Should we STOP trying to make money?
My name is Kevin and while I an NOT new here, I have just been absent for a while, but I am back now and will try to stay more active!
Anyway, I wanted to start a conversation abou t what we should be focused on when it comes to Social Media... And I think this will be most helpful for those starting out now trying to make money online... I know I wish I has a plan this simple...
OK, so have you noticed that just about EVERYONE, in Internet or Network Marketing, using Social Media is always trying to SELL, SELL, SELL?
Well have you EVER, even just once bought from any of these people? I know I haven't!
So here's the point...
We should all be trying to "BUILD OUR AUDIENCE".
The problem with too many, unfortunately, is they are CHASING THE MONEY, the way a "drug attic" chases a high. Always chasing the dream, so they buy a some "Internet Marketing" course that will, "REALLY" this time, show them how to make CRAZY AMOUNTS OF MONEY...
And they think for about 15 minutes what their life will be like when they are rich and then they do nothing... OR, DO EVERYTHING BUT THE WRONG WAY... And say "nothing works".
But think about this...
What if you just STOPPED right now trying to make money... Yeah I know it sounds "looney" but hear me out...
...STOP trying to make money and just try "MAKING FRIENDS!" Building an audience of thousand's of people that KNOW, LIKE & TRUST YOU! These could be people on Twitter, Facebook, or any other channel... That you will be able to FUNNEL ANYWHERE YOU WANT...
HERE'S THE KEYPOINT... "ONE DAY SOON!"
And you kept growing that audience.... DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD EVER HAVE A PROBLEM SELLING SOMETHING EVER AGAIN? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Think "Oprah" without the paparazzi. Or, if you hate the spotlight like me, think of it like being the "Concierge" at a high class hotel with all the "hook ups".
So that the solution BUT the problem is you will NEVER have an audience that big if all you do is SELL, SELL, SELL!
And its NOT just about the numbers but instead is about the relationship you have with the people that make up those numbers.
So to wrap this up and bring it home...
FORGET ABOUT MAKING MONEY! BUILD YOUR AUDIENCE AND THEN YOU CAN SELL THINGS IN EVERY MARKET/NICHE AND YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST DOING IT!
HINT:: I added more followers yesterday on Twitter then I do using "Automated Tools"... JUST BY by tweeting cool stuff. And my Twitter is setup to automatically update my Facebook. And yesterday I had a total of more comments on my "status updates" yesterday, then I have had since I opened this account 3 weeks ago (yeah I have had an account longer BUT I screwed up when FB let's us do the whole "unique url" thing on the wrong account... >>>TANGENT SORRY!).
Now, for the people who have that "tweet" that runs all day long about "BUY MY STUFF OR BUY THIS PERSONS STUFF"... Please don't go out there and find 3 funny things and add it to your rotation. This does NOT work unless you RESPOND & INTERACT with your audience.
But I can tell you this... Once you have your audience you will never have to SELL, SELL , SELL again!
Thats my 2 cents for today... Social Media is starting to grow on me and once I decided to say "screw making money for now"... I ACTUALLY STARTED MAKING 5x THE MONEY from my Social Medai efforts!... lol
I hope this helps someone out there and if you have any thoughts I would love o hear em'...
Again I love the Warrior Forum and I sure learned a lot from you guys when I was getting started and I'm pumped at coming back now that I have such a deep understanding for how everything works now... So now I can wrap with you guys that were way over my head and probably still are but at lest I will know what you mean... lol
Kindest Regards,
Kevin DaSilva
P.S. If you STOP trying to make money for now, and first build your audience... Then you can now build that audience in a market of people that you actually have something in common with vs. trying to sell the same things to the IM crowd that every other person is pushing.
Just find cool people that are like you, build a relationship and then once you have a great relationship go join affiliate programs for the stuff you think this audience will like...
AND BOOM YOUR MAKING MONEY BY TALKING ABOUT STUFF YOU LOVE AND TALKED ABOUT ALL THE TIME ANYWAY!
