Is Social Media Overrated? – Episode #44 is a post from: Abundance Unlimited

Learn enough to to sound impressive to a total newbie aka fool. Give them some generic advice that used to work. It works very well because most clients never implement. So these experts can do it for years without getting caught.

I’ve been asked to be on a local only real radio station and pay $1500 for the priviledge. I said hell no because I know it wasn’t worth it. But he was working on the greater fools theory. “But, I’ll have a professional videographer take video while you’re on the show, I’ll post it up on the website, I’ll podcast it, you’ll get a lot of exposure and a lot of business.” Not $1500 worth. Even Jack Canfield doesn’t push $1500 of his products when he on a radio show.

This person was a little shocked when I explained this. Totally blew his business model out of the water.

I see this with Social Media Experts. They think they are marketing geniuses. Reminds me of Real Estate Investors who were making money hand over fist and thought they were geniuses and then the market changed and they found out they were idiots that were just lucky. They got the timing right but they can’t repeat it.

Good marketers are like good investors. They don’t know whether the market is going to go up or go down. They just know it’s going to change. And they have a system and test. Test a lot.

They are not marketing geniuses, only marketing testers. It’s a numbers game.

I’ve gotten a lot of advice from mastermind members and coaches that I should just focus on newbies and give them easily digestable information. And that’s great advice that I believe and having been doing. But, I also want to give the truth. I don’t want to be part of the greater fool formula. I want to empower my clients to reach great heights which is why I only focus on a handful of them personally. I write these posts to help everyone. To help people not get screwed. To tell it like it is (from my viewpoint).

I know many marketing experts are not big fans of mine. They don’t anyone to upset the apple cart. And I’m not hear to call them out. I’m not going to “name names”. I only want to educate and work with some cool clients.

Don’t be part of the greater fool formula. Educate yourself, get a coach and question marketing expenses. Know your conversion numbers before going off and spending $5,000 for someone with a big list to send your email out. If you don’t know your conversion numbers then you’re just gambling. Gambling may be fun in Vegas but in business it will lead you to go out of business…quickly.

My power went out aka no heat. I’m in Austin and we are having some of the coldest weather ever. Almost ever blanket in the house is on my bed.
I woke up to find no power still. Found out via my smart phone that we are having mandatory roaming blackouts.  So I pack up my computer and head to a cafe in town.  They have power but no Internet. After eating breakfast for lunch moved to a book store and finally get on the Internet.

At least I’m not in Cairo.

Now with power restored and the heat cranking I was able to get online in my office.

While I was out I got the final approval for a 50% discount from Gary Spirer who I interviewed on Monday.

Last night I went to the Internet Marketing Party here in Austin. Pretty cool group of marketers.

The guest speaker was Roy H. Williams best known for being the wizard of ads. Writing great ads for really big clients.

He asked some people to come up with an outrageous sentence and he would spin it into an ad.

David Gonzalez one of the founders of the Internet Marketing Party came up with the best sentence that got a massive reaction from the crowd.

David said “My left testical is a money magnet”. After the roar of laughter died down Roy spun it into a great ad.

My biggest takeaway from the night is since there are so many people talking in the world everyone has difficulty focusing and ignore most everything. You’ll only be heard if you are saying something new, surprising or different.

Go out there and be different. Which is really just being yourself. Do it your way and do it from the heart. Don’t be like everyone else.

In Austin check out the group at http://www.meetup.com/internetmarketingparty/

The #1 question is do you still design marketing websites for your clients.

Yes, of course. I’ve built up a team of people that help me get everything done. I’ve been doing this for years. Some of our clients need websites done that have marketing in mind. Some of our clients also need to learn how to market themselves. And some need both.

For years I’ve provided marketing coaching to clients as we were working on their website. I have a lot of coaching that takes more time than the time it takes to do a website hence the split ofmarketing and websites.
