This blog post is going to be jam packed with wisdom and insight aimed to help you navigate and negotiate and leverage without falling victim to the predators of m oddern day get rich quick marketing tactics .
There are several personalities marketing online that are honest and reliable .
With that being said, you still have to be aware of the pitfalls .
The Most Practical Socialmedia Marketing Strategy That Works Like Crazy
I screwed up big time in the game so therefore I know what I know .
Any suggestions for a new comer.
That is an example of the questions that I have seen in forums and groups .
I know what it is like being new wet behind the ears.
I didn’t ask many questions which I really should have .
I was more interested in making sales than anything else .
I had gotten to know a few people and trusted them very much .
I looked up to these guys as mentors and internet marketing rock stars .
In reality as a newcomer, everybody is going to act nice to you to get your money.
Some marketers are genuine before they get your money but after they do get your money they switch up.
As soon as you purchase 1 product they up sell you to no end .
This begs me to question whether or not the relationship was genuine from the get go
The most potent socialmedia tips for small businesses that drive Organic growth
They say action speaks louder than words and I agree .
I remember when I started marketing I had to face an avalanche .
I was being pitched left right and center .
And when I did decide to buy something I was being promoted as someone to model.
All of it was a front.I was being used as a pawn .
The next person to buy something is now being promoted as the next big thing.So it kind of makes you feel as if you have not done enough.
The cycle is like it is never ending but you know nothing lasts forever .
I still see marketers doing it today however I don’t see it as the most effective way to build brand loyalty.
Mind you it works like a charm but it is the intent behind doing it that concerns me
And it is not fraudulent or anything like that
I can just go along with the rest of my fellow marketers and exploit new comers but I won’t.
I value the long-term relationship more than anything else .
My job as a more experienced marketer is to be honest and forthcoming .
Part of my job is to help you avoid the pitfalls that I faced as a beginner.
I know what it is like to invest a big chunk of my money and not get a dime back .
I know what is like to be scammed
If you do not want to get scammed or burn a hole in your pocket stay on board .
Mind you there are people that market with integrity and honesty.
- Garry V
- Darren Rowse
- Jeff Bullas
- Guy Kawasaki
- Seth godin
- Marc Guberti
Those are a few of the people that I admire on social media.
With those guys value supersedes everything else .
They truly understand and know that problems need to be solved.
Those guys are leaders in the game .
Neil Patel is another genuine guy .He is across multiple platforms .
You can find him giving out value on a daily basis.
Remember that you are a newcomer and people will promise you the world.
Be mindful that anyone that has to try and convince you directly might not be the person to buy from.
In business you can buy growth but you cannot buy results
People will try and convince you that you need a mentor to succeed .
They will tell you that they have they have the experience and can help you avoid the pitfalls .
That might be true but they cannot prevent you from making mistakes
To top it off that same person is still learning .We are all learning and have to make adjustments .
There is no telling what the market is going to do from day to day and no Coach can do anything to stop change.
Buy what You can do is be proactive .
- Testing
- researching
- Investing in new technology
I have no qualms about mentor ship I am not a believer in the “you need my coaching”
I am a believer in hard work and dedication .
Without work ethic you will not get a result
Mentors can advise you but nothing can ever prepare you for the changes and reality of the market.
Those that are great mentors have had to go through a learning process like you and me
You will learn and gain the experience that you need but do not think that you need me or anyone else to teach you before you reach a high level of success.
I am going to share ten tips that are sure to help you grow
- Ignore the noise
I am not telling you to stay in a box and don’t get involved in the day to day conversations regarding your brand or trending topics .
I am advising you to put the work in and don’t focus on other people’s results because it takes away from your accomplishments .
- Do not underestimate yourself
Do not think for 1 minute that you do not have the ability or skills to make a mark on social media
Give yourself time but also keep in mind that everyone has had to start somewhere .No one arrived at the top .
So any marketer that you come across that has been successful has to put in work .
They are no different from you and me .
- Put in the time
You cannot just sign up run a few solo ads ,post a few blog post ask people to buy your products and think that is enough .
To win on social.media you have to get down and dirty day in and day out .
- Trust but verify
Be mindful of who you collaborate with and buy from.Some people post fake earnings and other results to lure you in .
It will not hurt you to do some research on the person and maybe ask a few questions .
- Focus on solutions
Knowing and understanding products life cycle and capabilities is vital but if you cannot identify customers problems and then present solutions your products will not sell.
- Let the results speak
You just go ahead and put in the work and let your actions represent you .The problem I see with some marketers is that they try to convince people.
Results will do the talking for you .
- Market for the right reasons
Market to give value and solve customer issues . .A happy customer is one that will buy more products and services from you.
Make it about the customer and you will benefit .
I am not saying that you have to spend time debating or using up all of your time and energy on people that you know are not interested in your services.
Some people will take you for a ride But do not let that stop you from sharing asking questions with fans and onlookers.
- Be professional
Internet marketing business should be invested in and operated like business .Do not think that you can neglect your business then reap the rewards.
What you put in is what you are going to get out .
- In order for a tree to grow a seed must be planted and nurtured .
It takes work time energy and effort and attitude .If you are consistently learning evolving failing you will succeed.
But if you are a person that is looking for results to be handed to you on a silver plate you had better wake up .
You have to pound the pavement to get worthwhile results.
Forget the people making promises .Any body online making promises is either
- Desperate
- Scammish
I just cannot see no other reasons why .Based on experience people like that are desperate and or u aware or scam artist.
This brings me to my next point
- Do not be a victim to scam
I have been scammed due to my ignorance and lack of patience .I was hell bent on making a quick buck .So off course like other vulnerable beginners the money enticed me.
Once you make the decision to swipe your credit or debit card and the transaction has been processed things change and some times people vanish
And you sure as hell do not want to burn up all your hard earned dollars.
Always analyze and research people products and services .
Mind you some brands like best but Amazon Walmart are trustworthy .
- Do not give up
You can’t just bang the hammer and expect to get results.If you are doing something and it is not working make adjustments.
On another note you have to be patient and give yourself enough time .New marketers think that they can jump on line and thrive like that.
- Innovate
Do not follow what the herd is doing.Test out new methods ,measure your results and build .
What I am saying is that you should build measure and learn .
- Do not pressure people
Not everyone that joins your group or signs up to opt in to your email list is doing it for the sole purpose of buying .
Yes many of them have intentions of buying but you must not assume without engaging to get feedback .
People want their shopping experience to be memorable and pleasurable .So if you decide to go for the jugular immediately you can lose customers .
- Work your ass off
If you want success you have to earn it You have to put in as much time humanly possible .
It is not just setting up an online business making sales and accumulating a big following .
Show up consistently and put your best foot forward .Hard work and strategy will pay off big time .
- Believe in yourself
Rest assured there will be times when doubt comes in your mind but these are the days that you have to keep applying yourself .
Social media is not as easy as some people make it out to be but you can live a life of abundance .
- Use the internet as a tool
Do not fall in love with the internet fall in love with the process that it takes to make sales and grow an active following
Social media is a tool and an outlet .Learn to Seperate your emotions from the business side of things.
Have fun dig deep and do not get upset or out of control .
- Be reliable
The trust factor is a major part of the social media process . The more people like and trust you the more likely it is that they will buy from you. Trust is is the most imp-ortyant aspect of the buying and selling aspect .
- Be ready to face difficulty
There will be days and times when you feel like throwing in the towel but it is on those days that you have to push forward .These are the days that are going to make or break you . It is usually at this point in time when new comers give up the ghost .
Conclusion
Social-media marketing is not as easy as some people make it out to be .I can understand why some choose to promote it this way but that is another story in of itself to be talked about in the future .
Inn the mean time get to work get active in the market networking and giving people the value that they so richly deserve .
Play the game long and be patient with thy self throughout the process day in and day out .
