Building Your Own Business: Entrepreneur Are You Sure That’s What You’re Doing?
How active are you on social media? And “how” many platforms are you currently active on? And how often do you post to these platforms? Is it once or twice a day or week or what?
The point is. If you or any agency you hired. Or plan on hiring, is devoting the vast majority of their effort and your extremely hard earned money. Simply building your social media followers.
My friend you’re probably not building your own business or service. Because if strategic email marketing isn’t also on your ‘to do” list.
You’re working incredibly hard alright. But you’re building someone else’s business or service. Not necessarily yours. That’s not the way to go. Don’t you agree?
Why And How Being A Successful Entrepreneur Starts And Stops With What You Do Or Don’t Do On A Daily Basis!
Contrary to some of the noise you constantly see, read or hear online. As long as you’re actually and constantly moving in the right direction. It’s not about “how” large or small your very own opt in email list.
Building or consistently building your own opt in email list definitely gives you options. Not having one doesn’t. Or having your own self hosted blog. WordPress or otherwise. Gives you and I or your major competitors the opportunity to power network.
As often as you like BTW. Because you post value driven content on your blog as often or as infrequent as you like. You can also embed your top JV (Joint Venture) or cross promotional partners videos as often as you like.
You can strategically comment on other experts blog post. And systematically drive laser targeted traffic back to your blog. You can also allow other experts to periodically guest blog on your self hosted blog.
You Can’t Force Another Online Marketer To Promote Your Content!
As you watch the episode replay of the “ETA”/ Entrepreneurs Taking Action.” With the one and only Christina Hooper of sparkitive.com fame.
She promotes me and other featured experts via her awesome podcast. And I and other featured expert podcast guests enthusiastically share the links to our appearances. Plus share our appearance links with our email subscribers and social media followers.
Even ‘if” your/our social media accounts get temporarily or permanently shutdown. You know you’re definitely building your own business or service when your in control of some of the assets or resources you systematically leverage.
Even your relevant video(s) or guest posts are welcome here. As long as they serve my tribe your welcome here. You never know “if” or when one or all of your social media accounts will be temporarily or permanently shutdown.
But having your own self hosted WordPress blog gives you both the ultimate flexibility and control over your value driven content.
So What Are You Doing On A Daily Basis To Systematically Build Your Own Business Or Service?
You may or may not find this hard to believe. But the owners of the social media platforms won’t miss your/our ad dollars. 😀 Of course if you’re attempting to fast track scaling your business or service.
You definitely need to be systematically A/B split testing your paid ad campaigns. So you can discontinue the losers. And double down on the winners.
But investing both your time and money trying to build your social media followers. That’s just building someone else’s business. And truth told they may or may not appreciate it. 😀
Sure everybody, (myself definitely included!) Would love to build our opt in lists at warp speed! But as long as you/we are systematically moving forward. That’ what ultimately counts.
So you be the ultimate judge. Are you systematically building your own business or service? Or are you systematically building someone else’s?
You can continue to build someone else’s. But “where’s” the ultimate payoff for you? And the time invested building someone else’s business. When does it leave you the needed time and effort to build yours?
