyone who comments on your page. Quickly respond to inquiries or questions and have conversations with those who post. Your customers will feel more connected to your company if you respond promptly to their concerns.

Post Frequently

Make sure not to neglect postings and updating frequently. Offer visitors something interesting to anticipate and something on which they can rely. Make a posting schedule, or use a company that will post for you in specific time intervals. That way, you will stay on your readers' radars.

Utilize Products and Resources available

You can amp up your marketing plan without having to rely on banner ads and articles that aren't any good. All sorts of media which entertains people can be used to attract a big audience in very quick order. As a business owner, you are responsible for supplying excellent products and services. Nonetheless, you can increase your success by following these tips. Offer value and keep your reader's attention.

Mindset of Success

Live your life on purpose….Make a plan and take action. Own the results of your actions.

A leading expert in motivation and personality psychology, Carol Dweck has discovered in more than twenty years of research that our mindset is not a minor personality quirk: it creates our whole mental world. It explains how we become optimistic or pessimistic. It shapes our goals, our attitude toward work and relationships, and how we raise our kids, ultimately predicting whether or not we will fulfill our potential.

Change your mindset and you will change your life!

This book is a great read with incredibly valuable guidance and explanation on the power of a positive 

mindset.

You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of. You don't have charge of the constellations, but you do have charge of whether you read, develop new skills, and take new classes.~Jim Rohn

First Empower Network Event Has Left Me Empowered

The Don't Be A Wussy Event in Atlanta was a profound experience. The Founders
and leaders over delivered in content and value. The energy was palpable! I will always remember the weekend of June 8-10, 2012. The first Empower Network event has empowered me!

Think and Grow Rich wrote: “The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.”

Think and Grow Rich wrote: “I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.”

The message that was delivered during this weekend was honest and authentic! The business is honest and authentic. The philosophy of the leaders in Empower Network is “you have to give to get”. It is that philosophy of the leaders and a personal positive mindset that will complete the equation of success. Put the two quotes above together with the vehicle of Empower Network and success is inevitable!

The Event in Atlanta was crazy and Empowering! http://ibourl.com/t5z

Profound Experience at the First Empower Network Event

I have had the privilege of being a part of history by attending the first Empower Network Event: Don't Be A Wussy 2012

Don't Be A Wussy Event 2012

On many levels I am proud of myself.......

the odds were against me going and I just kept my focus.

The event was at the Omni Hotel in the CNN building in Atlanta, Georgia ~ June 8-10th....and it was a profound, life changing weekend for me and many others.

1200 people from all over the world came to this event full of anticipation.  There were people from Australia, United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, Canada and people throughout United States.

A Room Full Of Empowered People

Everyone that I met, connected with and saw was full of energy and incredibly positive.

I have been to many Nursing and Healthcare events, but nothing of this caliber. It was profound and powerful beyond measure.

David Wood and David Sharpe delivered a tremendous amount of content. They shared humour, steps and techniques to succeed as well as personal stories ~ all of which were incredibly inspiring.

Many of the successful leaders spoke on the same level. They shared their personal story, how and why they are succeeding. The energy in the room was unbelievable and radiated throughout.

A few of the topics discussed:

• Make 100% commissions
• Scientific plan to make at least $10,000 in the next 103 days
• Mindset switch-getting rid of all your hangups and baggage
• Community of people where 95% of the people are making money regardless of race, gender, age, or background
• Building relationships and networking with like-minded people
• Reignite your dream
• People genuinely care about your success
• Team leaders willing to help other team members

Don't Be A Wussy was a members only event

we were required to sign a NDA-(non-disclosure agreement)

Don't Be A Wussy was a non-cross recruiting event

We were not allowed to invite others to other business ventures. This made the event about Empower Network only. It also encouraged more networking with each other. There was a comfort in connecting with each other as no one was afraid of being prospected into other businesses.

Don't Be A Wussy had a Commission Countdown

Something that has never been done before in this industry is a commission countdown. David Sharpe led this powerful moment. It started with people who had made over $200,000 since November 2011. It ended with the brand new people who had made $25. Once the countdown reached the hundreds everyone was chanting "STAY IN THE GAME". Everyone was supported. Everyone was included. Everyone was considered valuable. The first ever "commission countdown" was just one of the many powerful moments of the event, but possibly THE most powerful. What an experience to take in!

The Power Of Empower Network

Even without studying the power of water we all know that is one of the most powerful resources we have. I liken the power of Empower Network to the power of water. It is a powerful group of people led by powerful leaders full of powerful resources. That is powerful!

The event was both profound and powerful!

The founders, David Wood and David Sharpe along with many of the successful leaders did not just speak at the event. After the organized part of the event they connected individually with many or all of us. They were available and shared with us for hours into the wee hours of the morning.

At any given time, walking through the hotel between and after the scheduled parts of the event you would find people connecting and sharing tips, techniques and marketing ideas. The masterminding was energetic and productive.

David Sharpe with me!

My awesome sponsor and inspiring leader ~ Tony Rush

Tony regularly has team calls sharing value and over delivering. His speech at the event was incredible.

The Cynthia SocialCowgirl and me :)

Lawrence Tam and I

Dave and Dave specifically want to help Empower Women

David Wood and David Sharpe have stated that they want to see women succeed just as much as men in this market. That's powerful in itself. These men are amazing, a little crazy and passionate beyond belief!

For some proof take a look at my sponsor and his beautiful wife posing with a cheque showing the commission that he has made since November 2011....

Empower Network pays 100% Commissions

The next event will be September 21, 22 and 23 in San Diego, CA

FIGHT THE FORCES OF EVIL

Join Empower Network and get to the next event.

Meet these gurus......and work with me....enjoy SUCCESS

 David Wood and David Sharpe

Empowered Gurus

I have been watching live streams and on calls with David Wood and David Sharpe many times over the last few months...but the real magic happened at this event! The energy that was created with them on stage and off was magical. When they greet you with hand shakes and hugs, it makes you feel empowered. All of the leaders that I met and heard shared profound energy and true transperency.

Rob Fore's speech was brilliant and life changing. It was a game changer. He talked about mindset switch-to get rid of hang ups and emotional baggage that is preventing us from succeeding. It was one of the most profound parts of the event for me personally. He is a tremendous gentleman.

Rob Fore and Me (with a goofy smile :D)

Just get in on this movement and experience the magic...

Get a little crazy or a lot crazy and change your life!!

Problogging: Making Money From Blogs

PROBLOGGING: MAKING MONEY FROM BLOGS

A weblog (or simply blog) really is a website that 'publishes' or features articles (which are called 'blog posts', 'posts', or 'entries'), put together by an individual potentially a group which make by using any or perhaps a mixture of these following:

• Straight texts
• Photographs or images (photoblog)
• Video (videoblog)
• Audio files (audioblog)
• Hyperlinks

Usually presented and arranged in reverse chronological order, blogs are essentially aimed at these fundamental purposes:

• Online journal or a web diary
• Content managament system
• Online publishing platform

A typical blog has got the following components:

• Post date -the date and time of the blog entry
• Category - the category which the blog belongs to
• Title - the title of your blog
• Main body - the principle content of the blog
• RSS and trackback - links the blog back from different sites
• Comments - commentaries which are added by readers
• Permalinks - the URL of the full article
• Other optional items - calendar, archives, blogrolls, and add-ons or plug-ins

A blog might also have access to a footer, usually available at the bottom of your blog, that shows your post date, the author, the category, as well as the 'stats' (the number of comments or trackbacks).

There are a great number of varieties of blogs. Some of them are classified as the following:


1. Political blog - on news, politics, activism, as well as other issue based blogs (which include campaigning).
2. Personal blog - also referred to as online diary that could include an individual's day-to-day experience, complaints, poems, and illicit thoughts, and communications between friends.
3. Topical blog - with focus either on any particular niche (function or position) that's usually technical in nature or a local information.
4. Health blog - on specific health complications. Medical blog is truly a major type of health blog that features medical news from health care professionals and/or actual patient cases.
5. Literary blog - also known as litblog.
6. Travel blog - with focus on a traveler's stories when on a particular journey.
7. Research blog - on academic issues which can include research notes.
8. Legal blog - on law (technical areas) and legal affairs; also called 'blawgs'.
9. Media blog - focus on falsehoods or inconsistencies in mass media; usually exclusive for a newspaper or a television network.
10. Religious blog - on religious topics
11. Educational blog - on educational applications, usually written by students and teachers.
12. Collaborative or collective blog - a specific topic written by a group of people.

Blogging is often done on a regular (almost daily) basis. The term "blogging" refers to the act of authoring, maintaining, or adding an article to an existing blog, while the term "blogger" refers to someone or a group who keeps a blog. Today, more than 3 million blogs are able to be found in the web. This figure is continuously growing, given that the accessibility to various blog software, tools, along with applications make it less complicated for nearly anybody to update or keep up with the blog (even those with little or no technical background). 




Because of this trend, bloggers can now be categorised into 4 main types:


Personal bloggers - those who focus on a diary or on any topic that any individual feels strongly about.
Business bloggers - those who focus on promoting products and services.
Organizational bloggers - people who concentrate on internal or external communication in an organization as well as community.
Professional bloggers - those people who are hired or paid to accomplish blogging.






Problogging (professional blogging) is blogging for a profit. Probloggers (professional bloggers) are people who make income using blogging (as an individual blog publisher or a hired blogger).

Below are just a couple of the many money-making opportunities for probloggers:

• Advertising programs
• RSS advertising
• Sponsorship
• Affiliate products and programs
• Digital assets
• Blog network writing gigs
• Business blog writing gigs
• Non blogging writing gigs
• Donations
• Flipping blogs
• Merchandising
• Consulting and speaking

The following are a few things which you need to take into account if you want to make a success in problogging:


1. Have patience. Problogging requires a lot of effort and time, not to mention a long-term vision.
2. Know your audience. Targeting a particular audience or group is definitely a key to constructing a readership.
3. Be an 'expert'. Focus on a specific niche topic and strive to become the "go-to" blogger regarding that topic.
4. Diversify. Research various ad and affiliate marketing programs that enable you to make money on the internet (aside from blogging).
5. Do not bore your readers. 






Concentrate on the layout. White spaces, line spacings, and bigger fonts make a blog welcoming to read.Certainly, it is possible to make money from blogs. 


One just must take risks, the passion, and also the right attitude so as to turn into successful problogger.
