A digital tribe is an unofficial community of people who share a common interest and communicate through social media, blogging, and other digital methods.
A tribe needs three things to come
together: a leader, a common idea,
and a way to communicate.
Seth Godin’s book Tribe has inspired us to share the idea with financial
advisors.
What is a Tribe?
A digital tribe is an unofficial
community of people who share a
common interest and communicate
through social media, blogging, and
other digital methods.
We like the idea of tribes — digital
communities that Seth says need
three things to come together: A
leader, a common idea, and a way
to communicate.
Providing all three of these criteria
for your clients will not only create a
strong digital tribe but will
dramatically grow your business, as
well.
The Leader
There is a lot of noise online. A leader
who can cut through the garbage and
deliver real value stands as out as a
valuable connection.
● Clarify your unique value
proposition and mission
● Share that mission with
your clients and prospects
● Capture those ideas in
content that can be shared
The Common Idea
Creating a newsletter can serve as a
common idea to bring clients and
prospects together.
● Your newsletter serves as
your business’ storefront
and shows what you do
● Fill your newsletter with
lots of good information
and content
● You can gather data from
your newsletter and
improve your content
marketing
The
Communication
LinkedIn Groups are a great place to
share your in-depth knowledge.
● The format of LinkedIn Groups
allows you to easily share
insights on topical articles or
share material from your blog
● If you keep the group fresh and
consistent it can end up being
both a demonstration of your
service
● By gathering your supporters
together in a digital tribe, you
not only create a great brand
presence online, but you
surround yourself with the
people you help.
