Facebooking, blogging, and firing negative people

Monday, April 12th, 2010

The last few days of my six figure income challenge have involved Facebooking, including:

-Seeking out all of my personal Edge Marketing System referrals and adding them as friends.

-Touching base with potential prospects in FB

-Reviewing all of the “Suggestions” and inviting a lot of them to be friends.

I’ve also done some blogging and sent out an e-mail blast to my list.

The other epiphany I’ve had is to fire negative people. There’s not many in my life, but those few can be LOUD! So I realized I just have to not respond anymore to people that are consistently negative. I allowed just one or two some airtime in my life recently and realized it wasn’t getting me, or them, anywhere.

Was it Charlie “Tremendous” Jones that said that the five years from now you’ll be the exact same person you are now except for the books you read and the people you associate with? Something like that. So I’ve had a strong reminder lately that I need to commit to the positive, motivating ones and cut ties with those that aren’t!

Day 28: Promoting Your Facebook Fanpage

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Day 28 of my six figure income from home challenge brought this excellent question from an Edge Marketing System user:

Dave, I have been following a lot of your trainings on switching from facebook personal to fan pages.  I have created two fan pages, but now I am trying to drive people to become a fan.  How do I do this?
It was easy the other way, just send out friend requests, but I have not found your training on how to drive people to my fan pages.   I am a member of the edge marketing system.  I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dan Putnam when he came to MN for an event with Jerry Zink. I work nights so getting to your webinars is difficult, so  do you have any advice for me?   Can I view some archives someplace for the webinars that cover driving traffic to my fan pages?
Thank you very much

Warmly,
Doug S, WI

Great question, here are my thoughts on it:

1. I would just have one, not two. Much easier to manage. Keeping up a blog, facebook, youtube etc. is enough work without adding anything else!

2. Don’t drive traffic there as aggressively as you drive traffic to your sales pages. So don’t sweat it too much. Natural growth is good growth. Notice in the signature of my e-mail I include links to my various websites, you should do the same thing.

3. Create a Fanbox on your blog, as I have done on: http://escapethematrix.net/blog where people can join your page from your blog.

4. As you upload stuff to your Fanpage, notify your friends.

That’s about it. Remember, it’s a supplement to your marketing and branding, but not a primary effort. So don’t sweat it too much, allow natural growth, and keep active on it.

Thanks,

Dave
