6 Tips For Shooting Video Alone

2020-07-16T04:08:00.002-07:00

How often have you taken a look at your camera or telephone and thought—today is the day I'll shoot that video…

Furthermore, how frequently have you chosen, "Eh… perhaps I'll do it tomorrow."

Shooting a video of yourself all alone is an overwhelming task, however I am here to tell you that it's not as extreme as you might suspect. You can make top notch recordings at home or in your office, without extravagant camera gear. Simply utilizing your phone, a calm space, great lighting, you can record recordings that watchers will think included significantly progressively extravagant gear.

Here are 6 hints for shooting recordings of yourself all alone, so you can make great recordings for your blog, prospects, and clients.

#1: Find a Quiet Spot

At the point when you're shooting video, there are 2 things you need to be generally worried about: sound and lighting. We'll discuss lighting in Tip #2, yet for the present we'll concentrate on the sound. Regardless of whether you have, or don't have, an outside receiver—you're going to need to ensure the condition that you're recording is as peaceful as could reasonably be expected.

Recording close to a window over a bustling road will make a great distraction that you won't understand it exists until you've completed the process of recording. That commotion gives your video a lower quality feel. By keeping the environment quiet, you'll have the option to amp up your sound, regardless of whether you don't have the most costly amplifier available.

#2: Find Your Best Lighting

Beside sound, lighting is a vital factor for shooting recordings at home. Individuals (counting you!) would prefer not to watch a video of somebody with crappy lighting. It causes you to feel less definitive, making it hard what you're attempting to get from your video.

There are 2 alternatives with regards to lighting: discover it or get it. Natural lighting is perfect, and common lighting with additional lights around may be needed. To shoot with extraordinary lighting, locate the most brightest room in your home or office—this may change for the duration of the day—and make sense of what the best time is to shoot recordings. For instance, morning may be the best time or mid evening. Between great lighting and sound, you'll have the option to trick anybody viewing your video into thinking you have the best tech gear accessible… regardless of whether you're simply utilizing your cell phone.

#3: Get Your Angles Right

In case you're looking down at the camera or up at the camera—your video is going to lose the watcher. You don't need them concentrating on your jaw or the head of your head, you need them as they would in the event that you were sitting opposite them talking. Getting your edge right will guarantee your video has a characteristic and conversational feel—which is actually what you're focusing on when showcasing your business or services.

Tripods are by a long shot one of the most effortless video hardware to acquire at home. You can utilize drawers, end tables, racks, books, stylistic layout, and so on to prop up your camera or telephone with the goal that it's at the ideal point.

#4: Use The Best Camera Available To You

In the event that you're utilizing a camera—at that point you've just got to use the best camera accessible to you. In case you're utilizing a phone to record your recordings, make a point to utilize the best camera on your phone. For instance, on the iPhone, the back camera is the best camera. It takes better quality recordings (4K) which implies that is the best camera accessible to you, not your forward looking camera.

Utilizing the back camera of a telephone likewise shields you from taking a gander at yourself while you're recording. You need to take a look at the focal point of the camera while you talk—on the off chance that you take a gander at yourself on the screen your recorded video will appear as though you're talking marginally away from the individual viewing the video.

#5: Do A Test Run

Ok, the trial run. The marketers who do test shoots are the ones that have recorded a 10 minute video just to discover that their camera microphone was off, their camera was out of center, ect. That sucks...

To abstain from committing these errors, do a dry run of your video before you bounce into recording. Record for at any rate a moment to ensure that your lighting looks great, your sound sounds great, you are in center, and the edge is correct. Trust us on this one.

#6: Be Honest With Your Audience

In case you're generally in a studio recording excellent recordings or if this is your first time recording recordings for your crowd—let them know. Being straightforward with your watchers, regardless of whether they're imminent clients or paying clients constructs the connection among you and them. Rather than imagining that you're not at home chronicle recordings when you used to be in an extravagant studio, educate them concerning it. Or on the other hand, if this is your initial hardly any recordings, tell your crowd, "This is one of the first recordings I've recorded."

At that point, request that they give you criticism. In case you're recording recordings for web based life, their criticism, as remarks to your post, is going to support your commitment and assist them with continuing seeing your substance (ah, the exemplary Facebook calculation).

In case you're recording recordings for a paid participation, approaching them for their input on the most proficient method to improve your recordings is going to cause them to feel progressively appended to the last item. In the two cases, you're making a superior relationship with your devotees, possibilities, or clients.

We let you know toward the beginning of this article shooting video of yourself all alone was an overwhelming errand—yet not a difficult one. Utilizing these tips, you can record recordings of yourself that have everyone tricked into intuition you have the most recent video tech, all while you are shooting from your room.

Yes, you can get results now and get instant results with your business within the 60 / 90 days.

Experience and skill set even put together with mindset means nothing without consistency.

What is the # 1 thing you need to start making money?

Consistency is the one thing you need consistency. If you keep starting and stopping then you will never have the money.

You have to start with the end in mind and create the end in mind so the Goal is what you want then you need to simply reverse engineer it. What does that mean.

You start with the goal and then work backwards from that goal. How many customers do I need to get how many people do I need to be talking to on a regular basis

You have to be crazy in love what you are doing... I love what I do...

If you are not crazy in love then you might as well throw in the towel

What is the painful consequences if you don't do it every single day. There is a price you are going to pay for being consistent and a price

1. Have a clear vision as to why you are doing this and the why behind the reason why...

2. To choose one thing and master the hell out of it until you can do it with your eyes closed.
Many people scratch their heads as to why you do not know

3. Schedule It - Don't prioritize your schedule...schedule your priorities. Your schedule is non-negotiable it's the way you show up every single day.

4. Ignore your feelings - I don't feel like it... my favorite show is on... go back to your schedule and get it done PERIOD.

5. Catch the next train - There are days that something comes up and you cant do it pick up the following day. Don't beat yourself up if you couldn't get to work on your business

SUCCESS COMES FROM CONSISTENCY... and you will never get there without a constant workable plan that you are ummm working.

28 days to leads and sales

2018-01-18T13:45:00.003-08:00

This is a a excellent 28 day plan. If you do this I promise you your business will be different 28 days later.

I know that is a bold statement make a bold statement...

Everything will change for you...

It's quite simple but it will push you outside your comfort zone. I know you'r thinking " Will I be rich" I don't know "Will it generate me leads" absolutely... So what is this promise that I am giving you?

I promise you will be a totally different person once you come out the other side. You will have products to sell and a audience that you didn't have before..

This may be the leap to where you want to be in this year...
You will have 4 products to sell (under $ 15 dollars) and a audience sell too. We are going to do 4 times a week over seven weeks. (7 days x 4 times = 28 days )

pick 4 different topics you want to do a webinar on (1 webinar a week on Friday). "Scott, You mean I have to do a webinar?"

He he he he, yup.

You can do however you want to do it. My suggestion is that you use Facebook LIVE feed you use a actual webinar service if you want or OBS software.

First things first...

Pick a topic - If you know where to look you there are an abundance of topics that are taught on from Instagram to Facebook and everything in between.

I happen to be part of an online community that not only has a library of social media and marketing content but has weekly webinars every single week. This is where I get some of my content.

"But Scott, I don't know anything about Instagram or YouTube." Great go watch a couple of videos on and jot down some notes from the training.

This is really simple stuff to do.

Pay attention to this next sentence. You are teaching people that really know little to nothing about what you are speaking so your audience is really baud.

The 28 day Plan

Each Week:
Do 3 to 5 Facebook LIVES this is for your target audience and throw $5 to $10 dollars at it put it on your Fan Page and boost the post.

What is your Call To Action? (CTA) The webinar you are doing each Friday. This is going to generate traffic to your capture page for the webinar you are doing on Friday.

Give 1 to 2 tips 5-10 minutes tops and your call to action is this " I am going to be doing a whole in depth training on __________ (insert what topic is going to be on) on ______________ (what ever day of the week)

You want to build it up to the day you are having the Webinar on i.e Friday.

Now understand you don't give all the information in the LIVE you save that for the actual webinar...

What Are We Selling?

Week 1..
How about week 1 you go look up a training on Instagram. If you happen to be part of MLSP there is a product in the back for $5 dollars. If you are not with MLSP you can look online Youtube at a wide variety of videos containing people showing you tips & strategies.

At the end of the video for extra value you can say "If you enjoyed that module you might want to dive deeper there is a free 30 min video and free pdf on this."

Week 2 Grab another topic Facebook give them a $7 dollar offer
Week 3 Grab another topic Twitter give them a $9 dollar product offer.
Week 4 is about attraction marketing that's what you want to train on. Once you understand it you will never use anything again. What do I sell there is a 10 day trail with MLSP and you can get a online education for 2 weeks.

People don't have a problem buying things for a couple of bucks here and there and when they do that it shows that they are comfortable with you.

Once these people purchase from you you will have their Name Email and phone number it really does not get any easier then this...

Then you call your lead that purchased from you and say (yes you have to do it) and say something like.

"Hey ______ (their name) this is ________ ( your name ) I see you just purchased the _____________ product I wanted to make sure you got access to it and introduce myself.

At the end of 4 weeks Now You have 4 products you can run traffic to and now you run traffic to these videos you created and then you can make some capture pages and create some funnels to thoes products.

When you create your own products you are 98 % percent of the entire industry and changes the whole game it will change everything. People will buy from you and when they get a call from you they will actually be happy, shocked or amazed that you did.

The Webinar

On your webinar you talk for approx 30 mins... and put a power point together and speak dead in the camera and speak hope to your audience. Remember, you offer them a simple low ticket product under $15 dollars and that starts the relationship process.

Now the voices will start to creep into your head "I don't know how to do power point" Great there is a wonderful resource tool called YouTube you can research (How to create a powerpoint)...

This is so simple to do that most will not do it... most stop reading after they found out they would have to call their leads.

28 day Recap

1. Monday to Friday at least Monday To Wednesday give 1 to 2 tips on a Facebook LIVE dealing with the subject you are teaching on Friday. Your Call to action on each LVE will be the upcoming webinar you are doing. This is done 3 to 5 times a week.

2. Do the webinar on Friday for approx 30 minutes long. Offer a low ticket item under $15 dollars. Do consistently for 4 weeks.

3. Obtain leads from the capture page you created for people to go to the webinar. Call those people that buy the low ticket items from you. Create relationships with them

That's It...

Now you will be a different person after this because you have allowed yourself to receive money for your services and have used your creativity to create income on demand and permission to be successful.

Like I said at the beginning you do this and everything will change in your life 28 days later...

IF you found value from this then be sure to Like, Comment, and share this post. And if you did do the 28 day program as stated above please share your results as well..

Facebook Do's and Donts - You need to pay attention to this because if you do the wrong thing you will get your ads account. Facebook will shut your ads account get shut down unless you get this down.

Staying out of Facebook Jail

Be in compliance. Facebook is a half a trillion dollar company at the time of this post and 1.86 billion Monthly Active Users that represents a third of the world!

This social media platform has changed the world and it is something that you look at when you wake up and perhaps when you go to sleep.

The 3 Reasons That Most People Are on Facebook

You must know this because everything rides on this and it is important to understand this!

1 Connect

2 Share

3 Entertained

Nobody is showing up on Facebook to solve a poblem and or to buy a service.

It's not the reason the message is you have to think of Facebook as a cocktail party. People are checking in to check out.

Facebook is not a infomercial and it is all about the "User Experience" Facebook meets all the human needs.

Facebook will fiercly protect the customer experience ( aka will shut you down in a heartbeat )

Understand there is nothing out there that can help you find more targeted niche specific leads... peroid

1, Educate - You might want to shaere with others...

2. Inform - Somthing new that is comming up in the industry

3, Invite - Invite them to ucoming events

Invitation Audience Growth Method..

Audience Growth and also Audience Engagemetn and this works well today.

Look for a IMAGE the visual stops them and come off on a quote that stands on it own.

You can create stunning images like this with desktop or moble applications that can draw attention from your audience.

Consider the first impression of your page and determine what does your brand represent?

I wanted to shaere a couple of cover images form people in my industry that you can see

When a person comes to your page you wnat them to be able to know exactly what you do

Here are some examples :

Just from the engagemet of the post you can target a specific nitch There is a three step process

Organic reach can be 1 - 20 % of your friends, and let it reach it on your own .

Create the ad and send it to the rest of our fans. This is going to help with the social proff and thoes fans will see that contant. The third step is now you have warmed up the post you can release it into the wild.

Now this ad as social proof and has likes and shares behind it and now you can send it out to the COLD audience market.

Everyone that is on Facebook has access to a Ad Account and it will drop you into the ad creation screen.

Facebook change all the time. so to put a screenshot up of the back office would be useless as it could change tommow and probably will.

The type of ad we want is an ENGAGEMENT AD and at this moment you want to go and select POST ENGAGEMTN and name it whatever you want.

Facebook targeting is what makes it the most important aspect. You can be lazer focused.

Keep a swipe file of images... some that captures your attention.

You will have a text box checker so if you have text you may or may not get approved based on that ad

So you can post the ad that Facebook is going to like based on the ammount of text you put in the image.

Lets do a re cap on what we need to do to this ad.

1.Post it let it reached who ever its going to reach

2. Then boost the post by targeting people who like your page (will cost you $20 bucks or so)

spread it out over the next 7 days or so (this will reach the rest of your warm market)

3. So your ad goes out now to about a 50% percent reach now come over to the ads magager and go reach and here you can select who what where and whn... i.e who what when where and my ideal avatar is where who you target comes into play.

Start a wide net and then you can get it smaller audience later...

Don't forget to exclude the people of your audience and you can save this audeience

Placement - DONT LET FACEBOOK CHOOSE FOR YOU - There is different device types you can uncheck dont lump things together get specific.

You can go back later and go do just instagram later...

And you are simply ready to post your ad...

We have chose our campaign objective
We have set the critera for who will see it
Where we placed it in Facebook
How much we choose to spend
How long the ad will run

Facebook likes very visual content... then you can educate, inform and invite
When you run ads pay attention to whats happening on the ad... and groom your contents and keep an eye on the conversation...

Why Should I Even Blog

2016-11-12T13:23:00.001-08:00

Why Even Blog?

That sounds like a pretty legitimate question right? There are the people that pound the phone they pound the doors or they buy leads every day.

They have to start at zero and have to reach quotas every single month

If you do not build a brand if you do not create conent then that is pretty much what you are faced with.

By opting into my news letter (below) you will have access to information that I wish I had when I was learning about this strategy.

I used to put the blog out there ( not consistant ) and get a couple of leads, fast forward to today I put content out there on a regular basis and I get leads...consistantly

If you get 20 to 50 leads a day means you dont need to really go out and prospect... so fast forward to the future... the plan is to get over 100 leads per day... just from the blog...

I know of a Marketer in our nitche that is getting 600 to 900 leads per day just from his BLOG!

So what does that mean? Well what does that mean if you montize your blog correctly that means money...

There are multiple strategies out there and quite frankly there are people that simply are not making money with their blogs.

You can do this and it wont interupt your multiple streams of income. You want to make sure that your businesses are congruent and non compeating.

If you start blogging you are going to get people that are searching for your content...

Why They Buy

Before someone buys they research? So you are intercepting all that search traffic, you dont have to be a info marketer.

If there is a nitche I can tell you I would personally start blogging and yes you too can dominate any niche...

Nobody makes sales from a 5 year old email, however you can make money with a 5 year old blog post!

You can get affiliate commisions on a product or services that you have blogged about years ago.

It's evergreen

Paid advertising works and you want is to create something moret then what you are putting however this I do know once you stop paying it goes away.. not with blogs it's evergreen content

Hopefully you enjoyed my post and got some value down below drop a comment below if you did

Your PLAN for Content marketing Monday through Sunday?

You need the right message to the right market and this is key you got to nail it and it's going to be toward 80% percent of the market.

If you miss that then you are going to have a hard time creating a successful marketing campaign.

Research

Do your research on a topic on a pillar content like you did in high school and learn a topic. This is how you become an authority is you start out as the researcher compile that information and get that out to the marketplace and then you establish your authority...

Understand who your target marketing is who they want who they are and what they need...

The right message to the right market you learn about your target market then provide a problem and challenges.

NOTE: Please don't think of yourself as a newbie (that's totally the wrong mindset to have and is very destructive). You now know 99% percent more than everyone else on this subject and now it's a matter of picking a broad topic and just doing it...

EXERCISE Take out a piece of paper that you can add to over time identify all the problems challenges and obstacles that they (your market) are having and experiencing in their business that you can possibly solve.

What are some of the big questions that they have? You can see this can go on and on forever... answer questions and challenges the larger you can identify the more money you can make

This brainstorm page is going to mean more money for you.. and the more problems you solve the more money you make...

Start with research and if you have been creating content you are getting it is important you do research. Research the top sites ( most successful sites ) that are creating results...

Don't re-create the wheel... go with something that is already proven and is working for other people so what if someone has it... it's holding you back... you only need a tiny slice

How to research the top sites

Go to GOOGLE ( Top network marketing blogs ) take a little time and research the blogs what are their most popular articles, would that give you a clue to what is popular and then now go list out some blog articles...

You can check out other bloggers content and even go to YouTube and check out different channels of markets and you can get ideas form videos... a few minutes of video research will do wonders

Buzz sumo will tell you what content will do good type in "MLM Leads" how to generate leads has lots of variations and you can get info... again the free version will

SEM rush type in any website in the marketplace the free version will show you a limited report pay for one month and do research on the top 50 MLM blogs and see some traffic where it is coming from your competitors

Now you want to narrow your focus so take all these ideas so now you understand the marketplace and you can see a content plan and your branding and focus your content marketing strategy...

Choose and narrow down 3 to 5 themes or categories and narrow focus for our branding because branding is what you are about and you need to speak to your prospect when they ask "What's in it for me?"

Here are 4 Questions you need to ask yourself :

Who am I?
What do I stand for?
Who do I serve?
How do I serve them?

By narrowing this down you can show people... what is unique about you... so when you think about the leaders in this industry

So choose your categories and your topics and this is going to help you be focused.

CONGRUENCY

It's about getting the right message to the right market, that is rule number 1 then rule number 2 is congruency.

When you narrow your focus to a couple of contents then the content you create will flow between each other... so

So you create the content around a few categories and then a lead magnet for each category and then an offer for each lead magnet... so they see a lead magnet for the same topic on the content you just created... so if we narrow our focus we will get better results

Plan your blog... with the content you are going to create so

Quality over Quantity

Over 3 million posts published every day

If you add a video there are 300 hours of video uploaded to Youtube every single minute!

So if you publish more content is not going to get you more views

SO TODAYS SEO is About Engagement and search engines are looking for

Click through rates
scroll depth
time on page
Social Sales
Backlinks
Bounce Rates
Comments

Pillar Content otherwise know as

flagship content, anchor content, cornerstone content, redwood/evergreen content

Create 3 or 4 keywords to rank and you will have a chance to rank over time.

People create content on social media and then it just fades away... now if you are going to create it then would it would not make sense to keep your content going?

So it's about creating a post ( this could take days or weeks ) then you can promote this content for weeks months and even years and then you will be able to to make this post grow and it's not forgotten but use it as part of your strategy.

You want to create your pillar content first...( I did not do this in the beginning )

This post is added or referred to repeatedly over time adding it to its value.

-You become the go-to resource for that chosen topic in your niche

-Supports your topic and gains your readers trust

-Creates a good will and establishes your brand and creates powerful engagement.

Create a perennial post and it's a great way to get traffic to your post this is a post that gets updated every year...

You will use this in future emails and send new leads back to this content because you have narrowed your niche. Create and do different content and link back to your pillar post so its like subtopics of the main topics...

Your cornerstone pillar content posts are about 5000 to 8000 words it's going to have pictures and videos and links (and be extremely rich and valuable ) out and are going to create some huge engagement and you can do strategies to promote it...

Facebook marketing like a video ad (2 min video) and you can generate leads with this strategy.

CONTENT UPGRADE

What could be better than a Lead Magnet? CONGRUENCY

Lead magnet is a value training for an email address... the next sale is the content upgrade

A content upgraded is like a lead magnet that complements supports or enhances the original blog post the visitor can to read in the first place?

So in the blog post.. what else could you get... so create a promo lead magnet that is specific to the pillar content! because its specific you are going to get more leads...

ACTION STEPS 3

In closing here is 3 action steps you can do:

1. Create a content marketing plan - Create a daily content marketing plan without this you simply do not have a business.

2. Create your first pillar content - Your core posts and drive people back to these major pieces of content through ads and also other posts

3. Promote. Promote. Promote Repeat - You have to be consistently attempting to promote these pillar content while at the same time creating "filler content" for your audience through paid and unpaid methods.

So Create 3 to 5 pillar contents and do your normal 2 to 3 pieces content you are creating during the week...

Create a pdf or lead magnet for the pillar content.. and then do some paid ads to the pillar content...

and then keep going to generate traffic and leads to the website...

Create the content get a plan and put it out there in the marketplace You know what you need to do take action and just do it!

My Top 3 Twitter Strategies for Building a Loyal Following

2016-10-14T08:56:00.001-07:00

Ok so I thought I would create a post about Twitter at the time of this post I have somewhere I only had like 6,500 followers... I remember when I only had under 1000... even 250

I must say thanks to tools you can literally get a following of thousands in a few weeks!

You run the risk of getting shut down but my strategy for the last couple of weeks is add 50 people 5 days a week and then on Sunday I clean out my non followers...

I continue to build my audience and post things to it from my Facebook fan page on a regular basis averaging 10 - 15 new followers every day like clockwork.

Below are my top 3 ways you can generate not only followers but people that know, like and trust you.

#1: Replace Automation With Honest Engagement

If you look across social media platforms, a common trend is to “be more real.” But a lot of Twitter business profiles are full of automated tweets promoting their latest blog posts or services. Or worse, scheduled holiday messages that were written months ago.

Automation definitely has its place when it comes to social media , but if you want to develop loyal fans, try to rein in the automation and replace it with actual social commentary, day-to-day tweets, and images you create on the fly.

Talk about what’s relevant in your industry in a non-automated way that people can actually reply to. This takes Twitter back to what it used to be, and in fact what made it so successful: real people talking in real time about what’s going on.

This is really important if you want to develop loyal fans, because loyalty comes with your followers knowing who you are as a person or business, and liking you. It’s hard to like a profile that’s simply automated. Then you have become a robot...

#2: Make Friends, Not Followers

Building brand loyalty takes time, and the only way you can really do this on Twitter is to stop seeing your followers as numbers and start treating them like friends.

We’ve all heard stories like Starbucks sending people surprise coffees who have tweeted they’re in need of one, or Taylor Swift researching her fans across social networks and sending a select few Christmas presents.

Why do you think these brands and celebrities do things like this? It’s because they understand that social media isn’t advertising. A high proportion of your tweets should be socializing, and you can only do that if you start treating your followers like your friends. Friends buy each other coffee and Christmas presents, right?

You don’t necessarily have to put your hand in your pocket for every follower. You can’t buy friendship, but if you think of your followers as friends and be genuinely friendly, it’s a surefire way to create brand loyalty.

#3: Personalize Responses With Twitter Video Reply!

Twitter Video Reply is a massively underused feature of Twitter, but it can be super-effective when used well. Instead of replying to people or tweeting them as you normally would, you can record a video up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds in length and send that to people natively from within the Twitter mobile app.

This feature allows you to build a more personal connection quicker, in the same way you can on platforms like Snapchat. You’re putting a face and voice to your tweets. Hardly anyone does this consistently on Twitter, so if you start now, you’ll really stand out.

Imagine if you asked a question about a brand or a product on Twitter and the company replied to you with a video solving your issue. You’d feel you were being treated like a valued customer, and that in turn creates brand loyalty. This works exactly the same way when building relationships with potential influencers or potential customers. Better yet… it can be just as quick as sending a tweet.

When tweeting from the Twitter app, tap the camera button and select Video.

Similar to Snapchat, tap and hold the record button to start recording and release to stop. You can create multiple shots up to 30 seconds.

Next, hit Done, write a tweet to go with the video, and send it.

Hopefully you enjoyed my post and got some value down below drop a comment below if you did

Prospecting on Facebook

2016-10-10T11:28:00.001-07:00

Facebook has at this time of this time has close to a billion daily users….

THAT IS A LOT OF EYES THAT COULD BE ON YOU,YOUR PRODUCT OR YOUR BUSINESS!!
Finding the perfect prospect is the the first priority to growing your business. If you are talking to everyone you are talking to nobody. You need to know who your target market is then you are leaving money on the table! However do not also go out there to find the perfect customer and then make it a pitch fest Go out there with a ‘Who can I help to solve their problem today?’ attitude.

If you are band new I understand wanting to get people in your business like YESTERDAY especially if rent is coming up and your on the verge of getting your power shut off. TRUST ME I know I have been there! ( a few times..along with eviction notices and at one point homeless with a wife & 4 kids. )

The lifeblood of your business is relationships so if your spamming people right away you will not go far and if your making small talk and then pitching right away your WASTING YOUR TIME!!!!!

As we all know time is money.

How to prospect on Facebook is the key

First make a list of what is you... you are you a teacher, real estate agent and do you like sports or throwing lawn darts...

This can be a mental note or an actual pen and paper list.

I will explain why this will make prospecting easier for you in the next section or video

1. Figure out your target market – This is crucial absolutely crucial or else you will be wasting your time.

If you are selling makeup would it make sense to primarily talk to men? If you are selling auto parts would it make sense to be talking to restaurant owners? This is the first step to properly prospect.

Figure out who your target market is ….Who is your perfect customer? Are they male or female? What is the age range? What do they do or like etc. etc. Then simply Go Find them hanging out on fan pages and groups.

2. Fan pages and Facebook groups – Once you have figured out your target market… fan pages and groups are amazing to find prospects. If you are into health don’t just go onto Weight Watchers fan page and start spamming every single person who likes the fan page. This really is gonna come down to who works with you and who you want to work with.

Make sure when you have found a good prospect that you take the time to look over their profile. For two reasons…
One…. You want to find things in common with this person so you have a conversation starter and complimenting them on photos is a really nice touch to show you cared enough to look at their profile.
Two….Because you want to work with serious people make sure they are not negative people or are always blaming the world for their problems.
Take your time to really find someone who is a good fit! Taking a short cut now will cost you in the end and time is money.

Remember to ALWAYS go out there with a ‘Who can I help’ attitude.

ALSO!!!! Always remember that the way people are on Facebook is how they are most likely in REAL LIFE!
Happy Prospecting!

3 Parts To a Successful Online Marketing Business

2016-09-27T11:28:00.000-07:00

In this post we are going over the 3 parts of a Successful Online Marketing business.

It’s important not to overcomplicate things and to keep it as simple as possible. What does it take to succeed?

One of the goals of you is to be accountable for others… I can set out a path but you pick it up and do it on their own…

We are talking about 3 parts here

Long Term Vision
Short Term Vision
Consistent Daily Action

Let’s Jump into this

—Long Term Vision—

SO now you need to have long term vision

You got to attach an emotion to your vision of where you want to go and where you want to be 5, 10, 20 years for now?

Everyone is focused on the now and a microwave society… technology is advanced it helps us do things quicker then before and we start to think everything is like that.

There is a a process plant the seed, cultivate the seed, harvest the seed. many people are going straight from plant to harvest.

You got to cultivate long term vision, who do you want to impact?

Part of reaching that goal is learning to impact other people…

Why are people so passionate about certain causes and different movements. That is whats going to help you and pull you through to the finish line…

Ray Higdon said “Your Pain pushes you and your vision pulls you”

—Short Term Vision—

Most people this is not a problem for people.

Short term vision is something you need just as much as long term and they work hand and hand.

One of the things a mentor of me did was tell me to build my business in 90 day increments which will lead you to your destination.

So you got four 90 day periods throughout the year

and you write down what you want in 90 days and see your progress and what did you do…

then you evaluate to where you are after 90 days and then you can set the goals and agenda for the second 90 days… then you can be

If there is one thing that you need to do consistently is being consistent. This is the biggest challenge in our lives and business…

The dog’s got to go to the vet, parent teacher conferences, go paint the shed… there are a lot of distractions in our lives.

If you are going to 90 days solid and you are going day in and day out and you are not seeing a little fruit on the tree then it’s time to invest in the coach…

Why because action is not the problem it’s just a couple of small tweaks or minor corse adjustments to your business.

—Consistent Daily Action—

If you are not doing daily consistent action you have no right to claim results

I recommend two books the slight edge by Jeff Olsen… and the compound effect by Daren Hardy you can get it on amazon especially for our niche industry…

This is one of those books that will change your life…

Success and failure are identical in what it takes to succeed and failure…

To succeed to get to the goal you take small actions over time and everyday all the little bits add up to a lot and that is called the compound effect.

It’s easy to do but its easier not to do… In regards to health If you eat a big mac coke and fires one day it wont kill you but you do that every day for 30 years and you are going to have some serious health issues…

5 Ways To Prevent Your Facebook From Getting Hacked

2016-09-11T23:34:00.001-07:00

How does one prevent themselves from being a victim from random act of terror.. Here are 5 things you can do to prevent someone from gaining access to your Facebook account...

I should know it happened to me and has been messing with my Facebook account for more then a week now...

1. Create A Strong password

Things like your dog's name your spouse or children or birthdate will not do. You have to make it difficult for others to guess. A good starting point is 6 characters 8 is better 10 is great of course 12 is superman.

Use letters upper and lowercase with numbers and symbols and that leads into the next one.

2. Change Your Password Regularly

I am not talking about yearly this should be done monthly or even weekly. Just put it down on your monthly to do list and get er done.

3. Don't Friend Everyone Because Everyone Is not Your Friend

That hot chick that wants to be your friend is actually a guy... (bummer right) Be on guard... check out the profile.

How filled out is it does it have a long timeline other then 5 posts for the entire account thats a red flag

4. Don't Go Click Click Happy

You can get yourself into trouble especially if you click on things that you are not absolutely sure

That is exactly what happened to me. I got infected with a nasty but that hacked my fb account... wouldn't you know for every 10 people the virus would send the malware out to 1 person opened it and downloaded it... and then the virus finds it's new host and spreads...

5. Don’t believe all emails.

Don’t forget that honest web services will never ask you to do certain things in an email.

Facebook will NEVER send you an email asking you to change your password or enter personal details.

If they need you to do that, they will tell you where in your account settings you can go to do that.

On that note, protect your email account that you registered for Facebook with, someone could succeed in resetting your Facebook password.

Do you have any suggestions or ways you protect your account? Comment below

How To Leverage Facebook's Live Video Stream

2016-01-22T15:46:00.003-08:00

If you are looking for the inside scoop for Facebook Live / Mentions you are in the right spot.

There is Facebook Live and Facebook Mentions... it is available only for i phone users right now. It was only given to celebrities and those with a large following. As of now its on mobile devices and its only available on I phone ( for now )

Eventually everyone on every platform will have access to it.

What it is , How to get it, and how to use it...

Make sure you have the latest version of Facebook on your phone if you don't see it close it and re open it. Be patient they are rolling it out to everyone.

Facebook Live is tied to your profile page
is available on select I phone users only (Jan 2016)

Facebook Mentions are on Android and I Phone ( separate app you download ) and is tied to your Fan Page

How TO Get Facebook Live It will appear as a part of the status update on the menu
To Get Facebook Mentions is a app you download in the App Store

Broadcasting capabilities
Facebook Live - you can basically do the same the broadcast limit is 30 minutes on Live
Facebook Mentions - 1 hr or 2 hr broadcasts

You need to get a verified page first and you have to have a check mark on your name
This can be frustrating because FB does not tell you exactly what the criteria is that they want...

It's a way to grow and engage your fan base

It does not matter what device it is you can still watch em...
You can interact directly with your friends in real time

Keep your video for friends to view later...

It's easy to create constant video content...

You will get a notification from someone who is live by going to their page and following them...

Can you see the power of this in 2016? A lot of people are not using this... possibly the verification is a pain in the butt...you can try this link to see if it works. If not ,then go to Google and type in Request Verified Badge Facebook ( or something like that ).

If you do a lot of live broadcasting its going to increase your edgerank ( the way Facebook ranks your page ) simple... The more broadcasts you do the more edge-rank that you get

Facebook LIVE Tips

Tell ALL your friends ahead of time when you are going to broadcast.... It's going to create a buzz it works in terms of your engagement...

Ask your viewers to subscribe to receive notification when you go LIVE - Tell your friends to tap the subscribe button on live videos and where to get notifications next time you go live...

Write a compelling description before going LIVE. A great description will capture your friends attention and help them understand what the broadcast is about...

Go Live when you have a strong connection. - Check the app to make sure you have a strong signal before going Live. If your signal is weak the ' Go Live ' button will be grayed out. Try to find a location where you are on wi-fi or have a 4G connection

Say hello to your friends by name and respond to their comments LIVE - Your friends will be thrilled to hear you mention their name and answer their questions when you are live

Its All Recorded so you can respond back to people that leave comments and engage with them...

Do a lot of live broadcast and do questions and answers... it will help you engagement and so people will see your posts

DO NOT SELL ON THE BROADCASTS - Give away value... Don't pitch and build your brand and make it about you then your business and sharing stories and experiences (SHARE YOUR STORY) ... at the end mention the resource and go to this website... It's not about selling it's about building relationships and creating a friend.

If you loose connection while LIVE find a place with a better signal - If you loose connection while live don't panic! Go to a place with a better signal and your app will automatically try to re-connect, your existing broadcast will still be saved to your Page. Think about weather you want to delete it before starting a new broadcast.

Broadcast for longer periods to reach more friends - The longer you broadcast the more likely your friends are to discover and share your video with their friends on FB. I recommend that you go for at least 5 minutes. The maximum you can broadcast is 30 minutes on FB LIVE. On Mentions I have heard of 2 hour broadcasts.

Finally, be creative and go LIVE often! - Try different types of broadcasts and go live frequently - to keep viewers engaged

Remember when you finish that this is a Facebook post that you can share to social media you can download the video and you can put that on your YouTube channel and then use it as content as well as sharing it to your blog.

Understand Facebook is a changing everyday and what was around a couple of months ago might not be around now...

Eventually you might see a desktop version as well ( like a Google hangout )

After the broadcast is over you can edit the comment area and put the link (in the top section)

If your in business keep your fan page PUBLIC at all times... that way people can comment even those who are not your "friends"

You don't have to edit just go to your Facebook profile and just talk...

Just for everyone here is another cool streaming app called
BLAB.IM this is a streaming app that you can have 4 people on
and it is connected to Twitter and there is a desktop and mobile right now it is available with i phone

One Of The Best Solos That Get Leads and Results Fast

2016-01-15T12:59:00.000-08:00

If you are looking for a way to get more leads fast from people that are interested in what you are providing. Make money from home or work for home opportunity... It's a total game changer when you can add people to your list fast...

I would like to do a case study of someone who I have had the pleasure to meet in person and yes she is a real Doctor.

Dr. Lisa Thompson

CASE STUDY : " Dr. Lisa Thompson who has generated 275 leads in her business and hit the top position of her company leader boards within a few days of learning this "

I thought it would be a big help to show people exactly how she managed to do this...

This is an exclusive here as I have gotten this information smuggled out by Tibetan monks...

This is something anyone can do.. first lets understand why

Solo ads are essentially your borrowing the email lists from other people that have generated over time and these people that control these lists will allow you ( depending your offer ) market to these people your products or services...

OPL " Other Peoples Lists" or a.k.a "Solo Ads"

Through a marketing community.. so think of it as a Facebook for people who buy and sell ads...

Once you opt in for the free account you go to "solo deals" of people that have email lists and you will see the cpc " cost per click " cost per visitor to your website

You can see there are approval ratings and the sellers can rate the vendors and their experience from buying traffic from them

Check out the Teir 1 countries like the " United States, Canada, and the U.K " All Lisa Thompson did was select a ad seller put in her small 4 sentence and then a link and it converted at 41 % percent out of 100 visitors which is huge and paid approx $38 dollars if we want to break that down

$38 dollar divided by 41 that is under $1.00 per lead... that is just awesome!

#1 the advertisement has to be congruent with the ad that you are running the traffic too

That is how simple it is to get traffic to your form a well known source and get results like that on a continual basis...

If you would like to know more about these and other marketing methods that Lisa is using right now take the $10 dollar test trial and see for yourself here or http://bit.ly/10dollartrial

Best Wishes

8 Tips to help you in your business for upcoming year

2015-12-18T15:26:00.000-08:00

On my journey It's really a mind shift when you start to think differently then the rest of everyone else. I say that because as of this moment I am thinking different then everyone around me. Everyone is in this rat race of trying to just make it Monday - Friday and living for the weekend.

I am working toward and adjusting my mind to comprehend a different perspective and I am moving toward separating myself from the rest of everyone

The only way you can go it up and make this upcoming year a great year.. You might be looking back and thinking that this year sucks...

I want to give you these tips that can really help and hopefully make a difference in your life

Here are some

Tips for success, for the New Year

1. Visualize your success - You have got to see yourself of where you are going not where you are at. Our minds trick us to simply focus on the now... Yea now SUCKS... but if you dwell on that you are sabotaging your ( future ) success

Here is a question " What are you going to do with that money once you make it?" I mean you better be specific here with the answer ( exactly ) ?

We live in the microwave society and we think that this is going to happen now. Nothing is built overnight it takes one brick at a time...

2. Focus on one task at a time - Want to recommend a book here "The Slight Edge" by Jeff Olsen. Don't get lost at looking at the big picture for too long.. take time and eat the task in small parts. Success is built at one thing at a time... Its just as easy to say no as it is to say yes...

Lay one brick today and keep laying it

3. Get Active - I see people all the time that don't take action... and a week later they complain they are not getting help but they are not doing what they need to be doing... ( work their business )
They are focused on everything else but their business..

Focus on getting things accomplished and then watch t.v after you have completed your task FIRST...
You should be focused on income producing activities. Don't sit on the information that you have been given...

4 Don't be afraid to say No - Its a powerful word I had to learn this because I want to help out so much and be their for others. I get along with everyone I am not looking for approval but I am easy to hang out with.

Hey you want to go out this weekend " No " I got something big I am working toward a goal. I can normally find a way to do both

5. Value YOUR time - You'r time is worth a heck of a lot more then you think. If you don't value your time people wont either. I want to be real here some of you are overstaying your welcome with your sponsor in your business.

Value the time from the people you seek help from. The best way that you can learn this is to value the time of others... by default you will value yours. You can make more money but you can never get back the time you spend.

6. When you need help ask for it - There is no shame in that ! I am part of a community that where I can post a question in the Facebook group and within a good couple of hours can get multiple answers.

Don't sit there and ask for help unless you have done some of the legwork yourself. What do I mean? Have you looked on YouTube or Google FIRST ? I am teaching people self reliance.

Type it in a couple of different ways and you will be amazed of what you will find...

7. Be a good listener - When you are around leaders and in general listen to people when they speak. Don't get offended ... really... sometimes what you need to hear is not sugar coated. Time is of the essence and so just take the good and get rid of the bad.

8. No matter where you are in your journey BE THANKFUL - Be greatful for what you are going through and where you are at in life is so important. If you are not happy right now with no money do you really think you are going to be when you have it?

Money is a magnifying glass to who you are... Be greatful where you are but have a internal bug that pushes you forward to better and better goals...

Hope these tips have helped you in your journey...Kick but and get to work

Using a Call To Action Image Successfully In Every Post For Success

2015-02-16T14:57:00.001-08:00

A lot of people will use the bottom of the blog post who utilize pictures mostly just to attempt to connect with others ... there is a difference between just putting up a picture and having a specific call to action... which one you think is going to get more clicks.... Remember I always say

Make everything you do as a stand alone lead magnet...

By using a call to action image this will help people to click on what you want and then take that image and put it out on other social media outlets...

Getting Images for your blog is critical yea you could risk having some copyright infringement and or illegally swipe a image off the internet but most the time it's the wrong size which means you have to go into your favorite imaging program and edit the picture...

Enter Canva this creates something specifically for your blog (many many are free) and depending on your style you can click on it and edit... you can upload a picture ( own image )

So you can pick a picture or even import your own photo! You can overlay text on your image! This is a totally free tool... you can post the image, pin it, tweet it, email it. You will want to play around with this!

You can do so much as far as adding the text image and using it to send people with a specific message over to a capture page the picture of me and the ambulance does nothing to help me and if you were to click it would not take you anywhere.... This is what you do not want to do... The next
post I do I will do a call to action image ;)

Where all the money starts with the blog basics 3 Things that will make your blog stand out

2015-02-11T15:16:00.000-08:00

A blog is a central hub for your business if you want to be here for the long haul build credibility a way to show your skills then this is critical... I want to share with you the blog basics , this is so important to get the leads and sales.

I have not seen any top earners who are online and don't have a blog...

Why blogging? Think when you go to Facebook when you go to look and see whats going on? You will see blog posts. Do you know one of the main things people come to FB is to socialize and consume content!

With a blog there are two types - self hosted blog or a free blog through word press

Put your name on the blog ( brands yourself ) look at my blog AskScottLindstrom.com I am branding me. Its your logo your face there is a form for a way to generate leads and there is a training videos... Content ... banners to generate leads

The First this is YOU... Your Brand So this has to do with all about you YOURNAME.com this is vital I see marketers make the mistake of branding their company or product... why?? Your company can go out of business your product could be dropped... The only constant is you...your logo, your own logo. When you come to the Blog you get a instant feeling of trust.

The second this is keeping it clean... It should not look like a garage sale and should be very easy to maneuver in place. Its set up in a very clean way. Your Story tab - very important that people know you ( know like and trust you )If you have got a lot of stuff on the sidebar with stuff... banners and videos and one of the things you want is not to confuse the prospect...

The third is the about you page. The about you page is your story people want to know who you are and what your about what are your goals with this business? People look at you to see you and who you are... trust me My blog the page the gets the most views is my about me.

The form on the left (sidebar) is a way to capture name and email. You can have it on the right as will as long as you have a way to get email and name.

Remember

The ultimate goal here is to generate leads from it and it lets you connect with other people...

How easy is it to setup a blog there are a couple of things you can do is go to a site called Wordpress.com the only pro is you can have it up fast the cons is you are limited functionality... If wordpress does not like your content they can delete your blog... You want to own your business assets and own what is rightfully yours!

Dont let you being cheap cost you a fortune in the future...

You want a self hosted as your own blog because you need to control your own business...

The other way is worpress.org and get the software to self host your own blog... Wordpress provides the software and install on your own server... ( Host Gator ) or ( Blue Host ) I recommend Blue Host and you can get a free domain name... and set it up...

You want to turn your blog into a lead gen (generation ) machine...

Your blog is the center of your universe

You need to have a system like create the capture pages and the other money maker is your Youtube Channel. You get all these social media platforms and you point them back to your blog
and the Blog when people click on things you make money...
Drive people back to my blog I want them to get to know me... when you optimize your blog you will get leads...

Create content...

Click The Image Above to Get Your Copy!

Mark Herberts a Boss at creating content and especially when it comes to blogging I want to share this guys class that I took (part of the live class) and it was worth every damn penny!!
You can get it here.

There are plugins you can install on the blog and there is one that you will want to have
One I am going to recommend is...
"What would Seth Goden do" You can do custom messages! Everywhere they click they stay connected to you... Create content and drive traffic from social media to your blog... it's easy and amazing on getting people through social media.

Native Advertising - It creates content the majority of their users do not like ads they like to consume content it is creating highly consuming and highly effective that is also in the course

Why do you do this daily?

Create good content do it and how many times a week and a way to outsource your content!

This blog basics you are going to learn all the way up to some advanced stuff. This will push traffic to your blog and make you money!

Home Business Authority putting the YOU in YOUR business

2015-02-09T06:00:00.000-08:00

First off you can build the business of your dreams by making yourself a an authority figure / leader by the brand you create.

This causes a magnetic pull to you...

Remember its easy to draw people to you then it is to use push yourself onto people. I want to show you how to become that authority figure in your niche ...

There is a step by step to building a business and this is about creating instant authority and making you the expert...

I am going to share with you the formula for getting people to come to you!

HERE IT IS :

Determine a hungry audience
Get a lead Magnet
Build Rapport ( after we attract leads ) with education
Recover your advertising cost with a low barrier
Following and maximize profits on the backend (selling additional things)

You remember the process to dating right? The same is true with your business here,
normally you start out with something free or low cost and that is a low barrier.

You can sell them using Attraction Marketing Formula...

Under a $100 bucks low barrier

So they opt into your funnel where do you send them

Why is authority so important? Its the difference between the hypey marketers by telling people that I am awesome...

Nobody thinks of Dr. Oz or Opra think as sleazy salesman because they are perceived as being
an authority yet they can recommend something and it fly's off the shelf...

Don't be pushy just let me show you and let me recommend some cool stuff

Big advantages of Network or Affiliate marketing... .everything that would hold you back in a normal business... all you got to do is learn marketing.

How do you want to build your business?? You can learn the skills or bypass all of this and focus on the skills which is how to market but 2 disadvantages to Affiliate marketing... you are building someone else's brand. I am not building a asset... I want to introduce you to Scott Lindstrom before xyz.. I don't want to position this person over here over me first.

Its not your results ITS YOUR KNOWLEDGE THAT WILL POSITION YOU AS THE HOME BUSINESS AUTHORITY or whatever authority you are in the niche you are pursuing.

In the Affiliate Marketing niche there are lots of competition with everyone promoting the same thing...

If you want to succeed you got to set yourself apart from other people and here is the best part
Most people are FREAKING LAZY!

People are looking for their success outside their own self... people it's you! There is no perfect system, perfect product, perfect mentor, best comp plan.

If you do a few tweaks more then the average guy then you will have the advantage...

there is a simple process
I want to go over

1.How to create your lead magnet
2.What to do with your lead magnet when they opt in
3.How to pull prospects to a buying decision
4.How to brand yourself and become the authority event when your promoting other peoples products

I will probably turn each of these into blog posts right night now I am talking specifically about 3 and 4

Most people thing marketing is

Solving problems, providing value, education, branding, selling

Marketing does not equal promotion... people want to plaster links without value

Marketing Is:
Content
Education
Providing Value
Building Relationships
Promotions
and wrapping your message in value

Take a stranger to a friend then to a customer and then business partner

FOCUS ON THESE TWO THINGS AND YOU WILL MAKE MONEY
1. Your personal value... what do you have? What skills? Whats upstairs that you have to give.
2. How Much you provide ... How much do you give

Money make more Money is $ = V ( value )
Everyone is on the left instead of focusing on the right!

That is that famous quote is on the right side of the equation... form Zig Ziggler...

"You help enough people get what they want and you will get what you want"

Its what your passionate about... when you learn the skills of marketing with whatever you are passionate about... take your focus off the left side and come over to the right side...

They try to simply promote only the company without giving the value...
If you were asked to provide Music at a party you got 3 choices

1.You could show up with a stereo system ( anyone can do it )
2. Write lyrics and get a band ( really hard and nobody knows your songs )
3. Play some cover songs (leverage someones success and experience)

This is how the Beatles got started. This is about learning by doing... it was the process...
Its a great way to cut your teeth but if all you do is show up and plastering links.... you are doing really nothing to give part

There is a three step process my buddy Ray Higdon says cash the checks
Learn... Do... Teach
Learn Share the info and then Suggest then that magical part of the final equation will happen the freaking sale!

Take something you want to learn about... share something that you can give prospects to help them and then recommend something... people are paying for your insight.

If you throw up all over the prospects take the 3 most coolest things and give it to your prospects... by the way this is were the final part the selling comes into play... and at this point you are simply showing them the best way to get the knowledge they want by clicking on this link and buying that product.

Take a product learn it go through it get a couple of good points and share the information with your target market then recommend or suggest what can solve their problems... In becoming a home business authority you got to learn to first become a leader by doing then by teaching and finally the money will come to you its really that simple.

P.S I want to share you a system that you can have the most turn key system if you want to build a online business, I am giving you a suggestion that could help you click here now.

I always say

How to use Youtube and Facebook Video Marketing

2015-02-06T06:10:00.000-08:00

Using Facebook Video Marketing with Youtube and Facebook is a great way to market... Understand methods come and go so what works today especially when it comes to Facebook

I am not going to go deep into it but I am going to give some nugget that you can use in your business and some resources!

You must understand Traffic ( I talked about this in a previous post )
It's about getting eyeballs to your website

The more people that does that out goal is to get people to our website. Not all traffic is equal... Visitor intent is always important as to the quality...

Go to Google and type in "Order Chinese Food" and how to basket-weave came up what would you think of the magical power of Google you would be what the heck is this... So there is targeted traffic and regular traffic.

Put the targeted offer in front of what the visitor wants.

WHY VIDEO ??

It builds rapport and trust like no other strategy online...I can build a relationship with someone who is on the other side of the world.

Creating videos it like creating little soldiers that work for you 24/7 for years to come

It literally you as a leader form the beginning...

Video is a platform and a way to present your message... People get freaked out when the video comes on you got to act like a fake person to sell... Video is a way for people to give a little window into your life. Why is reality tv shows watched so much because people love to watch people...

Creates a mini celebrity status between you and your prospect.

YOU TUBE IS MY FAVORITE VIDEO SITE

Youtube = Great Site with tons of traffic
Wide open at this point
Many Marketers have moved away from it

Remember this >>>> When the heard is zigging you want to zag <<<<<

Sure there is a risk but it can bring it a ton of leads...

Don't ever go on the internet and spend traffic on nitches...

The Youtube training that was taught 2 years ago still works today!

Facebook Video = Incredible for building a audience and promotion and building an audiences and it's almost as good as building a list

Why Youtube?
Create Videos that provide a solution to their problem. This is the essence of entrepreneurship. Keyword rich videos show up in Google It's a second method next to Google in Search. How do I ???
Tons of people go to get the answers
#2 search engine in the world...

When you come to Youtube they (the world ) go to the search bar first
It all starts with keywords ( use the free keyword tool )
It is still a great place to get leads!

3 things that are important

Your Title
Your description
Your Keyword with good description

ALWAYS HAVE A CALL TO ACTION... tell them what the next step at the end of the video.

Why Facebook?

Why do I love facebook video?
Awesome way to engage your audience
Its stands out from the normal text updates
The organic reach of videos is much higher

Upload the video directly to Facebook

There is a keyword tool Video Keywords and to find out the searches and see what people are searching for.This is all I use not to say the free keyword planner
This will show you the competition for the keywords in what videos you could rank in Google and you have potential traffic that can to build your list!

All you need to do is use a keyword on this tool and you can rank on google...
It shows a the number of people searching the number and then how many videos that are used for the

Recommend this strategy with a page but if you are sharing quotes and inspirational on your personal profile you do not want to sound too pitchy

Build up your page and promote your videos... videos still get organic reach...better then regular posts!

Hope you got a better understanding of Facebook Video Marketing I truely believe that this one two punch when it comes to marketing with video is the way to go.

There is a flat out awesome video formula its a video script formula that I have been using and it flat out works! The best part it is only 7 bucks ! Click here to get your hands on it!

Use the platform to build your email list and learn how to put your capture list in front of people

You must understand your target market in order to be effective! Talk to your Niche market and be

1. OFFER BONUSES
What does the prospect really want
What can you Give to people or do for?
Sometimes you can give away things you would not morally do it ( like in a content ) and you need sales or signups
Its perfectly ok to ask someone in your up-line if they have something you can use or ask someone that can produce something for everyone to use

Offer a
Coaching Call
System Setup ( Facebook page )
A Header ( you can outsource on Fiverr.com )
A PDF 'Cheat Sheet' how to set up you bio for leads and sales ( great idea )
If you have a certain skill offer it people love 'done for you'
Set a deadline ... time limits or bonus offer amount

2. Create a Upfront Free Giveaway

A front end Giveaway
Can be simple - but if YOU are the creature and featured it immediately establishes you as the authority figure.
It's OK to rely on 3rd party at the beginning but take things up to the next level - create something yourself...
Model on what others are giving away
What have you learned that you can share

3. Tell The TRUTH

People love helping
Tell them you are trying to hit the next level
Ask them for help
ONLY do this occasionally and you can get away with it
Make it a win /win The first 4 people who buy x will also get y...

4. ASK Your Upline / Team Members to help

Again People love to help
IF you don't ask you don't GET
Ask if they themselves have created something they used as a
Make sure you reciprocate when you can ( when people give be sure to give back )

5. Do a webinar

I got one of the most easiest and simple webinar platforms to do...
You will freak out at first this is normal
Everything gets easier with practice
Nothing is more powerful then a live webinar
If you are new or cannot face doing this yet - again use the power of leverage with your team your system and your line up...

6. Testimonials

Unless you are completely new there will be people who will write or record you a quick testimonial
Testimonials are very powerful
People believe others and social proof ( you need this )

So hopefully these 6 tips helped you and can use a couple in your business. I do not want to dive into any particular strategy I just wanted to show you a couple of broad strategy. I simply wanted to show how to build a following with you home biz.
Remember to keep it really simple and you don't need to offer something that is going to require rocket science...

A example would be to offer like giving away a pdf how to set up the Bio on Instagram... that is powerful ... something that simple can help people and people will in turn give a email to learn this.

P.S I am all about giving value and something you can use in your business if you have a marketing questions please go ahead and reach out to me below on FB. If you want to know the system to learn all these and more then click here...

Newbie Marketer's ask what is the sales funnel exactly? Part 1 of 2

2015-02-02T07:00:00.002-08:00

The biggest struggles in this business is struggling with marketing these are the basic of lead generation. There are a bunch of people out there that want to know what is the sales funnel?

You must have something you must present something of value to Give in order to receive... You must learn in order to ask them to opt in.

If we perceive value and therefore we buy it I am going to show you the basics of lead generation we have to create a offer then we have to drive traffic to that offer. This offer has to be something that is going to grab your prospects attention.

So I want to go into how to craft your offer which is the 1 step in lead Gen (Generation) process.
Then you get the tools
and finally you get the traffic.
Let me ask you a question first.
When you decide to join someones email list " WHY DO YOU DO IT" When you know why you do it? Once you answer that then you can understand others...

I want to explain the biggest reason people fail when it comes to marketing online...

1. Most people fail to understand the basics and generate leads online
2. Most people they don't understand what people are looking for not what you want... you finding the needs and finding solutions to peoples problems is what you are working for

Using Hype and claims of fortune and glory does not work, well it can actually but not for long...

Overselling and under delivering. You want to always undersell and over-deliver

Don't put the offer in front of the wrong people...

What is Lead Gen? ( Generation )
The way to find people though effective marketing of those who are interested in your topic, product or service that you have then you collect their contact info from them...

1. Traffic ( this must be targeted )
2. Capture page ( message must be same as the original ( message )
3. Follow up ( this is the fortune )
4. The Sale

WHO IS YOUR TARGET MARKET

The biggest load of crap is that people is that everyone is your prospect... People have ZERO interest in what you got you are going to get nowhere if you try to get them interested...

> So... ask yourself what problems do you solve with your product or service
> Paint a picture for the prospect throughout the process
> What are your prospects needs wants and desires? ( Who is a perfect fit for your product or service)

Have you ever heard of Attraction Marketing... the art of positioning yourself to be expert and because you know skills then others want to know you because you have a perceived value you bring to the marketplace...

WHAT IS A LEAD MAGNET

A irresistible lead bate that gives your prospect a piece of the pie for exchange for a email and contact information

Here is your 3 step process for you very own lead magnet...

Target Your Market ( once you read you will understand Attraction Marketing )
Make your offer high value and easily consumable
Pre- frames them for your paid offer

CRAFTING YOUR LEAD MAGNET

It's best if you end up creating your own lead magnet because you are unique. If people see a bunch of people promoting the same thing what makes you different?

You can promote other peoples stuff but eventually you need to promote your own thing.

1. Be specific ( let the prospect know exactly what they are going to get )

2. The magic Bullet - Make a huge high value point they can get results with fast

3. End result - Speak to the prospects desired result... ( what do they want )

4. Immediate Gratification - This is what the person can use right now... (nobody wants to wait)

A Pre-frame A good lead magnet will pre frame your prospect to see out more info from you

High Value - A free offer shouldn't be cheap. It should give something

Consume Quickly - Create something that they can use right away Avoid large video style boot camps and thing that take forever to consume

Stand Alone Value - Your lead magnet should have value on its own... This is the first impression with your prospect so make it good

What Format Do I Use To Giveaway?

Report ( 2 - 5 page ) PDF Report or Guide

Cheat Sheet or Worksheet ( PDF )

Resource List ( Like the one down below )

Video Training ( 18 minutes or shorter )

Competition Checklist

I wanted to make this as simple as possible so here are some things that you can check off as you are going through

Is it specific?

Does it focus on one big piece of the pie and deliver?

Does it speak the desired result that they are looking for?

Does it pre-frame the offer you are giving them?

Does it have high value?

Does it allow for rapid consumption?

If you would like to see part 2 of this story CLICK HERE

These are the essential parts to the sales funnel so when someone asks what is the sales funnel
is all about, now you know.

P.S The biggest take away from this that I could give you is the basis for Attraction Marketing and how
important it is to learn this skill you can see for yourself go right here now.
