As a matter of curiosity, Les, what does a typical day look like for you?

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the encouragement. I certainly hope I can find the right track and the right work balance sooner rather than later.

Wow Julia,

It seems you are super organised and have become super disciplined. Without developing those skills I don’t see how anyone could make it work.

Your approach may well, in the future, compare with all the foundational groundwork and massive amount of posting done by Sean Mize to ezinearticles that, ultimately, kicked started his path to…[Read more]

Yvonne,
Very good post…something we all need to remember. What you’ve said would be like a motivational speaker or a preacher deciding not to deliver his/her message because someone else just did something similar. Nobody EVER is the same. We are all totally different people, with different things to say and from a completely different…[Read more]

I also think it’s helpful to remember that resistance to anything new is real.
Biologically, we are wired to resist change and yes, I’ve seen in my own life where it seems like my own body is against me.

I can’t think of one live course that I’ve taken from Sean where I didn’t get sick.
Big time resistance to change – and I know that about…[Read more]

Before I give Step 2 I want to emphasize that my focus here is on “free” traffic.
In other words – paying with your time instead of your dollars.

Also, if you focus and get things done while in FB and don’t get sucked into your feed, it does not take that much time.

My biggest time chunk was outlining my ideas and writing quick posts to…[Read more]

Very well said. When you look around and see people doing something similar it can cause you to put on the brakes.
It has done that to me before.

I try to remember that my ideal client is so much like me.
We run in the same circles.
We’re learning from the same folks.
Reading the same books, articles, etc.

It’s only natural that someone else…[Read more]

Very wise strategies and helpful to others and yourself.

Since I’ve been home sick I have been checking my work outlook to help with solutions remotely which is serving the Patients and helping the Patients do their jobs.
I have also become more active here on he Forum and look for those I can encourage and thank for encouraging me.

As always Bruce wise advice,

That is one of the problems with groups like this, (or at least it is for me) I get carried away asking questions when Google and YouTube are always on hand and with a little research will usually deliver what I’m after.

Very helpful, Julia, especially because you offer a specific getting-started (or starting-over) plan. Also appreciate your reminder about the “social” aspects of Facebook – so easy to get caught up in the marketing and lead-generating that it’s easy to forget the importance of socializing – even more important with FB’s upcoming changes.

Thanks Julia, I’m watching for when you add more. Looks like a great approach to the ‘social’ scene.

Anytime I want to know something Les, I Google it.

I read perhaps a dozen results. Maybe more. It depends on how disparate the opinions are.

When you start seeing everyone say what everyone else has said, then you know that you’ve probably read everything.

The next step would be to watch some YouTube clips about what FB pages ought to look…[Read more]

There’s a lot of nasty bugs going around, Robert.

I’m into my fourth week with a virus. At least I’m sleeping all night now, but for three weeks, I didn’t get much done.

And now, I have to get caught up.

It’s as you say, you get all psyched-up, and then you’re sent back to the locker room.

Hang in there.

Hi Les,

I think a lot of what is being said and folks are trying to sell is hype.
FB and the rest are all about making money – But for little folks with a budget I think there are ways to get traffic.
Post often, Make a fanpage or group, visit other forums and groups and engage without spamming of selling (just help)
I am looking into more ways…[Read more]

Thank you Julia,

Seem like whenever I really get psyched to actually do something – something like this bug stops or slows me down.
I will get it do perhaps little by little and with such helpful folks like you and the others hat have responded I am sure to succeed.
I wish you the very best of success!
Robert

Scott,
I have been in bed since Friday afternoon, But I did want to say how brave you are and transparent above your story.
I have a few I’ll share when I am feeling better – but I just did not want to wait to mention how much you taking the time to give such a thought out response means to me. It gives me hope for me.
Thank you & God Bless,
Robert

Hi Sean,

Getting involved in other FB groups where possible future customers/clients need help would seem like a logical starting point.

But what should my own FB page look like nowadays?

It was several years since I built a fanpage and over a period of about a month I added content in the form of Comments, Memes, video clips etc etc.

I added…[Read more]
