So Have You Put any of My Advice to the Test yet?

Greetings from a blustery September day in NJ! Well that was a FAST summer! I got the kids to school last week and well now looking at my pool saying...oh joy...have to close it now :-( I am wondering of all of you that have read this blog and have followed my gibberish since June, did you get anything out of all this? Have you tried to implement what I wrote all summer (well ok I skipped July) and have you noticed a difference? You see the other key to all this social networking stuff is to also be yourself but always convey a sense of leadership. In other words, I see alot of people out there that in one breath they say "I am brand new in internet marketing but I have stumbled across this GREAT new business and I would like you to join my wonderful team!" Now, let's look at that sentence above for a moment. You know what that sentence screams to me?? "I haven't a clue what I am doing and I was led like a sheep into this business and fed this script and they told me I would get hundreds of signups" Did you see that too? Why, oh why on this earth would you tell someone in an AD that you are new to internet marketing...then say I found this great new business and please join my wonderful team..??! Do you really think anyone would want to sign up or join a business WITH you if they are looking for someone's HELP? Do you think they would want a new person in internet marketing to help them? NO they want a leader, someone that has some experience...or at least conveys those qualities! Here is what a novice internet marketer might want to say instead... "My xyz business has not only generated income for my family and I but also our team has helped many people understand how to market successfully on the internet. Come take a look and I am here to help if you have any questions." That's a bit more palatable to someone that is looking for not only a business on the internet but also they are looking at the person that is inviting them to this new venture and want some support. It did not say that they were new on the business, it spoke about how they were generating income and are working with a team that basically can help them too. That's an inviting statement. Better make sure you have that team in place however and you are not being misleading. Then everything I just spoke about WILL blow up in your face! I hope that was helpful to you...it popped into my head a few moments ago and I had to come in and post it. Have a good one. - Laura
