Social Media – Simple Online Marketing Tips & Strategies

Renewing Your Successful Spirit

Just got back from Las Vegas after a two-week business trip supporting an international client and I must admit, “It was gruelling and tough.”

But, that’s OK. I made it back in one piece and I’m glad you made it to this page. I appreciate it from the heart. I do ask if you find this info of value, please take time to “Like” and “Share” it!

Hey, I did, however, took the time while in Vegas to share my personal affiliate program with several local businesses and independent business owners geared toward helping them generate more leads and sales through the offering of key incentives without increasing their marketing budget.

Alright, let’s get into the subject of this blog post today, “Renewing Your Successful Spirit.”

But first, let me be clear about where I’m going with you on this particular topic. My focus is on your business mindset and what’s deep inside of “You” that keeps you fired up about taking it to the next level, you know what I mean?

Let me ask you a question. Have you ever taken the time to follow some of your business affiliates or leaders around that are absolutely “Killing the game in the business you find yourself associated with?!”

Did you notice the high-levels of energy, enthusiasm, and confidence in their delivery and, most importantly, the value they bring?

They seem to be always “On” when involved in growng their business. Indeed, they love what they do and find a lot of meaning from engaging in it, and totally focused on prospecting and presenting.

It’s called being “All-In.”

Kinda makes you wonder if these “Hype-Types” were naturally born with this level of optimism or they simply learned it over time.

Well, truth be told, most of these professionals started off with the same doubts and concerns you may have right now, but set themselves up toward moving to the next level by developing habits of renewing their successful spirit daily.

How?

They do it by adopting healthty thoughts, working with supportive people, ejecting negative people from their lives, and continue to embrace the ultimate zest from acheiving greatness.

You see if you are just curious and not serious, that mindset just doesn’t equate to being laser-focused on your purpose, but I know I’m just singing to the choir.

At least I hope so…

We all get busy. You may not have an hour or two daily to set aside time for personal development, so creativity is needed.

You can make it a habit to integrate some learning and motivation into your daily lives. These activities don’t have to take up a lot of your time.

- - Watch motivational videos on YouTube
  - Study the lives of inspirational mentors
  - Spend time contributing to a worth-while cause
  - Pray or meditate
  - Listen to CDs while driving or exercising
  - Learn something new each day

If you haven’t already, why not commit today to incorporate one or two of these renewal habits into your daily routine? Top business professional finds ways to make themselve and others feel like “Rock stars” about life.

You must keep dreaming, aspiring, learning, and inspiring those around you. Good leaders don’t zap all the energy from you, they empower and energize his or her base.

They are attractive people who automatically attract others because they are continually renewing their successful spirit.

Getting Linked To LinkedIn – The Door To Social Media Professionalism

I enjoy connecting with people on LinkedIn. As a Government Consultant and Online Marketer, this site has helped me boost my industry credibility and can do the same for you, especially if you’ve set-up your personal profile correctly.

If you need help setting-up your profile on LinkedIn for maximum exposure for online marketing purposes and/or putting your credentials out there to attract top recruiters looking to fill critical job vacancies click on the banner below.

You can also click here to connect and link-up with me.

I’d really appreciate it to the fullest!

Seriously, don’t play around with not using this powerful social media platform.

Over 85 million professionals worldwide hang out at this “social media water cooler” and you should be filling up your cup, as well.

This network opens the door to exchanging information, ideals, and some awesome opportunities. Where else in the social media space can you have your personal profile serves as a resume? There’s no better place to share your expertise and highlight your credentials.

Like I said, earlier, Recruiters are all over LinkedIn actively searching for qualified candidates to fill key positions. As a matter of fact, I was contacted and recruited by a major contractor on LinkedIn two years ago to serve as Senior Advisor, Royal Saudi Air Force, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Dhahran.

I worked in Saudi Arabia for two years returning in 2016 and now I work for another Government Agency and continue to enjoy online marketing and providing value in this space on a part-time basis.

But this post ain’t about me. It’s all about you and how you can take full advantage of the powerful options this site has to offer like creating groups.

Yep.

This social media site allows you to create groups, if you didn’t know it just like Facebook, but on a more professional and focused level.

You see in these groups, you can launch discussions with like-minded professionals or simply participate to gain visibility, make lasting contacts, and more.

Now, if you want to grow your business presence online, well you’re in the right place. On LinkedIn, companies or organizational activities can post a profile so that anyone who may be doing research on them can see who they are, what they do, their services provided, and even who works for them.

Pretty cool, do you agree?

But don’t forget this…on LinkedIn you can multitask. That’s right. On this site you can link to websites, blogs, and get your “Tweet” on connecting to Twitter. You simply add them to your profile.

LinkedIn is no joke when it comes to getting the professional exposure you need if you are serious about business and professional growth. It’s one of the best platforms out there for online marketing bar none.

Twitter: 140 Characters To Profits

Good people…this blog post is all about Twitter. Twitter Marketing to be exact.

If you stick around long enough, I’d appreciate it if you ”Like” and “Share” if you find the info of value.

I try to keep it simple without all the Hype.

Most of you already know about Twitter and probably use it as part of your marketing strategy to build your social media presence. Well, if you aren’t using it, you should.

It’s free…

Firing off short messages up to 140 characters on your profile and viewing other users profiles can make you some money with the right branding and delivery. Of course, you need to have a plan.

Hell, we all do.

Twitter allows flexibility, helps you or your company quickly establish direct relationships with your audience, and provides you with a capability to connect with your base faster. It can also help you save cash on marketing, if you have a budget.

So, let me ask you a question, my friend…. Is your company, brand, or you being tweeted about or retweeted right now? If “Yes,” that’s cool. Whatever you’re doing is working, so”Keep on Trucking!”

Word on the street is that Twitter is the truest focus group on the planet.

What do you think?

If you are the nosy type you can easily find out what folks are saying. All you have to do is use Twitter’s search engine (http://search.twitter.com) to check out what’s hot about a company, person, or industry.

You know what’s so slick about Twitter and Twitter Marketing?

It lets you or your company deliver awesome customer service to individuals and groups, and check this out, because all your subscribers can see the response you tweeted, many of your subscribers will benefit from that one awesome example of “Marketing Goodness” called customer service.

But you got to walk the walk, you know what I mean?

If you are going to set-up a Twitter account you got to put in the work to maintain it. You must use this marketing platform to get people involved and engaged, forget about yourself.

Using Twitter as a self-serving propaganda tool will not get you or your company any “Cool Points.”

I’ve said this in past post, “You better have a presence of the web if you want online success.” You need to have a Twitter account to stake your claim on the web.

It’s true.

Don’t believe me? Well believe this…a Twitter site is often one of the top web listings in a Google or Yahoo search. If you have a small company or a start-up affiliate marketer with a small or no budget to post ads, Twitter can serve as your main marketing outlet.

Businesses, for example, that focus on nutritional products can tweet new product additions or hot deals. You can do this right from your mobile, it’s an easy task and absolutely instant.

Even if you or your company has a small website on the web, you can change your Twitter page so it’s visually consistent with your website and whatever branding you already have in place.

Believe it or not, there are some major online entities that could care less about doing this, losing out on a prime opportunity to emphasize their brand.

Hell, just because you or your company is small doesn’t mean that it can’t compete with the big guys.

Got Three “Vs”? Try This Social Media Strategy Today

When it comes to marketing on social media platforms, some of you want to try to do it all. Well, more power to you, no disrespect. Not me. “I ain’t got that type of time”…

But, what I did do, in terms of throwing content on the social media wall to see what sticks, I found didn’t work for me…It did make me narrow my focus to a few of them. You know, the “Big Three”…Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, but hey, that’s just me.

You can do what you want to do. It’s your marketing techniques, tips, etc., but a little advice never hurt anyone. At least, I hope not. …..

So, getting back to the real “Meat & Potatoes” of this blog post before I digress. There’s an overwhelming amount of social media options out there. Pick out your top 2 or 3 favorites and go for it.

At the end of the day, If you truly want success by sticking your big toe in the murky waters of social media marketing it eventually boils down to the three Vs: value, values, and voice.

Yeah, I can see you with a perplexed expression on your face, like “JL, “WTH” are you talking about! LOL….Cool, I’ll see if I can break this down like fractions for you…

Value

I’m going to assume that you know what value means…not trying to be funny, it’s all about getting the message. See, this stuff is important. Social media, as you may know, has got to be bigger than one single person, company, or organization. Now, you can write about yourself, post a bunch of selfies, and focus on yourself, company, or organization…it’s all good.

This effort may keep search engines happy as hell, but the readers are going to look at you as a boring P-O-S….

Just keeping things real here.

Try to deliver great value to the reader. You see, it’s not all about you. Think of how to improve their lives (not by simply selling a product or some service, but by talking about it in a way that it has an impact. A big one).

Do you want your readers to “Stay and Play?” I feel you. Just remember that your content doesn’t have to be profound. But it must have a reason, understand?

I hope so.

Values

Have any principles that you think are important? Well, this is exactly what values mean…. There are a lot of companies and organizations, because of their industry, make the big mistake in believing that using social media must be formal and bland…. no seasonings, a diet version of its formal self.

Wrong….

We’ve all been around the block or two. Yeah, I get the compliance and regulatory piece on issues and concerns, but these two things shouldn’t dictate that social media marketing must be boring as “Hell.”

As a retired military veteran, I enjoy writing about entrepreneurship principles and strategies, and share some links to other articles to show how other veterans are stepping out on faith and building non-traditional fortunes.

If you’re affiliated with a company selling attraction marketing products, well you can use social media platforms to offer awesome content by sharing you or your company values and experiences about not having to chase friends and family to try to get your prospects into your business opportunity, and how to experience rejection-free outcomes.

Hit the huge issues first, then talk about you and your organization second.

Voice

This last “V” is a beast. It’s serious. It’s about being real when you write or post. Honestly, no one wants to hear that “Take Me To Your Leader” Martian-like voice on paper…so, work this part out. Figure out what your true voice is and write the way you talk.

If you, your company, or organization is in the pharmaceutical industry, well the authentic voice may be more professional and compassionate and geared more toward making readers feel confident in potentially using one of your products or medications to eliminate an illness or condition.

The President of the company may come off as a bit more opinionated, especially on social media. But for you, well you must have a conversation with your readers on issues you care about, and that voice of yours will ring through loud and clear as a bell.

This, my friend, is how you create connections…..through the use of an authentic voice.
