Social Marketing Equals Distance Blinders and Cyber-Masochism?
March 12th, 2008Most, if not all online business owners, are always on the lookout for ways of getting more website traffic and earning more from their social marketing efforts. Stands to reason that a good social networking and marketing campaign should equals more visitors and revenue. And it can be done realistically via the vast number of media streams available, taking advantage ethically of all there is to offer using Web 2.0 methods. But heck – you have to really know what you’re doing and annoying as it may be – it’s here that a majority of online business’ go wrong.
At times, it’s hard to imagine that all these social marketing techniques will sink in and become second nature – and small wonder, because as soon as you’ve learned one set of social marketing skills, it’s about face and there suddenly appears, as if by magic a new method of doing things that makes all else obsolete. Why do we follow these five minute wonders and distance blinders? Do we enjoy this cyber-masochism, beating ourselves up and using our money on often useless tools? My guess is – yes, as we all fall over ourselves to get more of it. Guilty as charged!
We’re done with following the five minute wonders like a lamb to the slaughter. Done with buying into the never ending jargon and products that don’t deliver the goods, you know the type – they look good from a distance and last 5 minutes. Well OK, it’s not fair to be collective and paint each of them with the same colour brush, as some have real products with substance, but let me say from experience – they are not in the majority.
Our reason for giving up on the distance blinding five minute wonders? Simple. We’re tired of trying to make a buck here and there, we want to build something that’s going to last – not a here today gone tomorrow kind of business. Substance that’s what we want – don’t you?
That’s why we joined the ranks of those that are serious about establishing an ethical, long lasting business online and for the first time, we actually got results – after only 5 hours of being a member, and putting one of Jack’s idea’s into action – we got results. After struggling for so long, we have to say that getting results feels – oh so good. It motivates, inspires, energizes and gives back a feeling of ‘I’m not stupid after all’.
And that is what we feel Jack Humphrey is all about – he knows his social marketing stuff and he truly does, what he doesn’t know – probably isn’t worth knowing. Apart from that – he’s easy on the ears and explains things in an easy to understand way, says it straight out and you may not like what you hear, but that’s one of the beauty’s of being a member of Jack’s outfit – constructive interaction with members.
There is so much reading stuff in the membership area, we can’t even begin to explain what there is to read, learn, listen to and see on video and not forgetting the members forum, where there’s a huge amount of information, that used in the right context will help any member establish themselves online for a very long time. Moderators and forum admin know their stuff too, he’s got himself a good team – it’s a real pleasure reading through threads and seeing that people are actually getting results from using these social marketing techniques.
Any one with an interest in learning how social marketing is really done can join – heck at the time of this writing you can even join for $1 for 3 days if you want to test the waters. Without wanting to sound cheasy, as this is as far away from cheasy as you can get – this is probably one of the best social marketing membership sites that deliver the goods and then some, at a price that is far beyond value for money.
So, does Social Marketing Equals Distance Blinders and Cyber-Masochism? Heck no. This is a learning curve already giving results to so many members, and one that we would not want to miss. Are you going to miss it? Join for a dollar for 3 days and see Jack Humphrey live up to his name, if you’re not entirely satisfied – then ask for a refund.
