Tips, Tricks, Do’s and Don’t’s of Social Media Marketing- Selling the Dream & Living the Nightmare

Tips, Tricks, Do’s and Don’t’s of Social Media Marketing- Selling the Dream & Living the Nightmare

In here, what I want to talk to you about today is selling the dream and living the nightmare.

Being a Freedom-Preneur Means Having Fun!

It can be inferred that there is a huge struggle for those that leave the corporate world. It’s this– we don’t take time to have fun.

Now let me ask you: So you finally did it, right? You left your corporate job so that you could pursue being a Freedom-preneur, only to turn right around and put in the same amount of time and effort to your home based business as you did for someone else.

What is the point of all of that? You left but then you were just going to still spend all of your time working, then why did you not stay in the industry you were in? Don’t ever forget that living the dream means taking the time to live.

In all seriousness and strictly speaking, you have to get away from your desk. You didn’t sign up for that. You signed up to be a Freedom-preneur and determining what your version of the Dream is.

Here are some of the tips I have for you today:

• You need to get out in the world and have fun! This is one of the most important things to remember. Take the time– in fact, a lot of time– to get away from your computer and enjoy life. Furthermore, spend time with your family, do something new, whatever you enjoy, go do it!

• Create a business that you can enjoy- We all know that there is no end to the number of things you can do in the online world. The key to this is to pick something you enjoy. Take note that you aren’t in it just for the paycheck, but for the other benefits of being on online marketer. Namely, those benefits are creating a business that you actually love. You don’t like what you are selling? Then sell something else.

• When you are doing what you love, you can do it longer- When you sell the things you love, then you will not even feel like you are working. You might find that you have been running non-stop 12-15 hours doing the thing you love. It won’t even feel like work, because you are so passionate about it.

Don’t Sell The Dream While You are Living the Nightmare

It’s time to get real people.Always be connected and transparent to your audience. You can’t sell them a dream life while you are living your own worst nightmare because people are going to see right through that.

For a long time, I was selling things that I didn’t like and couldn’t feel passionate about. I woke up and asked myself, “What am I doing this for?”. To me, my realizationwas that, what I was doing at home wasn’t much better than what I had been doing in my corporate career.

So, here is something you need to know about being a Freedom-preneur: the direction of your life is up to you. You don’t have a boss hovering over you dictating to you the exact dimensions of the box that you have to stay in.

It is undeniable that being in the online marketing industry will either energize you, or drain the life out of you. I am encouraging you to make 2016 your best business year yet and get your priorities straight. Last word of advice: Figure out what makes you tick and pursue it.

How an Outsourcing Team Can Grow Your Business

Have you thought of an outsourcing team before to grow your business? I wish to share with you the simple steps that you can take to increase the bottom line easily and economically.

Tim Ferriss who wrote the now famous "the 4 hour work week" showed the world how you can work less and earn more. The whole concept intrigued and open people's mind about using virtual assistants in 3rd world countries who are by the way well educated and highly trained.

With the knowledge in hand that there are people who can work for a 3rd of a cost of labor in their own countries then came the challenge of how do you train them and what can they do and I will now show you how you do both of these.

First things first:

Do you provide a service or have you an office based business for your clients?

• Bookkeeping
• SEO
• Website Design for
• Social Media
• Article Writing
• Amazon, Shopify or eBay store

All of these listed services can be outsourced and here is the exciting thing that happens you will be able to expand your business and take on extra clients and then outsource them and this will increase your bottom line.

I have personally seen outsource teams grow from only 1 or 2 virtual assistants to a team of 7-10+ VA's now that tells me the business is expanding. One of our clients came to us with only 1 Shopify store that we helped set up and train the customer service and with in 6 months they opened a further 5 stores!

Need To Train Staff

All businesses run a little differently you would not set a person up in your office and say there you go now you get to work. That would be setting yourself up for failure.

Online there is no limit to the training you can set up effortlessly. For example you could arrange to run a webinar and share and record your training, or you could do a short video and lastly a well written email in dot point.

Spend the time giving the necessary training that you would give any new employee.

What about other businesses?

Small start-up businesses normally start on a shoestring budget and want to do it all themselves and don't get me wrong it is good to have an understanding but I disagree that you need to be able to do yourself. If you look at the following list of "to do" tasks within a business, there is not any creative time in there for you to grow!

If you are doing everything yourself like:

• Bookkeeping
• Social media
• Marketing
• SEO on your website
• General admin tasks
• Video editing
• Blog promotion
• Customer Service

Where would you possibly get the time necessary to grow your business? Even if you worked 15-16 hour days how well would you do either of these tasks? You need to outsource, put a dollar value on your time and if you are worth more than $8.50 per hour you should look at getting your own VA.

So there you have it, the only way you can grow your business and increase productivity is to outsource and develop a team within a team.

If you are sick of burning the midnight oil missing family events to work on your business it now time to work less and grow your business by first outsourcing smaller tasks and growing your own virtual assistant team.

How To Communicate With Your Virtual Assistant

Before we start on how to communicate with your virtual assistant lets look at how you find the perfect VA for your task. One of the first things is to do is make a list of all of the daily tasks that you are currently doing within your business and then remove the tasks that only you can do, all of the remaining tasks you can outsourced.

Now you have the list the skills that you will need your virtual assistant to do you may need more than one VA:

· Someone that is technical

· Has video editing experience

· Article writing

· Social media skills

· SEO

It's unreasonable to think that the one virtual assistant would have all of these skills they may have one or two but the only way to see if they can complete their task is always to test them. Have them do a short test with a time frame to have this back to you.

How to communicate with your virtual assistant.

As I see all the emails that come into my company the challenge for most people is how to be understood. English is not the first language of the Filipino VA they can get very confused with clients that want to give a long story in their email about the task which is not necessary at all.

If you have a number of tasks keep the tasks to sharp, succinct and dot point works best in step order so the tasks flows best.

What I love to teach new clients about is the use of Jing software that can either record a 5 minute video where you can talk and show the virtual assistant where to find the information for the task or have them move it to another area.

Also it has screen capture that allows you to take a photo of the screen and then circle or use arrows to point to what you need to happen.

When a task comes back to you please check it thoroughly and give it back to the VA for corrections and or comments.

Further suggestions:

• On a Sunday I do my to do list for the tasks that need to be done by the following week. This means that all the work will be given for the week to the VA.
• Keep the work flow to manageable and easy to follow steps
• This will cut down on the number of emails

Need a VA is a virtual assistant outsourcing company based in the Philippines we have 9 different areas of the business that all have trained and expert staff ready to help you grow your business. Also there is a project manager that will manage all of your tasks. Please contact me here at http://www.needava.com for expert outsourcing.

Media & The City Edition of The Bon Bon Magazine

I’ve been working hard with Bonnie Bruderer cooking up a great event for women Freedom-preneurs. A new show is due to come out in the fall called, Brand It. This is a show that is modeled after, Making It.

Media & The City Featured in The Bon Bon Magazine

As part of the promotions for this event and the new show, a new edition of The Bon Bon Magazine will be released featuring a woman from Brand It. This first edition of the magazine has already come out to create buzz about this incredible thing that we are doing.

In this edition, they share about the event along with spotlighting one of the ladies that will be on the show. Also, you will find out information about the other shows that are coming out this fall.

The Magazine Will Feature Spectacular Women and Their Brands

It is hard to imagine, but this is going to be HUGE!!! As the weeks have gone on, Bonnie and I have been working to set these ladies up for success. All of these women have powerful brands that they are ready to unleash to the world.

Some of these fabulous ladies include:

Dr. Lesya Anna

I know they are ready for the world, but is the world ready for them?

There’s Nothing Like Brand It

What is so incredible about this new show is that there is nothing else like it. We have invited 12 entrepreneurs that are all women, to come and be a part of this show. The synergy is growing day by day as these ladies encourage one another on in their businesses.

I believe that this show is going to be the first of many seasons that will truly bring hope to up and coming Freedom-preneurs. I for one am feeling excited to see where it goes.

Media And The City Event in New York

Brand It- A New Show Produced By Bonnie Bruderer - Rhonda Swan

Bonnie and I met in Dubai during the Speak in Dubai event. We connected on such a deep level right away. We are like sisters from another mister.

Bonnie hosts the Askbonbon show. I asked her if she would be willing to come on to the Freedom-preneur show. It was awesome to have her on the show.

From these times together, Bonnie and I decided to create the Media in the City Event.

I knew right away that she would provide huge amounts of value to my followers and I started brainstorming with her how we could collaborate.

She came up with this idea of putting together a show called Brand It, based off of the show they have done called Make It. The attendees of the Media and the City Event will be filmed and showcased on this new show.

Here’s a sample of the show, Make It that Bonnie produces.

What The Attendees Will Accomplish at Media in The City

When everyone gets there on August 13, we are hosting a martini meet and greet. We’ll follow that up with a Sex in the City tour so everyone can get excited about being in New York. This tour is one of the most phenomenal brands that speak to women. It is a great example to us as a

On the next two days, we are going to hit the ground running. We will be in the boardroom working on our brands. This time will allow the attendees to get crystal clear on their brand messaging.

Everything that we do is leading up to the day of filming. Bonnie and I will host this show and interview 6 of the attendees at a time. This is their time to shine. They will share their message with the world and what they hope others will learn about their brand.

Since Bonnie is so well connected, she is going to bring in people that are not generally available in this industry. This will give those that come to the event more exposure than most people could hope for.

Sexify Your Brand

One of my biggest goals while we are there is to help you sexify your brand. I’ll work closely with you to help you develop a brand that aligns with your values and purpose.

By positioning yourself as the expert, you elevate yourself as an authority in the eyes of your buyer. In order to create this position, you will need to put together e-books, books, programs, webinars, and your overall packing of your products.

Telling your story in a way that solves the problems of your audience is a sexy way to promote what you do, rather than just selling them. This kind of connection is leap years over what most do in the marketplace.

Most people would rather sell you something then connect with you first. Standing on these principles is how you begin to create a sexy brand that people want to follow.

I Reveal My Seven Figure Strategies

During the boardroom meetings, I will share with you my seven figure strategies of generating automated sales funnels, webinars, and value-based shows that keep people coming back for more.

The simplest way to build your following and fill your events, webinars, and sell products is to develop your Unstoppable Sexy Brand (USB). Once you have a USB in place, you will be able to connect with your audience on a deeper level.

Each Woman Receives a Segment in the Show

In addition to the group interview, we will give each woman a one-on-one interview. Basically, the spotlight is shined on each person in attendance. This is a time where they will share their journey and hopes for their business.

The show will start airing across Bonnie’s networks in September.

Star For a Day Experience

We want you to have an amazing time while you are in New York. That is why we are going to give you a star for a day experience. Here’s an idea of what it’s like to be a star in the big city.

Do You Want to Have the Spotlight on You?

If you want to attend this event, we would love to have you. Space is very limited and the seats are filling up! Why wouldn’t it? We are giving you the chance of a lifetime. This could be a pivotal moment for you and take you to the next level right away.
