Welcome back once again to my avid readers here at Tyger’s GVO Today Blog.

Are you ready for week #5 of the 12 week leadership course led by GVO’s Vice President of Marketing Gerry Schroeder?

Today he is going to bring us up to date on Social Network Marketing & The Big 3.

Do you know what Social Marketing is and what you should be doing with it?

Social Marketing is all about how people become interested in what others are doing online. Social networking services focuses on building connections with people around the globe.

The Big 3 are; FaceBook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

There are many other social marketing websites out there, but these 3 really matter. It is like fishing on the ocean…Where would you like to cast your line with your bait to hook the big one?

Social marketing makes it easy to put your line in where there are plenty of fish.

At GVO we make it even easier by teaching you how to access these social marketing sites with one click.

GVOC is going to become one of the biggest product launches in the history of the Internet on September 8. Team Tyger Goods is going to be inside it, driving it, and marketing the product. Get a hold of me on Skype @ TygerGoods and join my international team. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity on September 8, as Joel Therien and his team will be adding more tools that will bring you success on the Internet.

Participation With Social Media Marketing

Getting clients and furthering your brand by leveraging online platforms on which people connect and interact with you and create discussion.

We are in the shipping business and as leaders we know that people are becoming more educated. Get to know the people on your social media sites and build a bigger following. Don’t try to fool them. They will remove you from their lists if you appear to be dishonest.

Here are the latest stats on the number of members on the Big 3 Social Marketing Websites

FaceBook – 475 Million Worldwide

FaceBook – 126 Million in the USA

LinkedIn – 67 Million

The Big 3 are free to join and targeted where you can find really great people to partner with. This is the art and science of addressing their needs with like minded and positive people. We all are involved in network marketing. Some get paid for it, so let us at GVO show you how to get paid for what you are already doing.

When you are making contacts with Social Marketing websites, don’t go for the juggler vein. You want to build that know, like and trust relationship first. Recommend and promote to people who are receptive to your initial contact.

Gerry Schroeder’s 12 Step Leadership Course will guide you every step of the way. Remember, there are no get rich quick schemes when it comes to Internet marketing. Yes, it may take a couple of years, but once you become a 10Thousandaire, two years goes by quickly, so don’t ever quit on yourself or your dreams.

Benefits of  Having Your Own Hub Blog/Website

• Base Site – all your other websites should point back to it
• All information in one place – your one stop shop
• The place where you want your traffic to go

FaceBook – What is it? A Social Media site that offers;

• Profile Pages
• Pages
• Fans
• Groups
• Members
• Events
• Notes/Status Updates
• Applications
• FaceBook as a hub or Website
• A safe location where you can establish friendships

Here are some ways to build your community type of atmosphere on FaceBook;

1. Search for friends and business contacts by email
2. Join Groups
3. Search new contacts by topics

This is the best way to fish for groups, just check the number of friends a person has. If they have a few thousand associated friends, then put in a request as they are well connected with like minded people.

One great tip to remember is to add your Skype ID as it is another growing Social Media platform that is really growing towards 500 Million members worldwide. Once you are connect to your Skype friends try to talk or text with them everyday. Continue to learn how to effectively use FaceBook by attending more of the conferences here at GVO.
