Optimize Your Facebook Marketing with INTENTION

July 18, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

I’m so excited to let you know Nika Stewart the Laptop Mom is  our guest expert this week for both:

1) a tweet chat (#IAWBOchat) Tuesday night at 8pm ET

2) a teleclass Thursday at 1pm ET

We’re diving deep on the topic of Social Media!!

One of the big frustrations Nika and I hear from our clients is that “Facebook can be a huge waste of time.”

Yes it definitely can BUT, not if you start with INTENTION. The rest of this article is a guest post from Nika.

Don’t waste another second on Facebook if you aren’t clear on your intention. Your intention affects your actions.  When you have a clear intent, you are much more likely to reach your goals.

So what is your Facebook Intention?

Here are some ideas of intentions that can be easily achieved and effective on Facebook:

* Building your Brand: If you want to evoke specific impressions of your company’s branding, make sure that everything you post and everything you do is in line with your image.

* Driving traffic to your blog: Post compelling titles and exciting summaries that link to specific posts on your blog.

* Getting offline media attention: Connect with people in the media, pr agents, publicity specialists.  Make sure your posts are newsworthy, and show that you are a true expert in a very specific niche.

* Fostering word of mouth: Connect with your current and past clients.  Connect with their friends.  Join in their conversations.  See what they are talking about, and add value.

* Gathering a tribe of ideal prospects: Join groups that include your target audience.  ‘Like’ pages of related topics.  Post valuable, generous tips often.

* Search engine optimization: The search engines love social media because it is constantly updated.  Post status updates often, and use the keywords that your ideal prospects are searching for.

* Educating yourself: Listen to what your customers and prospects are talking about.  Ask them what they need.  Join in conversations.  Then use this knowledge to improve your business offerings.

Yes, you can “build your business” on Facebook, but not by doing it directly.  Promoting yourself all the time isn’t going to win you new clients.

NOW, TAKE ACTION: Get clear on your “sub-intention” (perhaps one of the intentions listed above?), focus your effort towards that goal, and watch your business grow naturally and authentically as a result. (It will feel really rewarding too!)

AND… get more easy social media tips on our free call, Thursday July 21st at 1:00 p.m. ET.

(Note: Registration for this call is being managed by Nika and her team. When you click the link you’ll be directed to a special page created for this call xo)

Take It Up a Notch (or ten) Series Part 1 of 10: A Don’t Just Do It REALLY Do It Challenge

June 14, 2011 By admin Leave a Comment

George Bailey - a don't just do it REALLY do it kind of guy

If you’ve been following me for a while you’ll recognize the title of this blog “Don’t Just Do It… REALLY Do It” as one of my success mantras.

I rarely do anything for the fluff factor. (Fluff is for pillows!)

My goal – always – is to fully engage and take action like a pro. Kinda like George Bailey from the classic movie It’s a Wonderful Life. Have you seen it? It’s my all time favorite.

So you wont be surprised that this quote caught my eye the other day <grin>.

“After all is said & done, a lot more will have been said than done.” ~ Author Unknown

It got me thinking about how often this is the case. How knowing what to do doesn’t necessarily = actually doing it.

The how-to’s are not the issue. The internet, Google… it’s all at our finger tips 24/7. It’s the application of the how-to’s that has become the problem.

So I want to challenge YOU – the amazing success-driven women in business online that I love to motivate – to pay very close attention to the possible disconnect between your goals and the actual steps you are taking to achieve them.

Check in with yourself… are you more committed to the success (you say) you desire or the comfort of the status quo?

And, let’s take it one step further, and I hope you’ll play with me on this by commenting below…

What is ONE purposeful action you can take this week to really lean in and show up like you mean it doing something better or bigger than ever before (or have been putting off entirely)?

Dreams don’t become reality on their own… so let’s start building that bridge between your dreams and your dreams come true! From this day forward let’s commit to being action takers, movers and shakers!

Need I say more?

~ Gina

P.S. “Don’t just do it, really do it” is just one of my success mantras. Spend the next six months with me in the Success Rituals Online program to learn the mindsets, marketing, models and more that fuel a successful multiple streams of income business like mine. xo

Someone Burst Your Bubble? Here’s How to Bounce Back Fast!

June 14, 2011 By admin 16 Comments

Looking for the event you clicked on in the ezine? Click here.

Have you ever experienced an unexpected backlash or negative reaction after putting yourself out there with a new product, program or service? Often the trolls come out in response to an email or blog post too. Been there? I sure have.

Some gurus celebrate these “war wounds” as an indicator of being noticed. The jury is still out for me on that. What I do know is the first time it happened, my initial reaction was to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out. It’s (almost) enough to make you want to quit.

And about two years ago I was completely blindsided by the reaction to a new program a partner and I were planning to launch. It really knocked me for a loop. People can be really mean!

When I was in the midst of the frustration, anger, self-doubt and plain old stuckness that comes with any kind of response you’re not prepared for, my intuition kicked into gear and I reached out to my mastermind for… help. [Read more...]
