What to Do After an Auto Accident While at Work

October 8, 2012 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

HANDLE THE ACCIDENT LIKE ANY OTHER COLLISION
If you are in an auto accident while working, the first steps following the collision are the same as if you were not working. If necessary, seek immediate medical attention. If you are not injured, stay at the scene to exchange information with the other drivers involved and give your report to the police. Whether you were driving your own car or a work vehicle, you will need the other drivers’ names, contact information, and insurance information. In turn, the other drivers will need your name and contact information, your employer’s name and contact information, the relevant insurer’s name, and your policy number. Remember to never admit fault and do not confront any other drivers regarding whether they caused the accident.

NOTIFY YOUR EMPLOYER IMMEDIATELY
In addition to speaking with the police and exchanging information, you should call your employer right away. Your supervisor needs to know as soon as possible if you were in an accident during working hours because any injuries will require a workers’ compensation claim. Also, if you were driving a company-owned vehicle, it will need to be towed from the scene and eventually be repaired or replaced. You or your employer will need to notify the auto insurance provider and possibly make a first-party claim or prepare for a third-party claim from another driver in the accident.

FILE A WORKERS’ COMPENSATION CLAIM
Following a work-related auto accident, you must file a workers’ compensation claim to receive benefits, we would suggest getting help from an attorney like the Irvine accident lawyer Neama Rahmini. In Ohio, your employer should cover your medical costs and some of your lost wages when you become ill or are injured while working. If you are in an auto accident while at work or during a work-related task, workers’ compensation should apply. It does not matter whether you caused the collision or not.

While you should have your medical expenses covered and receive some of your wages while off work after filing a workers’ compensation claim, your employer could deny your claim and fight against paying benefits. To reduce the likelihood of a denied claim, you should contact the Ohio work injury lawyers at Kisling, Nestico & Redick. An experienced workers’ compensation attorney can ensure your claim is properly filed and a denial is quickly and accurately appealed.

CONSIDER A PERSONAL INJURY SUIT
If you were hurt in a car accident caused by another driver, you may still have the right to file a personal injury claim even when workers’ compensation is covering some or all your medical expenses and lost wages. Following a serious injury, disfigurement, or disability, you may need to sue the at-fault driver to be properly compensated for your injuries beyond what workers’ compensation can provide.

Workers’ compensation may not cover all of your expenses or fix the financial situation when you are unable to work. Take note though, if you win a jury award or settle your personal injury claim, your employer or insurance company may seek to be reimbursed for what you have already received through workers’ compensation.

MLM Social Media- How to Create the 4 Levels of Magnetic Value

November 15, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

network marketing social media

MLM Social Media for home business.

What kind of VALUE do you expect when you are thinking of buying something?

Is that kind of Value in your home business mlm?

What if you would add that kind of Value to your social media efforts-what would happen to your mlm social networking results?

The Power of Value in your social media home business is beyond words. Value is THE most powerful word that you can focus on in your mlm network marketing business. Value is the Nuclear CORE of social media marketing and multi level marketing.

Are YOU showing and giving Value to your mlm prospects in social media?

Value is a Power and Force in network marketing that reigns in social media. There is no more of a powerful Recruiting MAGNET to PULL people towards you, and to keep them beside you. That is a million dollar secret there- VALUE.

Period.

End of discussion.

No exceptions.

If you do not bring some kind of Value to the social conversation, you have missed it. I have tried to bring a lot of Value to all I engage and sometimes I miss the mark, but for the most part, it has been pretty consistent I hope!

We need to define what”Value” really is to the prospect because that is all that really matters to them.

What IS VALUE?

Anything that a person perceives as Valuable to their life, family, and future. Value that PULLS people towards you is MAGNETIC VALUE.

Something that adds to the prospect, enlarges their destiny, teaches, directs, increases their income, improves the way they feel about themselves and how they look, and stirs the powerful force of emotions, happiness, and possibilities in a person’s life.

That is what you do in mlm social media for home business. You Add Value and lots of it to people’s lives.

The Power of VALUE Agents.

We all need to practice and become what I call “Value Agents”

Are you a Value Agent in Network Marketing Social Media? Do you bring Value that IMPACTS people- not just seeks something to GAIN for yourself?

Real estate agents market real estate. Value Agents market VALUE.

There are 4 powerful levels of Value I have found in Social Media Marketing and a Value Agent always is aware of the level they are operating on and the level they are striving to rise to. You need “Magnectic VALUE-this is Value that PULLS people towards you.

The 4 Levels of Magnetic VALUE.

What are the 4 levels of being a Magnetic Value Agent?

1) The Level of Typical Value.

This is the Value that just about everyone expects in some form. This is THE BARE minimum value you need to operate in be taken any kind of seriously in social media. This is Value that you bring that is at least worth reading, watching, and worth paying attention to. Typical Value is the level of Value that can be found all over the social zone, and people read the posts and listen to the podcasts, and view the videos, but then they move on to something and someone else. They see this as the “same ol-same ol.”

That is the socia response to the leve of Typical Value- consume the information and then move on. It really is tough to build any kind of a following with this low level of Value.

2) The Level of Unexpected Value.

This level is when you really start to gain some attention from people in social media. When you have unexpected Value in a video, post, article, comment, or podcast, it Stirs people’s emotions and and makes them pay attention to what you are giving and doing. It FORCES them to FOCUS on your content, message, or idea, as the Value of the content is so great that is takes them by total surprise. It helps them in their life some way, and PULLS them in to take notice of you and your message or content piece.

That is how people respond to Unexpected Value- You start to get their attention and it forces them to pay attention to you and and your content, message, or ideas- EVERYTIME you send one out.

3) The Level of Talked About Value.

This level of Value is what I call “Have You Heard of….or Did you SEE ?” Value. This is where you are creating and building such Value that the social BUZZ starts and people start talking about your message, content, or ideas. I have seen this a lot in the mlm social media sphere last 5 years, and it has been cool to watch. Folks that are virtually unknown become start. Chris Brogan– s social media superstar, had 10 readers on his blog 5 years ago- and now is THE go to guy in social media marketing and indeed has become a superstar in the social sphere with close to a million monthly readers. People talk about Chris and his blog all the time.. THAT is what I mean when I mention Talked About Value. It is Value that IMPACTS people with great content, ideas, and stirring thoughts. It is being a THOUGHT LEADER in many ways.

Thought Leaders n social media today have a tendency to START at this level.

That is how people in social media respond to concerning Talked About Value–Being noticed because you bring Value that is so much and so powerful and useful, that people start talking about you and getting you VISIBLE and noticed for the Value you bring to people’s lives.

4) The Level of Multiplied Value.

This is the supreme level of Value in social media. This level is where you have given so much Value in a post, video, article, audio, interview, or program that people do not just talk about it-they start to MULTIPLY it.

How does that happen?

By virally marketing it, sending it out to their friends, and telling people “you MUST read/see this.”

That is the Power and Success of Multiplied Value–They are not just talking ABOUT you- but now, they are TALKING FOR YOU.

They are MULTIPLYING Your MESSAGE, CONTENT, IDEAS as it all holds so much Value. You have your own personal causal press release army out in social media getting your message out to tens of thousands of people because they are so touched and moved by your Value and Message that they have no choice but to share it as it MOVED THEM , and they send it out into the social sea.

THAT is the NUCLEAR FUSE of social media marketing. When the Value is so great that people want to SHARE IT and SEND IT to everyone they know in the social media world.

How do you DO THAT?

Create a Social Media Avalanche with How Tos’ –Little Know info on what their interests are and what your mlm business can do for their life, Transforming Thoughts about what they are doing, living, and being, reveal New Social Sites, Directions, New Ideas on what they find interesting, New Possibilities in social media and your home business, and New Focuses that ADD, INCREASE, MULTIPLY, and TRANSFORM who they are and what they are doing. THAT will get noticed, connected to, embraced, and end up being multiplied by a ton of people.

Where are you in the 4 levels of a Value Agent? Are you a Value Agent or a Value Obsessed?

Let the Power and Force of Value drive your content and message. Make sure your Value and Message and Content bring so much Value to the masses they are Moved to Multiply the Message.

MOVE to MULTIPLY – that is a MILLION DOLLAR secret folks.

THAT is what will EXPLODE your mlm home business in social media network marketing.

MLM Social Media – 3 Reasons WHY You Need a Magnetic Social Profile

October 18, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

social media mlm home business

What is your social media mlm profile telling people about YOU and your home based business?

Is it TELLING people something or MOVING people TO DO SOMETHING?

Is it part of your recruiting strategy or just part of your social site?

The answers that you gave are revealing to the overall social strategy you have for your network marketing business or DO NOT HAVE.

A profile on any social site is the first thing that most people check out. If yours is just a plain old profile with NO PULLING POWER then you are missing an incredible chance to engage someone with your home business.

A social profile will either:

Introduce your name and where you live.

Move people to get to know you.

Move people away from you.

What is YOUR social profile doing in your social sites that you are engaging conversation with?

In social media mlm marketing, the profile is your calling card. It is on just about every social site that is out there. There are so many social sites out there-over 4000-and everyone is a chance for you to BILLBOARD who you are to the world that people will not forget.

Your profile should be a BILLBOARD of Magnetism that gets people to DO SOMETHING– not just read something.

Give something away free on your blog. Give a free ebook away. Give a free video away. Give them a REASON to move closer to you with their email so you can market to them and build a relationship.

But WHY do you need to have a profile that is magnetic and “pulls” people in to look at it?

1) A Magnetic Profile will build your Brand quicker, as it will be TALKED ABOUT if it is of VALUE and GIVES VALUE at the beginning of the budding relationship.

When people visit your facebook site, or twitter page, or youtube page, or what social site you are registered on, our profile will either get them to want to know more about you, or click away.

If you GIVE something to them as a result of visiting your profile, they will be more willing to listen to you in the future to your message about your home business.

2) A Magnetic profile will be recommended – but the Value Given will be Virally Marketed.

People will recommend a profile to other people if they think that person has something to offer of value, and comes across like a premier provider. Make sure that your profile will make people send it out to others.

But if you GIVE something of VALUE- then the Viral Monster starts to kick in. People will pass it around – NOT just recommend it. And then it will take a life of it’s own. I have seen this happen not only to my profiles, but a TON of other marketers as well.

3) A Magnetic profile will give you an opportunity to introduce yourself as a TRUE AUTHORITY- not just another marketer, blogger, or person trying to sell something.

Draw people in by establishing yourself as an Authority and HOW you can help people with your expertise. If you are going to establish yourself as an AUTHORITY in your niche, you MUST give content away that PROVES you got the goods. There are many ways to do this, but give Little Known Content. Give highly searched content. Give SOLUTION Content. Give USEFUL content that most do NOT give to set yourself apart. It works and I have done it for years, and it DOES set you apart over time.

Here is an example::

“Doug is an expert in the social media field and helps people turn their social sites into profit centers that never stop and can help you create that. Click here for a FREE Video: 5 Ways to Create a Social Strategy that will Create a Six figure Income”

This is HOW you can create a BUZZ about your profile as well as your True Authority.

These are three reasons why you need a magnetic profile in your social media marketing efforts for your mlm home business.

MLM Social Media – The Magnetic Prospecting Power of Your LinkedIn Profile

September 14, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh

linkedin recruiting mlm profile

LinkedIn for a home business social media mlm is an incredible social media networking tool.

It offers so much to the home business professional that I could spend hours talking about it. But that is not possible in one post or even a series of posts. Social media mlm is something that is growing, and growing fast. And it changes it seems almost daily. And I could never do justice to even begin to cover that in multiple trainings.

But there is one truth that we will cover today:

No matter how great a networking site LinkedIn is, if your are not visible and cannot be found in the search tool, then you are hidden.

And you must be FRONT and CENTER with your PROFILE to be found in the search results when people are looking for what you market. It is that simple.

No Visibility = Little “Findability.”

You NEED to BE FOUND!

How does that happen in your profile?

By creating a “Magnetic Profile.”

What is that?

It is creating a profile that PULLS people towards you from 2 places:

1. Search Results.

2. People who look at your LinkedIn profile

You can look at my profile at:

www.linkedin.com/in/dougfirebaugh

You can see that the keywords and phrases have been optimized for the search tool. You can search on LinkedIn any type of keyword: mlm, network marketing, mlm training, home business, home business trainer, Home based business, or most any other like search term and my profile comes up usually at # 1 or 2. It has been optimized to do that.

But there is a secret:

You cannot “spam” the profile as then LinkedIn will not include you in the search results. And knowing how to create the Magnetic Profile with the proper balance is CRITICAL.

“Front Loading” your Profile with the proper mix of applicable keywords and phrases is important. But you cannot create a profile that does not make sense and tell people what you do. It MUST make sense and easy understanding for the person to know what you do.

The profile is one of the single most important marketing tools you will ever have, as most professionals today are on LinkedIn. YOU must come across as Professional but at the same time MOVE THE PROSPECT to contact you.

If you create a Magnetic Profile with the proper keyword structure, then not only will you PULL EYEBALLS TOWARD YOU, but they will be moved to contact you.

To take your profile to a higher level and it become a Prospecting Power for you, and create an ‘eyeball pulling” profile, then you may want to consider this:

www.linkedinrecruitingsecrets.com

It is something that will literally show you how to create an avalanche of leads on LinkedIn and find the professionals that you TRULY want to sponsor in your home business social media mlm.

Social Media Home Business- 3 Powerful Secrets of Why Facebook Events?

September 10, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 2 Comments

facebook events for mlm network marketing

facebook events for home business mlm

In home business mlm social media, there are many sites out there to choose from. and it grows daily it seems with all the new social networking sites out there that are perfect for mlm recruiting. I keep a list of all the new sites just for fun. I want to be sure that I can coach people on how to work the sites and the best parts about them.

Many social media mlm sites out there are ignored.

The reason?

One name:

Facebook.

Seems that everyone is wanting to market on facebook somehow someway. Now I like facebook a LOT and we do LOT of business on it. But like any other sites, there are special parts to it that make it not only perfect for doing business, but also connecting with new prospects and people.

Google + has come on pretty strong and they are still in beta as far as this writing date goes. It may be a player in the future, but right now, it is still all about facebook.

Ok..with that in mind, let’s look at one of the BEST ways to market and recruit on facebook for home business:

EVENTS.

Events are a powerful way to get your message out there is a professional manner. There are new apps out that now you can do facebook webinars-ON FACEBOOK. And it gets even cooler than that with a lot of the other newer apps.

But EVENTS RULE as far as marketing your home based business on facebook. And I think that once you get the fact that facebook events have BENEFITS to them for more than just exposing your business, things get exciting!

One of the most powerful tactics in marketing that Facebook has are Events.

Events are powerful marketing vehicles and something that can do three things for YOU Personally:

1) Facebook events for MLM can establish you as an Expert in your field.

It is focused on featuring you and your message. It will help maximize your exposure and also introduce you to new people via the News Feed. This will help you become more visible as well as branded.

2) Facebook event for Home business can help push your message out as worthy of Listening to.

I hope you know–This is critical. Many people have great messages, but do not really “get out there” enough to be heard. Facebook events can help alleviate that challenge. They can create WIDE EXPOSURE on the facebook wall and also for all your friends to see and join in.

3) Facebook events for multi level marketing can start a Connection process with people who are checking out your home business.

These events are GREAT for people who need an additional or even an initial exposure to to your company.

Ands here are 2 critical marketing moves:

1) Have someone host it for you.

Here is a little TIP: It will add more credibility with what you are doing. People seem to pay more attention to a Facebook event when it is hosted by someone else and promoted by someone else.

2) Have other people invite their friends for you.

This ia a great way to expand your reach with facebook home business Marketing. The secret is to let others become the broadcasters of the event, and you become the “conversation” that is talked about. You then can build your brand beyond where you are, and get it out past where you are currently.

We call this “3rd Party Broadcast Marketing.”

A third party broadcasts your event to as many people as they possibly can, and then broadcast again. Broadcast it across the social media landscape. On Twitter. On Google+. On LinkedIn. And then let the viral marketing start to happen by putting up a youtube video, cinchcast, and a podcast about the facebook event.

Facebook events are a powerful platform to start building your brand, especially if you are NEW to the network marketing arena. I would suggest that you come up with a topic that people would be interested in concerning your products, and then put an event together for it. make the topic focused on VALUE to the attendee as well as give something FREE away.

Facebook events for a home business is one of the most powerful way and how you market on facebook and Social Media Marketing for your mlm home business.

MLM Social Media- 4 Steps to Magnetic Social Media Success

September 6, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 2 Comments

home business mlm social media leadership

In your home business and network marketing business, Social Media Leadership is a revelation process that really needs to be looked at by the social media community. It is critical.

Why?

Leadership in your home business and social media determines everything in any kind of social media change, growth, improvement, or marketing. Leadership is the elevator in all business – Especially in Social media. It will determine whether something goes UP or goes DOWN in the marketplace. It will determine Value or determine Emptiness.

If you own a home business today, I think you would agree, many folks in mlm and social media are home based entrepreneurs with their own network marketing business. But yet, many of these folks do not take the LEAD in social media.

They sell.

They market.

They converse.

They spend time on social sites.

They buy all the latest “guru’s” CDs and DVDs. (Yes we do market home business social media training resources but I am NO guru.)

They follow. They follow others in their efforts to find the golden rings of social Media.

Here is a novel idea:

TAKE YOUR OWN LEAD.

Do NOT wait on someone to give you permission. TAKE IT and KEEP IT.

Step up to YOUR LEADERSHIP in mlm social media and get out of the wake of people that are trying to leave you and your home business behind.

DECIDE to Connect and Embrace YOU! Connect to Your own Leadership in MLM Social Media. There is an INCREDIBLE Home Business Leader inside of you-it’s time to RELEASE that Leader to the world.

Start directing people to ideas and possibilities they never knew existed-from YOUR Suggestions and guidance.

Start guiding people to what will TRANSFORM them as a person, not just what will create a Transaction.

READ THAT AGAIN!

Transform their perception of what is possible. Transform their thinking to a new level of Success. Transform their expectations-with YOU.

There are 4 Secrets to becoming Powerful Social Media Leader and if you operate with these components in mind, you can become social media royalty.

Here are those 4 components:

1) A PICTURE.

Some folks call it Vision. Some folks call it a Destination. In social media, you need to paint a vivid picture in what you can do for a person, as well as where you are going to take them. Picture pages are the most visited pages in social media.

OK. Then using that as a measure, lets’ create s picture of where you are headed, and what that picture has to offer anyone who will follow. Does the picture have a name? Does the picture you paint of your message move people emotionally?

Create what I call a Picture of Promise, and then keep that picture in your Social Media Leadership front and center.

Lisa, a friend of mine, keeps a picture of what a person will look like if they learn about and use here skin care system FRONT AND CENTER on her social sites. She is not trying to sell anything except a possibility. It is a Powerful picture that leads to a powerful place.

2) A PATH.

Folks want a Path they can travel, and most want it in modules, or steps. What does your Leadership Path offer and what are the steps?

Have you CLEARLY laid out the path so they can follow with no challenge to where you are leading them?

Are the links and any other “doorways” to new ideas working?

Are the videos you are doing compelling?

Are the pod casts short and to the point and interesting?

Are the blogs readable and well written?

Are any notes or tweets easy to understand?

All a path is is a series of social media “doorways” that lead to where you want them to go. Call them bread crumbs. Call them arrows pointing to a place. But either way, they first lead a person to a place and activity to be taken.

Everyone listens to radio station KIA-AM. That stands for “Keep It All About ME”. Make EVERYTHING about the prospect and what they will receive when that enter the “Promised Land” you are guiding them to.

Make the path they have to travel, click to, or learn about interesting and always point to something they will learn, enjoy, feel good about, and feel glad they took that path with you.

3) A PROMISE.

What as a leader, are you promising anyone that will follow you?

Gain? Increase? Education? Improvement? Answers? Solutions?

Or are you offering them something so of VALUE that not matter who it is, it is TOO Valuable to turn down?

Promises are a dime a dozen-unless you LEAD people to the promise and DELIVER, and set yourself apart from the crowd with REAL relationships in the social arena, as all leaders build connections and Value in all they do.

Make a Promise- and KEEP IT- no matter what. That is Leadership in Social Media.

4) A POWERFUL CONCLUSION.

Nothing will point to you as a Social Media Leader quicker than a Powerful Conclusion to the Promise. Give them what you said you would. Take them where you said you would. Teach them what you said you would.

But give them MORE than the Picture Promises, and where they think the Path Leads. That is what Social Media Leadership is about.

Leading BEYOND all expectations.

Leading PAST the Promise to More Powerful Conclusions.

Leading In a Way that it is so Valuable, they will follow you anywhere, anytime, with any suggestion of a path.

THAT is one of the missing pieces in developing a home business mlm social media marketing empire

LEAD the folks to places they never thought they could visit or conceive, with Social Media Leadership.

If you do these things, you will find that your success will multiply dramatically in social media for your home based business.

Home Business Social Media- Personal Branding -the ONE Secret?

August 19, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 1 Comment

home business personal branding

In home business social media, there are so many tips, trainings, and strategies for success that are so rocking HOT. And we have been training since 2006 on MLM Social Media for Home Business.

But I believe one of the GREATEST powers of social media is the power to build a reputation and image in people’s minds that they remember.

It is called “Personal Branding.”

Personal branding in your home based business requires many things and we are coming out with a resource soon that will equip you to brand you beyond anything you ever though you could.

But WHAT is the real focus of Personal branding for Home business?

Some say that it is to build a “perception” that other people remember and it stays in their mind.

Some say that it is to build a picture online so that people will talk about it and spread it.

Some say that it is simply painting a picture of your message with an image or words that people connect to you and remember.

Yes…they are all correct.

But we have built a brand using the word “FIRE” and it has been all over the internet for years. We have used it in images, posts, audios, videos, and the like. But the power of Personal Branding even moves past that. Yes, we have a 7 figure brand, but that is NOT what the TRUE FOCUS is of Personal Branding in home business social media.

Far from it.

MLM and social media are much alike. If you think about it, you want people to feel GOOD about you and your message as well as business.

But here is the Million Dollar question:

How do YOU set yourself apart form all the other home business personal brands out there?

How do you RISE above the fray and set yourself higher in the home business profession?

Simple…

We ran across a secret of mlm social media branding about 5 years ago and have taught it only to our Private Clients that we consult with one on one. It is a POWERFUL Secret that many people simply have no clue of.

That is why we have been blessed by God to have such a powerful home based business brand in the profession of network marketing. We simply took that secret and ran with it.

YOU need to set yourself apart from ALL the rest of the network marketing and work at home folks. You need to make yourself SPECIAL in your prospect’s mind.

Ok…

How?

In Personal Branding in Home Business, do NOT just be remembered.

Become UNFORGETTABLE.

Did you GET THAT? Read it again. LOUD!

Become UNFORGETTABLE.

People that are remembered in personal branding do build a following.

But there are those rare people that become Unforgettable in personal branding, that build AN ARMY of loyal maniacs.

Is that not what YOU WANT?

Do not just settle for being remembered.

There are 5 levels of “Personal Branding Impact” as we have developed and in a future post I will cover those so you can have an idea of how to create a Personal brand that does not only trigger a memory of you, but also trigger a MOVEMENT TOWARDS YOU in your mlm home business personal branding.

Social Media MLM- The 2 Things People are Seeking in Social Media?

August 4, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh Leave a Comment

: mlm social media

Social media

has become one of the fastest growing teaching segments in the home business profession. Many folks want to know what to do to find leads and prospects in social media, many of them wonder how to get instant instagram likes for their content, but don’t have the sources to find out. This includes facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, among many other sites.

The Psychology of Social Media is an interesting study because if you understand certain things about the social media participant, you can approach them and sponsor them so much easier.

I have read everything I could get my hands on concerning social media as one of the things I do for a living is consult with corporations on their ml social media needs. And there are some interesting things I have found out along the way that seems to have helped a lot of folks with their social media.

When you think about it, there are only 2 things that people are looking for in Social Media. It does not matter if you are in real estate, mortgage banking, insurance, or even in home business marketing of some type. People are always looking for something.

You just need to make sure that you know what those things are.

Most people in the Home Business Social Media arena are progressive thinkers and progressive people. Most are ahead of the curve in the web 2.0 world, and most have a focus of being ahead of the pack. The early adopters of Social Media, which I am one, started on the Social media scene 7 years ago. There is not much there, but what was there, was used as best as it could be used.

People then, and people now, are still the same. They always will be. But in the MLM Social media arena, we have found that they are looking for 2 things that will help them.

Help them feel better about whom they are. Help them feel better about what they do. And help them feel better about where their life is going. All people are in some way looking for that forward focus. That is why in the social scene, there are 2 things people seem to be seeking more than anything.

Only two.

1) CONNECTION.

Most people in Web 2.0 ville are looking for Connection. They want to connect with people, information, new ideas, new trainings, new events, new groups, new videos, but whatever they are looking for, they want to CONNECT.

Connection is part of the culture we grew up in. People in real estate understand the person want to feel emotionally connected to a house before they purchase it. People want to feel connected to a car before they decide to buy it. And people want to feel connected to something before they start building that bridge of trust with you. You must make an effort to connect in a way that they will respond to in home business social media.

In Home Business Social Media Marketing, Connection is NOT Correction as so many people think. They are NOT looking to be told that their life is not any good, or is lacking. They are not looking to be told their home is too small for them. They want to Connect to something or someone that will make them feel better about themselvesand where their life is headed. You do that in conversations on twitter, Facebook, twiiter, orkut, Google+, LinkedIn, and the like.

They want to feel GOOD about a conversation with you, no matter the social network. They want to feel FOCUSED ON and Tied into a conversation that will help them feel more a part of something that can increase and enlarge their life and future.

CONNECTING with people is simply reaching out and taking their hand over the internet and letting them feel PLUGGED IN to something and someone that can help you connect to new possibilities and to new destinies.

THAT is simple and the truth. Keep the Connection authentic and real, and they will listen to what your conversation is about and start drawing closer to you and your message.

2) ELEVATION.

People want to feel like they are being lifted higher in their life. They want to feel like their life is going somewhere and means something. We all do. We all are looking for that special feeling that we are special, and as trite as that sounds, it is the truth.

What can you do to create that feeling that they truly believe they are walking on air?

Life them up by noticing something they said that has helped you.

Compliment them.

Give them a kind remark about their efforts in what they are doing in MLM Social Media.

Ask questions they might know the answer to show you appreciate their knowledge..

Send them new ideas on their passion.

Notice something about their conversation that you can totally appreciate and let them know about it.

Empower them with encouragement.

Thank them for learning something from them.

WHY?

It will make them glad they talked to you in Social Media.

And they will remember you the next message, tweet, or conversation. They will move from just a follower or connection to a friend on social media.

As a home business owner, you will see that they can start to trust you, and even start referring possible clients to you as people they know who could benefit from your products.

Remember- it is NOT what you said. But how you made them feel by Connecting with them and Elevating their hope and future in the Home business Social media Marketing arena. There are so any different ways to do that, but if you understand that you can literally make someone’s day by understanding the 2 things that folks truly are looking for.

That is the secret. it is NOT about what you are looking for, but what THEY are looking for that will drive the Success in your home business that utilizes social media.

Unleash the Power of social media in your network marketing business! Here is HOW!

MLM Social Media – The 5 Steps to Creating a Social Customer Avalanche?

July 22, 2011 by Doug Firebaugh 27 Comments

mlm social media

Home business social media

is one way to gather customers as well as prospects in your business. Many people just “wing it” and hope that their readers and followers will show up and buy. But the problem is….most do not. I discovered this the hard way.

I got so frustrated at times trying to get people on our blogs and in mlm social media to become at least a reader of our blog, but also a customer. But frustration was happening all the time- UNTIL- we discovered this 5 step Success path which created a customer avalanche in our business.

We have found that these 5 steps will help rock your business if you let them.

“Build it and they will come” the saying goes.

Not.

You can build a blog or video site and you can still be lacking connections.

Connection is the nuclear core of mlm social media. But you must make an effort in order for that to happen.

Whether you have a social media home business, traditional brick and mortar business, or an online business, you must get into the social trenches and connect and converse. It is that simple and that plain.

It is all about connecting and creating a magnetic conversation with people that draws them towards you.

But why are people in social media not doing that?

Maybe they do not know this powerful 5 step “Avalanche Process” for getting new customers and keeping them in social media.

The first thing you must do is connect with the social media culture. It is what marketing is about in social media. Some people think that they can be anti-social in social media and think they can broadcast their message and people will still come.

That simply is not going to happen. Not in social media. You do not build ‘it” but instead, build relationships that can become doorways and then eventually become customers.

Here is the “Avalanche Path” you can follow:

1) Connect –> 2) Conversation –> 3) Value –> 4) Doorway –> 5) Customer.

Let’s take a quick look at each step:

1) CONNECT.

Connection with people is where success in social media starts. Connect with people on Twitter, on Facebook, on LinkedIn, on Youtube, on Orkut, or every other niche site out in the social sphere that matters. You must connect.

Here’s a little tip:

Connect to those who are looking for you. They will find you if you are visible, and accessible to connect to.

2) CONVERSATION.

This step is where the conversation with people starts. You talk about the prospect and where they want to go. You talk about what they want to talk about. You study their profile, pictures and videos on their social sites as you can learn a lot just by paying attention.

Then make sure that you stay in touch and listen when they are communicating with you. If you do that, they will want to stay connected to you.

3) VALUE.

This step is where you bring in the magnet to pull them towards your message. Show them value they can obtain with your message in their life. Show them how your message can help expand, increase, enlarge and improve their life. You do it through tips and how to’s in videos and blog posts and podcasts, as well as tweets and twips.

Show them how you can make their life easier and show them how to do something they want to learn. You show them how to be or do something. If you can increase the size of their dreams, you can get them as a customer.

The more value people perceive you have for them the more likely they will walk through the “Doorway.”

4) DOORWAY.

This is the doorway to conversion where you convert them to a customer. You must convert prospects into customers if you are going to have any kind of business. That is simple to do.

Give them an offer where “No” is impossible to say. That is the secret. Give first and then make the offer so compelling they cannot say “No.” We do it all the time. We just ran a social media special on our training products and it blew the roof off our shipping department. It has created a flood of new customers and new orders for us. All we did was give them an offer that was difficult to turn down.

The secret of success we experienced can be found in the word “Give.”

Give away something they must have, and something that will improve their life, and they will get it.

5) CUSTOMER.

This final step is where they purchase your message, products, or webinar or event. This is the beggining of your relationship though- not the end.

Here you must start building the relationship between you and the customer even more by using the power of exceptional customer service. As a rule of thumb, we like to abide by this customer service guide when training new employees in customer service skills.

Give more than they expected and throw something in for free they were not expecting. Give them a free download or ebook and let them see a Private video collection as a special.

Encourage more. Make sure that you send a note of encouragement and stay in touch with them.

Thank them more. Make sure they know you are thankful for their business and connection. We send out free downloads all the time to say thanks that some people paid $$$ for in the past. Thank them in everything you do and they will come back for more.

Get your customers addicted to your Value, Message and Emotions. They will become more than a customer. They will become a loud speaker for you and tell everyone you know you are the best at what you do

That is what you want to happen in your home business or traditional business in mlm social media marketing.
