Thank you once again for an awesome post. I so admire and get your teaching on this subject and might I say, I believe you are a market leader when it comes to social marketing and syndication.

An interesting analogy just occurred to me also when reading this post. All the ’social networking’ that people do in order to try and create prospects is the online version of ‘cold calling’, YUCK.

Thank you for your leadership and I look forward to joining you soon.

The only part I don’t agree with is when you said “you know, that single thing you can do that will reduce your marketing time from 90% down to 20%, then 10%, etc.” Granted, I am a marketing person, but I feel that marketing is your business…everything you do in business could be considered your marketing whether it be the sign on the door or the empty toilet paper holder in the bathroom.

I disagree that Social Media should be used strictly for marketing. I’ve found quality prospects that I’ve moved to action, and also met valuable networking partners online.

And @Andreas, why would you need 3 twitter accounts? Doesn’t it get complicated trying to “be social” in different ways, to different people? Be yourself and you’ll get much farther in business.

I think the bottom line is that it may depend what your business is. For me, social media is perfect.

Then again… it’s technology

Thanks for that tip there, I see what you mean with that, I am going to have to think about this some more. As you say the end means is always the reward, the goal.

And persistence always pays off.

Thanks,

For some reason your comment went into the spam folder… not sure why??

As my post states … you have to be direct with your intention … start a group whose purpose is to share… Educate them on the benefit of forming the group and then each member becomes accountable to each other member to carry out marketing tasks for each other.

It will take a little while to set this up, get people in and start the ball rolling but you must be diligent. The reward is great.

Excellent writing. I’m with you all the way. I absolutely love your content. Perry Belcher reminds me of a person that’s looking for Fame and Fortune. (not that anything is wrong with that) I like your style, its very low keyed and authentic, that’s important to me. Keep up the excellent work, you’re the Top Dog in my book.

The Syndication Revelation……that’s what I’m talking bout.

Thanks for sharing.

II understood your general idea before (and have been meaning to read your recent eBooks as my next “study step,” which I started). But with this blog post I feel like I get it even better. It sounds like a very simple idea.

I probably want to join your SYNDD network if it is still open when I am ready. I’m actually re-organizing so that I can cancel some other monthly memberships to have more time and money and then I was very interested in SYNDD. Now after reading this I am even more interested. I would love to just build my websites, add content, improve my design, analyze my Analytics stats and improve my content and design even more, make lots of videos, distribute them, work on my content … and, like you said, spend 10% of my time on promotion. That sounds great.
