brand even if you represent another business or brand… treat it that way! P.S. Please get a professional headshot. Your speedo picture from 1970 may be funny to your friends, but not to a potential million dollar client.
4. Post a Description of Your Link – I am not going to click because you said to? Especially when your post says “Greatest Tip Ever” and the link says ”Greatest Tip Ever.” If you can’t tell us why you think we should read it (in your own words), then we probably won’t. Tell us why we should read this article and why it’s important to you and us. You are just one of hundreds, if not thousands of articles we come across in email, blogs and social media every day! Personalize it with your own spin on the concept, even if it’s controversial.
5. It’s Not About You, It’s About Your Audience -Teach or Tell me something PLEASE. If all you want to do is sell what you have, then please call me so I can hang up on you. If you want to edu-tain, or info-tain us then we will pay attention. We are more willing to listen to your message and give you attention if you give us a nugget or a takeaway we can use. Give us a reason to pay attention to you. Just shouting at us is going to get the opposite reaction that you are expecting! Even if you didn’t like Cracker Jack… you still eat it for the prize!
The point of this post is we are all part of a bigger picture. The more we can help each other, and help others, the more it gets us to a place where we are relevant and respected. If all you want to do is hawk your wares… I believe there is still flea markets out there. Good luck with your copied DVD’s!
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments.
