When you first open up your blog for business, you hope or expect lots of people to find it and leave you lots of comments and feedback.  Sadly, this rarely happens, unless you are a celebrity!  So you plug away, writing article after article wondering how other people manage to succeed in getting lots of comments when you are lucky to get one!  So you cheat a bit and retweet your own post a few times and ask your friends to retweet it too!

But unless you get very good, very quickly you are not going to get many comments.  I tried putting the odd comment on other people’s blogs, but rarely got any reciprocation!  Then I started to hear about syndication!  I looked into it and discovered that people were getting together into little groups to leave a little ‘love’ on each others blogs and other content all over the internet!  Wow, I thought, great idea!

I looked into one system that everyone was talking about, but decided against paying to have someone read my articles.  They aren’t THAT bad!!  Then I joined a forum called ThatMLMBeat!! And started to hear about two syndication groups that were in the process of joining together!  And you could join FREE!

So with some trepidation, I joined their ranks.  It all seemed simple enough!  You were put in a particular colour group each week; around 10 to a group.  Each person puts their own details on the system, their social media sites and their blog.  Then each day of the week, Monday to Friday only (which suits me) you syndicate a couple of people out of your group.

You comment on their blog, you like them on Facebook, add them on Linkedin, watch their videos on YouTube or whatever.  Then one day a week, they all come to see your work and suddenly your comments start to rise.  You get more friends on your social media sites and more retweets!!  Wow, you have got to love that!

And another great thing is that if people don’t do the syndicating they are meant to do, they slowly fall down the charts and then fall off the end.  So they no longer get syndicated!  If you do not feel that the article you are reading is up to standard, you do not have to comment or syndicate.  That keeps standards up!

The benefits of syndication go well beyond the extra traffic I am getting on my sites! I always found it difficult to comment on other people’s work.  Probably scared of saying something that someone didn’t like!  Now, I am typing a comment before I even put my mind in gear!!  So that’s great.  Syndicating also keeps me on my toes! I know by Sunday usually what day people are going to syndicate me, so I work on making sure there is something new for everyone to read or listen to!  Which again is always good for the search engines.  Regularly updating your blog gets you higher up the rankings!

And another thing!  Before I started syndicating, I had somewhat lost interest in Facebook, which considering the numbers of people logging on everyday, was a bit like business suicide!  I found it difficult to know what to say.  Well syndicating lots of other peoples blogs has put an end to all that.  I have a plethora of interesting material to put out on Facebook, so my name is appearing on the news stream regularly.  I’m rocking Facebook again!

And I am meeting some incredible people and finding out more awesome stuff everyday! I have to admit my first thought was ‘will this be worth the effort of reading all these peoples blogs??’  Well I have to tell you that ‘yes’ absolutely it is worth every minute I spend syndicating.

So, of course, I must give a great big shout out to TSA Tribes for being absolutely awesome.  When you give, you receive, and I am receiving such alot from you guys.  Thank you, everyone!

Can you believe that if Facebook was a country it would be the third largest country and bigger than America?? That is amazing.  It actually took 4 years for the internet to reach 4 million users and yet Facebook reached 100 million within 9 months!!  This growth is incredible especially when you consider Facebook is free! Incredibly the fastest growing segment on Facebook is woman aged 55-65!!

The opportunities for small business on Facebook and other Social Media sites is incredible and people are making alot of money building their business with them!

YouTube is actually the second largest search engine after Google! This is another incredible fact.  Everyone knows that Youtube has grown at an incredible rate and is very highly trafficked.  Google actually now transcribe every video that is uploaded onto their site, looking for keywords to use in their search engine.  So putting keywords in both the video and the description is now key.

LinkedIn, although far behind Facebook in numbers, is way ahead in the calibre of the users.  LinkedIn is used very much by company CEO’s, Management and other high flyers.  Actually 80% of the companies on LinkedIn use it to find employees; another incredible fact!  Leads from LinkedIn are going to be some of the best leads you could get on the internet!

Twitter is also growing incredibly fast.  Celebrities use it to keep fans updated on what they are doing, companies use it to keep in touch with their customers and friends use it to chat.  Twitter is growing and changing constantly as new apps are made for it.  Twitter is evolving!  Because it is so different to Facebook some people do stay away, but the constant buzz surrounding it means that droves of new people are signing up everyday.

There are over 200 million blogs on the internet today.  Over 50% of these have new content posted everyday!  Basically if you are in business today you need to have a blog to keep your customers up to date with your products, services and special offers!  Well you need a blog and you need to be doing YouTube videos, and you need a Facebook page!  Welcome to the future!!

Any business that is not on social media, I seriously believe is going to be losing out immensely.  I am aware that alot of people out in the ‘real’ world consider it to be something of a fad and not something that they need to be involved in, but I think they are definitely missing something massive.  The figures speak for themselves.

So jump in!  We’re waiting for you:)

(This saying was borrowed from Robert Kiyosaki’s Facebook page!!)

This morning I went on Facebook and had a few new friend requests as usual.  I decided to deal them straight away.  I accepted the first two, then looked at the third one, who had written quite alot by Facebook standards.  Wow, it was from Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad amongst other things.  Doesn’t it make you realise the power of Social Media!  Robert Kiyosaki requested me as a friend!! Amazing. Yes, I’m am sure I am not the only one, but doesn’t it just amaze you that you can connect with just about anyone on Social Media sites.

It would have been hard to imagine being able to chat on the internet with anyone famous a few years ago.  My daughter spoke to Dawn French a few months ago on Twitter! Incredible.  So are you using Social Media in your business? And if not why not?  Robert Kiyosaki is in his 60′s but he is embracing the internet and modern ways of doing business.  He actually asked me to join his fan page, and offered me an ebook he has written for $5 instead of $65.  Well of course I grabbed it; who wouldnt?

Because readers are leaders, and leaders are readers!!

And anything written by Robert Kiyosaki  is outstanding so I cannot wait to read it!

So what, I hear you say.  Well what made Robert choose Facebook to spread the word about his new ebook??  Because Facebook is totally FREE!  He knows that because his name is well known he can get extraordinary exposure for this ebook, just by creating a presence on Facebook.  And it WILL go viral.  Because Facebook is the second most visited site on the internet now; everyone reads each others pages and it will spread like wildfire!!

So if you have a business and you are not promoting that business on Facebook, you are missing out on some spectacular, instant free advertising.  More and more internet marketers are jumping onto the bandwagon and advertising their business for free on Facebook.  Start your own group, give away free information, advice or tips on your area of business.  Invite people to join.  Add other people as friends like Robert did.  And just see the results you get back.

But in doing that, don’t force other people to look.  Just a friendly word to them about what you are offering, nothing heavy. That is definitely the way to get people interested.  Don’t force your business down people’s throats, you will just be avoided as a spammer.  If you give value, you will get people’s interest.

Be like Robert Kiyosaki, embrace change in your life.

So if you want Robert Kiyosaki to add you as a friend on Facebook then get started NOW with this FREE Facebook Training!!

Jim Chao Rocks!  Not many 22 year olds can go from flat broke to six figures in a year! He started in MLM at the age of 18, doing what everyone does at first; he chased his friends and family.  He actually had to sell his guitar collectables at one point to sustain his Network Marketing career!   But it was when Jim found a mentor on the internet who was earning a five-figure income that he realised the right way forward.  In fact it took him only 8 weeks of using the system to generate leads before he was earning considerable amounts of money.

He first came to everyone’s notice when he became a Superstar on Facebook.   Jim was producing high numbers of leads but was very happy to share his methods and the 76 minute webinar he did for his lead system has become very highly prized.  It is being offered all around the internet on social media sites and on list builders such as ViralUrl.  On Facebook it is quite clear to those of us in the know, who the students of Jim Chao are, as they are continually using his methods of lead generation on Facebook.

His next offering was a webinar on how to supercharge ViralUrl, which was well attended and is also being used around the internet, though it is not as popular as his facebook training. Of late, Jim Chao has joined up with two other internet gurus, David Wood and Kenny Gregg, to introduce a product called Viral Content Magic.  David has not been working on the internet for a long time, but has risen very quickly, mostly be using Article Marketing to generate free leads.  Kenny Gregg has been in direct sales and marketing for many years and became an almost overnight success when he came online.

Viral Content Magic was released a couple of months ago and it goes over and above the training in the back office of Lead System Pro, to give lots of ‘insider’ tips and suggestions to get ahead in internet marketing.  It covers how to set up your WordPress blog, what plugs-ins you REALLY need, article writing, SEO, Video Marketing and much much more.  It is full of valuable content which will help you stand out from the crowds and give you that slight edge!

What I believe Jim does that not many other people do, is that he works on one area of internet marketing, gets it going, then studies it to see what is working and what is not, and how he could increase his sign-ups and conversions.  So even if he is getting lots of leads with one system, he continually improves on it to get as much out of it as he can.  He also seems to be good at working on one strategy at a time, building it up until he knows everything there is to know about it, before moving onto another strategy.

In short Jim Chao deserves his ‘Internet Superstar’ tag, as although he is still young, he has worked hard to achieve this level and is out there helping as many other people to achieve the same results, which is after all the basis of Network Marketing.  Jim Chao is now a leader, producing his own content and hosting his own webinars, and joining forces with other industry leaders.

 If you want to be a leader and follow on in Jim Chao’s footsteps, you can join the exact lead system that Jim uses by putting your name and email into the form on the right.  Get the training you deserve!
