4. The Mistakes Social marketing has become littered with spammers, advertisers and marketers alike. The mistakes which plague the newest form of marketing are as follows:- Your market wants to be marketed to- People are waiting for your offer- It’s open game to scatter your marketing message throughout the social communities and forums.
5. The Results People are garded and becoming steril to marketing messages Real offers and solutions are going unnoticed People are beginning to protect access to their thoughts and conversations Marketers are losing or not making profit as a result of treating their market like cattle.
6. The Solution Begin a community uprising Share a common place Determine your worth to your community Communicate value Allow yourself to receive value in return Ask for an exchange
7. Determine Your Worth If asked by another, who are you to your community and what do you have to offer, what would be your answer?
8. Determine Your Worth What obstacles do you realize your community is facing? Ex. The diet and weightloss community struggles with obesity, poor health and difficulty dieting and losing weight.- Along with these struggles, the lack of self-confidence and depression tend to be an issue.
9. Determine Your Worth Knowing the obstacles of your community, how could you turn these into objectives with a solution to their pain? Ex. Our community provides a solution to help others to realize their self-worth and to see the happiness that currently exists in their lives. After this realization is met, the community works together to find a solution to better health, easier to obtain results and a managable diet.

11. Joel Therien and the 7 Minute Workout Joel has a solid history as a personal trainer and physical therapist. He’s spent the past 15 years as a network marketer and the owner of a large internet service company. Realizing his own struggles with health and fitness, Joel leveraged the Internet and his team of skilled marketers to provide people with the 7 minute workout. Joel did this by first telling his community and then rewarding his community for telling others.
12. The Driving Factor The driving factor in the rapid success of the 7 Minute Workout was the social community within it’s walls. A private place for those with like interests and pains to share in a solution and to be there for one another while making the community all their own.
13. The Death of a Community They Rise and Fall When their Leaders Neglect their Purpose
14. Here stood a social community with thousands of PAYING members. They provided weekly, free, public success training which was held live by a self-made millionaire mentor. The community was made up of spiritual entrepreneurs who had a purpose which far outweighed just monetary gain, but to change the world on a spiritual and wealth driven agenda for all who had the entrepreneurial spark. And then it happened…
16. The Mistakes The original purpose became cluttered with messages of taking in return for undelivered promises The leaders promised training they were not skilled or poised to present Money became a motivating factor for those who created the community The pain of the community was left unaddressed.
17. The Results The community grew angry, felt abandoned and fell apart due to feeling betrayed They chose a leader from within the community who chose to share knowledge, skills and time asking nothing in return The community began their own path Many gain great successes while others held onto a long since dead dream.

22. My how things change Bob is now the online marketing guru that other gurus follow. He not only knows his stuff; but openly shares his best and latest tactics with his students (unlike most so-called experts who only share what they no longer use). I knew Bob when he was on welfare and did not even have a computer. And that was only a couple of years ago. His success story is living proof that, with the right info and a good measure of motivation and determination, anyone can create success online. Bob leads by example. He walks his talk. I suggest you listen to what he has to say and then do what he says to do. Leslie Fieger, Author of the Delfin Trilogy.
23. Bob is a student/teacher who has passed many powerful tests at a very young age. He has assimilated these tests into a series of teachings that are quite profound. Bob applies these principles in his marketing techniques both online and offline. I recommend him to people who are looking to uniquely market themselves out into the world.“ Steve D'Annunzio Founder of The Soul Purpose Institute
25. The Connection The connection begins when you place all agendas of business aside and see the value of the people in the community Find out where they are, observe their conversations and figure out what solutions they are looking for But, the way to this goal is simple yet unexplored by many marketers and online business people.

42. Gather Intel and Collateral Be sure to save your findings of the forums and news Gather affiliate links for different information products on ClickBank.com and throughout other websites you have found Begin the strategy of conversation through what you find in Yahoo answers, forums and other social communities
43. You Have Just… Found a community (market place) that is currently busy purchasing solutions Discovered where they congregate
44. Now It’s Time to… Contribute solutions in the form of answers to their questions It is important this is done properly. You are not going to promote products in the forums. You are simply going to introduce yourself in any community welcome area. Look for topics you can contribute to in the threads Seek out answers to any questions you may see and provide the answers. Once you have done this and have had active conversations with people, it is time to develop a common place
45.
46. The Common Place Facebook has become a common place for most people online. Although, many marketers have been abusing it. But, Facebook does give us groups we can create and invite people to.
47. Action Steps Create a Facebook Group that is specific to keywords in your market space Ex. U.S. Organic Gardening Notice the geographic location and the keyword of the community After you have had ample time in the forums, learning the language of your community, add your Facebook group link to your signature in the forums
48. WARNING Never blatantly promote your group in forum discussions. Trust me when I say, it is frowned upon. BUT… people DO click on links in signatures and when they see it is a group in a place they trust, developed specifically to meet their needs… they will click and join Consider this as you are meeting the needs of your community by delivering messages in the way they like to receive it!
49. Now You Have… Invited them to a common place It is time to…
51. Action Steps Begin conversations, now, in your Facebook group but, continue discussions in the forum as well In your private group, send them to great articles, videos and more that you find on the internet (in your research) and ask them their thoughts, questions and responses. Allow your community to flourish, while you are now positioned as the leader.
52. Action Steps Develop a WordPress blog, hosted on your own server, geared toward the purpose of contributing more value to your community. Always end each blog post with asking them to leave a response and continue the conversation in your community Also, provide them with a link to sign up on your newsletter where you will be contributing private content JUST for THEIR Facebook group!
53. Allow them to Contribute while making an offer to solve their pain
54. Actions Once on your mailing list, send out a regular daily broadcast of a topic of discussion in the facebook group… sending them to the group link. In the P.S. line of the email, tell them to look at “this link” and that it will be helpful. “this link” refers to one of your affiliate or product links This form of marketing is inobtrusive and is simply a by the way to help them Also, be sure to post a “By the Way” in amongst your Facebook group posts
55. Final Thoughts This is Social Marketing on the highest level of community building and content marketing True social networking is showing you have the desire to contribute yourself to your community while making it clear you will make offers. Your community will decide to purchase from you when they have grown to know you. Relationships come before the trust in business
56. Is This Enough to Run a Business Absolutely not. Do not walk away from this workshop thinking this is the only thing you need to do in business. This is simply a social marketing strategy that is very effective in gaining the attention of your market place and growing your list. It is not to be seen as a replacement for true business skills that are needed to run a profitable and growing business.
