Why Blogging Is Essential To Dominating Social Media Marketing

Social media marketing is my favorite method to building my business online for many different reasons.  I’m a very social person for one, so it’s easy for me to connect with and talk to other people.  The results are almost Immediate in comparison to a lot of other free marketing methods.  Oh yeah, and IT’S FREE! Social Media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace allow us to connect with hundreds and thousands of New People Every Single Day.  These are just a few of the reasons why I absolutely Love Social Media Marketing for my business building method.

Now let me share with you a few downfalls to social media, and how we can solve these problems very easily.  When you set up an account with a social media site, or any site for that matter, YOU DON’T OWN IT.  These sites Can and WILL Shut You Down if They Don’t Like What You’re Doing.  I’ve had my Facebook account shut down 3 times in less than 5 months, and at the time it was devastating, because I didn’t have anything else in place.  I’ve since learned my lesson with Facebook and have not had problems in over 8 months.

This is where blogging and social media together absolutely solves that problem.  When you have your own blog, and I’m not talking about a blogspot.com blog or a blogger.com blog, You CAN’T Get Shut Down.  Having your very own self-hosted wordpress.org blog is the way to go.  If you’re unsure what that means, take a step back and look at my blog that you’re on right now.  This is my site with my own domain name, and I can and will put whatever I want on here with no threat of being closed down ever.  (if you want to set your own self-hosted blog up, I will show you how in my 8-day bootcamp)

What exactly does blogging allow you to do with social media?

I’m going to bring the example from George Fourie, creator of thatMLMbeat.com, on the training call we had with him last night about blogging.  Social Media is “the Party”.  When you’re at a party and you meet someone for the first time, you wouldn’t tell them to join your business opportunity before getting to know them on a personal level.  Well, maybe you would, in which case you would want to get your Attraction Marketing Blueprint before you go any further.  The point is that when you’re at a party, you want to get to know the person, and possibly invite them to a gathering at your house (your blog), before a business opportunity is even mentioned.  Your blog is your central hub between all of your social media networks, and is the place where you will solidify trust and build relationships with all of these people you meet.

Your blog will showcase your talent, knowledge, and everything about you and your business.  When a Facebook friend or a Twitter follower comes to your blog, they should be able to learn something useful for their business for FREE.  When you give away tons of Valuable Content for FREE, your followers will continue to come back to your blog and solidify their trust in you along with your mutual relationship.  One other thing to make very clear is sharing blog posts on social media is much more accepted by people who don’t yet know you than sharing capture page links or business opportunities.  Here’s exactly how I Generate Blog Traffic from Facebook groups.

Remember that Social Media Marketing is all about building relationships, and there’s no better way to get someone to trust you than to give them valuable content for FREE and show them Results.
