Success vs. failure with social media

That’s right. Don Crowther — the Big Kahuna of social media… and the guy who created the breakthrough social media training program SMARTS — just posted a free, new video called “Social Media Doesn’t Work.”

Now, I must admit, when I first heard about this video, I was flabbergasted. I mean, what in the heck is the world’s #1 expert on social media doing bashing social media? Has he lost his marbles… or has he just seen the light?

Turns out it’s neither. You see, Don readily admits that for most people social media doesn’t work. And the reason is simple: it’s because of a costly mistake that most social media marketers are making right now.

…a mistake that will doom your social media efforts to failure.

And a mistake that explains why so many are saying, “social media doesn’t work.”

The good news is, on this eye-opening video, Don shows you the deceptively simple, but highly effective secrets that can turn it all around and let you finally start making money with social media.

These are the same secrets Don, his clients and his students have been using to rake in millions of dollars using social media to market their products and services.

And here’s something else: Don is also going to give you a downloadable worksheet that shows you in just 5 minutes precisely how well you’re doing with social media. You’ll quickly discover whether you’re wasting your time, or are on your way to making serious money.

Believe me, this video and worksheet are crucial if you want to find success with social media.

Enjoy,

Crowd Conversion 2.0

Yeah I know—you’ve probably been hearing a lot of people flapping their jaws lately about their super whiz bang methods of using Twitter or the like to rake in the dough.

But what they do NOT tell you, is often they are using questionable black-hat methods, or other temporary strategies that just won’t last for the long haul.

Frankly, I was pretty skeptical about this too. That is, until I saw the results they were getting…

Phenomenal Results—Extremely Ethical

Crowd Conversion 2.0

I mean this guy has built his network to almost 300,000 people in just one year.

If you know anything at all about traffic generation or list building, you’ll immediately recognize how important this is to your business—especially since the strategies being used don’t cost a cent, AND are shockingly effective.

Do yourself a big favor, and take a few minutes to watch the short video on this page…

This Is The Real Deal

Convert your Crowd!

I promise you’ll discover at least eight things you can start doing on Facebook right now, that will dramatically impact your business—and by that I mean astounding profitability.

After seeing how consistently reliable this is, I’m already doing this, and you should be too.

To your success,

Michael

A little while ago, I purchased Ryan Deiss’ Facebook Ad Power. What a refreshing change to all the other BS that I have seen in other “training” courses of so called guru’s of Internet Marketing. Straightforward, to the point, and information that you can actually use!

Ryan’s Facebook Ad Power is one ot the best traffic training courses I have seen. He has already updated the info to make it even more current!

I know as a marketer we are supposed to put some kind of “urgency” in a post like this but the only urgency I see you need with this product is “It’s great info” and a real value for what the course costs. He has however taken it off the market once and may do it again. Why?

Ryan says that he simply doesn’t want too many people to ruin his best traffic honey hole.

Here is a link to his video (if it’s still up)

Facebook Ad Power video

The free video alone is nothing short of eye opening and a great lesson in video marketing.

Ryan explains SO many ways Facebook is better than Google, you’ll be shocked.

OK, so you know you want a website that works for you but there are soooo many options available. What do you do? It is a difficult decision but with the time constraints that we all have on us, don’t you need a site that will work for you instead of you having to spend hours and hours updating your site with updated modules, software updates, etc. That take away from the time that you could be aactually promoting your site and making sales! QuanSite may just be your answer!

As of last night, there are only a handful of QuanSite launch Special sites available. I told you that they were limited and they are. Only 18 were left last night. There may not be any left now but I wanted to get one last post in while you still have a “chance” to get some of the bonuses that are available. Get started with a trial for less than $10! Hard to beat that price for a website, blogsite, optimized video with your own video branding! Don’t kick yourself later when the bonus sites and training are GONE! Here is the breakdown that we received last night.

- 9 QuanSite Essential monthly memberships
- 2 QuanSite Pro monthly memberships
. 4 QuanSite Essntial annual pre-pay memberships
- 3 QuanSite Pro annual pre-pay memberships

Now, I know many of you may be sitting on the fence right now, not knowing which way to go. Get you QuanSite NOW while these bonuses are still available. This is NOT a marketing gimmick trying to create urgency with the owners knowing that they will keep the doors open longer to squeeze more sales out of the site. If you know JP and Coach Deb at all, you will realize that that is not how they operate. I’ll leave it up to you to go to the Invite page listed below to see which package you are ready to try, but don’t wait too long cause they will be gone soon!

If you didn’t get there in time for the bonuses, no worries, the “regular” packages are jam packed with all you need to make your business site rock! and they are a great bargain even at regular price!

When was the last time you wrote a blog post in your niche that got to the 1st or 2nd page of google in less than 10 minutes. I’ve done it 3 times in the last 3 weeks. A test last night for a fitness post I did even outranked my friends domain name! and in less than 10 minutes! I’ve never seen anything like it. Almost like magic. Take that $9.97 trial and see for yourself! but Do it now while there are (maybe) some launch specials remaining!

Here is your link QuanSite

The Right Mindset Makes It Easy To Make Blogs Work For Your Business

Blogging is taking off like a wildfire. People are blogging about just about anything you can think of. From the daily routine of their cat, to technology reviews, to politics.

Until the blogosphere sorts itself out and matures a bit more, it may be difficult to tell exactly how this new frontier of instant publishing can help you and your business grow. But don’t worry – you’ll start getting a flood of new ideas in
the coming months.

For now, the most important thing you can do is develop the right mindset about business blogging. What you think about something, and how you strategize applying it in your business very often has more to do with success than the
technology, tool, or resource itself.

With that in mind, here is the most important thing you can do. Keep your eye on people.

DO NOT get stuck on the “technology.” That’s what drove all the pie-in-the-sky dot.com dreamers into the financial abyss. It’s people and personal communication that matter most, and should always be a the center of all your thoughts, strategies, and actions. A managed site lite QuanSite can help you stay focused on content instead of technology!

Blogging is just a tool. But it’s a tool that can and should become a major support arm of your business. Why?

Because it exponentially multiplies the world’s oldest, most favored, and trusted form of information sharing — word of mouth.

Just ask yourself, whom do you trust the most to give you advice, recommendations, and information about opportunities, purchases, or choices? Someone you know and trust, right? Someone who you feel is just like you.

That type of trust comes from personal communication, social interaction, and the joining together of like-minded individuals. Blogging simply magnifies and expands that sense of community and more personalized communication, and then expands the reach across the entire world!

Link trust; with respect, positioning, and word-of-mouth and you have the makings of a powerful marketing arm that can initiate an ever-growing stream of highly targeted prospects.

Remember, it’s the relationships that matter most. Keep your eye on that fact, and you’ll always have the right mindset for business blogging that’s a benefit for you and your readers.

Wow! The new QuanSite updates have been applied to all our older Blogi360 accounts! The new look and feel of the updated dashboard is phenomenal. Just had to stop what I was doing and make a quick blog post about it! I love the way it is designed to make it easier to use. Everything is located in a central location that makes navigating the site a breeze. Hopefully, I will get a chance later today to more fully investigate all the new stuff available.

If you have been sitting on the fence about getting your own QuanSite, now would be a great time to at least join the “Secret Society of the Quan” by going to the QuanSite link in this post or any of my numerous other tweets or Facebook posts. This is truly a system that can help you manage your business online in a more productive manner. It costs nothing to become a member of the “Secret Society of the Quan” and will at least give you insight to all the available options that are available to all the members!

Finally, there is a working site that WILL work for you!

As one of the owners of a “brick and mortar” business as well as a budding Internet Entrepreneur, its interesting to see all the “different” ways the “Guru’s” in the Internet business come up with to get new customers.

I have been lucky enough to be able to work with my Father in our business for the last 25 years. Undoubtedly, one of the BEST marketers that I have ever met.  Nothing, and I mean NOTHING has ever been to “over the top” for him.  He even rode a bull during a Rodeo event that we sponsored as a fund raiser for the local Fire Dept. People still talk about that years later! I have come to the conclusion that marketing is marketing is marketing.  It doesn’t mater if you are creating blogs, capture pages, videos, writing tweets, posting on MySpace or running newspaper ads, having giveaway promotions, running specials, or even riding bulls. It is ALL the same! It’s building relationships! While certainly there are many many differences, when it gets down to the bottom line, it’s “what kind of impact” can we have on others, that will make them want them to do business with US!

There is a tremendous amount of competition in the Internet world as well as in the brick and mortar world. We happen to be in the grocery industry. If you think you have a lot of competition in cyberspace (and we all do) try being a small independent grocery retailer going up against WalMart or other regional or national chains. Competition is good. It makes you better. Online marketers need a way to differentiate themselves.  To stand out from the others. Make yourself a leaders. How do we do that. We have to find a way to serve. We serve in the retail world by having products that our customers want at a competitive price. We (our company) serves by still taking groceries to our customers cars. Yes, it’s a little old fashioned and costs us a considerable amount in extra wages, however it also “differentiates us from the Mega stores. We give better customer service. We have to in order to survive.

Online, we have to serve as well. Become a giver instead of a taker. Take the time to answer that question someone posts, give them a URL to a site that will help them, help them learn a new skill. All with NO AGENDA! I have been involved in the network marketing business for many years. I’ve always had some moderate success but never become a “heavy hitter”. One may ask why I still love network marketing if I’ve never made a huge amount of money in it. The MAIN reason? I have friends all over the country. Some going back nearly 20 years, that I would have never met, if not for network marketing.  I’ve built groups the old fashioned way and online.  For me all this social marketing, Web 2.0 stuff is simply networking. It’s just relationship building taken to the next logical step.

Learn your craft (and there is a learning curve). Don’t jump in and oversell every contact you get in your inbox. That would be like me following customers around in our stores and putting an extra rib eye in their cart. I don’t think they would appreciate that. Help them, learn from them, establish a relationship. Let them know what you do of course, but let them decide how they want to do business with you.  I love to show our customers how much better our rib eyes are and we will cut them just like they want. Establish your niche, show how you do it better, and they WILL buy. Then, they are your customer for life! I’m still doing what I did 20 years ago. Building relationships. The ONLY difference is, we now call it Web 2.0 or Social Media Marketing, and we do it online.
