Forever Enhancing

November 3, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

The entrepreneurs who are made to stick around don’t have peaks or maximum turning points. They don’t finish something, say it’s good enough, and stop enhancing it. The entrepreneurs who are made to stick around are constantly enhancing their products, visibility, abilities, and anything else they can enhance.

Getting 50 visitors a day isn’t enough for entrepreneurs made to stick. They do everything in their power to have 100 visitors every day. Once they make it to 100 visitors every day, it’s no longer good enough. 100 visitors a day becomes 150 visitors every day, and it continues to grow.

It’s important to be happy and grateful for what you have accomplished so far. However, you shouldn’t be satisfied with what you have accomplished. What you have accomplished now isn’t an end-game. There are more things for you to accomplish, and accomplishing them involves work on your part.

Keep on growing your business. When you’ve grown your business the way you’ve wanted to, find ways to enhance your business. Even the multibillion dollar businesses are finding ways to enhance themselves. Apple still comes out with new products. WalMart is still offering big sales. Twitter decided to go for IPO even though it’s already doing just fine.

There is no limit to how much you can achieve or how much your business can grow. By enhancing your business, you will be able to watch it grow like never before. The first “like never before” is going to be replaced again and again. Don’t stop. Keep on going.

Finding The Right Methods Of Growth

November 3, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

If we all knew the right methods of growing a business, we would all be very successful. When we begin our businesses, we don’t know the right methods. In order to be successful, you will have to go through numerous experiments (not the ones where you dissect frogs) until you find the right methods to grow your business.

There are going to be some good days and some bad days. However, the good days are the ones you can replicate. There were methods you used in that good day that you can use again to produce more days that are just as good if not better.

I went from gaining 20 Twitter followers every day to gaining over 100 followers every day. This was not an on-off switch. I had to experiment with many possibilities before this happened. When you find a method that works once, it is going to work again and again. The methods I use today to get hundreds of Twitter followers are the same ones I have been using for months.

As you continue to experiment with different possibilities, you will learn the right methods and the wrong methods. When you find the right methods, continue using them and eventually find ways to enhance them.

The Problem With Collaborating For A Few Minutes

November 2, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

A few minutes is the nice way of saying, “As little time as possible.”

A collaboration isn’t going to be successful if it only lasts a few minutes.

People might not even want to do the collaboration at all since it is only a few minutes long. When something is only a few minutes long, it usually gets marked as unimportant in our minds.

We all need to collaborate with a team and our clients. We need to know what everyone wants and find a way to give it to them. That’s how a true collaborative session works.

A few minutes isn’t going to work. Not putting up a time limit for your collaboration will allow everyone to get their say.

If you’re performing any task in a few minutes, it won’t be as effective as not giving yourself any time limit. Don’t stop yourself when you’re on the right path to making progress. Keep on going, and don’t focus too much on the clock.

The Impatient Desire To Win

There are plenty of sports games. There are the debates. There are the board games as well. We have been taught to understand that winning is better than losing. Winning the soccer game is better than losing the soccer game.

However, people want the win too quickly. People think of the fame, the glory, and the rewards that go along with winning. If you beat the competitor, you’re the #1 guy or gal. The thought of #1 makes people set the bar too high. When the bar gets set too high, people become impatient and want to win faster.

Track runners run faster because they want to cross the finish line first. They push up their pace and end up being exhausted on the final lap. Then, everyone comes from behind and catches up. I’ve seen it happen to others and myself as well. Thinking about the fame, glory, and rewards makes us go out of control. We lose out on what could have happened because we were too focused on getting the win.

You can’t go from startup to thriving business with a sprint. Becoming successful is a marathon, and I’m sure you’ve heard that many times. However, some people think that they’re the exception, and they sprint the first mile of the marathon. The other 25 miles aren’t going to end very well.

Some people can’t fish. They are able to go on a boat and throw the line into the water. However, many people aren’t willing to wait that long for a fish to surface. It’s entirely possible that a fish doesn’t bite for hours. Fishing requires a lot of patience in order to get the win, but many people want the win as soon as they can get it.

The fame, glory, and rewards should motivate you to work harder. However, those thoughts should not motivate you to rush to a finish line that is all the way at the end of the rainbow. Persistence is powerful, and it will allow you to get to the other side of the rainbow where you will thrive.

Where To Buy Real Followers

November 1, 2013 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

It seems as if there are more services promoting fake followers. Let’s not forget to mention spam accounts on social networks that claim you can get “1,000 followerz” with their secret method (even though they usually have under 500 followers). These services are tainting what it means to buy followers. There are some services that do what they’re supposed to do: give you real followers.

There are three services that I am going to talk about. I use them all alongside methods that constantly work (following back, posting consistently, etc).

Twiends is a free service that allows you to get more Twitter and Instagram followers although in my opinion, they do a better job with increasing the number of Twitter followers. In Twiends, you use seeds (their currency) to get more followers. There are also paid option in which you can get more seeds or featured for a day. I am going to try the Featured Slot for a day very soon, and I will tell you how it goes. Some people have reported getting 2,000 followers from this option.

PinWoot is exclusively for Pinterest. Just like Twiends, PinWoot’s currency is seeds which you can get for free by following others, referring people to PinWoot, repinning, and liking other people’s pins. With PinWoot, you can do all of the following if you have enough seeds:

Get more followers
Get more repins
Get more likes
Schedule pins
And anything else they feel like adding

You can buy seeds on PinWoot as well. There aren’t any featured options, but there are plenty of deals available. Although PinWoot’s prices are a bit higher than Twiends, PinWoot gives you more options than Twiends. PinWoot also takes spam and unfollowing very seriously and terminates accounts who get caught.

YouLikeHits is another service that will allow you to get more followers on a variety of social networks. Out of all three of these services, YouLikeHits provides the most options. They have options for every major social network except Facebook. There will be some accounts that follow you and only have 1 tweet, but for the most part, YouLikeHits will give you a quantity of followers. I mainly use YouLikeHits for Pinterest, but I sometimes use them for YouTube.

YouLikeHits gives you the most options and the highest amount of followers for your money. PinWoot gives you the top quality Pinterest followers who are unlikely to follow you. Many of the followers I get from PinWoot commonly repin my pins. Twiends allows you to control how many followers you can gain every day if you purchase a package of seeds. However, if you get featured for a day on Twiends, you will get about two thousand real followers in 24 hours which is the fastest of the three services.

UPDATE: Not all followers from YouLikeHits are real, but by getting more followers, you will be able to follow back more people while keeping a good follower to following ratio. In addition, the real followers you get from YouLikeHits have the potential to interact with you.
