Mass Traffic! Social Media!

Using Social Media Marketing In New Ways Is A Necessity!

A few months ago, I was speaking to a colleague of mine about how social media marketing is changing. I’ve known this for awhile now, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. The same old way of marketing online doesn’t work anymore. I have also noticed that the “gurus” who once used to be the kings and queens of sold out programs are searching for a new way, too, because they know if they don’t change that they will have to give their crowns to those who do.

Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but I think you know what I mean.

Social media was started, and especially Facebook, with a couple of college guys needing a place to meet, network and socialize with each other on-line. We all know how that grew into a huge networking community that has grown beyond their wildest dream. The key word here is “networking”!

Social networking is not going away anytime soon; therefore, we have to embrace and change with it or lose out on clients that are looking for our products and services.

The biggest problem I see with social media marketing right now is everything that used to work is no longer working. You can’t try to sell a class, a program or even a free tele-class and expect to get lots of people to sign up who are eager to buy. People are getting smarter. They don’t want to be taken advantage of with promises of big payoffs and successful businesses that don’t become reality. They are looking for a return on their investment!

So what now? How do we navigate social media in this ever changing environment? First, we have to let our real personalities show through everything we do and say. Forget about putting on the face of someone else and acting and doing what others do. Let’s change it up!

Originality is the name of the marketing game now. We have to market to others as we want to be marketed to ourselves. Sound familiar? Will that new real personality infused marketing approach appeal to everyone? NO, but that is okay. Not everyone is your ideal client.

The new ideal client wants to know that if they sign up for a program and do the work asked of them that they will see results. Smoke and mirrors won’t work in this business any longer.

Lets say, as an example, that you sign up for a course because the person you have been following and listening to for awhile sounds very interesting, and you feel like they might be the perfect mentor to teach you X,Y and Z. So you sign up for their program, and guess what? They are not at all like they seemed or you perceived them to be. Now what? It’s not pretty, believe me!

So I ask you….

What can you do differently today to market your business? What would happen if you decided to infuse your own personality into your marketing? Would it be scary, or would it be freeing?

The only way you can know for sure is to try it.

Verdi – Simon Boccanegra / Elder, Sidhom, Borowski, Glyndebourne Festival Opera $11.00 In one of those Verdi works for which “grand opera” is almost too tame a description, Sir Peter Hall’s 1998 Glyndebourne staging achieves true epic status in the story’s political conflicts, while also grounding itself in the intimate relationships of the main characters. This approach works wonderfully well, both in the opera and for video viewers, since the close-ups come across better on TV scr…

The Notebook $3.70 When you consider that old-fashioned tearjerkers are an endangered species in Hollywood, a movie like The Notebook can be embraced without apology. Yes, it’s syrupy sweet and clogged with clichés, and one can only marvel at the irony of Nick Cassavetes directing a weeper that his late father John–whose own films were devoid of saccharine sentiment–would have sneered at. Still, this touchingly i…

Gosford Park $6.96 Gosford Park finds director Robert Altman in sumptuously fine form indeed. From the opening shots, as the camera peers through the trees at an opulent English country estate, Altman exploits the 1930s period setting and whodunit formula of the film expertly. Aristocrats gather together for a weekend shooting party with their dutiful servants in tow, and the upstairs/downstairs division of the clas…
