I’ve had many people ask me how online marketing differs from in person marketing.  The short answer…

It doesn’t!

Why would I say that?  Just like in person, when you are using social spaces online to prospect (market your business), you are dealing with real people.  Many people mistakenly think that they should conduct themselves differently online than the do offline.  That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Many times in my trainings, I’ve said “If you wouldn’t say or do it offline, don’t say or do it online”.  The next time you feel the need to scream at everyone you know on social spaces about your wonderful business, STOP!!  THINK!!  Ask yourself…would I do or say this in person?

Shouting about your business online is like jumping on a table in the middle of a party and yelling about your business.  However, if you set up your profile properly, you can be the interesting person who everyone wants to ask about their business.  People will come to you and ask you to tell them more if they like what you’ve set up on your profiles.

This is why a clear, concise, “About Me” statement on your cover photo is so important.  It’s also important that you learn how to properly repost photos so you are not sending people to the sites of other reps when you post them.  There are many, many ways you can go about setting up your profile so when you do go out (on social spaces) and socialize, people will come look to find out who you are and what you do.

Two words – NAKED THERAPY – Yup…that’s what I said.

There are so many people without jobs and claiming they “just can’t make money in today’s economy”.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again.  It’s all about finding something people will pay for.

I turned on the Jeff Probst Show this morning and he had a “Naked Therapist” on the show.  Naked therapy?  I was appalled but had to see what this was all about because this woman is saying her business is BOOMING.

She is claiming that she helps men through their “issues” by getting naked on a webcam when she talks to them.  However, she let the show tape the beginning of one of her sessions.      When the “session” started, the guy had real issues he wanted to talk about.  She took off her clothes and all of a sudden he says he has no issues.  He is all of a sudden a “Happy Camper”.  And she honestly thinks she is helping him.

I’m not here to address the morality of this “therapist”.  I am here to tell you that if you think outside the box and roll with today’s trends, you CAN make money.

People do not pay for things they NEED, they pay for things they WANT. 

There is not one of us who NEEDS a huge TV that takes up half of a wall.  That is something that sells.

There is not one of us who NEEDS the latest gaming equipment.  That is something that sells.

What does this mean for your business?  STOP thinking of marketing to people who you think NEED your product or service and market to people who WANT your product or service.

According to http://downrightnow.com/facebook, facebook has been experiencing a service interruption since 5:33 am this morning 12/14/12.

Apparently this outage only applies to the regular website and not the mobile version.  Mobile users are still able to get on.

I will report more later as more details become available.

UPDATE:  Apparently anyone using Frontier for DSL is unable to connect to facebook.com and has to use m.facebook.com instead until they fix the issue.  It appears that other ISPs are able to connect.  More info here.  Call Frontier to report the problem so they get it fixed ASAP.  800-921-8101

I have quite a few programs to help entrepreneurs build their business online using social spaces.  The majority of them give generic trainings.  After learning the material, you must take what you learned and put it into specifics for your company or business.  Many  have had a problem with this.

So…I developed the half hour to 45 minute strategy session for those who just need a little nudge in the right direction and the VIP day for those who need more one on one help.

Quite a few people have said that they would love to do a VIP day, but they just can’t afford it right now as they aren’t making much money from their business.   I can completely understand where they are coming from.  I’ve been there.  Here is what I’m doing for those people:

For the month of October, 2012, I am doing a group coaching.  We will have a private facebook group where you can get all of the specialized help you need.  We will do up to three calls during the month to answer any questions participants may have.  This will be similar to what you would get in the VIP day, but will not be one on one.  It will be done in a group.  This allows me to help you for a much lower cost.

I will only open this group coaching to a limited number of students to make sure everyone gets the help they need.

What does this group coaching cost?  $247 (Only $147 during Fall special) and that includes the 6 module social networking course, the private group coaching and the coaching calls during October.

Here is a test for you…go to your facebook profile.  NOT your newsfeed.  Facebook is the most popular social space so we will test with this one.  Sign in and click on your name in the top right.  Look at statuses that you’ve posted that come up on that first page.  How many statuses have “likes” and comments?  Now look at those who liked and commented. Are they your prospects or your business associates?  If they aren’t your prospects or if there aren’t many likes and comments, you NEED this coaching.

How much more time will you waste floundering around on social spaces?  Find out how to use them properly to build your business.

To join the private coaching group,

or

click here to make 2 payments of $127 (2 pmts of $75.97 if you sign up during Fall special)

After payment is made, please go to http://www.facebook.com/roxannegreen1 and make sure we are facebook friends so I can add you to the private facebook group.  Expect to hear from me within 24 hours of payment.

If you have already taken the 6 module social networking course, email me privately for a discounted price.

I do not know when I will do another group coaching as they are very time intensive, so get in on this now.   Stop struggling and start making money.  Isn’t that why you started a business?
