Create Something Worth Sharing

October 6, 2013 by Marc Guberti 2 Comments

People are focusing on getting their message out there. People want others to tell people about their products. Word of mouth is powerful, and the ability to share content on social media is just as powerful. However, word of mouth and social media don’t result in a product that gets shared a lot.

Instead of finding more ways for people to share your product, create a product that is worth sharing. The best products aren’t necessarily the ones that get all of the advertising slots on television or the ones where the seller has over 100,000 followers on multiple social networks.

The best products are the ones that are worth sharing. People won’t share a sub par product that they see in an advertisement. You’ve told one of your friends about a product. That was a product worth sharing because you told someone else about that product. The product worth sharing is the one that goes from the unknown to the next bestseller.

Don’t create the hype. Create something of value.

The Will And The Way

October 6, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

The way you are thinking of might be the right way to go. You might end up thriving by going that way.

You might also end up thinking about the wrong way. That business opportunity isn’t as good as it looks.

There are plenty of choices, but the will allows us to decide which way we go. We have to have a desire to head in a particular direction before we actually head in that direction. If there’s a lot of crossroads, but there’s no logic of which way to go, there’s no motivation. Without that motivation, people end up going away from that path and taking another route.

The desire to continue will allow you to take the right way so you can thrive and unlock your potential. However, you need the will to continue even through the toughest times (they will come).

The way is nice. We know what we want to become. Take steps of action that will allow you to get closer to your future. If you’re already taking steps of action, take more steps of action.

Escaping The Grind

October 5, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

What is the grind and what are you escaping from? Is there even a grind at all? If you don’t like what you do, you’re in the grind. Every day is another day of the grind.

If you’re thinking of escaping the grind, there’s no reason to continue with the grind. You don’t like the grind, and you won’t like it. The person who doesn’t like being a doctor and is a doctor is going through the grind. The person who doesn’t like being a car mechanic and is a car mechanic is going through the grind.

If you’re in the grind, you need to escape that grind. You don’t escape the grind by walking into another grind. If you don’t like being a doctor, and you’re a doctor, going into a profession you don’t like isn’t an escape from the grind.

The only way to escape from the grind is to do what you love. Everyone wants their own blog and social networks. If that’s a grind for you, it won’t work. If being a doctor is like going through the grind, it won’t work. If you love being a doctor, you’ve escaped the grind.

You can go from profession to profession but still be in the grind. When you stick with a profession, and you like it, you have escaped the grind. When you escape the grind, you will be able to achieve greatness.

20 Proven Methods To Get More Twitter Followers

October 5, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

Here is the giant list of ways to get more followers on Twitter. It is up to you to implement what is on the list:

Tweet regularly.
Tweet consistently.
Follow people with good follow back ratios.
Follow back your followers.
Retweet other people’s tweets.
Don’t primarily focus on tweeting what you want to tweet. Focus on tweeting what your followers want to see. You’ll get more retweets and influence this way.
Promote your Twitter account on other social networks.
Say something very clever about a trending topic. This will get you a lot of retweets and exposure.
See when your followers are on Twitter by using Tweriod so you can figure out when to send out your best tweets. If your followers always see your best, they will continue to follow you and spread the word.
Be patient. If you get 20 followers every day, you’ll get 7,300 followers every year. You’ll get more followers per day as you get more followers though.
Focus on quality. Buying Twitter followers will accomplish the job of giving you more Twitter followers, but fake followers aren’t going to help your ideas spread on Twitter or any social network. The quality followers are the ones you build upon.
Do something creative. Don’t do what everyone else is doing. Be different on Twitter, and in what you do, and you’ll get more followers.
Start conversations because people need a reason to talk with you and tell their friends about you.
Be quick and reliable. If you aren’t replying to an important tweet within 30 minutes with an accurate response, that’s not good enough because the average person is only using Twitter 23 minutes every day.
Have a good bio. People need to know about you before they decide to click the follow button.
Have a picture of YOU. The people with hundreds of thousands (or millions) of real followers have pictures of themselves. There are few exceptions, and for the exceptions, not all of their followers are real. If you’re afraid to put a picture of yourself on social media or the web, you’ll be afraid of doing the incredible.
Tweet popular content. You can see how popular a link is right now with the URL shortener, Bitly.
Look at the statistics. If one of your links is getting clicked like crazy, tweet that link tomorrow as well.
Use TwitterCounter to find out when you gained the most amount of followers. By figuring this out, you’ll be able to identify what you did on a particular day that led to the best result.
Tweet quality content. It’s good to tweet what other people want to see, but if you can combine that with quality, you have the winning formula.

Self-Added Rules

When people figure out what they are, will they be impressed? There are many writers, but not all of them are giving themselves extra rules to follow. Some writers strive to achieve alliteration in every line or paragraph. That’s easier said than done.

Dr. Seuss’ masterful rhyming techniques got noticed. People marveled at what he was able to do as a writer.

Some people publish blog posts every day while others achieve a certain standard in their writing.

We are all forced to follow rules. It’s inevitable. Whether you can’t wear jeans to work or were told to go up to the chalkboard, we are all forced to follow some rules. However, the rules that you give yourself to follow are going to be the ones that you benefit you the most. What rules are you going to give yourself?

It Was A Success

Last summer, I decided to send out two blog posts every day. Today, I am still doing that, and the overall result has been a success.

It’s not easy to change something, but when it gets changed, you might benefit from it greatly. I would have about 300 posts published. Now I have 400 posts published. I have also had more time to practice writing.

Take the leap and pursue your goals. It’s worth it.
