The Importance of September

Community 150 At this time of the year, I always love to reflect on what I've been able to achieve from the beginning of the year till date. At the same time, I start to think of the year ahead.

Therefore, when I got a mail from ETR this morning, by one of their sponsors (Gary Ryan Blair) and it was about how you can still achieve a lot in the few months remaining for this year to end, I felt obliged to share it below with you my friends so we can all end the year on a happy note while looking forward, with confidence, to a happier coming year. 

There is a link at the end of the message for you to get some valuable information. I am not getting any credit or compensation for sharing this with you; I am only sharing it because I know it could be of tremendous help to your success. Happy reading!

 

Gary Ryan Blair's Mail

SEPTEMBER 23RD may very well prove to be the most important day of your life.

Why?

#1 It marks the final 100 days of the year.

#2 It provides you with an opportunity to redeem yourself by finishing the year strong.

#3 It represents the turning point in your life and will come to symbolize, the day you took full control of your destiny.

Since you've read this far, consider a few questions:

How many of your goals have you accomplished so far this year?

Have your current strategies made you healthier, wealthier and happier?

If you continue doing what you've done these past 265 days where will you be, and what will you be doing on Jan 1, 2014?

Will you be struggling, spinning your wheels in the same place you are now? Why would you want that?

Especially when you could be…

–   Confidently executing the plan that launches your new online business

–   Or, completing the manuscript that makes you a best selling author

–   Or finishing the year strong and exceeding your annual sales quota.


I'd like to show you how, and here's a great video series and special report for you to check out

Finish Strong!

Gary Ryan Blair

Facebook News Feed and Story Bumping

Community 150Facebook marketing is getting more and more rewarding as Facebook works tirelessly to improve their services.

Recently, one of my mentors whose Page has good engagement was invited by Facebook to discuss how her experience could help improve Facebook ads. Also, in response to customers’ request, Facebook has started blogging about updates which they make to their services. The latest is about the algorithm that determines which stories appear first in the Facebook News Feed.

With so many stories being posted to Facebook every day, there is a good chance people would miss something they wanted to see if Facebook displayed a continuous, unranked stream of information. When posts are shown in chronological order, the number of stories people read as well as the likes and comments they make, decrease.

According to Facebook, the goal of News Feed is to deliver the right content to the right people at the right time so they don’t miss the stories that are important to them. Ideally, News Feed is meant to show all the posts people want to see in the order they want to read them. This is being referred to as ‘Story Bump’ and is good news for Facebook marketers for several reasons. In tests done by Facebook, story bump has brought an 8% increase in likes, comments and shares on stories posted by pages.

News Feed will know which of the many stories to show because Facebook lets people decide who and what to connect with, and also listen to feedback. When a user ‘likes’ something, that tells News Feed that the person wants to see more of it; when they ‘hide’ something, that tells News Feed to display less of that content in the future. This allows Facebook to prioritize an average of 300 stories out of the potential 1,500 stories each person sees each day.

To make sure you see posts from certain people or pages, you’ll need to create a ‘Facebook Interest List’. Just as in Twitter marketing, people create lists to keep track of the people they find most interesting on Facebook.

For effective social media marketing, you can also encourage your fans to create interest lists that include your page. They get notifications about your page by clicking on the Liked button under the right side of your cover photo and selecting 'Get Notifications'. This is where you can add the page to interest lists.

A recent study showed that it only takes 2 hours and 30 minutes for a post to get 75% of its total impressions and less than 2 hours to get 75% of its maximum reach. So you have a very short window of time to get engagement. However, Story Bumping lets your story jump back up in the news feed if it gets good engagement.

Social media marketing experts agree that Story Bumping is about engagement; for it to work for any Page owner, you must post good content that will engage readers. If your post is engaging, Facebook will bump it to the top of the News Feed. So, be remarkable, be interesting, give useful content, and don’t be boring.

Start A Profitable, Freedom Business

Community 150 GET A CAREER IN SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

You can make very good income in social media by one of two methods:

  1. Market Your Own Business to large number of targeted prospects
  2. Help Businesses Manage their Social Media Campaigns and reach wider audience

Social Media Marketing has been a growth area for business spending, despite the global economic downturn. Good news is that spending on social media is forecast to expand substantially and progressively in the next years as many more businesses embrace social media as their marketing medium.

 

According to the Marketing Executives Networking Group (a non-profit professional association) survey of high ranking marketers, "over 70% of companies and organizations are planning NEW social media initiatives". Majority of them said they will carry out the initiatives 'internally'; meaning that they will need to hire social media marketers.

 

Even those organizations that want to do social media marketing externally will still need the services of social media savvy marketers. Do you know the meaning of this? It means jobs in this industry will continue to grow as more businesses adopt the social media marketing strategy. More importantly, even those who have opted to look internally will soon realize that internal talents may not be adequate for their needs; resulting in increased demand for social media marketers.

 

Currently, freelance social media marketers dictate their pays (which is usually on the high side) while even the 'internal talents' go home with fat pays. Increasingly, companies are searching for people who have good mastery of the world of social media. For anyone who wants to build a career in social media, the first step is to get properly involved: get a blog if you don't already have one or optimize if you have.  Then learn the ropes!

 

If you use Facebook correctly, get good Twitter following and you will convince companies that you can generate positive results for them.  After all, if you can't market yourself or your brand, how can you expect any company to take you serious? You need the practical and effective social media knowledge.

 

Yes, getting a social media position or contract is very possible but also highly competitive. Sound knowledge and proficiency will make you stand out from the crowd and give you a start ahead of the pack. Click here to learn how to build relationships and sustain strong, social media domination.

 

Another upside of marketing your business with social media is its very low cost. New businesses and individuals with low budgets should make use of social media to reach very large markets at minimal costs; while getting organic, targeted traffic.

CAN YOU BE MORE?

greatnessContrary to popular opinion, there’s no big mystery to “finding success.” It is not a matter of catching a lucky break, or being born with a silver spoon. Success is a matter of what you do, and how you do it.  You can get everything you need to succeed in life and reach your dreams faster than you ever thought possible; all you need  is to understand and believe the fact that you were created to be more than whatever you are now! You should not be struggling and hoping for greatness; you should not be holding yourself back; you should not be restricting your self. Don’t listen to fear, NO! Fear leads to failure, always.

What is your dream?

Do you dream of writing a song? Driving a Porsche? Or what? Spend a few minutes right now giving yourself permission to imagine yourself doing something that your life keeps telling you that you can’t do. You can achieve what you want in life. You just have to make the effort, pay attention to what you are doing, and spend the time it requires to get there.

Since there are people who are billionaires on this planet, then there is nothing stopping you from being wealthy. All human beings were created with potentials and God did not send anyone (not even you) into this world without a purpose to achieve something. You have a blue print for success easily available to you – I mean the habits of successful people around; those are your blue print for success. Imbibe some powerful traits of these successful people and there is no stopping you. Let’s look at one or two of such traits:

 

A Master Plan

You will never find a successful person who does not have a workable and working plan. In order that you become successful and get closer to where you want to be in life, you need to have a Master Plan. A Master Plan is what successful people have been using which has helped them to become so successful.

They know that instead of pumping up themselves on the impossible dream, it’s much more realistic – and can be just as exciting for them — to chart a longer-term success plan that will take them where they hope to be.

A Master Plan says that you are serious about your life goals. It is a formal contract between the visionary you and the daily, working you that lays out point by point, what exactly has to be done to achieve all your major objectives over time.

 

The reason most people don’t achieve their ambitions is NOT that they aren’t smart enough, shrewd enough, or complicated enough. It’s that they are emotionally too complex, shrewd, and smart. They allow themselves too many subconscious conflicts of interest, which stall their progress or derail them.

 

Charisma

Another characteristic that puts billionaires head and shoulders above the average person is charisma. Charisma is the ability to make other people feel good about themselves. When you have charisma, people are automatically drawn to you. They want to work with you and do things for you. And having that kind of support from the people around you is a huge help when you're trying to achieve any goal.

Fortunately, you don't have to be born with charisma. I bet not even the billionaires were born with charisma. This special skill is something you can learn. Even the shyest person can transform herself into a charismatic charmer – and use it to skyrocket her success.

Ignore the voice of fear; in fact, ignore every negative voice. You were created and designed to be Great. Don’t settle for less. Believe God.
