Quality versus Quantity – Social Marketing Strategies

Published August 23, 2010 by Donna Merrill

I have taken many classes, joined many groups, taken so many “masters in internet marketing and social media” advice. I have applied some internet marketing strategies, and some I have not.

In this post, I want to share with you what works for me.

I am not a PPC or PPV kind of gal. In my heart and soul I prefer Social Media. To be an internet marketer we do need numbers in our sales funnel. But what kind of numbers are we really getting? If you have large numbers in your funnel, do you really know who these people are?

It is my experience that Social media marketing is just that – Social!

3 Helpful Hints For Using Facebook As An Internet Marketing Strategies

Published August 17, 2010 by Donna Merrill

Facebook is a wonderful social network whereby you can create friends and syndicate others in your niche. The problem is so many people look at numbers. And folks, it is NOT about numbers. It is about quality.

When I go onto someone’s Facebook and I see games, too many posts on what someone ate for dinner, or even a syndication link that takes me to a direct sales page, I personally do not want them on mine.

I have my Facebook filled with others in my niche giving value, because when someone comes on to my Facebook, it is a reflection on me. Many of my friends give valuable content or share links that they’d like to syndicate for others. All this gives value to my readers.

My Secret Dream… Revealed

Published August 8, 2010 by Donna Merrill

Did you ever have an experience that was personal and you went public with it? It is so difficult to do because deep down in your belief system there is a part of you that is so strong, but you cannot share it because you go into a “fear place.” That was the case with my secret dream.

But I made my secret dream public this past week. I try not to bring to the table things such as religion and politics. I do however have a dream that underlies all my online activity. One that keeps me up until 3 a.m. writing, working and syndicating to realize my dream.

Sometimes our goals are private and we really don’t want to share them with others. It is something we have deep in our hearts. I have shared my goal on a piece of paper, drawing a tree with branches… and on the top I placed my true goal. Each branch contained an opportunity in my business. Things I needed to work on. Also things I needed to snip off, to make my tree strong and healthy.

On top of the tree is my secret goal. One I strive for. It is not for myself, because I am truly happy with the means to the goal… the process of internet marketing via Social Media. It is through this process that I have grown to create beautiful relationships and solid business partners. Continue Reading

Ground Yourself Once A Day!

Published July 27, 2010 by Donna Merrill

A tip to ground yourself is to take a quick break.

Go to a quiet place, and stand closing your eyes. Imagine that there is a red ball of fire in the center of the earth. Take that red energy and visualize it on the bottom of your feet. Then slowly bring it up through your legs, up your body to your head. Stay there for a moment. Realize that you are grounded. It is so important during your busy work day to re-focus your energy. It is like taking a power nap!

So give yourself a break today from all the hectic energy, ground and you will be refreshed and have a clear perspective on the rest of your day. Blessings, Donna

Linked In – 5 Ways To Make It A Valuable Source Of Online Marketing

Published July 26, 2010 by Donna Merrill

I have been using Linked In for a while now. First, it was simply to communicate with some friends and clients. Then I started joining groups that were interesting to me. All of a sudden I realized that Linked In is the best kept secret source of meeting people to engage with your online marketing content.

Here are some tips based on what it is working for me.

First: Write a good profile so people can find you. Do a profile that is simple and not too spammy. At first, I listed all my business opportunities (MLMs). Then, through trial and error, I simply sent people to my blog because that is my central hub. Linked In works just like any other social media in that respect. Send friends to your blog where they can learn more about you. Continue Reading

What’s Holding You Back From Success?

Published July 19, 2010 by Donna Merrill

You have your blog up and running. You are giving great content. You have your affiliate links in place, and you may have your own products or business opportunity in place too. You are doing EVERYTHING you have been taught.

You may be a great Social Networker or PPC developer, but still, something’s holding you back.

Are you aware of what it is? You may have studied many Law of Attraction techniques. You may have taken all the marketing courses you need. But inside of you there is that “ugh” feeling. We, as internet marketers, have to keep ourselves fine tuned in order to perform at peak level. Last week I was super fine tuned by my friend Sandhan. Below is a video that describes that remarkable experience. Continue Reading

FINDING YOUR NICHE – PART 2

Published July 12, 2010 by Donna Merrill

In Part one of FINDING YOUR NICHE we covered several issues. here are the next steps to take

The next key issue in finding your niche is to profile the audience you’ll find in that niche.

Whether you are selling products or information related to dogs, health and beauty, travel, or anything else, you must ask yourself “who will my audience/readers be? Baby boomers? Single people? Work at home moms? MLM people?

Sometimes it takes a little time blogging to realize who YOU are attracting. Is it the 24 to 30 crowd? Older people striving to be young and healthy?

You can do some preliminary profiling, though to see what sort of people are already involved in a certain niche. You can even turn to your own existing social media sites for some indicators. For instance, are you being friended on Facebook mostly by males or females?

You can learn a lot about your current friends and subscribers on Youtube and Facebook by exploring “Insight”. It will give you information on how many men, women, and different ages are hitting and commenting on your social networks. It can be surprising sometimes. And you may have an “aha” moment where you realize that you are already attracting a certain group of people. If the niche you are considering is not relevant to the organic following you’ve already developed, you might want to consider a different niche, or tweak the niche to your current crowd.

Finding Your Niche – Part 1

Published July 6, 2010 by Donna Merrill

FINDING YOUR NICHE - PART ONE

When we speak about finding your niche, it is not as complicated as you might think. It basically gets down to looking inside of yourself to see where your passions truly lie.

Once you’ve done that, you can be a bit more scientific about it by doing keyword searches, checking out the social media and reviewing ads on Google to see what the general online interest is in your niche.

For instance, if your passion is dogs, you might put various keywords into Google to see what sort of people are out there in your niche already, how much activity they seem to be generating, and what the Google ads on the search page are selling.

MARK HOVERSON’S Q&A WEBINAR BLEW MY MIND!

Published June 27, 2010 by Donna Merrill

MARK HOVERSON’S Q&A WEBINAR BLEW MY MIND!

I joined Jonathan Budd and Mark Hoverson “MLM Launch Formula” recently. I am part of the 7 Figure Networker System and am always blown away from the information and support I get from it. So I couldn’t miss this one!

Module 1 was released this past Monday, with a follow-up Q&A session on Friday. It was a pretty busy night for me this past Friday. I had appointments overlapping each other all day. But my mouth was watering to get on the first Q&A webinar with Mark Hoverson. I have taken classes from him in the past, and he is an excellent teacher. Mark makes things real. He always gives a plethora of information in his teaching modules.

Out of all the valuable information I received, I want to share some of the gems I learned just from Mark’s Q&A webinar.
