What’s the number one thing preventing you from sharing more usable ‘content’ via social media networks?
How much more would you produce and share if you understood that intelligent content (you know, the ‘free stuff’ you post online) generates sales and increases the ROI of ‘Brand YOU’?
Chris Brogan wrote a terrific post about ‘Feeding Your System‘ that I think you should read because it echoes what I preach on a daily basis: Building and distributing killer content isn’t just for fun, it’s the most important/effective step towards building profitable relationships.
This doesn’t just apply to businesses, either! If you are a college student or freelance consultant, you’d better get your brand on NOW. It would blow your mind how many conversations I have, speeches I am invited to give, and opportunities to consult that come my way thanks to sharing on the social Web.
What I am really saying is:
- Become an active participant in the online world
- Build your own social media empire (blogs, social profiles, PR)
- Connect with everyone: Business owners, friends, people who need your help
- Drive your brand higher by chasing specific goals
It’s Not About Me
