Social Media Tribes Explained

January 13th, 2010 by DrJon

Social Media Tribes and Tribe Syndication – What is it All About?

Tribe syndication has become some of a buzz word in the social media industry recently. Why is that?
Social media tribes is something that will be crucial to bew a part of in the future of marketing online.

Having a tribe can mean several things – a group of people that follows you and adores you (kind of a fan base),
but it can also be a group that you have put together that you work closely together with (kind of a mastermind group).

Either way, a tribe your tribe is a group of people that will help you out and spread your word.

Anyway, My definition of a social media tribe is to have a group of people where everyone helps each other out to spread their content (blog posts, videos, articles).

It can do amazing things for the exposure of you and your content to be a part of a tribe,
And the core tribe is just the first level. They will in turn have built up other relationships that will help them (and you) out and spread content.
Being a part of a tribe can definitely have a viral effect on your exposure if you do it right.

Famous people withing Social media like Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee), Mari Smith, and Seth Godin have all built up their tribes of follwers that help them out but that is more tribes based of a fans.

Now you it’s time for you to do it too! Even if you are not so famous (yet) you can still put together your own tribe and start syndicating each other’s stuff.

Watch the video aboce to learn how you can take advantage of the tribe and start building your own online presence with more power.

The leverage a tribe can do for you shall not be underestimated! :)

To the Tribes,

What are Your Goals with Social Media?

October 16th, 2009 by DrJon

What Are Your Plans and Goals by Using Social Media?

Do you have a strategy or plan for using social media or are you one of those who planeless are surfing around, chatting with friends and just try to have fun?
Well, if you are in business you will definitely need to have some sort of plan and goals what you want to achieve!

 

As you probably are aware of since you are reading this blogpost, is that social media can be used with any type of business and the level of Success is to a huge extent depending on consistency and know what you want out of it.

 

I use social media for basically two reasons. To keep in touch with personal friends and family, but also to build my personal brand and prescence online by utilizing the power of relationships.

 

If you are an entrepreneur, it is important to have some kind of plan on how to use social media for your business. When you know how to use it in a proper way (not just pitching and selling, but building relationships) you will have a BIG advantage over 95% the people that are using social media for marketing.

 

Because the fact is, MOST PEOPLE have NO CLUE on how to use social media the right way. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Blogs etc.. Yes, People know that they CAN use these sites for marketing but almost everyone are using them the wrong way.

 

So, how can I say that it is the wrong way?
Well, most people don’t want to be pitched and sold as soon as they get a new friend on Twitter or Facebook. Most people want to build relationships first, before they trust a perosn so much that they’ll take business advice from them.

 

I think you get what I mean if I say that you should not pitch and try to sell someone when you first meet them and shake their hand in real life. Meeting people on Twitter or Facebook is now different than that.

 

So why are still so many people still doing it the wrong way?
Well, One of my goals is to help people and teach them to market in the best possible way. And when it comes to Social Media, it’s definitely relationships first!

 

Looking forward to connect with you even more in the future!

To Our Future Successful Relationships,

Dr Jon

The Reason You Buy From Someone… (Day 23)

September 13th, 2009 by DrJon

The Reason why You buy from someone, What is it?

It’s obvious when you think about it.

Most of the times when you chose to buy a product or service from someone you have a reason for buying from that particular person.

I mean, no matter what it is that you are gonna buy, you normally have a multiple of choices of people to buy from. (sometimes thousands upon thousands of people selling the same thing).

If someone you don’t know (or someone you just met) starts pitching you and wanting to sell you something, chances are high that you will be repelled by that and not buy something at all from that person. Hardly anybody likes the feeling of being approached and pitched immediately when they meet someone.

I compare this to going to a coctail party. When you arrive there, you don’t start to sell people stuff the first thing you do.
Well, IF YOU DO, you will be looked at as a total jerk and you ruin your reputation.

Still, this is what many people and businesses do when they are comming online and start using social media.
They Spam their links all over the place. To their Twitter followers, their newly added Facebook friends and leaving comments with no value on everyont and their father’s blogs.

How Cool is that?

Well, I don’t like it!
And I belive I have many people with me on this.

Pelple want to buy from someone they TRUST, LIKE or KNOW (and preferably ALL of those three points at the same time).
So if you start by establishing relationships with with people, just like you would do on a cocktail party, you will start to connect with some people and they will get to know you. Hopefully they will also start like you and trust you and your chanses of them doing business with you sometime in the future will be increased enormously!

I call this method Attraction Marketing or Relationship Marketing.

If you recognize yourself in my description of people that are posting their links and trying to pitch and sell to someone as soon as you meet them, No Offense, There is always possible to change your methods of approaching people.

And If you don’t wanna change your methods, I don’t judge you, but I will probably not do business with you either. :)

To Your Attracted Success,
Dr Jon Alfredsson
