| Well, certainly it helps if your friends and family | | | | also post an about me blog link under your profile |
| are marketers! But this is not the case, this is | | | | (you might put a capture page in your blog, but |
| rarely the case. So, what is the next step? Well, I | | | | remember to keep the blog unique---something |
| have heard it said over and over from those who | | | | about you). This particular blog of mine starts with |
| cannot afford PPC or who cannot afford the | | | | my reflection on 2 cartoon characters and how |
| $1000 programs that will teach you how to do | | | | their attributes can be used in network marketing. |
| this, that video marketing is a great way to | | | | It is not a practical application, it is more of the |
| connect. | | | | mindset needed to keep moving forward. |
| And don't do what I did, make videos on my | | | | As you move forward or even before you move |
| companies and stick them out there for others to | | | | forward, you might ask yourself, "why would |
| view or more likely ignore. What is really the best | | | | someone join me in my biz? What can I offer my |
| approach is a generic video, talk a little bit about | | | | team? What do I specialize in or what strengths |
| your self, your goals, your life (do not give out | | | | do I have?" This doesn't have to mean you are a |
| too much info, that can be dangerous and/or | | | | guru or super techy person, it could be you are |
| BORING). But just snippets of who you are now | | | | truly a team player, you are a single parent |
| and where you want to be later on, or whatever | | | | seeking to help your child's life improve and will |

| Because in the end people do not buy into | | | | issue is the willingness to help others, that is |
| companies, they buy into people they trust, | | | | service my friends. If I can help others I am also |
| people who can teach them the "how to lead in a | | | | helping myself to succeed (whether monetarily or |
| very competitive industry." So, be personable, | | | | just growing as a caring person). Obviously, we |
| post links and integrate a generic video in your | | | | seek the monetary part of this, especially in this |
| Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, twitter or | | | | poor economy. Anyway, what I am trying to |
| whatever other social nets you use. But do not | | | | point out to you is that you need to brand |
| bring commercials to your video. Keep the links as | | | | yourself in your blog and profiles. I am thinking of |
| social connects and do not post your company | | | | the brand retiring person, but then again it could |
| link in this video. Imagine you are at a party. Do | | | | be a person of faith in the market. Not to preach, |
| you bring commercials and advertising to a party? | | | | but to help, love and serve in simple ways, one |
| No you connect socially and have fun, so be | | | | person at a time. |
| friendly, be amiable & just be you!! Now, if | | | | I could also be the cartoon lady with Curious |
| someone questions you as to what you are doing | | | | George and Charlotte as my mascots...LOL...I kind |
| in the job market, you can share! | | | | of like that. Needless to say, you can do so much |
| Now in your social sites have some fun stuff, like | | | | with this branding. It looks like branding helps |
| family pictures, vacations, hobbies, sports or | | | | bonding and bonding builds TRUST. People need to |
| whatever. If you are using Facebook you can | | | | trust, so be honest and maybe someday we will |
| post your generic video in about me & you can | | | | connect. |
