- Before we get startedThis is a preview for a 6 week course that starts in a weekCurrently the price of the course is $97 which is a complete stealBut this discount will disappear as soon as we are done with the call and the price will increase – I really want to reward people taking actionThere is a complete 60-day no-surprises full-refund guarantee if you decide the course is not for you so you really have nothing to lose but the savings you won’t get unless you enroll right now – before I hang up the phone –simply click on the ENROLL button on the lower right or just go to instantglobalimpact.comBut we’ll talk more about the mechanics of the course later on –let’s dive in
- (double check this against action content)===The course is divided into six modules, let’s dive into our first module which is FAQS
- Blogs and social media is a mindset – it is a point of view. In our first module we learn the basic vocabulary around blogs and social media – by the end of the first week you’ll have an expert overview of how blogs and social media connects to past trends and technologies and acts as a bridge into to the future===But first the most important question in the world:
- Usually diary – politics, gossip, cats, what I had for lunchStarted off from geeks – 8 feet of snow - notepadHow it works - you login anywhere to your blog platform via browser simple online form like a wordprocessor – if you can send an emailyou write anything, upload anything text, stories, links, posts, images, videos, pdfs, whatever you wantyou click publish everything is automatcialy updatedWhat’s important is the howyou go back to building your business===Blogs fit into the trend of consumer generated media or user generated content – the notion of normal people publishing in formats traditionally considered only for prpofessionsals and corporations – really this is just another term for folk art – from the print press to the photocopier to the first dot matrix printer hooked up to our commodore 64 – to the underground newspaper I ran in middleshcool – self-publishing is here and is a relatively new ideaYou are creating stuffAs blogging has become more and more mainstream, blogers find them feel stranded and disconnectedLots of links between blogs and content but the notion of identity was starting to become more importantVoiceWhich brings us to social media
- It’s always been socialEmailForumsIMInternet as layer – no longer a destination- integrated all around us –fairy dust/slimeBlogs about links between documents and ideas – SM is people(rest of slide)===Creating stuff – and sharing stuffBut not just the media – but the web that connects it togetheramplifies your message- Just like blogs were everyone, everywhere, any dvice, any langauge, all channels, all formatsdeeper connection to your next customer – conections betweenpoeple=== is blogging dead?No no really – it isn’t dead anymore than email or forums etc are dead – not dead – just evolved they like pronouncing things deadthey’re kinda douche-ythey are attracted to bright shiny objectsthey failed to see blogging in context of the greater social media trendsWhich bring us to a very strange problem
- Large media companies – solo folks are worried about this
- ====And this si why you’re screwed
- Blog as cms (explain CMS history/trend/low cost/everyone has one now)Hopefully this helped put thing into context and in this particular mdule we also look atHow blogs help you take your ideas to market within hours instead of daysWhy blogs make money and how social media amplifies your profitsHow social media creates visibility and generates leadsA guided tour of the best blogs out there ===you don’t need a website anymore
- Once we’ve gotten the ‘grunt work’ out of the way – we get to dive into not just the mechanics of blogging – but more important:You could just get started – and I use to teach that immediately but you’ll have much more success if you figure outWho are you – who are your customersWhy you use nichesyou aren’t WAL-MART (can’t market to everyone)focus and fine-tune your efforts (most results from efforts)save time, money, increase visibility (the go-to personWithout a niche, you’ve just got a fun hobbynot a demographicnot ‘people with money’not ‘women in transition’* (I swear to god)We looked at what it isn’t – so what IS it?
