Micro Blogging Has the Network Marketing Industry All A-Twitter

Art Basmajian — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:07:43 +0000

Micro Blogging is the newest Web 2.0 sensation, and savvy marketers are cashing in on the craze.

Why should the competition have all the FUN??

The best way to describe micro blogging is “text messaging on steroids.”

If Google is sitting up and taking notice of Twitter, Pownce, and Tumblr…then I’m on it!

I’m assuming you’re serious about your internet business or you wouldn’t be reading this, so let me explain what all the fuss is about micro blogging and why…

You, as a network marketer, can’t be late to this Web 2.0 “party”!!

If you check out alexa.com, you’ll find that twitter is the 904th most popular site on the entire internet. It’s been around for about 2 years and is a relatively new player which is exactly why you should be paying attention.

I did a site check on Google, and Twitter has 22.4 MILLION indexed pages. That means Google is paying attention, and if Google is sitting up and noticing, you need to jump on this opportunity to make it work for your business.

When you put your content related to your business opportunity on Twitter and other micro blogging sites like Pownce, Tumblr, and Jaiku, Google’s spiders follow…your pages will get indexed…your properties will rank…and you’ll make more $$.

SHOW ME HOW TO USE MICRO BLOGS!!

So…exactly what is micro blogging? Think about how many times a day you ask someone, “What are you doing right now?”

Sites like twitter.com let you connect with potential prospects in very short blurbs (under 140 characters) and it can be done from your cell phone, from email, Instant Messenger…quick, to the point, easy. They get to know you and trust you.

Imagine what this could mean as far as FREE leads to your business!

It’s tough to get people’s attention today!

They’re bombarded with media, their email boxes are stuffed, and they’re stressed for time. Like MySpace when it first broke out, Twitter allows people to become your friend or subscribe to your RSS feed…quick, easy, to the point.

According to my friend “Black Hat Web Marketer” Howie Schwartz, internet marketers using MySpace to promote their businesses are finding it more difficult because it’s getting saturated as opposed to its early days when there was little competition.

MySpace is dying…Twitter is the new MySpace.

Listen, the internet is like a woman playing hard to get…difficult to pin down, next to impossible to guess its moods, but oh so rewarding when you give it what it wants. How you market on the internet depends on how Google is feeling. You have to learn to read its moods.

Money is made on the internet early on before your competitors jump in on the action. You have to take advantage of these hot, new stars when they make their appearance.

My team knows about these things because my business depends on “getting to the party” first…

Serious Entrepreneurs Make Money Using Social Media Without Being a Jerk

Art Basmajian — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 05:46:52 +0000

If you’re a Serious Entrepreneur who’s been involved in Internet Marketing for any length of time, you’re learning that using social media is a great way to promote your business for free.

The problem is…unless you know what you’re doing, you most likely are doing it incorrectly. Pissing off people who thought they were your friends.

That’s because you’ve now been branded as a SPAMMER!

Online social networks are one of the blessings of Web 2.0. Plenty of people use them to stay in touch with their friends, meet new people, make work-related connections and more. Unfortunately, it seems like you can’t have something good on the Internet without someone coming along to abuse it, and that’s as true of online social networks as anything.

I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA THE RIGHT WAY

An Internet property is basically any kind of web page, and any Internet sites that allow people to people interaction are considered online social media. Web 2.0 is another term referring to sites that in some way allow people to actively contribute rather than just passively read from it.

A blog is Web 2.0 (for the blogger). Facebook and MySpace are Web 2.0. Flickr and Twitter are Web 2.0, and social bookmarking sites are all Web 2.0.

As internet marketing involved, people figured out that they were able to promote their businesses for free using all these types of properties and thought, “Wow…Free… Cool!”

Problem is that it’s not cool!

Social media a broad word that encompasses many kinds of sites but there’s an online etiquette that dictates which web 2.0 sites allow you to have a slice of the Internet property for yourself and your business – without ticking off the wrong people and causing you to lose your reputation as a serious entrepreneur in the network marketing industry.

Let me explain it this way:

It’s the weekend…time to forget about work, catch up with old friends, possibly make some new friends. So you go to a party. You’re having a great time. Then someone comes up to you, introduces himself, and immediately tries selling you on some business opportunity.

How much of a turn-off is that? That is exactly what happens when you use certain social media sites for purposes they are not intended.

And if you’re involved in affiliate marketing, beware…owners of the products you are marketing as an affiliate do not take it lightly when you promote their products on sites like MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. And they are increasingly shutting down the accounts of affiliates who act like jerks and don’t play fair.

And pleading ignorance is just plain ignorant!

So if you’re just learning how to use these sites to build your business, I want to share a video from one of the most brilliant marketers alive, Perry Belcher, who has MASTERED this realm.

He’ll give you the perfect approach when it comes to using social community sites to grow your business. If you’re using ANY of these sites, watch this video. It is probably the best explanation of how to make money with social media that I’ve ever seen.
