[audio on the go] Quality vs Quantity of Connections in Social Media.

Today in the Free Traffic Tips Minicast, we’re talking about whether or not friending a whole bunch of people on Facebook or Twitter is the point of the game or does you any good.

Here’s a hint: Seth Godin says no. In this audio, I start explaining why. You can play it below or download it [mp3 | 5.9 mb].

  • Hi Patrick,

    I don't think there's a better feeling in the world for a person who expresses themselves as a writer than knowing you've inspired someone else to write. Thank you so much for telling me that. I'm so happy I could be of help to you.

    RE: Evergreen, I'm building a sequel. And the membership video invite should have taken you to http://members.leveragedpromotion.com/ - typo on my part. I'll reinstate the domain and re-direct it. Thanks for letting me know.

    Please let me know when you've used this comment as a blog post, I'd like to link to it in my feed and send folks to your site - maybe send me a trackback link.

    It's so important to see the things we're doing online in correspondence to what we do online and you've hit that nail on the head. I wish there was a blog dedicated to just that. Thank you again, so much, for your kind words.
  • Thank you Tinu ...a thought provoking audio blog and a timley reminder of the 'humanity' i.e. the real people behind the numbers on contact and subscriber lists. Spot On! ...Inspired me to write a bit about it ( 3 paragraphs of text bellow)...Bless You Patrick H. UK
    Also some P.S.'s at end.

    HIDDEN HUMANITY
    I liked very much the idea of 'imagining' while you are talking or writing, that amongst all the people reading or listening, there are those out there who you could picture as being your freinds.I suppose this is the human aspect and potential that paradoxicaly is often hidden behind the ' Wonderous Worldwide Web' that at the same time can unite us over vast distance.
    This human element is further distanced at times when we are procupied with monitising, marketing or other personal agenda. Because as you said we would not go to a social 'party' or a Bar armed with sales brochures and then proceed to cold pitch or 'pick the brains' of everyone we met there.

    BRIGHT EYES AND SALES
    Years ago one of my most enjoyable work activities was my first attempt at selling door to door. After getting over the daily 'petrifying' experince of making that first knock on a door, I soon got into verbal auto pilot mode, and would genuinely enjoy meeting people.
    Then I would become more aware of other interesting aspects like the color of their eyes, etc. and if I also had good sales I would really be on a high.I was also surprised how many people were happy to talk to me as door to door 'cold pitching' in the UK has low cred.

    WHAT STRATEGIES?
    Of course by definition the human needs for 'real time' physical and 'in your face' communication can never be totaly fulfiled in 'cyber' space, however we can optimise that space for authentic communication. So I suppose we need to create more strategies and tricks that remind us of that 'hidden humanity' that are exist both 'out there' and inside ourself when we blog, twit, flick or whatever. I have some ideas brewing, perhaps others out there also have more ideas ? I think you have started a very valuable thread Tina.
    All Best Patrick H UK

    P.S.2 This is the second time I have been inspired to write after listening to a blog, both times your audio blogs ( 1st on your 1st audio blog) so I will try to follow them when I have time
    P.P.S. I have some ideas mmhhhh, maybe I will start my first ever blog page, and on this subject...
    P.P.P.S. Thanks for exelent content on Evergreen Traffic Dashboard plus Vids via Marlon Sanders. One thing though I would love to join the invite at end of evergreen vid but members/leveragepromotions.com is parked on GoDaddy. Is there an alternative domain or have you retired from this actvity? I did not put my full name on form below as I do not know about security arrangements..[.I'm new to this whole game and learning PPC etc...Bit snowed under with it all at moment.]
