Did you listen to what Seth Godin and Tom Peters had to say about blogging in the video on my last post? If you haven’t, go back and watch. It’s important. Watch Seth & Tom
If you are serious about marketing on the internet, you have to understand what Seth said about the advantages of blogging.
Why Blog?
When I first started in Network Marketing, I asked my very successful Diamond Director (as she was leaving the country to go home and leave me
to fend for myself): “What am I meant to do next?” Her simple reply. “Find someone exactly like you.”
After my initial shock at the simplicity of the response, I tried to get my head around what she was saying. Did she say find another me? Could I do that? How? I didn’t realize at the time but this one activity makes the difference between success and failure in Network Marketing.
For internetwork marketing today, starting a blog is a great way to create your personal brand; to stand out 24/7, worldwide, no suits, no hotel meetings. The challenge is how to consistently stand out in a very crowded marketplace. To quote Seth “How are you going to explain yourself to your audience?” How are you going to attract the people you want in your business, the people exactly like you? How do you brand YOU?
Start by beginning your conversation. What do you want to say? What would you want to hear? Do your research and find others who resonate with you, and then develop your own style. If you really work on what you want to say, you will build a following of people who think like you do. Your Tribe. As you continue to express your thoughts and ideas, you will attract others to your conversation and you will get better. If you provide enough value, your tribe will become customers or business partners, or refer others to you who might be.
If you are serious about your network marketing business, create a blog. Blog marketing is a great way to leverage you and build your online presence so you can find the people who are looking for you.
Stay with me and I will walk you through what I’ve learned. Hopefully you’ll share what works for you too.
