What to Talk (Post) About ?

First, something I've learned from too many Guru's to know which one to give credit.

Learn, Try, Teach. If you just learned something in a training, a webinar or from your research jump out there and teach it. Most of your audience probably never heard it. You only need to stay one step ahead of them, this is how people will come to see you as an expert in your field !

Talk research you've done for your Blog, Marketing Tips, SEO, whatever you have learned and are interested in ! You have knowledge and skills you don't even realize ! People will also engage more if you tell a story, post a funny joke now and then. They will remember you and follow you more closely !

Share with them ! Provide your audience with all the free value you can ! When the time comes, and you ask them to, many of them will be willing to part with their hard earned cash simply because you tell them it's worth it !

(Please leave a "Like" if you find value in this)

I like this. Incidentally, I just started a FB page with my name on it, rather than the name of my internet marketing blog, so I can practise my lives as well as promote all of my ventures on it.

This is a timely training, thanks!

Nice Jacquie !
On Facebook you can also start a "Business Page" if you want to put something under your blog name. You can actually start as many of those or "Group Pages" as you like. For sure your personal profile page should be in your name though !
Please feel free to reach out to me if you hit any snags or I can help in any way !
Regards !
Mike

Hello Mike,

Liked your training post. The only social media I have ever used is Facebook. I tried Twitter but got lost. I know it is important these days to be able to market yourself in social media. Do you think that you should have a separate Facebook account or page just for your business?

Yes Dianne ,
A Business Page might be a good idea for you. For one thing Facebook frowns on promotion from your personal page, where you can get away with more on your business page.
I actually have 2 Business Pages and run 1 group page as well. My primary Business Page is also in my on name and devoted more to free value than promotion. The 2nd is for a business I have and I barely even have my name on it. Each serves it's own purpose. Please reach out anytime I can be of help Dianne !
Regards !

Hi, Mike, what no vanilla coke............ looking at the online industry the folks that emerge at the top are the ones that concentrate on building that brand around themselves, finding their message and voice, then being consistent about promoting it. Thank you for sharing your insights in this tutorial.

Nicely written Mike. Thank you for sharing these valuable tips on branding ourselves and ways of keeping referrals and readers interested so they want to stay!

I too have experienced that Facebook, "BAM - In the face" technique. I'm with you on that... I HATE IT! It's such a turn off, lol. If they only knew!!!

Anyway, thanks again. I'm sure lots will get good use from your teaching. :o)

Thanks Paula !
Appreciate your taking the time to read and comment both !
Like I said, if I'm in the mood and have the time I'll try to teach those folks if they are willing to learn, lol, some too clueless to waste a lot of time on and some just didn't know better and can be helped.
Have a great weekend Paula !

Have fun Paula ! I have Ohio State playing a game that;'s way too close with Oklahoma right now ! I forgot how weekend intensive NCAA Saturdays and NFL Sundays (Steelers / Browns ) tomorrow can be ! What would I do if it was nice outside ?
At least I can multi task and work on the computer while games are on !
