Trial & Error

Well.... This branding yourself and DNA babble I was referring to from the most awesomist book "Crush It" is pretty cool and most definitly a fun experimentation. Also, learning some tricks from my team about how to drive traffic to A website.

These are the few things I have been experimenting with in step by step "protocol"

Step 1: Add Value to your readers. So how much value is it to them when you are crying for a following? "Hey Look at me" ~ Not Much Value, eh? Hence, the interesting reads, eye catching articles, informative techniques, anything that you have knowledge on other than just what you are selling would be creating a larger following. So they say. My experiment here is to just be me, my positive self. Then throw a funny post here, a personal post there, something work related there. Keeping an interest in a multitude of followers not just the ones you want to streamline.

Step 2: Don't give up. If someone showed interested don't bombard them with your content, just drop in here and there kind of to remind them your still out there. If & when they are interested in checking it out.

Step 3: Help others. Take into consideration that if you have a few others working on this type of Marketing whether it be the same business or not sharing content can and will broaden the marketing group. Case in point, right now I have only 2 followers, I just started this only a few short weeks ago. I am not growing but I am putting content out there. Those 2 followers though may have 10 followers, hence I may have just moved my small 2 to a not so small 12 in followers, helping my content reach a few more friends.... Who might just start liking my posts and realize they will want to follow what I am writing about....

Make Sense. This isn't all that I have learned from the book Crush It. So all you business builders, I encourage you to get the book and read it. I have another book on the way hoping to get another AWESOME Lesson from it.

I started working For MySelf, Not By Myself in January 2011. This is a genuine experience and wonderful Experiment for me. Hoping y'all have A FAB Day...
