[Social Marketing Tips] The 7 Universal Laws of Social Marketing Success & Profit

Timothy Carter — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 19:41:28 +0000

Do you know how to use Social Media & Social Marketing for success in your business? You will when you read and use these 7 Universal Laws.

There are lots of differing opinions about how to be successful with Social Media and Social Marketing, and whether it is worth it at all. To that end, here are the 7 Universal Laws for Social Marketing Success & Profit.

The Law of Relationship – This Social Media thing is all based on relationship. Gone are the days when you could just throw up a website, get some traffic and make sales, all while hiding behind your computer. If those days were ever really here at all…Social marketing is based on the relationship you have with your followers, prospects and customers.

The Law of Connection – People are hungry for connection in all it’s forms. They are just as hungry to feel a part of something greater than themselves. This a very strong part of human nature.

The Law of 80/20 – I see people blow this one all the time and they don’t even know how much it is hurting them. On any Social Marketing site you want to be 80% social and 20% marketing. Remember, it is all about relationship and connection. Do the relationship and connection part, and you will be able to market in Social Media. Do it not, and you will be ignored.

The Law of Belief - There are still many people out there, some of them big name marketers who should know better, who say that they do not believe in Social Marketing. This is a case where it is sort of like gravity, it does not matter whether you believe in it or not for you to be effected by it.

The Law of Reach – If you want to extend your reach on the Internet, then Social Media is the place to be. By strategically using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other Social Media sites you can greatly extend your reach so much farther than in traditional Internet Marketing.

The Law of Success – This arena is still very much the “wild west” and there is still time and room for you to be very successful at it in your niche. You can become a thought leader in your niche when you leverage Social Marketing properly.

The Law of Profit - There are those who still claim that you cannot profit in any way from Social Marketing or Social Media, much profit directly. I sure hope those folks continue to be my competition. And yours.

[Social Marketing Tips] 3 Deadly YouTube Mistakes and For More Traffic Do This Instead

Timothy Carter — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 14:18:40 +0000

YouTube is a great addition to your Social Marketing plan and a great way to drive loads of traffic. At the same time, their are lots of mistakes you can make that limit the amount of traffic coming your way.

Let’s take a look at 3 of the most common YouTube mistakes and what to do instead:

Mistake Number 1 – Failure to include your keywords in the beginning of the title of your video – When someone types in your keywords when looking for information about your expertise, the search engines send out little “electronic spiders” that search the Internet for the best information. When they come across your video and your keywords are not at or near the beginning of the title they pass you by.

What to do instead – You want to “front load” the title of your video with keywords. Ex: 7 Universal Laws for Social Marketing Success & Profit become “Practice Social Marketing Tips – 7 Universal Laws for Social Marketing Success & Profit.

Mistake Number 2 – Failure to have a call to action link in your video – I see lots of marketers go to all the work and time to create videos that leave the prospect hanging. How do they leave the prospect hanging? By not asking them to do anything next. You’ve given them great information, left them wanting more, and then there is no way to get it. Whatever know, like and trust you have built up in your video is lost when you leave your prospect hanging.

What to do instead – Say it and show it. Here are two ways to use a call to action in your video:

Say it - Tell them what you want them to do next. Make it clear and include a spoken link for them to go to.

Show it - Somewhere in your video, top third, lower third, somewhere, include the link for them to see.

Mistake Number 3 – Failure to include a call to action in your video description – In every YouTube video that you post you are allowed to supply a description of the video. This is where most people blow it with a description that goes something like “This video is about blah, blah, blah ZZZZZZZZZZZ” If your description is weak enough, the prospect might not even watch the video at all.

What to do instead – Turn your video description into a benefit laden invitation. Make sure you include the benefits the prospect will get from watching the video and a call to action invitation for what you want them to do next.

Still Think Social Media Is A Fad? Watch the Social Media Revolution

Timothy Carter — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:04:27 +0000

Surfing through YouTube last night, I wanted to see what people were creating content about “social media” recently, and I stumbled upon this masterpiece that I had to share with you. It truly captures the fundamental shift that social media has had on the way we communicate.

I contend it’s IMPOSSIBLE after watching this to still be of “the world is flat” mentality when thinking social media is a fad. Have you seen this video? What are your thoughts about the social media revolution?

[Social Marketing Tips] How to Avoid 3 Really Bad Blogging Mistakes in Social Media

Timothy Carter — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:58:21 +0000

Social Marketing is a powerful force for traffic generation, list building and creating online visibility. And your blog is a powerful part of your social media system. It seems like some people forget that their blog is a significant part of their Social Marketing.

Even when online marketers get how important their blog is, unfortunately many bloggers consistently make 3 really bad blogging mistakes. Let’s take a closer look at these 3 mistakes and what to do instead.

Mistake 1 – Failure to make your blog the hub of your system – Many people neglect the power of their blog in Social Marketing. This is a big mistake because your blog should be the hub of your system. You can communicate more clearly and you can communicate longer on your blog, and thus people spend more time on your blog.

What to do instead - Use a Wordpress Blog and hook it up to the rest of your Social Marketing System. For example, each time I create a new blog post, it is automatically announced on Twitter and Facebook. You can also set it up so that all your articles from EzineArticles and all your tweets from Twitter show up on your blog.

Mistake 2 – Failure to post often to your blog – I see so many people set up a blog and then rarely update it with new posts. When someone goes to your blog and you have not posted in a month, you are communicating that your blog is not important or relevant. It’s not likely they will be back.

What to do instead - There is just no excuse to post at least 3 times a week to your blog, and more would be better. There is just so much you can post: your tip of the week or day, recent articles or turn an article into a several post series, your own videos or ones you find valuable from others, invite guest bloggers. Get in the habit of posting new content at least 3 times a week.

Mistake 3 – Failure to “seed the tip jar” - Part of the lifeblood of your blog is the comments shared by readers. This is how your readers “share in the conversation.” If you don’t have discussions going on in the comments section of your blog then something is wrong.

What to do instead – First of all, invite readers to comment. Invite them right in the blog post. When you email your list or announce your new blog post on Twitter, Facebook and elsewhere, invite people to “share their comments and join in the conversation.”

Then “seed the tip jar” in your blog. You know how you will see a tip jar at a coffee house or a bar? Have you ever seen the tip jar empty? I bet not, because the owners have learned to put a bit of money in the jar to “seed the tip jar.” They are using social proof to get the behavior they want.

You can do the same thing by “seeding your blog comments with your own comments on your blog post. This one little strategy encourages others to begin commenting and join in the conversation.

[Social Media Marketing Tips] 3 Ways to Add Jaw Dropping Value to Your Message

Timothy Carter — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:03:11 +0000

Value Rules in Social Media.

Value is the KEY.

Value is the key to making anything happen in social media, whether you are in it for marketing, social networking, entertainment, or just for learning. But VALUE is the KEY to any successful social media experience.

Then…

There is what is call “JAW DROPPING VALUE.”

What’s that?

JDV (Jaw Dropping Value) is that EXTRA Value that is unexpected, unanticipated, and totally a SURPRISE. It s is Value in a product, message, video, training, blog post, podcast, or even event that delivers way beyond what is normal.

Ok.

HOW do you ADD Jaw Dropping Value to a message, product, or event? Well, there are 3 major ways that you can add JDV to anything you do, and we do it all the time and it truly works.

Here are three ways that you can add Jaw Dropping Value to anything you do:

1) Be Totally and Unexpectedly moving in a Direction that people are not expecting AND ARE BLOWN AWAY BY.

What does that mean?

Simple.

Take your message in a different direction and look to see what is NOT being done with your industry. Ask, “What holes are out there in my industry that needs to be filled and how can my message or product fill those holes?” JDV is a result of moving to a place that many are not looking for, and taking them to an higher level in life and their desires because of it.

We took a look at the holiday season and no one was doing a holiday webinar for home businesses. So we said, “GO!” and then we added twice as much content as expected, and blew people away last year, and this year is even bigger.

You can do the same thing-look for the holes and fill them.

2) Take Your Message or product or focus and at least DOUBLE THE PROMISE-and then DELIVER.

Wow. I can hear you saying that now. I cannot do that. Sure you can. But it takes guts and courage. That is how you set yourself apart.

Be bigger.

Be better.

Be bolder.

Be brassier.

Be Bodacious on occasion.

THEN DELIVER the goods and get a reputation as someone who does deliver and in a way that is bigger, better, and more Valuable than anyone else. A friend of mine in Texas did that. She is in Real estate. On her Activerain social site and in her ads, she said that if she could not sell your home within 21 days, she would buy it from you- GUARANTEED.

She has yet to buy a house. THAT really motivated her, and has taken her career as well as social media exposure thorugh the roof.

3) Give away your best material or freebies and then DOUBLE IT.

You read that right.

THAT will get people talking about you in a whole new way as that will virally market like a rocket. I know…you may be thinking that I just gave away my best stuff.

Wrong.

You just gave a sample of the current best stuff you have–but THE BEST—that has yet to come.

And they will be WAITING ON IT with baited breath.

You are SEEDING into the future and into the destiny of your career. And that is how social media works. Look at all the freebies that Chris Brogan or Scott Monty, or my bud John “Foggy” Fogg-or Jackie Ulmer- or Carrie Wilkerson- or Diane Hochman- or all the other social media talents out in the social sphere.

You can get some AMAZING trainings, ideas, solutions, little known info, brain expanders (thanks larry hochman) and much more for free-because that is what makes social media so special.

YOU GIVE- before you get.

What you are reading- THIS EXACT TRAINING (but a little more in depth)- I have taught in personal coaching in the past to the tune of 500.00 to 1000.00 an hour. What is it costing you today?

ZIP. NADA. FREE.

And I hope that it helps you add some serious Jaw dropping Value to what you are doing in your efforts in social media and social media marketing.

[Social Marketing Tips] How to Become a Twitter Rock Star Just by Tweeting About Life

Timothy Carter — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:43:45 +0000

Twitter is one of the most powerful Social Marketing tools for creating online visibility, driving traffic and building your list.

One of the most frequent questions I get from beginners and experienced alike goes something like this: “Now that I am on Twitter, what do I tweet about?”

That’s a really good question, since Twitter is about so much more than “what you are doing right now.” Here are four categories in which you can focus your messages on Twitter. Just be sure that in each one you go by the 80/20 rule: 80% social and 20% marketing.

Bottom line? What you tweet about is LIFE. That’s right, L I F E LIFE. Here’s what I mean:

L – Links – There are at least two types of links you want to tweet. One is links to things you have found interesting such as articles, videos, blog posts, something you found interesting, something that made you laugh, etc. The second type of link to tweet is links into your web world. You can invite people to your blog, teleseminars, audios, etc. Here’s the really cool thing: you can tweet links to your opt-in pages where they can trade their email address for more great information from you. I do this at least once a day.

I – Information – If you want to be seen as a Twitter Rock Star and dominate your niche, deliver information about your experts in 140 characters or less. There is no way you can deliver everything in 140 characters or less, so don’t worry about giving away the store. Share valuable information from your niche.

For example here’s one I often do “If you can write a 7 item grocery list, you can write a 7 tips article for more prospects, publicity and profits.”

Another way to tweet information is by offering quotes. You can choose a quote that relates to your niche or just simply one about life. A great place to get quotes is over at QuoteGarden.com.

F – Fun – One of the quickest ways to get ignored on Twitter is to be serious and business like all the time. Have some fun. As I said above you can tweet about things that make you laugh. You can also tweet about what you are doing or have done that day for fun, silly things that have happened, etc. You’ve heard the term “edutainment” right? This is an example of what it means.

E – Events – Are you holding an event? A teleseminar, webinar, perhaps a in person seminar? Invite your Twitter followers to the event. How do I know this works? I’ve held events and only invited people from Twitter and done quite well. Invite your followers into your world and what you are doing.

[Social Media Marketing Tips] The 5 Steps to a Social Media Avalanche of Customers

Timothy Carter — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:48:12 +0000

“Build it and They will Come!”

NOT.

Connection is the Nuclear Core of Social Media. But you MUST make an effort for that to happen.

Whether you have a social media home business, traditional bricks and mortar business, or an online business, you must get into the social trenches and connect and converse. It is that simple and that plain.

It is ALL about Connecting and creating a Magnetic Conversation.

But why are people NOT doing that?

Maybe they do not know this powerful 5 Step “Avalanche Process” for getting New Customers and KEEPING them.

You MUST connect with the social media culture. It is what marketing is about in social media. Some people think that this is anti-social media and they think they can broadcast their message and people will come.

Build it and they will come!

Don’t think so. Not in social media. You do not build ‘IT” but build relationships that can become doorways and then become customers.

Connect –> Conversation–> Value –> Doorway–> Customer.

Let’s take a quick look:

1) CONNECT.

This is where it starts. On Twitter.On facebook. On LinkedIn.On Youtube. On Orkut. On every other niche site there is that matters.

CONNECT.

Here’s a little tip:

Connect to those who are looking FOR YOU.

They will find you if you are visible, and accessible to connect to.

2) CONVERSATION.

Then the conversation starts. Talk about THEM and where they want to go. talk about what they want to talk about. Study their profile, pictures and videos. You can learn a LOT just by paying attention.

Then make sure that you STAY IN TOUCH and LISTEN when they are communicating. If you do, they will want to stay connected to you.

3) VALUE.

This is where you bring in the Magnet to Pull them towards your message. Show them Value in their life. Show them how your message can help expand, Increase, Enlarge and Improve their life. Do it through Tips and how to’s in videos and blog posts and podcasts. And yes, tweets and twips. Show them how you can make their life easier, or show them how to do something they want to learn. Show them how to BE or DO something. if you can increase their dreams, you can get them as a customer.

The More Value people perceive you have the more likely they will walk through the “Doorway”.

4) DOORWAY.

This is the Doorway to Conversion. You MUST convert prospects into customers if you are going to have any kind of business. That is simple to do.

Give them an offer they cannot say “No” to. That is the secret. GIVE first and then make it so compelling they cannot say “No.” We do it all the time. we just ran a social media special on our training products and it blew the roof off our shipping department. It has been a FLOOD of new customers and new orders.

All we did was give them an offer that they could not say NO to.

The SECRET is the first word:

GIVE.

Give away something they MUST HAVE. They will get it.

5) CUSTOMER.

Here is where they purchase your message, products, or webinar or event. This is the BEGINNING- not the end.

Here you must start building the relationship even more.

GIVE MORE than they expected. Throw something in for free they were not expecting. Give them a free download or ebook. Let them see a Private video collection.

ENCOURAGE MORE. Make sure that you send a note of encouragement and stay in touch with them.

THANKS MORE. Make sure they know you are thankful for their business and connection. We send out free downloads all the time to say thanks. And some people paid $$$ for in the past. Thank them in everything you do and they will come back for more.

Get your Customers ADDICTED to your Value, Message and Emotions. They will become more than a customer. They will become a loud speaker for you and tell everyone you know you ate the BEST at what you do

And that is what you want to happen in your home business or traditional business in social media marketing.

[Social Marketing Tips] Top Reasons to Build a Facebook Fan Page to Drive Traffic & Build Your List

Timothy Carter — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:01:24 +0000

A Facebook Fan Page is one of the most powerful ways you can leverage Social Media Marketing for more traffic and to build your list. Here are some of the top reasons to get this going today:

Reason 1 – Facebook is currently the number one Social Marketing tool on the Internet. At the time of this writing it is ranked by Alexa as the number 2 most trafficked site on the Internet, second only to Google. One of the first things I learned on the Internet is not cash traffic, but to find out where the traffic is going and get in front of it. Here’s a great way to do just that.

Reason 2 – It’s getting tougher and tougher to get someone to open an email. I may get kicked out of the club for saying that out loud, but it’s true. Lots of folks are suffering from “email fatigue.” Some marketers are even predicting the death of email by 2012.

OK, so how does Facebook help? Fair question, and you are gonna love the answer. When you set up a Fan Page and people become your “fans” (this is just like an email list) you can communicate with them often. Imagine what would happen if you sent 3 – 5 emails a day to your list. Pretty soon you would have no list, right?

Well with a Fan Page you can post to your page 3 – 5 times a day an it goes into the Facebook “stream” of all your followers (list) to read. And when it shows up in their stream all the people following them will see it as well.

So 3 – 5 emails a day would destroy your list, 3 – 5 posts a day on a Facebook Fan Page delights your current list and builds your traffic and your list as others see your posts and sign up.

Reason 3 – You can have unlimited amounts of Fans. Currently Facebook limits the amount of friends you can have on your Profile Page. But with a Fan Page you can have an unlimited amount of people be fans and followers.

Reason 4 – Because your fans can respond to your posts and even create posts themselves, you are creating a conversation and building a community. People are eager to become part of a community and you get to be the leader who they know, like and trust. And people do business with those they know, like and trust.

Reason 5 – You can freely market and sell. Straight marketing and selling is discouraged on your Profile Page and can get you banned. On your Fan Page you can market and sell. And not only that, you can market and sell to a community you have built.

3 Huge Lies Found All Over Social Media

Timothy Carter — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:44:52 +0000

YOU LIE!

Social Media can really irritate me.

REALLY.

These lies in social media that people are promoting daily that as far as marketing and social connections, have little to do with either of the two. I hear them on podcasts, see them on blogs, and view them on videos and each time I feel like SHOUTING to the roof top.

I believe it was Joe Wilson that shouted out “YOU LIE”during his speech. Well, maybe we need to take the Joe Wilson speaking course and shout that out at out social media folks that are promoting lies and maybe even are not aware of they are doing it. They may be just repeating what they have heard in social media.

One of the things I do, I consult companies- traditional and non-traditional- on marketing, social media, success, leadership, team building, home business strategies, plus other topics. And I could never take the 3 concepts that I am hearing and make it a part of any consult.

They probably would end up firing me.

And they would you too.

These “lies” are all part of the ‘i want to be known and be special” club. Listen up- it is ALL ABOUT you making OTHERS feel special- not you feeling special. if you are looking for a short way to kill your credibility in social media-go down that path. There are others that have and are now nowhere to be seen.

Ok…enough ranting.

What are the 3 Huge Lies that are found in social media?

1) It’s all about how many numbers of followers and connections you have to obtain social media star status.

I have found this one to be particularly irritating. First off- you make the person you are holding the conversation with THE STAR. YOU are not a star-but a star builder. And that is what you do. You build people up and make them the star in the process in your world. And do that enough and you will find star status if that is what you are looking for. I hope not.

It really sets me off when I hear about getting a huge numbers of followers. Here is the TRUTH— Numbers of followers do NOT equal business or success. It is NOT about how many numbers- but how many people in those numbers that are truly listening and acting on your brand messages,

I know a company right now that has less than 3000 followers on twitter and less than 2500 on facebook and this quarter they will do over 500,000 in business from social media. They have 3000 people that are talking FOR THEM and ABOUT THEM- and getting their message out. It is not about numbers- but how many are multiplying the brand message.

2) It is all about CONVERSATION.

Nope. You can hold conversations with folks and it be totally meaningless in social media. It may be fun-but as far as marketing or business- what has happened?

Not much.

It is NOT about Conversation- but Connection. People you are connected to emotionally and socially always hold a more powerful conversation than those that are not. Connection means you took the time and learned about them-connected to what they were looking for- and then held a conversation that was of VALUE to tha person. THEN you could talk in a manner they found engaging versus boring.

3) You must be on many sites and work them daily.

THAT is called stupidity as first off, you have not time to develop any relationships and truly get to know people. Secondly, you have OFFLINE tasks to do as well, and you would have not time at all for that.

Here is a tip: Get a base camp of about 5 sites that are YOU and you like the feel of them and the focus, and then start connecting and working hard to develop and move into that community. Then, after you have developed some traction with those sites- reach out and start expanding your social basecamp sites. I work about 10 sites and have for nearly 5 years. But I started with 2- myspace and classmates.com. (They were the only ones really around then.)

Work the sites to broadcast your message as well through software. You can get your message or url or blogpost or video out to dozens of sites- and broadcast it- with ping.fm. There are others-but that seems to be the most popular one.

These are the 3 Huge Lies that drive me nuts. Not that is really hard to do- but i wanted to scream “ENOUGH ALREADY- YOU LIE!” and graduate from the Joe Wilson school of social media marketing.

Gary Vaynerchuk Is Coming to Seattle to Crush It!

Timothy Carter — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:33:40 +0000

Cover via Amazon

A few weeks ago when Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee of Wine Library TV, announced that he was coming to Seattle on October 20th as part of this book tour for his first book, Crush It! I was really jazzed. Then when he asked me to rally the peeps in the Seattle area about him coming to town for Crush It…how could I refuse?

Gary Vaynerchuk coming to Seattle!

Gary was one of the first people I connected with on Twitter when I joined in early 2008. Why? Because Gary is PASSIONATE about what he does. You see it in his videos, you see it in his wine reviews, even his tweets on Twitter when he’s heartbroken after another New York Jets loss. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He has built an INCREDIBLE personal brand through that passion. Gary has been such a FORCE of passion in social media that he’s been all over TV. From CNN, to Ellen and Conan O’Brien, to the Today Show and many appearances across the country speaking about his passion and social media. His passion impacts people’s lives:

“Anyone looking to supercharge their career should beg, borrow, and steal to learn Gary Vee’s techniques. He reinvented the rules to build a $60-million business from scratch-on his own terms.” (Tim Ferriss, #1 NY Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek )

“Gary is a force of nature. His authentic, raw passion and caring touches everyone. His insights into social media & his message of opportunity could not be more timely.” (Tony Robbins)

Which is why it’s appropriate that Gary Vaynerchuk came out with his first book, Crush It!: Why NOW Is The Time To Cash In On Your Passion.

Here’s a video Gary made about why he wrote the Crush It! book:

Do you have a hobby you wish you could indulge in all day? An obsession that keeps you up at night? Now is the perfect time to take that passion and make a living doing what you love. In Crush It! Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion, Gary Vaynerchuk shows how to use the power of the Internet to turn your real interests into real businesses. Gary spent years building his family business from a local wine shop into a national industry leader. Then one day he turned on a video camera, and by using the secrets revealed in the book, transformed his entire life and earning potential by building his personal brand. By the end of the book, you will have learned how to harness the power of the Internet to make your entrepreneurial dreams come true. Step by step, Crush It! is the ultimate driver’s manual for modern business.

Gary Vaynerchuk also made a video blog post about the Crush It Book Tour Street Team that he was talking about the book tour. Gary mentioned me and Seattle while looking for other peeps to spread the word when he comes to their town. Here’s the video in case you missed it:

So I’d really love to see a BIG turn out from the Seattle Social Media Club community since Gary Vaynerchuk really is the definition of social media branding. As well, I’d love to see Seattle people who love wine and/or entrepreneurs who are looking for the path to cash in on their passion!
