TribeTuesday Hashtag – What is it all about?

February 3rd, 2010 by DrJon

TribeTuesday – Recommended Content?

I assume you have heard about #FollowFriday concept that was started on Twitter in the beginning of 2009.

Basically, it is a concept where you add the hashtag #FollowFriday to every tweet you make where you recommend people to follow someone on Twitter. (and it is usually send out on Fridays)

A few months ago, my good friend and tribe teammate Kary Rogney introduced the new hashtag #TribeTuesday that we use when we are having the content syndication power hour with our social media tribes. This #TribeTuesday has quickly become a big buzzword on Tuesdays on Twitter (but also to some extent on Facebook) and basically it is a tag to show that the tweet contains recommended content from a tribe member.

It could be a blog post, an article, a video or maybe a recommendation to visit a site with valuable information.
If you do a search on twitter for the hashtag #tribetuesday you will end up with hundreds of results and I believe that within a recent amount of time, this will be a trending Tuesday topic on Twitter.

So, every time you see a #tribetuesday hashtag in a tweet in the future, you know where it is coming from and (hopefully) it will be a tweet with valuable content.

If you want more information about Social Media Tribes you should check out my blog post that explains all about it here

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
