Ladies & gentlemen, with this,(being) the third installment, of this ongoing series, about how and why, you definitely be to effectively utilizing some type of proven power and or business networking, in some form or another.
Hopefully, you are no longer questioning the “if” part of the equation, as much as the “how” part! Correct?
Because either you and or your major competitors, are about to make a quantum leap in the overall (upward) trajectory of your business or service.
And you know who I’ll personally be rooting for correct? That said, unless or until, you get crystal clear and start effectively and pro-actively utilizing this under used, almost totally neglected asset.
You’re not very likely, to move off center, nearly as fast or as far, as your major competitors, that finally decide to add some, (good old fashion) power networking to their overall marketing mix.Don’t you agree?
How Can Or Does Practically Any Type Of Serious Profit Seeking Entrepreneur Continually Benefit From Some Good Old Fashion Power Networking?
(Especially When You’re Just Starting Out And Your Real World Experiences And Readily Available Capital Is Extremely Limited!)
Before we actually tackle that train of thought head on!(Or at least attempt to!) Ladies & gentlemen, let me quickly (reemphasize), a thought originally shared in part one, that will tie everything together nice and neat in part three.
When, (or if) you’re just starting on your blogging journey.One of the mega proven (blog promoting)strategies you will be highly encouraged to do, is approach some highly influential bloggers, (both) within and outside of your primary niche.
Whenever Possible Leverage Other More Experienced And Or Successful Marketers Resources And Or Assets!
So ask about being considered as a (either) a one time and or, (some type of) ongoing guest blogger of some kind. So you can leverage their extremely loyal and established audiences, and hopefully grow yours in the process a well!
And while that’s certainly all good, and an extremely noble and lofty goal to pursue.I want you to also, (seriously) consider the following perspective/ train of thought!
Because doing so will hopefully open your eyes (wide), to what a complete stranger is really asking of these highly influential bloggers!
There Is Simply No Question Serious Entrepreneurs Have To Get Really Good At Some Form Of Power Networking!(Really Fast!)
Entrepreneur, for just a moment, (I want you to imagine), that you’ve got a child and you’re looking for a temporary caretaker/ baby sitter, to look after your child, for (say) fives hours,(give or take.) While you’re handling some other very important business.
And your two “final” choices, (potential candidates) comes down to the following two individuals.
You (honestly) tell me, which (if) any of these two, you would decide to temporarily trust with the temporary caring of your child with!
Candidate A has virtually little or no real world or practical experience. Or candidate B, who not only has some real world experience.
But they also, have an extremely impressive list, of satisfied current or former customers, (testimonials), who are more than willing to provide some type of social proof.
Candidate A or B? (I thought so!) So let’s put this into perspective, with regards to successful online marketing/blogging strategies.
It’s Far Easier And A Whole Lot More Profitable To Build Your Sales Funnel With Tons Of Prospects Who Know,Like And Trust You!
If you wouldn’t trust the temporary care of your kids to a relatively new, (complete) stranger for obvious reasons!
Why in the world, (should) or would a highly influential blogger, temporarily allow a complete stranger, access to their extremely valuable audience?
After all, the newbie blogger, has virtually no audience to speak of! Right? They’ve got very few, (if any) blog posts on their site!
They have virtually no, and or, (at best), an extremely small opt in email list!
So what can possibly be in it for a highly influential blogger, to temporarily share their audience, with such an unproven blogger?Bingo!
Especially since they’ve literally got insider access to far more established bloggers/baby sitters, they can easily turn to!
Hopefully you’re starting to see the how and the why, you definitely need to be an active part, of some form of power networking! Correct?
Being An Entrepreneur Will Definitely Serve Your Power Networking Mindset! (If You Let It!)
So let’s quickly get back to our extremely savvy, hypothetical jeweler case study, from part one. With their (single) location, that’s not exactly in the most sought after, prime time commercial real estate section of the city/town.
And since they definitely can’t rely on the high amount of daily foot traffic, since they’re currently located, off the main beat & path.
That’s why it will definitely help, if you can locate, a few upscale hair and nail salon owners to begin with.
And you, a relative and or a few of your staff members, quickly become regular customers of theirs, provided their current customer base, fits your ideal customer/clientele as well.
And you deck (both) the owners and their staff out and have them literally dripping, with some of your most popular, eye catching bling! That you gladly sell them at your actual cost!
And watch “how” fast and “how” wide, and how often they continuously spread the word, both on and offline!8-) Especially all over their social media accounts, right?
And they’ll gladly do so, 24/7!And the really cool part is entrepreneur!
Effective Power Networking Is The Social Currency Of Extremely Savvy Entrepreneurs!
Unlike those outrageously expensive, traditional advertising mediums, like local TV, radio and or Sunday newspaper inserts etc!
That both you and the vast majority of your major local competitors, virtually live or die off!Correct?
These highly respected “goodwill ambassadors” ,will constantly be posting pictures of their newly acquired bling, all over the various social media platforms!Right?
(Think about this entire, “viral positive word of mouth & mouse” process for just a second!)
Their customers, closest friends, relatives, kids, friends of spouses and or in laws etc; will constantly be exposed, in a really positive way, to some of your most popular and eye catching bling!
You don’t think, at least some of them, will definitely want to know, “how” they can at least (get) partially hooked up as well?And you don’t think, at least some of them will go and share your customers good fortune stories, with both their professional and personal networks!
Are you freaking kidding me?My friend, that simple, (second generation), chain reaction of events, is a small sample of what you, (and or) your major competitors, can definitely expect, when you add a little, “battlefield tested” power networking, to your long term marketing mix!Don’t you agree?
