If you understand this, truly understand this, about social media, you’ll never be confused about how to benefit wildy from it.

Notice I didn’t just say “get traffic from it”.

The One and Only True Power of Social Media is that it is completely based on getting approval from others.

So to understand how to use that information, answer this question for yourself: in a situation where popularity is driven by approval, who is the most powerful person?

Hint: It’s not the person who Gets the most approval.

Ask me below and I’ll give you another hint. A big one. For free, but I will only deliver it in private. And if you guess correctly or figure it out, I’ll let you know that too.

Within the next seven days, I’ll write in public about the answer. You’ll have to figure out for yourself which writing is the answer though.

Its not just respect... its trust. You need to get people to trust you as a reliable resource. When you get that trust- this is when social media traffic will convert for you.

Answer: the one in a position to give approvals. Maybe we should all create our own social networks, huh?

You are right, it's the way we develop the relationship with other social marketers. Just as respect has to earn it, it takes time before the "loyal 100s could give us free 10,000 traffic".

We get the chick by hatching the egg, not by smashing it, right?

More power! amd more tips, please :-))

You're right. I think that social media is another way to ge traffic. But not the most important, and perhaps an aditional form to connect with other potential readers.
If you want send me the information.
Thanks by your tip.
