Relationships is something we value in our personal lives, and most of our relationships are our friends and our families. So if your relationships are healthy and close you should be putting the people in your relationships before yourself. The majority of you would do most anything for your family and close friends, so are you nurturing your business relationship in the same way?

Are You Receiving Followers Daily?

When I first joined WA many of you contacted me for assistance, and the majority of the members were struggling for traffic and sales. So one sign your business is growing is when you begin to start getting new followers daily, and I do receive followers daily on all my social pages and groups. So if you are not experiencing the same thing, you might want to read and seriously consider what I am going to share in this post.


Why Followers Are Important?

I don't care if you are ranking number one on the search engines every single day, you still need to take your followers serious for the most success. It is true you should not depend totally on your social media pages for traffic and sales, but if you are depending completely on organic traffic you are missing out on receiving the most success. The more people who follow you the more people are going to be seeing your posts, and this in turn will build trust among people that will bring you more traffic and sales. Anyone who follows me usually will experience a dramatic change in followers plus traffic, and the reason for this is I have a very supportive group of followers. Why are my followers so supportive to my posts and my other followers, I simply put my followers before myself and my own business regularly.

Building Relationships Is The Key

Business relationships are almost as important as your family and friends when you are in this business, and we have the same goals so forming relationships and helping one another provides all of us more success. Any of you who really have gotten to know me knows I put my followers first, and this over the years has been one of my best strategies to be earning the steady income I am today.

Do You Go Out Of Your Way To Help Other Members?

From day one I made it clear I joined WA not for the training, and not for the benefits it provides my own business. I joined WA to assist all of you with Mentoring for Free, and I have been doing my very best to assist everyone who contacts me for help as much as I can. Are you sharing other members posts on your social media pages, you will find this is my regular routine every chance I get. This is not only helping other members, but this is actually building relationships on every one of your social pages. You see this is an easy way to stay active on your social pages, but it also gets the attention of many people when you are posting other peoples posts more than your own. The majority of people will then want to follow you as well, and this is a very easy way to be building your followers and forming business relationships.

Site Comments

Site Comments on WA provides you easy access to other members posts, and it only takes a few extra minutes to share their post on at least one of your social pages if they provide you with sharing buttons. I really feel the majority of the members are not understanding how powerful sharing buttons really are on your websites, and even if you share every members post that you comment on even on one page, you are going to have more of an impact on your own pages than you realize. I am receiving followers on all my social pages, and many of them I am lucky if I get on them once per week. I am posting on them regularly from many of your posts on Site Comments, so this is how my pages keep growing in followers pretty much every day.

Why Does This Work So Well?

You see why this works so effectively is when other business owners and bloggers are seeing regular posts you are sharing of other business owners and bloggers they want to be a part of it as well. So they will follow you because they know you are going to share their posts on your pages, and this has a domino effect with more and more people following you to get more exposure. Even better everyone who follows you is going to share your posts as well, and the reason is they know if they share your post you are more likely going to share more of their posts in return.

Going From The New Kid To The Most Popular kid Online

Since joining WA I have designed several new websites as many of you know, and even though these websites are only months old I am receiving traffic and sales. Now these websites being new I am not able to rank all the time on the search engines being the new kid in town, but since I am popular on my social media pages I am receiving traffic and sales I would not be receiving if was not for my followers. Many times when you are new in this business you can start seeing traffic and sales quicker from your social media pages than the search engines, and this all depends on your niche and who you are competing against for the keywords you are trying to rank for. So what I am sharing is you can receive traffic and sales you wouldn't be by using this strategy, and this also can get your subscriber form starting to get sign ups for your newsletters as well.

It Really Is About Relationships

Being honest and going out of your way for others is really an important strategy no matter how long you are in this business, and when people like you and respect you they are going to go out of their way to help you in return. I will often thank and mention those who follow me and share my posts, and when you mention others and their pages it really does go a long way. The easy way out is too just to like other pages, and this is what the majority of people do especially when they are new to social media marketing. The majority of people will not take the time to mention other pages with a comment, so this really adds extra posts on your pages and people really start to notice you more by doing this than posting your heart out with your own blog posts. This is forming relationships and there is nothing more powerful than relationships, so these are just some things that I do that has worked extremely well for me through social media marketing.

Is Social Media Marketing A Must

I am sure there are successful businesses that are not using social media marketing, but most of those will be big businesses with the funds to pay for advertising. You will find many of the bigger businesses that have been online forever are still using social media marketing, and if you go on pages such as Facebook you are going to find many of them with pages. I don't really bother much with my personal or my business pages on Facebook anymore, I do post on my Mentoring with Jeff business page regularly for my followers. You will find most of my interaction on Facebook is on my groups these days, and the reason is everyone can benefit with more exposure by joining together on groups than on business pages. People just love joining groups on Facebook, so anyone new I would go with a personal account to get started and then later on start your own business niche group. For now, I recommend you join at least a few groups in your niche. Be sure they allow you to post on the group, and like my free business group on Facebook I encourage my members to post their blog posts on the group. The more posts on a group the more exposure every page receives, so as the group grows and more members are posting regularly the more people are going to see everyone's posts. This will eventually provide everyone with more traffic and sales, so if you are going to use Facebook this is what I have found works the best.

Thank you for reading this post, and I hope it helps some of you with more followers, traffic, and sales. You all are welcome to follow me on my social pages to take advantage of my dedicated and supportive followers, but this is for your benefit not for mine.
