Whether youve been marketing through social media for some time or just a newbie just learning the ropes. Youve noticed that the majority of people in the social media are only dish out Me-too contents.

This is frustrating and somewhat spammy.  And so im listing the 5 COLD hard truth about social media marketing.

1) Give up your Best Valueable Stuff
Its alright if you want to be paid for all that you do. I mean its only human nature. But you have to earn your pay cheque and thats done by providing indispensible value.

As a great man once said, “You get paid for the amount of value you bring to the marketplace.”

+value = +$$$
–value = $0

You should be able to answer this single question, “Why should anyone bother reading or watch your material?”

2) Have a Life outside of social media

I know this is the problem for most social media fanatics. Please dont devote you’re reason for living entirely on social media. I mean, wouldnt social media marketing be sooo much easier if you never had to eat, sleep, shower, or spend time with your family.

When i first started i got caught in the hoopla of making as many friends through social media that i forgot to take a shower.

……………

Im just kidding.

You have to set some goals and be disciplined with them when it comes to social media marketing. Set a timer if you have to but please stay focused. They can easily distract from your overall goal.

3) BEWARE: DONT SELL on Social Media.

Dont you just hate those tweeps (term your refer to people on twitter)? You know what im talking about.

“Making Money from your Tweets? I am. Making >$20 a day on autopilot, Make money too TODAY http://bit.ly/6l9GAQ”

To be honest, its difficult to sell products/services through social media becuase people HATE being sold to. Even if you could recieve a bit of success, eventually you could end up getting kicked out of the social circle.

Its probably more effective to promote a great content or a free report than just promoting your product.

4)  Blogs are not your Holy Grail of Marketing Plan

If your planning to have your  blog as your only plan to gather traffic and customers then you’re selling yourself short. Blogs are great but it does not replace having a complete marketing plan.

Blog marketing is the best method to dish out your best materials into the marketplace. They even better when you have autoresponders, twitter, facebook, special reports and other tools.

You must have plan in place to turn strangers to fans.

5) Good Content will not Save a Bad Reputation.

Just remember, people with crappy products, business practices, and background will be exposed. You would be surprised how quickly words spread about a person and their brand.

Make sure you treat other people with respect or else you will pay for it dearly.

Thats dreaded word again—Procrastination.

We all hate it…but we’re all guilty of procrastinating. Yes, Im pointing to you and me as procrastinators.

Do you recall saying to yourself, “I’ll do this later,” “I think Monday is the perfect time to start,” and best one “I’ll make this my new years resolution.”

Then when the moment comes—life gets in the way—and you don’t end up taking action.

The mistake everyone is guilty of making at some point in their life. Waiting for the PERFECT time to take Action.

I’ll tell you right now the reason why we procrastinate so much…

…its because we don’t have a good enough REASON as to WHY we need to Take ACTION. (read it the second time to fully understand it)

Let me give you an example..If someone you love was held at gun point by a madman and that madman told you to generate an article or a video for next 90days or they will kill your love one. Would hesitate to produce the video? Would you hesitate to produce the article?

No matter what you’re doing at the moment, if someone threatened you or your love ones.. you would make damn sure there is TIME to post a video or an article.

So in order to overcome procrastination, you must find a reason why you are doing what you are doing.  If you’re in network marketing and you have to post video & articles to get people in your MLM opportunity, you must find the “WHY”. When you find the “WHY” I want you to announce it to your friends & family members and broadcast it in social media if you must.

Now stay focus on your WHYs and dont let anything distract you.

As You may already know.. “SEX” captures  attention.  I mean, You were immediately drawn to this post as soon as your eye caught the word “sexy” on my headline.  And you’re probably wondering, “Ok Mark…whats the point of this post?”

Let me ask you this…would you like to know what you can do to give your writing, sex appeal?

To be honest with you, its simpler than you think.

The key to sexy writing is…*voila*….FORMAT

You’re probably thinking to yourself…”Mark, thats it! Thats completely unsexy”

What I mean by format, is when you write, you want to avoid writing writing  sentences continuously without as much as giving a space for the words a chance to breathe.  These may look like big solid block of words.  Both you and I find these Solid Blocks highly unattractive.

There are 4 ways to make your writing MORE AttrAcTive,  Here it goes:

1) Use Bullets

You can either use these anywhere and are great to list KEY POINTS

2) Use “Quotes”

People generally love quotes. Because people are interested in what was said, not what you want to say.

3) Use Small paragraphs

Try using 1-2 lines per paragraphs and keep your readers guessing on length of your paragraphs.

4) Use Boxes

[Putting words in a box allows it to stand out more. People WILL read it. ]

Try out those pointers and your writing will become more very SEXY.

PS. Be sure to comment it would be very cool of you if you could.

What do you think is the most important element to success?
C’mon, think hard….figure it out yet?

Alright ill give you a tip..look in the mirror. Its easier than it seemed hey?!

Self image is so important because by understanding your self-image and by learning to modify it and manage it to best suit your purposes you can gain super confidence and power.

You may not realize it but we all carry with us a mental blueprint of ourselves. It may not be as clear as day but it is there. To clarify what self image is, its our own belief of the “person I am” down to the last detail.
These belief were built from past experiences, failures, successes, our interaction with other people, more so from our childhood experiences. A mental picture of ourselves is then constructed and this picture becomes the “Truth” that we act on.

Every action, behavior, and abilities are Always consisted with the self-image. In fact, you will always act like the type of person you believe yourself to be regardless of how much conscious effort or willpower to resist your self-image.

You cannot  escape your self-image for long. Even if you are able to put a patch on your self-image, eventually, you’ll  be snapped back  to your original self image.

Remember, a person who sees themselves as a “quitter type of person” will almost always find some way to quit regardless of the person’s willpower or how easy their opportunity they’re in.

There are ways to improve your self-image. Some say that positive thinking can improve your self-image.

In my opinion, positive thoughts is not that effective because you can’t simply put a patch on your “true” self image and expect to see results.  So long as the person still hold negative picture of themselves, every action that the person takes will reflect their self-image.

The most effective way to improve your self-image is to first change YOU.   By first changing your mental picture of yourself, everything you do will stay consistent with the new picture.

Heres the simple truth:

Successfully getting a hold of your most qualified leads is the most crucial part of your long-term success in network marketing, regardless of what or who you are selling to.

The majority of people who fail in MLM, fail because they run out of qualified leads and do not know how to utilize target prospect marketing.

How many times have your up-line told you to show EVERYONE your business, which includes your family and friends?
