Social Media for Busy Entrepreneurs Who Gotta Get Paid!
Last week’s email entitled, “Don’t Be Fooled by Social Media” struck a nerve with a number of my readers. I would love to hear your thoughts about this topic by posting a comment at the end of this blog.
I plan to continue the conversation on this week’s edition of Strategy Sundays. Feel free to invite your friends.
Topic: Social Media for Busy Entrepreneurs Who Gotta Get Paid!
Date: Sunday, June 27th
Time: 9pm-10pm EST
Dial: 718-290-9983 pin 149924#
If you are anything like me, you don’t have the time to just send out tweets and engage in witty FaceBook conversations. I’m talking to the people who are so busy pursuing their dreams that Farmville and Mafia Wars are interesting games that “other” people do!
I heard a speaker say, “If I can’t make a dollar then it does not make sense!” This is my mantra when it comes to Social Media. There are tons of experts who understand the social media tools but you need to be driving the strategy.
Social Media can help you to:
– Conduct research
– Create a product
– Establish your credibility with testimonials
– Connect with potential vendors, employees or investors
– Get featured in the news
– Build a database of qualified prospects
– Convert prospects into customers
– Make money quickly! (I like this one)
I plan to discuss the following Social Media rules on Sunday night:
1. Own your words online
2. Create user id’s that are benefit driven
3. Use an affiliate program to partner with others and attract followers
4. Understand why people are really paying you money
5. It’s all about list building
6. Automate! Automate! Automate!
7. Develop a sales letter
8. Create digital products
9. Serialized compelling content in 140 characters
10. Use video to influence and persuade
11. Collect massive testimonials
12. Mobility or else
13. Hire an expert!
14. Establish a customer tunnel
15. Good web design should lead to action
16. The need for momentum and urgency
17. Where’s the BUY button?
18. Who owns the intellectual property?
19. Social Media is the servant! You are the Master!
Go ahead and post your social media rules to this blog.
