❗ ** Your Social Media Reality ** ❗ It should come as no surprise that social media is influenced by parties outside your country of origin. In fact, in countries such as China, Vietnam, and North Korea, companies have formed to fraudulently boost "likes, comments, and impressions" for as little as $0.01 per interaction (source: https://lnkd.in/eG7xxdi7). These companies, known as "Click Farms" (see picture A), are simply a network of inter-connected devices that a single operator can leverage to facilitate hundreds to thousands of clicks per hour that trigger the "viral" algorithms on any social media site. As a moderator for a local community forum, we see this firsthand with dozens of posts weekly for services such as car detailing, vent cleaning, and garage door repair, and other Business-to-Consumer services that are rejected due to a high probability of being scams. When we took over the forum, we were seeing, on average, about 25-30+ scam posts per week from wholesome, "American" looking families "looking for help with their struggling small business" (See Pic B). The reality is that these "families" are fake Facebook profiles using stolen pictures (often multiple pics of them with a baby or small children) and very American sounding names (e.g. Eric Scott, John Martin, etc). It's not until you see under the covers where a large number of these posts are coming from. In this forum alone with over 2,500 members, you can see that about 1 in 8 interactions are coming from countries outside the US (see picture C). Keep in mind, this forum is for a community of about 7,000 people located in Essex county in NJ. More to come on this but I wanted to lay some groundwork about the state of our social media and the influences that are affecting everything that you see on a daily basis (including this post!).

Executive Coach guiding business leaders and sales executives to gain clarity, build personal strategy and reduce financial stress | TEDx | Public Speaker
I now have 9000 followers on LinkedIN but these 3 numbers matter more... Number One: $5700 That's how much money I spent in 2023 using professionals on this network that I got to know and trust. And I regret zero of that. Every transaction brought the intended value if not more. It's so nice to spend hard-earned money with people and have such little anxiety of the quality of the outcome! Relationships make that happen. Number Two: 17 The number of Founding Heroes that came from LinkedIN to join my most audacious product to date, The Assembly (a wealth-building community). Of those 17 people that originally joined from LinkedIN, 16 are still members 3 months later. - We have referred each other for business - Learned from experts about wealth-building - Had fireside chats full of encouragement, tips and laughter I'm confident it will be a success and impact to many as we open it up to the public because of them. Number Three: $99 I came from sales, not marketing. So when someone I had never spoken to or even knew existed bought my Foundation course for the first time, I was ecstatic. I had closed $10M deals before and this was just as exciting. All the hard work and new things I had learned and pieced together were finally showing results! And of course, I reached out to Megan (who bought it) and we have chatted multiple times. She's in the Assembly and is a wonderful person in general, but I'll never forget that moment that all this "reinvention" of myself felt validated. To the 9000 people I'm connected with now, I hope we get to take our relationship beyond lurkers and commenters to something more meaningful as time goes on. My promise to you is to provide the best quality I'm capable of in anything I do and to never be boring while doing it! Like I told my wife when I proposed to her..."I can't promise you much, but I can promise time with me will be always be interesting!" ------------------- Huge update! The greatest exclusive wealth-building community in the world is officially OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and you can try it out for $1 this month.

Marketing for Capital Raisers - Attract More Investors, Raise More Capital & Promote Your Investment Opportunities
Do you really know your investors? It's so important to set yourself apart from the rest of your competitors in this industry. How can you do that? Really get to know your investors AND show them you know them! Here are some ways to gather valuable info about them and how to use it to your advantage: 1. Use forms on your website and lead magnets to collect info like: How did you hear about us? When's a good time to contact you? What's your preferred method of communication? If you're collecting this info make sure you're taking their preferences into consideration when you reach out. 2. Once they invest with you, send a Get To Know You form to gather info like: How can we help you reach your financial goals? Any other topics of interest you'd like us to cover on webinars, blogs or social media? Personal preferences on tangible items they like so you can send a personalized gift thanking them for investing. Use this info when you personally reach out and create content around what your investors are saying. 3. Create an investor only community. This will organically foster connection between you and your investors and learn more about what they're up to in real time. You can host this as a closed Facebook group or WhatsApp group. 4. Be intentional when traveling. If you travel for work, see if you can host a meetup or happy hour if you know the city you're in is a hotspot for your investors. Or ask if they want to get dinner or coffee when you have a free morning or night. Don't forget to link your forms to your CRM so all that info goes directly to the contact. Your CRM, exclusive investor community and in person events are great avenues to really get to know your investors.

I’m the weirdo who actually loves sales! I help coaches get seen, get paid, and (dare I say it?) love selling too
Don’t make this costly mistake as a business owner! I’m mid launch and Facebook has decided to kick me off my account leaving me no way of accessing it! I’ve tried for 2 days to recover it without a glimmer of success! Never build your business on rented ground because you never know when the powers that be will just come along and shut you down! And there’s not a lot you can do about it! Thankfully I have everyone’s email address so all is not lost! But it also reminded me there’s nothing ever as good as a real relationship! As in proper good old we know each other, we’ve got each others number and we talk! I’ve been guilty as the next person focusing building a community online, but this has been a stark and costly reminder that online friends can easily be lost! They don’t show up in my feed for a few weeks, probably forgotten! My learnings from this absolute headache that’s almost had me turn grey and swear a lot… Own your own data rather than relying on Facebook, TikTok etc to build your business! Get peoples email addresses and backup your data! Build genuine connections, that matter. So that if you suddenly disappeared from social media one day, people would notice! The only way you can do that is show up, be you, be real, share your stories and don’t hide behind your posts! The only way we’re going to connect with you is if we know you’re real and your part of our daily life, video will help you do that!
