20 years ago, there was no Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook. People didn't get their news from Twitter; they got information from nightly talkshows or newspapers. Times are a-changin' and they are a-changin' fast. The key is to ensure that no matter the platform, you are delivering valuable and captivating content. You're moving away from merely generating a list of random people who opt in to something...to creating quality leads using Inbound Marketing concepts.

Every person has a book in their heart. When the book comes out, you feel liberated. You don't carry it, it carries you. It is your anthem; it is your message to the world. Your book is everything you want to leave behind. Even if you die, your book will outlive you. If you become famous, your book will become famous with you. If your book becomes famous, so will you. Frankly, I think every business owner should write one.

Lead generation is most likely the thing that people want to get most out of authority marketing. Media is the key method of getting a message out to an audience. In this day and age, it is important to realize that owning media is a lot easier. Before, you had to buy ad space in the newspaper or wait for a tv host to ask you for an interview in order to get space on the media. Now you can buy a website domain for cheap and control everything that gets put on it.

Branding is typically used when referring to companies. Today, I want to talk about what it means to have a personal brand and why it can be more useful than a corporate brand.

People cannot relate to a company. They can only relate to other people. Companies also have a lot of competition -- people, not as much. And finally, individuals are seen as the leaders or authority on a subject. This is why personal branding is important.

There are SIX direct response marketing principles that have to be applied to social media marketing or you might as well set your money on fire (as most companies do).

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and others are all great media for you to use to market your product or service.  While they may not ALL apply to you, I guarantee at least one is an oil well waiting to be tapped and if you don’t do it, one of your competitors will!

And they all make it really easy for you to get started.  Like immediately. BUT…that’s where most people go wrong.  In your haste, as entrepreneurs, to get things going especially on platforms that make it easy for you, a lot of mistakes are made that can cost you thousands of dollars, or worse yet, make you think that “Facebook doesn’t work for my business” just because your initial campaign didn’t work. 

Sounds simple, but I can tell you now there is a whole lot more to keeping your customers engaged than what meets the eye.

We say this all the time; there will always be someone who responds to your marketing efforts. Always. But that doesn’t mean your efforts are making you MONEY.

So, how can we make sure we get optimal response and maximum profits?
