The next phase of video domination is to make it go viral and during the event he took us through a 10 step process that you can implement and leverage big time in your business. So here goes.

The first step is to create a G-Mail account. For one, it is FREE and after all that is everyone’s favorite four letter word and you want to make sure that the name of the account is available.

Next, name the e-mail account with keyword tags that you are after as this is a key component for it to go viral. If your desired keywords are not available via a gmail account, feel free to use any other FREE email provider such as Yahoo.

Step three is to create a You Tube account using your desired seed keyword. If your keywords are not available then get creative with adding a prefix or a suffix that contains your seed keywords.

Step four is to create a twitter and yes you guessed it, using your seed keyword. Step five is to create a Face Book Fan page because in order to go viral you have got to have fanatics.

Step six is to link your newly created accounts to your Google Reader. If I get enough request, I will do a separate post on this point, for now do a Google search and you will see how to get this done.

Step seven consists of subscribing to popular channels on You Tube that have lots of videos and get lots of views and step eight is to consider using the “Promoted Videos” to get views as this is the paid video ads service. You will be surprised how inexpensive this option can be when done correctly.

Step nine is to embed your You Tube videos in your Blog and step ten is to get 15-30 watching your videos right away.

Day 2 of the Social Media Money Magnet was amazing. James and Joey Bridges shared 12 steps to grow your business and make money on Face Book without having to beg your customers.

What are the rules and purpose of social networking? Generating Leads as social networks are one more marketing system that we can put into action in our business. Any problem in your business is solved by generating massive leads.

5 daily to do’s to explode your social networking business

1. Networks – How many ways did you add value today? You need to do a minimum of 3 things daily

2. Time Management – How long did it take you? Invest a minimum of 15 minutes per day doing these tasks.

3. Traffic – How many folks visited you on Face Book today? Use Face Book insight to measure your traffic with a minimum of 2 traffic sources.

4. Leads – How many leads/referrals did you generate today?

5. Goals – Did you hit your social networking goal today? Why or why not?

What is your marketing message? If the is a common characteristic that is expected by your customer then it is not your message. To help craft your message and get you to hone in on creating solutions that address your customer’s greatest needs and wants James and Joey shared the following clarity questions.

1. What do your customers really want?
2. What will compel them to be attracted to you?
3. What will encourage them to let their friends know they like your company, service, product?
4. What will help them today?
5. How will this offer get them to join you on Face Book?
6. What would happen if they did not like the your Face Book Fan Page right now?
7. How over the top is your offer?
8. Can you make it so irresistible that they are compelled to click “Like”?
9. How quick can your customer see your message?
10.How does your message stand out from your competition?

On honest assessment coupled with a candid and thorough answering of the questions above will lead to clarity and success in your business. The reality it that less than one percent of businesses have a Face Book Fan Page and one of the biggest reasons why this leads to success is that it creates a platform for generate more conversations with your customers, more referrals and leads all of which are missing from businesses that are struggling and doing poorly.

There is an 80/20 or 90/10 depending on your preference regarding valuable-quality content versus sales pitches targeted at your customer base or list. All of your posts and comments should interest piquing updates, questions or thoughts and a call to action. A call to action that inspires, motivates and helps your lead, customer, referral go to the next step in your sales or value offering process.

To insure that we are practicing what we preach, I invite you to Tweet and share this post on Face Book to insure that we maximize the value that is provided to our community. The more of us succeed in big way, the more lives we can impact and the more we can make a difference.

August 9th marked day one of the “One Time Only” Glazer-Kennedy, Social Media Money Magnet Seminar at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore Maryland. The event was kicked of by co-founder of the Glazer-Kennedy Inside Circle, Bill Glazer.

The first speaker, Jason Van Orden covered how to leverage social media in your business, “The Path Traveled and The Opportunities With Social Media”. Jason shared the 3 M’s, Market, Message and Media and the importance of engagement over time via frequent interaction with permission. The 5 keys to achieve this goal is action, relationship, engagement, permission and attention.

In order to have folks like you and want to follow you, insure that when you are online, you are cool, helpful, authentic and true. So let’s talk about the essential Laws required to get the job done.

They are as follows:

1. Law of Magnetism
2. Law of Relevance
3. Law of Reciprocity
4. Law of Convenience
5. Law of Consistency
6. Law of Trust
7. Law of Preeminence

Next, Jason covered content marketing, create frequent authoritative content and strategically syndicate it. Magnetic Media consists of Blog Posts, Audio Programs, Videos, Shared Media, Status Updates and Email Newsletter. Your Blog is your hub and central nervous system of the Network of you. Commit to generating valuable, relevant and high quality content and they will come in droves.

Also, become a master at re-purposing your content. You want to invest the time to write it once and leverage it to the maximum. For example, you write a great article, great turn it into a presentation, newsletter,  video and turn that video into a podcast and blast it all using Traffic Geyser to get massive back-links to your site.

To very important tools to implement into your business to give you insight into the topics that interest you most and are relevant to your business is to set up a Google Alerts account and establish a FREE Google Reader Account. These two tools will enable you to stay on top of all of the needs, challenges and desires of your target market so that you can fulfill them and build your business.

Other customer pulse, needs and wants tools that you should implement into your business include taking surveys using services such as Survey Monkey, helping struggling Online Marketers by posting on Forums and of course sharing your wisdom on the big three You Tube, Face Book and Twitter.

The last concept that Jason shared was the notion of utilizing the concept of the perpetual sales letter to provide valuable content to your target audience. Rather than answer the top 10 objections an just a Sales Letter, answer them perpetually over time in the content that you write. Once you couple that with the information that you are going to receive from your surveys, you will always be speaking to and addressing your customers needs and that insures your success.

As always, if this information provided value to you, then I invite you to Tweet it and share it with your Face Book following as we want to maximize the value that we provide our industry.

Whether your a newbie or a guru, I am sure we would all agree that time is our most precious asset. In Online and Network marketing, until you get your business producing on auto pilot the reality is that in order to achieve your goals you must invest the time.

In the absence of a significant investment of time, your chances of achieving your goals are not very good. In the face of that reality, tools that increase your efficiency and output become your best friend. The reason is beyond obvious, the more time you can save, the more time you can spend doing the things you want to do with the people you want to do them with.

If you are a family person, then these tools provide you with a way to spend more time with your family while you are building your business. It is a win-win.

I recently learned about a plugin for Firefox from John Jonas that I believe will become a valuable asset in your time saving arsenal. The plugin is called LastPass and I have been using it for about a week and I must say that it is outstanding.

Besides the fact that it is a top shelf tool, the best part about it is that it is FREE. Yes everyone’s favorite fou letter word FREE.

The one challenge that I can see is that folks that use multiple browsers may experience a bit of frustration due to the fact that the LastPass plugin only works on Firefox. The reality though is that if you are a serious Online or Internet Marketer, Firefox is the browser of choice as it works on both PCs and Macs and has so many powerful and time saving plugins that you would not be serving yourself well by not using it.

Which brings me to another plugin that I highly recommend, SEO Quake. If you are doing any kind of Search Engine Optimization, SEO Quake is an absolute must.

SEO Quake allows user to obtain and investigate many important SEO parameters including, PR, Google PageRank of current page, LD, Number of links, pointed to the current domain and Alexa Page Rank traffic estimation index to name three of more than thirty parameters that you can track.

I hope these Firefox plugins save you lots of time and help you get more of your goals accomplished. If you found this post valuable, I invite you to Tweet It and share it with your Facebook friends so that we maximize the value we are providing to the community.
