How to create FOMO to sell out your next event using my PLP systéme.pptxFOMO Creator
This presentation was first delivered to Nicola Peake's community, and it's a presentation on how business owners can embrace the fear of missing out - FOMO - to sell out your next event, festival, conference, digital challenge, webinar, online summit; sell your book, your product or your service-based business.
Using my 3 point PLP sytéme, I am encouraging you to share more, post more, engage more.
What are the PLPs?
preFOMO - before the event
liveFOMO - during the event
postFOMO - after the event
but wait! What if you don't run events? Don't worry! I've got your back there too!! Because if you don't run an event, I'm encouraging you to create one. Make an event out of anything that you do!
Adopt my PLP sytéme and confidently create that buzz, that excitement, that FOMO for your community, so that when the time is right for them, they will slide into your DMS and buy your book, enquire about your services, find out more about your product.
And if you have any questions about my latest presentation, you know what to do! Slide into MY DMs so that I can answer YOUR questions:
@maykingtea on Twitter
May King Tsang on LinkedIn
@fomocreator on Instagram.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Oh and P.S. scroll through to the end because I have a special offer for you! A #FOMOHourSurprise (surprise because it's 90 minutes rather than 60 minutes with me!)

How to generate FOMO for your next launch (in 4 steps).pptxFOMO Creator
#AIM24 Talk first delivered Thursday 8th February 2024 at Adventures in Marketing conference.
As the first and the original #FOMOCreator I was hired to talk about how to generate FOMO for your next product launch. Whether that's a product, a service, an in person or online launch, you can harness the power of generating FOMO - the fear of missing out - you can adopt this strategy to help sell tickets, sell your books, your course, your product.
I break this down into 4 steps:
1. Fear and FOMO
2. Own your ABCs
3. Momentum
4. On the Day
ABCs can be broken down into:
Authentic Authority - showcasing you are an authority in your field. That you are an expert
BTS - behind - the - scenes
C - Create Content for your lurkers - because when we start to publish content, we have lurkers that we don't know are there, but they are certainly there.
In this presentation, there are many cited examples on how you can adopt these 4 steps in order to sell before, during and after your launch.
I call this the FOMO cycle: preFOMO
liveFOMO and
postFOMO
and in this presentation, I showcase how I have created the FOMO for my clients for conferences and for digital challenges.
I also explain the impact that happens when you create content for your lurkers, the magic that occurs when you post online. This could be Direct Messages where people approach you privately on the socials, people referring business onto you, people requesting you to come onto their podcast, it could be people wanting to work with you.
If you have any questions on any aspect of my presentation, please do not hesitate to get in touch (details on the last slide) or you can contact me via my website: www.fomocreator.social
Thanks for reading this far.

Case Study of AgorapulseUKIRL at #TBSUK – NOV2021 pre - live + postFOMO.pdfFOMO Creator
A case study of the #FOMOCreator work that I carried out on behalf of @AgorapulseUKIRL when they exhibited at the Great British Business Show, at ExCel, London in November 2021.
I interviewed Erinn from AgorapulseUKIRL BEFORE the show (this is called preFOMO) which was broadcast live onto Twitter and YouTube.
During the 2 days of the Exhibition, I live tweeted on their account and interviewed some of the exhibitors that they wanted to engage in a conversation with. These interviews ranged from B2B companies to micropreneurs.
The interviews were also published on May King's Instagram account as May King is am ambassador of Agorapulse.
The number of impressions i.e. the number of people that saw these interviews and tweets can be found in this case study.
I also created an asset library of all the content captured on the 2 days so that Agorapulse could reuse the content as they saw fit.
For this client, I provided all 3 FOMO services, namely:
preFOMO (before)
liveFOMO (during)
postFOMO (after)
Each and every individual service can be provided independently of each other.
If you'd like to learn more about any of my FOMO services, please contact me via Direct Message on any of the social media platforms:

Symbiosys Twitter Report on #BetterTogetherFOMO Creator
This is a live tweeting report compiled by Tweetbinder on the hashtag #BetterTogether.
This was an event run in Cape Town where 27 tweets were generated in 3 hours on the subject of #cybersecurity
This intended focus of this report is to showcase how to stretch publicity for your business a little further by live tweeting, creating a LinkedIn post based on the tweets for each of the 3 guest speakers.
Live Tweeting and LinkedIn posts create the perfect FOMO for B2Bs interested in how to further protect onesself from phishing, email risks and ransomware and further risks.
#BeeInspired - the ABCs of creating FOMO - a talk by #FOMOCreator May King Ts...FOMO Creator
Honoured to have been asked to be closing keynote for Dani Wallace's #BeeInspired Event in March.
FOMO means the fear of missing out and in business, it's a good thing! If you want to know how to sell out your next Conference, Festival, Awards Ceremony, Networking Event, Digital Challenge, Book, Product or Service based launch, then you have come to the right place!!
In this closing keynote, I created and delivered a brand new talk called the ABCs of Creating FOMO where:
A = Authentic Authority
B = BTS (Behind the Scenes)
C = Create Content For the Lurkers
Now, I know that word Authentic has been bantered around in the marketing circles and unfortunately I have met many people who spouse authenticity and are the most inauthentic people I know, so when I talk about Authentic Authority - I mean be true to yourself, and showcase your authority by being more visible online. By being more visible online, people will get to know you and if people like you, they may refer you onto others, or they may use your services or buy your products from you. When the time is right for THEM.
BTS - no! I don't mean that K-pop sensation but I mean behind-the-scenes. This is another way that people can get to know you, learn how you put in so much time to learn your craft and showcase your vast experience to the world, so that potential clients know that they will be working with the best.
C is my favourite - Create Content for the lurkers. Don't get obsessed with how many fans and followers you have. Get obsessed with producing FOMO epic content. Don't show everything to the world (like I used to #maykingmistakes ;oD) but show just a little bit to the world and let your lurkers slide into your DMs to find out more.
The ABCs of FOMO assumes that you already have an audience that are lurking on your stuff at the moment and when the moment is right for them, they will slide into your DMs.
If you don't have an audience as yet, don't worry - I have a presentation for that too.

How to use FOMO to sell products and services on social media in 4 steps.pptxFOMO Creator
First delivered on #internationalwomensday on behalf of My Network for Women of which May King Tsang is a Director.
My Network for Women is a Social Enterprise, based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire region.
My Network for Women offers free networking opportunities at their monthly events, bringing guest experts to help local based female entrepreneurs, women thinking of starting a business and ladies who are wanting to grow their business.
My Network For Women partnered with Hatch Enterprise a Social Enterprise based in London who supports "underrepresented entrepreneurs to imagine, launch and grow sustainable and impactful businesses through tailored support, community and partnerships."
This presentation references a previous slide presentation: How to use FOMO to sell out Events that was delivered in Edinburgh. This presentation covered the 5 steps to selling out your next event:
Building Community
Relationship Building
Authority
Notoriety
Direct Communication
If you notice, the first letter of each step spell the word BRAND because everything in business, starts and ends with your brand in everything you appear, everything you do, everything that people say about you when you are not in the room.
This presentation then goes onto explain the 4 steps to FOMO to sell products and services on Social Media.
FOMO means the fear of missing out, and in business, it's a good thing. In fundraising, it's a good thing. When you have a cause to promote, a book, product or service to launch, FOMO is a good thing. We want to get your lurkers, because let's face it, we want to get our lurkers so buzzed and excited about what we do, and how we do it, that when the time is right for them, they will go into the DMs to find out more about your product or service, or go one better and buy directly from you.
The 4 steps to selling your products and service on Social Media are:
Fear - we need to embrace our fear of showing up on social media.
Opportunity for BTS - not the K-Pop sensation but behind-the-scenes. Show a little insight but not everything, (because we want to hold something back and give our lurkers FOMO) into what we do to showcase our authority and our leadership in our field.
Create content for the lurkers. If we don't show up on the socials, why should people trust us, like us or buy from us? Creating content for the lurkers helps our lurkers in their journey with us, to take them one step closer to you to buying from you, or for finding out more about you.
Direct Communication. When the time is right for your lurkers, they will appear in the DMs to find out more or go one better and buy from you. Alternatively you can appear in their DMs and communicate directly with them, to take them to the next step of knowing, liking, trusting and then buying from you.

How to use #FOMO to sell out Events #AIM23FOMO Creator
This presentation was delivered February 9th 2023, as part of the Adventures in Marketing Conference in Edinburgh #AIM23
If you have a business, you can create an event out of anything and if you can create an event, then you can use FOMO (the fear of missing out) to genereate the buzz and the excitement for your business.
In this presentation, I, May King Tsang (first name May King) go through the 4 steps on how to create FOMO to sell out events, sell your products, sell your services, and in this presentation, I have given plenty of examples of how I, as a #FOMOCreator have generated buzz and excitement for my clients, and how plenty of businesses, have generated FOMO for themselves.
The four steps to generating FOMO are:
1. Fear - how to overcome it and why it's important to put your big girl or boy or nonbinary pants on!
2. Opportunity - we want to #CreateContentForTheLurkers and the best way to do this, is by showing BTS (nope! I don't mean the K-pop sensation, I mean behind-the-scenes
3. Momentum - how do you build momentum when generating that buzz and excitement for your event, product or business? It's all about generating what I call:
#preFOMO
#liveFOMO and
#postFOMO
4. On the day - this is all about Live FOMO - how to generate a buzz and excitement on the day. Why it's important and why you're missing out, if you don't hire a dedicated #FOMOCreator to generate live social media content for you on the big day? Whether it's Tweets, Instagram Stories, LinkedIn posts, Facebook lives, YouTube or TikToks - you can create FOMO on any social media platform.
I've done it for my clients.
I've done it for my business and this presentation will help you understand how YOU can generate FOMO for you and your events too!
Woohoo hooooo!!!

GLIDE RadicalCollaboration - How to use FOMO to Build Community, Grow Your Ne...FOMO Creator
This practical workshop was delivered May 2021 as part of the Glide Project, hosted by Always Possible, funded by European Regional Development Fund and Buckinghamshire New University
This presentation is broken into 3 parts:
* How to Build Community
* How to Grow Your Network
* How to find collaborative opportunities.
This is the 5 step process that May King taught to attendees to her workshop.
The 5 step process can help to generate buzz and excitement for your lurkers because let's face it, we've all got lurkers on social media.
So how we convert these lurkers into collaborative opportunities?
Well May King devised a formular to help you:
FOMO (BC + RB GN = CO)
where FOMO = the Fear of Missing Out
BC = Build Community
RBGN = Relationship Building can in turn Grow your Network
CO = Collaborative Opportunity.
In order to generate that FOMO, you can follow a 5 step process, which May King has followed herself for her businesses, in London, in Brisbane and in Sheffield where she now resides.
The 5 step process is:
B - Build Community
R - Relationship Building
A - Authority + Prospecting
N - Notoriety
D - Direct Communication
----------------------------
Attendees of the practical workshop worked with each other to find ways to build their community, grow their network by relationship building, and find collaborative opportunities for their business, their cause, their charitable event.
I hope you find my presentation slides useful and if you have any questions, I'm only a DM away!

Training
Hello and welcome to MayKing Your Social Media Count. This is a 45 minute talk designed to help you to communicate in the most effecTEAve way when using Social Media.
Hello, my name is May King Tsang.
My first name is May King and I am the founder of MayKing Tea.
Just a little bit about myself. I am a Tea Note Speaker, hired to talk about all things tea.
I am a Tea Consultant, helping those who want to start a tea business and are not sure where to start.
I am a writer, writing for three blogs as well as my own, and I am writing a book on tea and recipes this year.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my tea puns and Social Media
Oh and I sell tea too :o)
I am the founder of Queensland Business: a Facebook Group that helps 4700+ members to Help, Share and Collaborate. We don’t sell to each other but help and support each other through relationship building, education and referrals. I am also the co-founder of The Likeability Company which helps business owners to build a communiTEA around them using Social Media. TLC is the global version of QBG.
Before we can start on The eTEAquette of Social Media, we should find out what it is first.
Social Media for me is:
- Relationship Building online. We may have attended Networking Events like this one that I help to create for Queensland Business. If we know how to relationship build when meeting people face to face, then it is easy to understand how to relationship build online. There are slight differences in relationship building online compared to face-2-face and one of them includes:
Word of mouth. Networking face-2-face, business owners could make recommendations to each other. When you talk to one other person, they may make recommendations. If you are listening to 2 people talking, you can learn so much from their recommendations and learn so much about business.
Creating CommuniTEA. There are many communiTEAs that you can learn from in Social Media. Find out where they hang out and listen and contribute when you deem appropriate.
Helping You Customers. Whether they are B2B (Business to Business) or B2C (Business to Consumer), your customers can be found on Social Media. Find out where they hang out and be available to answer their questions and showcase your rock stardom in your own field.
If you use traditional marketing methods and they work for you, don’t stop using them.
If the following worked for you, keep using them:
Advertising
Radio
TV
Letter Drop / Email Marketing
Cold Calling
Ron Windred from SendOutCards fame helps business owners to understand the importance of a postcard or thank you note through the door.
Use Social Media to enhance your existing marketing straTEAgy.
Haven’t got time for Social Media – you haven’t got time to ignore it. It’s not going to go away.
60% percent of 200 million active users log in via a mobile device at least once every month. ~ http://bit.ly/TwitterMobileUsers
According to Constant Contact’s 2011 Small Business Attitudes & Outlook Survey, 73% of small businesses & organizations have started using social media marketing
62% of those not using it expect to start marketing through social media within the next 12 months.
If you can Text, you have time for Social Media.
It’s all about what your friends / celebriTEAs are eating for dinner
* There are celebriTEAs on Social Media but your clients and other businesses are also on Social Media. You just need to know where to find them.
You can’t make money on Social Media
Like any marketing straTEAgy, it takes hard work, commitment and time. If you don’t put in the effort then you won’t reap the rewards.
The Link is of a 2 minute video of Gary Vanyerchuck explaining that if you don’t believe in Social Media, that’s like saying you don’t believe in the Internet.
And with Facebook Fatique affecting Australia according to this arTEAcle, it is time to move away from our Facebook comfort zone.
We need to start looking at other places. We need to start looking at other straTEAgies such as:
Driving traffic to your website
Think about and review our existing Social Media straTEAgies
Starting thinking about other Social Media Applications.
So if what goes on in Facebook stays in Facebook, what can we do to get found on Google?
We need a marketing straTEAgy.
We need to explore other Social Media tools.
Facebook and Google are competitors (think of their Ads, they’re both wanting your money) therefore doesn’t it make sense that Google is going to favour those search results where you use Google’s applications?
YouTube and Google+ and if you blog all the better. I use Twitter and my Tweets are more likely to be found than anything I write in Facebook.
Let’s have a look at some effective Social Media StraTEAgies.
i. Brand Awareness can mean a lot of things to many people, and includes:
Public Image
Wearing Your Brand. When you are at a Networking Event, do you:
Wear clothes with your brand on it? E.g. Corporate logo on t-shirt, wearing corporate colours?
If you drive a car, do you have your business details on the car? e.g. do you have a bag with your company logo on it?
Maybe you could wear somebody else’s products. If you are able to help someone, that will help increase your influence on people. Remember when you are at a networking event, it is not about you!
Using Your Products
Can you wear or use your products at a networking event? E.g. jewellery, shoes, clothes, makeup?
Projecting your brand
How do you write when you are your brand online?
Are you funny? Do you take yourself seriously
e.g I use TEApuns – this is part of brand awareness, I wear Chinese clothes, everything I written online is as if I’m talking to the person in front of me.
People want to know the person behind the business.
Do not hide behind your logo and let people gain an insight into your business.
Let people know via your About Page or Biography or use Social Media to help people gain an insight into who you are.
Some business owners try to keep their business separate from their personal profile but some business owners add Business Colleagues as friends on Facebook or other Social Media platforms.
If this is the case, you need to be on brand (be on your best behaviour) most of the time. Be mindful of what you write online because it stays there forever.
Whatever you say on a personal or professional sense is a reflection of you as a person and a reflection of you as a business, whether you like it or not.
On Facebook, I post once a day, but on Twitter I tweet several times a day. How many times do you post a day?
ii. How to relationship build online.
You have two ears and one mouth.
To relationship build you must learn how to listen.
And when I say listen, I don’t mean wait until the person has finished speaking!
Remember: with relationship building, it is NOT ABOUT YOU. Listen to see if there is a way you can help the other person. If you help them, they’re more likely to remember you, and if they remember you for the help you gave them, they might remember you and over time may refer you and your business to others. That is the power of relationship building: when other people talk about you.
How to relationship build online:
Getting to know others
* When you listen, you get to know other people
Help Others
* When you get to know other people, you can start to
Show GraTEAtude
* When you show graTEAtude, you continue to build your relationship with others.
* They are more likely to remember you.
One of the ways to build relationships online is to
Align yourself with successful people
If you’ve been to an event with a successful business person, have a picture taken with them.
It reminds you of where you have been and what you have become
That is not to say ignore those you perceive to be less successful as yourself.
Nobody is less successful than you are. Success is relative.
Relationship Build with all business owners because you never know what they know, who they know, how you can help them and how they can help you.
As well as aligning yourself with successful people, why not collaborate with somebody who is successful? Someone who is able to spread the word about you and your business?
I collaborated with an Award Winning Body Painter. We are both good at Social Media and these were the results after the picture of me was put up on Facebook, Twitter and other outlets.
We are both permanently featured in 3 websites, Anke received an enquiry which turned into work within 20 minutes of the photograph being put up on Facebook, and I am aligning myself with award winning Body Art Artist who won the People’s Choice award award for her Best of Oz design at the Australian Body Art Carnivale, and also won first prize in the brush and sponge category.
The statistics for Social Media also speak for themselves.
When you answer your client’s questions, remember that is it not always about you.
Help others with no set expectation.
In my example, someone asked me where to get a good cup of tea. I could’ve answered places that currently stock my tea, or I could answer a business that I would like to align myself with.
I don’t believe in competition, merely collaboration.
The second picture shows how a QBGer expressed thanks for me answering a question of hers and in doing so, she has helped to build relationship with me.
This section covers how to win friends and influence people.
If you have executed the previous straTEAgies correctly then this straTEAgy will come automatically if the opportuniTEAs for your business are out there.
If you haven’t read this book, I suggest that you buy it. It will help change your mindset when it comes to developing relationships and going to networking events.
When you:
define your brand online
get to know others and help them
deliver great customer service
A combination of the above enables you to start winning friends and influencing people.
This slide are examples of how others thought of me, when they saw a tea related item on Twitter and Facebook.
It is free publiciTEA for you and your business.
Remember the story of how a lady posted a picture of tea to my Facebook wall when she was on holiday? That has happened a couple of times for me actually.
The point is, is that when they thought of tea, they thought of me. That is how to win friends and influence people.
Other Social Media straTEAgies include:
Building your email database
Email Marketing is a straTEAgy that is often neglected but still an important part of a business’s marketing straTEAgy
Writing blogs to drive traffic to your website.
Blog posts can be used as fresh content to push to your Social Media Networks
Paid Ads
Paid Ads are a great straTEAgy to raise awareness about your business to those that are not fans (Facebook) or in your circles (Google+)
Remember that one of our goals is to find new clients. Potential new clients would probably use Google so how can we get to page 1 of Google?
using the premise of Help, Share, Collaborate one can improve one’s chances of getting found on Twitter by:
commenting on other people’s blog posts
+1 other people’s posts on Google+
share other people’s tweets
Like other businesses’ videos
share other people’s content on your Social Media Networks
find opportuniTEAs to collaborate and write about it or arrange for someone else to write about it.
other tips can be found in the link that I’ve written in Queensland Business. There are three parts to this arTEAcle. The arTEAcle can only be accessed if you are a member of Queensland Business.
This slide illustrates why I created Queensland Business: to help other business owners. I created it purely for the love of helping others and the comments I make in Queensland Business don’t even register in Google.
So if you want to make your comments count, and increase their chances of being found on Google, then start working outside of the Facebook Group.
Practice your techniques inside the QBG closed group and then start practicing outside of QBG by adding your directory listing on The Likeability Company.
Inside the Directory Listing you can:
Save your TEAchingTuesday Posts
Give recommendations to other people
Post your events and broadcast them inside QBG (but this will only work if you have worked hard on relationship building in the first place, otherwise it will construed as white noise and will probably be ignored).
http://bit.ly/TSMPwithMarkSchaefer - talks about how we as business owners are conditioned into traditional methods of marketing such as advertising. Whilst this may work for raising awareness about your brand and whilst it can help you make money in the short term, it is a straTEAgy that is not sustainable, whereas building relationships via Social Media is.
By adopting good human behaviours, communicating online helps to:
increase brand awareness for your business – people want to know the person behind the brand
relationship build, by help, share, collaborate
The reason why Google keeps changing their goalposts when it comes to searching online is that they want to emulate human behaviour.
Many people want to pay $thousand’s to try and force their page to be on page 1 of Google by paying for SEO and this is why they keep changing the goalposts
So be as human as possible – allow people to learn a little bit about you as a business owner. You are the face of business, let people know who you are because if people like what you write, they like you, they may buy from you in time or refer business onto you.
Communicate online as you would when you talk to someone.
Communicating online is an extension of your brand voice but how would you like to communicate online?
By Expressing:
GraTEAtude
This is an extension to your brand voice.
Politeness
Would you like others to be polite to you?
Courtesy
How would you like to be treated online? Is this how you’d like to be treated?
How would you like to be spoken to?
Respect
Who doesn’t want to be respected?
Often in heated discussions in QBG, individuals are harming their own brand
Social Media is about emulating human behaviour. Remember: the more you put out there, the more you receive #PayItForward
If you have a particular way that you talk to your clients (your brand voice) then keep being on brand. I write silly tea puns in my writings, and I spell the word ‘mayking’ deliberately as a personal branding tool.
What language do you use to speak with your clients?
Use Social Media to start building relationships with potential clients and other business owners.
In the true spirit of QBG, Help Share Collaborate online is the essence of Social Media.
It is not about you: it is how you can help others and share with others.
These are excerpts of conversations online on how we can help to build relationships with others.
Use Social Media to respond to customer’s questions. This helps to
build your profile as a rock star in your own field
helps customers with their buying decision
responding quickly helps to enhance excellent customer service.
When I googled whether or not to delete negative comments there was an overwhelming response on why you shouldn’t delete a comment
here are some of the links that you could read.

Remember that customers are not always right and once you have invesTEAgated, one might find the negative comment has nothing to do with your business, product or service.
Ways in which you can maintain your Social Media Presence Online:
Be consistent
Publish regular fresh content
Help your clients as much as possible
Share content to continue relationship building
Engage with your clients by asking questions and talking to them
Google Yourself from time to time
Remember that maintaining your online presence takes time.
Don’t forget why you are on Social Media and ensure that you stick to the straTEAgies you have decided to adopt to further your business online.
As well as Google.com, also search on the following
images.google.com
blogsearch.google.com
search.twitter.com
socialmention.com
sumall.com
Lots of people love FB and are in their comfort zones and don’t want to venture out, but we need to make our Social Media count, which is why I am encouraging people to find another platform to add to their Social Media Marketing. If you want to be found on Google, as a business owner, you’ll need to consider another platform.
Remember: Facebook Fatique is a phrase that according to the arTEAcle, meant that 400,000 Australians left Facebook in the first quarter of 2013.
Follow peers and “competitors” and social media specialists in your chosen application.
Listen to others in your chosen Social Media application.
Start writing notes on how they use the Social Media Platform.
Listen and learn from others.
Select your top 3 straTEAgies and see how the others have applied.
What techniques did they use?
How often did they use it?
Why did thy use a certain straTEAgy?
Keep listening and keep writing notes.
Follow businesses or people that:
You admire
Are in the same space as you
complement your business
‘competitors’
Remember the straTEAgies that you are going to be using for your new Social Media application.
Keep using those straTEAgies
Test and measure
Don’t give up.
I haven’t used Instagram for very long so I am practicing what I preach. I followed others, I listened, then I started practicing.
The last time I gave this talk, I had just under 100 followers and now they have increased.
Not that Social Media is a numbers game. Don’t chase the numbers, chase the engagement. Find out ways in which you can help and share and engage with others and your numbers will grow organically.
This is a table that summarises the functionaliTEAs that you use for each platform in order to Help, Share and Engage.
