Thanks Leslie, great questions.

I’ll tackle them one at a time before moving on to part 3.

1) I don’t want all my best stuff just getting posted within FB groups for all to see, I want my best stuff to be reserved for those joining my list.
I think the days are gone when you could give people just a taste and it would be enough for them to s…[Read more]

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]

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.

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 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]

Hi Bruce,

I get what you say. And to be honest I don’t think it would be wise to try and become expert or be “over” lots of Social media channels.

I have read that 4 is plenty. Now those 4 could be big boys like FB and Youtube…or smaller Like tumblr or Pinterest. Medium is obviously smaller, but could still be useful as it has proven to be for…[Read more]

Hi Sean,

I have a least one dormant FB fan page I made a few years back, that I could resurrect. But do Fan pages work anymore?

Or do I have to open another type of page?

As you can see I am totally out of the loop about how FB now works business-wise. That’s probably down to the fact that I’ve never really got my head around FB being the…[Read more]

Hi Steve,

Audience is always tricky, no matter what your niche.

I firmly believe that your audience – your clients – determine your niche; not the other way around.

Terry Dean told me a long time ago – I interviewed him – that hardly anyone ends up in the same business that they first started, and I think that this is why.

Initially, you sell…[Read more]

Robert,

I feel for you. I know how a stressful day job can leave you feeling like you just don’t have anything left at the end of the day.

My advice to you would be to use the information in the training area starting with;

Introduction to Creating a Blueprint For Your Business

And get clear…[Read more]

Bruce- You’ve got a lot of good advice in this thread but something nobody has mentioned is your email subject lines. If people don’t open your emails to read them because your subject line doesn’t get them to want to see what you’re going to say, the whole email is worthless. If you spend as much time figuring out exactly who your audience is,…[Read more]
