iConnect and Engage Facebook Club…Three Smart Chicks say, “There’s Got To Be a Better Way!”
Connecting, Engaging, Collaborating & Leveraging on a Global Level…The Collective Intelligence is the New Expert.
Won’t you join us as we connect globally through Social Media?
Years ago we talked about the “Three R’s” and their importance to our educational system. They were acknowledged to be the foundations of a basic skills oriented education program within schools: Reading, wRiting and aRithemetic.
Wikipedia says, “The phrase is attributed to a toast given by Sir William Curtis around 1825. Since its original creation, many others have created new words for what the R’s stand for.”
Today, we have the four R’s. Real. Relevant. Relational. Revolution. And these are important to our integrated health that includes our physical, psychological, and spiritual selves.
- Real – Life is fast paced. Ironically, there exists among people a deeper desire to slow down, be present, and be real…to live more authentically
- Relevant – People want to experience compelling dialogue and conversations about anything and everything.
- Relational – Real & Relevant conversations lead to enduring, long-term relational exchanges. It is not only important to have a connection with others, but to sustain it.
- Revolution – Real, Relevant, & Relational all lead to a Revolution in the positive sense.
A revolution (from the Latin revolutio, “a turn around”) is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time. (Wikipedia)
There’s a REVOLUTION happening…and it’s with the PEOPLE. When the people rise up to claim their personal power for the good of all, the SHIFT happens at warp speed. It’s time to CONNECT GLOBALLY!
We’ve hit a tipping point. Governments can no longer control people because they can no longer keep them from communicating with one another due to the internet and the systems it allows through FB, Twitter and other social media. Once people can no longer be kept from communicating with one another, you can no longer “control the message.” The truth prevails! A SHIFT happens!
The intention behind the launching of our Facebook Club, iConnect & Engage is so simple.
You can’t hate someone whose story you know. Get to know one another and it’s nirvana. That’s why “There’s Got To Be a Better Way” is our mantra.
It is imperative that we reach out and connect to one another…it is a matter of choosing to thrive vs. survive How we engage one another, how we collaborate, and how we leverage our talents as a collective whole can create a shift in the blink of an eye.
It doesn’t matter from what country you hail. It doesn’t matter what you do. It doesn’t matter what language you speak. It doesn’t matter who you love. It doesn’t matter what kind of home you have…or don’t have. It doesn’t matter what gender you are. It doesn’t matter if you own a company or stay home with the children…plus it doesn’t matter if the “you” who stays home is a man. We may be different in some ways, but in the ways that truly matter, the differences disappear.
A human is a human is a human. People want to connect and express themselves in more authentic ways. And people want to make a difference in our world.
Social media is a great vehicle for engaging a global audience, whether it’s friending on Facebook, tweeting on Twitter, linking on LinkedIn, or sharing real, relevant & relational videos on You Tube that start a Revolution.
Let’s REACH…Reach out to one another and lift up one another.
Let’s share our dreams with one another. Let’s Reach for our Dreams! If we don’t, who will?
Our intention is for iConnectEngage to bring you the global connections and engaging that you desire.
Our combined talents offer a collective intelligence and the New Expert! The value of diversity cannot be underestimated. It is fertile ground in which to play…and it inspires us in the way that communicates, “Together, we are better!”
Cindy King ROCKS! “How To Connect Globally with Social Media” is her blog post initially carried in the Social Media Examiner. Cindy is an amazing expert on cross-cultural marketing. Through our iConnect & Engage Facebook Club, we want to be the experts on providing a platform and environment for cross-cultural connecting and engaging!
Smart Chick Clare Kelway says,
Grab your cup of coffee and come relax. No hyping. No pitching. Just Connect & Engage with us in a safe environment and invite your friends from around the globe!
One part of Cindy’s post outlines the cultural differences in how people respond to social media. She cites the expertise of four culturally minded social media players who look at four areas – Engagement, Hesitation, Networking, and Shyness. She examines how these impact people differently, depending on where they live. Although our focus through our iConnect & Engage Facebook Club is not on marketing, this information is still good for us to consider as we invite people from other countries around the globe to “connect and engage.”
Remember, we just launched this week. A little help from our friends would be greatly appreciated! People don’t often realize “what” they can do or “how” they can help in any situation, and yet are delighted to do both when they understand a direct request. So…here’s our wish list of requests! 
I have a personal philosophy of “I have the right to ask, and you have the right to say ‘No.’ ”

Want to Build Your Personal Brand? BusinessCard2 Digital Business Card, The Only One You Will Ever Need!
YOU are unique, authentic and amazing…yes, each one of you reading this blog post! Whether in your personal life or in your business, YOU have some special talent. People love to hear one another’s stories.
That is really what BusinessCard2™ helps you create. Your personal branding business story. It enables you to develop both your UPB (Unique Personal Brand) and your UBB (Unique Business Brand). Bottom line is that BusinessCard2 is your unique business card on the web…and it’s FREE MARKETING!
Branding YOU First is the process of marketing yourself and your career as a brand. It matters not whether you are a SOHO Mobile Professional (S mall O ffice/H ome O ffice)…a Fortune 500 company person…or an Entrepreneur who owns a local brick and mortar business (small or large). The BusinessCard2 platform is designed to assist in your self-packaging, providing a web container built to hold all the things that make you digitally distinct (your name, your image, your knowledge, your collateral, etc.). As a Global Digital Consultant in the Mobile Media & SOHO Revolutions, I firmly believe that being digitally distinct is important to YOU and to me, and that positively utilizing technology is invaluable to our businesses as we commit to personal brand market and management and relationship building through using state-of-the-art social networking technology and services.
The commitment you make in order to utilize the free marketing provided by this card is your time and energy, and this is not free. The end result, however, can more than pay off, and is integral to your marketing. You must carefully craft your communication so that others grasp your uniqueness, vision and brand. My intention is to bring value by showing you how to utilize social media strategies to explode the impact of your PWC (Personal Web Container) and transform your entrepreneurial passion into profits…and success!
BusinessCard2™ provides your own UPB & UBB ”branding” billboard. Just use the “embed” code and place it on your company website, personal website, or blogs. I also enabled the “chat” feature so that I can communicate with people as they view my digital business card.
BusinessCard2™ provides badges for using on social networks, websites, and blogs.
Additionally, BusinessCard2™ provides a unique URL, (mine is http://DottiBerry.businesscard2.com), where your BusinessCard2 is located on the web, allowing you to use it in Email signatures, Forums and Comments, and Blogs & Social Sites. Following are some additional ideas that will explode your business.
- Here’s a new twist. Use this unique URL, leading to an electronic billboard, and print it on the traditional physical business card! You can also take your unique URL and make it into a short url for using on FB & Twitter with your posts. I made mine into http://xr.com/DottiBerry . (Just go to http://xr.com and make yours…stats track how many times people click on it). I use this short url system for creating short urls about articles, blog posts, and upcoming webinars. The possibilities are unlimited.
- How about this? Talking to a potential client on your cell phone? If it were me, I would text message them http://xr.com/DottiBerry after we hung up. Or…if we were texting, I would just send that link to them. Remember, the possibilities are endless.
- Targeting customers with a mobile marketing campaign that carries a special offer? Lead with short url, taking them to your digital business card that contains the offer? Click here if you missed my post on power of the the mobile media revolution. The amount of information BusinessCard2™ allows you to store is amazing. You can store all your professional information, making it accessible by thousands of customers, prospects, and partners. You can connect with business partners, build relationships, and even find a J-O-B (if that’s what you want!). Use your unlimited imagination to create unlimited marketing opportunities with BusinessCard2.
- Tired of your Facebook profile picture and not sure what new one to use? I employed my PWC as my profile picture on FB. I’m sure you are wondering how I did that, knowing that html code can’t be used as a FB profile pic. That’s true. I used a tool called Snag-It to create a jpeg of my PWC along with my unique url http://xr.com/DottiBerry
BusinessCard2™ says. Here’s how we immediately help you with your personal brand :
- BusinessCard2™enables you to frame your digital persona in a personal brand package. This is where YOU are a spokesperson for YOU.
- BusinessCard2™offers you and your prospects a central point to control and access your clear, consistent and compelling message.
- Self-promotion with BusinessCard2™
- Although we all sell products and services, what our customers buy is US. Thus, great professionals know how to sell themselves.
I hope you are beginning to better understand the value available through utilizing your PWC in communicating your UPB and UBB.
I was listening to Bill Rowland speak this morning about the future of mobile media and the beginning of a technology curve. . He sold his last company 2 years ago for $108 Million. They were the premier provider of high-quality professional marketing and contracting services to the telecommunications, cable and energy industries. His remarks are great reminders and offer profound insights, connecting with me on a cellular level.
If you want to manage someone, learn to manage yourself. People aren’t drawn to authority, they’re drawn to leadership. A leader leads by example.
Here’s a real life example of using this BusinessCard2 to provide great content and value (an amazing video on how leaders inspire action) through posting it on Twitter and Facebook like I just did.
great video. http://xr.com/LeadersInspireAction. check out free digital biz card http://xr.com/DottiBerry
BusinessCard2™ says…
It has become important that each of us becomes marketers of our own personal brands. However, it can be difficult promoting yourself without looking self-promotional or coming across as smarmy or selfish. BusinessCard2 enables you reveal yourself to prospects, customers and partners in a way that is both tactful and helps you achieve your professional objectives.
As a leader, I personally want to be transparent in my interactions and conversations with people as I connect, engage and collaborate…the three essentials of my coaching and consulting. I call these “essentials” because it is these aspects that allow me to mutually leverage relationships. BusinessCard2™ offers me a compelling way of doing this by allowing me to be transparent with my business values.
Your PWC also helps me to ignite your business through utilizing precise and targeted social media strategies. An effective PWC will assist me in transforming your passion into profits. That spells S-U-C-C-E-$-$…online and offline. You can participate in this paradigm shift in business models (the first in my lifetime outside of franchising). Imagine utilizing the mobile media revolution by taking your unique PWC url, turning it into a short url, and texting it to the person with whom you are texting and speaking via phone!
I believe we are experiencing the first paradigm shift in business models (outside of franchising) in my lifetime. I see the transformational changes happening in the world-wide economy as positive ones. I believe that the Mobile Media Revolution is igniting the SOHO Revolution and offers unlimited opportunities for individuals.
Roby and I took a year-long journey across America in 2005/06. Our intention was to engage hearts and minds, create authentic connections, and dissolve differences that separate us. That core intention drives me in business as well. BusinessCard2™ helps me market my commercial authenticity by inventorying information about me and deploying that data to inform and educate my potential clients. It can do the same for you.

How do you connect through Social Media?
How do you engage though Social Media? How do you relate through Social Media? Everywhere you look there is either a tweet, an article, a teleseminar, or a webinar about developing your Social Media presence...from Facebook to LinkedIn…from You Tube to Twitter. Each one is a little different, but there is a common thread.
What does developing your Social Media presence really mean?
Here’s the CORE Essence of all of them. The bottom line is that through utilizing engaging questions, each medium has the opportunity to lead to Collaboration & Fun!
- Connect - Friend them or they friend you on FB, Follow them or they follow you (or both happen) on Twitter, Connect with them on LinkedIn and share your profile and vice versa. Make a video, share a video, subscribe & follow their videos. Notice I said “Connect,” not “Pitch your product.” Very important to understand this basic concept. It doesn’t mean you can’t post on YOUR wall what you are into regarding life or business. After all, it is YOUR wall… but do not go to their wall or send them an initial message with your pitch. This applies even when it is for the starving children in Africa or the people of Haiti. Connect FIRST with no agenda other than to do precisely that…Connect! If you do this, you will have enough friends to call upon when there is an opportunity to help others through a specific tragedy or non-profit, without relying upon pitching people you don’t even know.
- Openly Engage – If you never go from connecting to engaging, you really aren’t actively engaging (there’s that word again) the value of social media (notice I don’t say “power” here…the “power” is in the value). Ok, I am as guilty of this as anyone. Although I have less than 1000 “friends” on FB, I am telling you I don’t have the time or energy to “engage” with that many! It is sort of like the reason I don’t choose to have affairs. I barely have the time and energy to properly cultivate and nurture my relationship with Roby, the love of my life. What makes me think I can distract myself with affairs and legitimately stay connected to my spouse? No moral judgment here. Just the practical aspects. Ok…I have gotten off track here a little (not much), but I think you get my point. People are out there scrambling…often to indiscriminately build their numbers as fast as they can so that they appear to be a “happening” chick or dude. Why? Because some “guru” told them that is what they need to do. Well…I am not claiming or aiming to be a guru (I’m a Diva, after all!), but I do consider myself a human being committed to connecting and engaging…a human being who had two things confirmed during our year-long journey criss-crossing America in 2005/06.I take the following from one of our pages on our website. Two basic human yearnings seem universal and were consistently reflected across the diverse spectrum of people we met throughout the country…no matter their sexual orientation, gender identity, political persuasion, socio-economic status, religious affiliation or lack of one.1) People want to live authentically…there is something inside each of us that yearns for that, because to experience authenticity with self and others means to be known at the core level and in turn to know others in a similar manner. It allows you to live a life of MORE with more authentic connecting and more authentic engaging.2) People truly want to make a difference in our world – someway, somehow…and we search to find those connections which resonate with and impassion us.
There are many programs telling you how to build your list on autopilot. Is that what you really want? I can supply those for you if you do (who am I to judge if that is the “right” or “wrong” way.) Here’s my take on it. I agree that the more people you connect with, the greater is your opportunity to find the gold nugget of connection within those numbers, and the more likely you will be to engage with people with whom you are truly aligned. Perhaps that is how I need to view those systems. If you only have 10 FB friends, you might think “This FB isn’t any good at all. I don’t have anything in common with these people.” Do we have another chicken or the egg theory happening here? Comments, anyone? The real point to understand here, in my humble opinion, is that the “gold” is in the authentic engaging…it’s the value received from the give and take created by synergy with a person. So…what do I suggest? Use this phase like dating…throw your cap into the ring…shoot the ball (an ex-coach for women’s basketball at the University of Kentucky can’ t help herself from using these metaphors). What I know is that the more you shoot, the greater your chance of scoring, especially if you put the ball above the rim! Commit to this process of engaging and you will discover common ground with someone along the way. That’s what you do in any off-line relationship. You look for common ground during the engagement process (wow…is that why they call the phase before “marriage” an engagement?). The bottom line is that this common ground will lead you to #3 – Relate
- Relate – YES! This is where you BUILD your Relationships. It doesn’t happen overnight and the beginning moments are often filled with excitement. Post excitement, you might stumble a little, have to regroup…perhaps even issue an “I’m apologize”… or even discover that this relationship is not empowering. Cut it off! Don’t allow it to continue just because you “slept” with them. (this is a metaphor, folks!). If the foundation of your relationship is not dysfunctional and contributes to you finishing an interaction saying to yourself, “Wow! That felt great and I feel energized,” then keep it up. Remember that you can feel energized even in the space of having difficult and challenging conversations. The building of your relationships is an interactive, dynamic and fun process…enjoy it!
- Enthusiastically Leverage & Collaborate through Collective Intelligence – This is where the true value and power of this “Collective Intelligence” that I refer to as the new “Expert” begins to manifest. Leveraging the relationship & collaborating together in a positive manner is Nirvana! Here’s my bottom line. 4 eyes…4 ears (for Listening) and 2 mouths (for speaking, sharing ideas) is better than 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 mouth (me by myself). 16 eyes…16 ears, 4 mouths is better than the solo effort. 256 eyes, 256 ears, 16 mouths is better than MY solo effort. Social Media is allowing the PhD person discovers there’s common ground with the person who never attended college…the person with 30 years of experience in an industry discovers that the everyday person has some answers and solutions for the questions in business that are plaguing their business…the single, divorced Mom with 5 children, in small town, USA discovers there’s common ground with the single, divorced Mom with 5 children in India. You get the picture. All of these represent situations that in the past might never have happened. Our new technology and the internet that supports this Social Media Revolution is AMAZING!I am a person who enjoys connecting, engaging, collaborating, and T.E.A.M.WORK (Together Each Associate Matters). I am your associate in life, and you are my associate in life. Yes, I choose to work from home. That doesn’t mean that I choose to live a solo existence, unconnected to people and the world. I know that I am fed by connecting and engaging with others, and I appreciate every day the value of Social Media in that process. It leads me to ask,How can we shift and transform our world and make is a better place through utilizing this CORE essence of Social Media?
Ahhhhh…another QUESTION! I hope that it provides food for thought. I don’t have the answers (to anything in life), but I sure have lots of QUESTIONS. I remind myself that the questions are what lead us into inquiry and conversations with one another. The questions allow us to share our stories. We began each newsletter on our year-long journey with this line, “You can’t hate someone whose story you know.” Questions lead to inquiry. Inquiry leads to shared stories, and feeling heard. Stories lead to connecting. Connecting leads to openly engaging. Engaging leads to building relationships. Relationships lead to positive leveraging and collaboration. How much better does it get than that?
One of the best ways to tie all of this together is through a free tool, BusinessCard2, that you can get at Brand You First. This picture below illustrates the power of this amazing tool. Experiencing BusinessCard2 is one of the best ways to understand it. See my digital branding billboard below. Imagine updating one vehicle (BusinessCard2) that translate through all social media as you share your link or embed code on your blog or website.
Here’s a valuable update to this post…a link to recorded webinar I did with Lief Larson, developer of BusinessCard2. This will help you understand what you “don’t know you don’t know” about branding, marketing and promoting YOU via the internet and global marketplace… and what it means to “operate in the cloud!”
You…and I…have a unique responsibility that is a gift. And if we give the gift of connecting, openly engaging, relating and enthusiastically leveraging and collaborating through our collective intelligence and talents, the gift of who we are will just keep on giving and we will have FUN together!
- Never forget the powerful words made famous by Helen Keller, but first originated by Everett Hale.

BRAND…BLOG…BUILD…BANK
The following are Coach B’s 4 Essential B’s! Isn’t it time you discovered how to utilize them?
- BRAND
You must know and understand your UPQ. What’s yours? Are you leveraging it? Ok, I envision you scratching your head and saying, “What is UPQ! Let’s back up. Yes, I acknowledge that Branding is one of the 4 B’s. In fact, I see people talking about branding YOU all over the internet. Most of the time, however, they are talking about branding you as a leader, making you think you can be the next internet Guru. Well, guess what? Everyone is NOT a leader, but everyone is UNIQUE and everyone is a PERSON. This is the first part of the equation…UP. Each of you is a Unique Person. So what’s with the Q? Q stands for “quotient.” Merriam Webster online dictionary says that “quotient” is the magnitude of a specified characteristic or quality, i.e <the celebrity’s likability quotient is high>. I am referring to “quotient” as defined in this way. For my purpose of getting you to consider what your UPQ is, I am talking about the magnitude of your Unique Person status. That translates to discovering, defining, and calculating your UPQ so that you understand the magnitude of your unique person status.
- BLOG
Creating your own personal blog is as easy as reciting your ABC’s…if you know HOW! Blogging and utilizing organic SEO can build your business lightning fast…yes, quicker than any other method. You can distribute articles and videos, all linking back to YOUR BLOG with YOUR EXPERT STORY! - BUILD
One of the best ways to BUILD LIGHTNING FAST is by utilizing a S.Y.S.T.E.M. (Save Your Self Time Energy And Money) that offers you ongoing training. I can easily miss a lot of details, so I make sure that I have SYSTEMS in place that allow me to think in visionary ways, and help you and others do the same. I don’t choose to reinvent the wheel. I keep my creative juices flowing by choosing better wheels as I discover them and greasing the current wheels with my own creative spin.The best results, both offline and online, old school and new school, are manifested through building relationships and connecting with people. I have coined Age of Influence Marketing (tm) to describe this process. It is precisely what I utilize to build businesses today. The term captures and represents what I believe is a paradigm shift that is creating the first new business model in my lifetime. Remember, just because we all aren’t in the same business doesn’t mean we can’t choose to be on the same T.E.A.M (Together Each Associate Matters)! There are a myriad of ways to collaborate! Collaboration & Teamwork fire me up! Let’s do it together! Age of Influence Marketing (tm) utilizes Collective Intelligence, which I have dubbed the new “EXPERT” in today’s market, lending itself to this collaborative process, and is readily available due to technological advances such as the internet. Crowdsourcing, a new term for an ancient process, is an arm of Age of Influence Marketing (tm) that is being employed by businesses, connecting this new “EXPERT” of Collective Intelligence globally. That’s why I love coaching people in learning how to use innovative and new ideas to evolve into their Millionaire Self, representing their choice to experience Financial Freedom. - BANK
BRAND, BLOG & BUILD Your Business Lightning FAST & Take it to Your BANK!
Isn’t that what you truly want to do? What’s stopping you?
79 MILLION PEOPLE (Forbes) will start their own business in the next three years. That is both staggering and the wave of the future. Do you want to ride the wave, or miss out on it because you won’t get in the water, or you get in the water without a surf board, or you refuse to use the surf board under your arm when you do get in the water?
I know what some of you are thinking. I can body surf! Sure you can…many of you have destroyed your body in an attempt to ride the wave by yourself (Getting in the water represents a choice to choose to have your own small or home-based business. The surf board represents Collaboration & T.E.A.M.WORK).
My suggestions?
- Choose to operate a small or home-based business. The tax laws in most countries reward you greatly. Do your due diligence and choose one! I can tell you in five minutes exactly what your financial benefit would be, no matter what business you choose. Contact me if you are interested in having me run a no cost analysis. (contact info under “Work with Coach B” tab)
- Choose a good surf board (Collaboration & T.E.A.M.WORK). Have fun doing a little body surfing, but don’t rely on it as your sole source for riding the waves. I applaud you for choosing to enter the water. That is a great initial step. I can tell you, however, that choosing only to body surf will cause you to miss out on a lot of experiences and bigger waves that could have taken you further than you ever imagined!
Here’s the bottom line...people do business with people they know, like and trust. If you use your UPQ BRAND to attract people in your niche and willingly share free, valuable information and insights that offer solutions and benefit your loyal following through your BLOG, they will be more than happy to purchase your services and products when the time is right for them. In fact, they will say, “How can I work with YOU?” You will easily and naturally BUILD your business. And you can take that to the BANK..Your Bank!
Positioning yourself and acquiring the proper skills will determine whether you ride the wave to success through the 4 B’s or if you miss it altogether.
BELIEVE you can be ONE of those 79 Million People…and be SUCCESSFUL at it! It is your Attitude that will determine how well you utilize your surf board, once you have selected a good one! It will mean going out to catch a new wave, time and time again, after falling off your board. Just dare to ride another wave!
Yes, it’s about PROGRESS...not Perfection. When you dare to dance on the edge, and then take a flying leap off, trusting that you will either fly or find solid ground, you will look at CHAOS (a necessary element for shifting, changing, evolving and transforming) in a whole different light. You will welcome it as if it is gold! (And, truly it is as you BRAND, BLOG, BUILD & Take it to Your BANK!). You will also find yourself saying, “That was E-A-S-Y!’
Brand YOU First & Discover Your UNIQUE, EXPERT Story. Carve out your niche market through your UPQ. Having a good Coach can help you accelerate how quickly you accomplish this.
Why Mike Dillard and I are Concerned about TIVO?
What is TIVO???? The Information Very Overloaded Club!
I discovered that Mike Dillard and I share this common
concern and wrote an article for Better Networker,
addressing how to turn information overload into an asset.
The problem is that TIVO is a CLUB because YOU
and many others have joined unwittingly.
Just answer this question…
Do YOU feel VERY OVERWHELMED due to
Information Overload?
Yep…I thought so.
The truth is TIVO is probably not a Top Elite Club which you
would consciously join, nor one of which you are happy
about being a part…
and it’s enough to make you
see RED & feel Angry!
Information Overload is a HUGE PROBLEM in today’s society.
The next, and most important, question is
“What are YOU going to do about it?”
At the end of December, I took stock for 2010.
I resolved to Launch a NEW BLOG…yes,
WONDER WOMAN BLOGGER is committed to
fighting the CRIME of Information Overload, MLM Hype,
& Failure in Network Marketing…
It’s been in the works since the first of January and I will be launching it
any day now (Changed to DreamHost…has been a DREAM!)
Check out this video…it explains everything!
What timing!
Speaking of Mike Dillard…
Guess who I’ve got for our Wednesday
evening webinar, March 24, at 9:00 EST?

How Do YOU Turn Information Overload into An Asset?
This is the Million Dollar Question!
The fact is that all online marketers experience feeling overwhelmed by information overload. I hate to deliver what you might believe is the bad news, but INFORMATION OVERLOAD NEVER STOPS (unless you quit doing online marketing, and then it simply attacks another part of your life).
The key question to ask yourself is, “How Do I turn Information Overload into an Asset vs. being overwhelmed by it?” › Continue reading
Plug-ins & Widgets Critical to Promoting Your Blog Content
Feeling Overwhelmed?
Let’s use K.I.S.S. (that’s Keep It Simple Stuff).
Bottom Line? Plug-ins and WordPress Widgets are the FUEL & DELIVERY SYSTEM for promoting your blog CONTENT.
It’s not either/or…it is both/and.
Yes, you need
- Good CONTENT (remember…it’s progress, not perfection!), and
- FUEL (plug-ins) that fires up a Great DELIVERY SYSTEM (wordpress widgets)Can you imagine trying to “eat” without food and without a delivery system to get it to your mouth? In general, there are lots of foods (plug-ins) out there to fuel your body, but without a delivery system such as your hands, knife, fork, spoon, etc. ((widgets) you will not experience the exquisite art of eating (having people experience your content)! Get my drift?
The point here is that you need a way of Feeding your CONTENT from your blog to PEOPLE (yes, they are humans…not just “internet traffic”…how cold!) so that PEOPLE on social networks and other blogs receive the VALUE from your words of wisdom, service, product, or business opportunity (whether traditional, mlm, direct sales, network marketing…offline or online).
You literally want to send out your content to people across the diverse array of networks via facebook, twitter, hubs, digg and others…and attract people back to your blog. When that happens and you have the honor and privilege of getting to know those individuals better (and perhaps the opportunity to be of value and service to them in some way), you will have experienced an aspect of attraction marketing. Thank you Mike Dillard! (He is, after all, the Godfather of Attraction Marketing).
