Attraction Marketing Lesson 11 - The Power of Social Media

If you are over 50 years old or enjoy attending musical
theater, then you are sure to remember the song I Feel
Pretty from West Side Story. I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright! And I pity Any girl who
isn't me tonight. 

I feel charming, Oh, so charming It's alarming how charming
I feel! And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real. 

See the pretty girl in that mirror there: Who can that
attractive girl be? Such a pretty face, Such a pretty
dress, Such a pretty smile, Such a pretty me! 

I feel stunning And entrancing, Feel like running and
dancing for joy

Its hard not to smile to yourself when hearing this song.
The character Maria is feeling pretty doggone good about
herself as she sings about her new boyfriend. When people
have friends and good news they want to share it with
others. When other people make us feel good about
ourselves, we want to share that too. So is it any wonder
that online social media tools have grown with such vigor?

You can look pretty or as handsome or funny or cute or
anything else you want when you post pictures of yourself
online. And you can tell all your friends about the good
things happening in your life. Now convert that social
interaction to social interaction with a business purpose
and you are using Law of Attraction marketing.

Approximately 80% of all internet users visited a Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram and other social media sites. That is an
enormous number and proof that mainstream media is not the only
dog in the marketing fight. You can reach out directly to your
current or potential customers with no one in the middle
misinterpreting your message. Social media is Law of Attraction
marketing at its absolute best. With social media you can share
your positive approach to life; your honest desire to help
others in some way; your upbeat view of your products or
services; reveal your passion for your business; and even have
some fun. Create a group of customers who read your social media
page or tweets and keep in regular contact with them. The same
rule applies though. The information you put on your social
media sites needs to:

 Have information value to your customers (target them!)

 Be honest (no pictures of you 20 years ago unless honestly
labeled as such)

 Not be overtly commercial (this is a social site after all)

 Build your brand

 Create and maintain a solid reputation

 Contain solid content

 Show real interest in the online community

 Promote your expertise

 Encourage your social media site visitors to contact you

Social media offers you an excellent opportunity to get
people talking about your business in a positive way. The
Law of Attraction says to maintain focus on what you want
and it will become reality. Keep your focus in everything
you add to your Face-book or other social media sites and
this is a marketing tool that can bring you pre-screened
and engaged customers. Use social media wisely and let the
Law of Attraction work for you!

Early in this discussion there was a reference to network
marketing. Unfortunately network marketing has gotten a bad
rap over the years thanks to some unscrupulous marketers.
But network marketing is gaining a reputable reputation
again thanks to online sites like Face-book and LinkedIn. 

The social media sites are really networking at its finest.
Network marketing is not a business in and of itself. It is
a method of sharing information or of distributing product.
There are many reliable companies that sell both online and
offline using a system of network marketing strategies.
Companies like Herbalife, Avon and many others are network
marketing companies that have been in business a long time.

So when someone tells you that you need to use network
marketing to grow your business, there is nothing wrong
with that. In fact, you want network marketing to work for
you. When you blog, create a Face-book page and invite
friends, or ask your mother to buy something and to
convince her best friend to buy also  you are network
marketing!


This message on Law of Attraction marketing would be remiss
if it did not introduce you to some social sites with a
twist. These are information/news sharing and bookmarking
sites you can personalize. You can share news reports,
articles, web pages, images, photos and anything else. The
sites rank the information supplied based on votes cast by
other users. When you request it, information you are
interested in is fed to you using tags, bookmarks or other
preference indicators. 

These sites are called bookmark and/or social news sites
because they let you save and share links to other websites
or web based information of interest. You can use these
sites to create additional interest in yourself and your
business, but they are powerhouses for learning what
internet users are interested in and what catches their
attention. Even the tags other people assign to their
bookmarks is useful marketing information.

StumbleUpon lets you share websites and you can include
your own. You indicate your personal preferences and then
indicate you want to Stumble. The website then delivers web
pages previously recommended by Stumble users that fit your
preferences. You rate the websites and then share them. You
can also make comments. This is a great way to locate
plenty of marketing information and keep you in touch with
what savvy internet users are looking for. The delivery of
web pages can save you lots of time reviewing search engine
results. As the Stumble website says, Information on the
internet changes rapidly. StumbleUpon is a dynamic approach
to keep on top of this ever-evolving pool of knowledge.
StumbleUpon filters through the vast amount of information
on the web to direct Stumblers to high quality web sites
which are relevant to their personal interests.

Digg is very similar to StumbleUpon. You submit videos,
news reports, and images and all the other members can vote
on it by giving it a Digg. You dig itget it? Its kind
of an old expression for a very modern social media
activity. Members vote on the submissions and can also make
comments. When a submission gets enough votes, it appears
on the Digg front page. You can connect your Digg pace with
Face-book too. Here is a screenshot of the Digg homepage.
Notice the front page submissions and the number of
thumbs-up Diggs notated. Those are member votes. 

Delicious is yet another bookmark site where you can submit your
favorite items from the web. You vote on the ones you like
the most and eventually they bubble up to the top as the
most popular as more votes are registered. You can organize
your bookmarked sites based on your preferences and make it
a lot easier to keep track of websites you like or need to
access frequently. 

All of the bookmark and social news sites let you tag your
bookmarks. The tag is a keyword that lets others find the
bookmarks you created. You can assign multiple tags to the
bookmark. There are other social information sharing sites
but these three are three of the largest.
