When you put a pencil to it in terms of “what” you’re actually investing per hour. In order to take your pick. Do your own version of on or off page SEO (Search Engine Optimization.) Or “how” much effort is involved in terms of constantly building your own social media following and presence.
If you’re own Instagram or Linkedin or whatever. And you’re posting consistently or occasionally boosting your post. Or you’re running your own podcast or consistently guest podcasting. As well as publishing new content consistently.
Or perhaps (like me) you’ve got a fairly active self hosted WordPress blog. Whatever you’re doing ladies and gentlemen. It’s still more than worth it for you and I to be systematically building your network of potential JV (Joint Venture) or strategic partnerships.
As well as some reliable cross promotional partners of all kinds. Don’t you agree?
It’s The Compound Effect Of The Compound Effect Which Puts You Or Your Major Competitors Light Years Ahead!
Here’s ‘what” I mean. As some of you know. I was recently of the “smartagents” podcast hosted by Michael Walter.
(That’s he and I pictured below BTW. All you have to do is just click the image to watch the entire high octane 33 minute episode on youtube.)
Here’s “why” I’m sharing this with you. During the recording. Michael freely shared each episode (after it gets ) professionally edited of course. It of course gets published all over social media. Plus the link also gets sent to their 150,000 opt in subscribers.
(Entrepreneur do all of your current opt in email subscriber lists combined total anywhere near 150,000? No worries because neither do mine. Here’s the point.
Do you wanna continue to wait until you have either a single opt in list or a combined one of anywhere near that number? Me neither. So hopefully you can appreciate “why” it definitely makes sense for you and I to be constantly building your network.
Some Type Of Ongoing Power Networking Is Definitely The Springboard To Additional Marketing Exposure!
Just depending on when you’re actually reading this particular post. Some of you already know I’m scheduled to be a guest on former original cast member “Kevin Harrington” of ABC’s runaway hit series “Shark Tank.”
He and best selling author “Seth Greene” now have their own mega hit podcast called “Sharkpreneur.” And this July 5th 2022. Yours truly is scheduled to appear on it.
(Now in full disclosure. Ladies & gentlemen as far as I know. It will only be Seth and myself on this particular episode. )
But “what” I’m far more interested in, is “how” downloads each episode averages. And I already their show is featured on every major podcast distributor on the planet.
So I’m definitely looking (going forward!) to be able to say and print “as recently seen on Kevin Harrington and Seth Greene’s “Sharkpreneur” podcast.
Talk about being able to strategically leverage a world recognized brand for literally pennies on the dollar.
You And I Can Literally Waste An Entire Lifetime Trying To Build Our Own Audience And Influence Anywhere Near The Size And Overall Reach Of The Major Players Currently Walking The Planet!
Or we can get strategic and start leveraging (as often as you/we can!) the major influencer-s among us. Let their reach and influence do the heavy lifting for us. Here’s a rather eye opening stat for you to chew on.
According to Kevin Harrington himself. During an interview he did with mega personality Ed Mylett. Even while Kevin was an original cast member of “Shark Tank.” (He left just as season two. It’s now going on season 13.
On average about 50,000 hopefuls apply to be on the show. But here’s the scary part. Only about 300 are actually selected. You do the math and this means only six tenths of one percent actually get invited on the show. For whatever reasons.
And by comparison. Only two percent of the best of the best “A” students in America. Who apply to go to Harvard actually get accepted. So statistically speaking.
The best of the best in America. Has a better chance of being accepted into Harvard. Than the typical applicant has of being accepted on “Shark Tank.” I’m not sure what the actual numbers are for being accepted on “Sharkpreneur.” But I’ll bet the odds of an unknown such as myself aren’t very good. Would you not agree?
So going forward entrepreneur. Are you now of the mindset. It’s definitely worth the effort to be systematically building your network? I sincerely hope so.
