“Building
your brand,” is something writers have been schooled on for years now. After
all, the more popular you are the more books you can sell. Now it seems that
the rest of the professional world is catching on to this whole branding idea.
Never before have there been so many possibilities and avenues for branding oneself.
Social media is creating wealthy people every single day.
From rock
stars to weathermen people are learning that social media is the best and
fastest way to interact with their fans. For some a single tweet goes out to
millions of fans; while others choose to use a Facebook post or a You Tube
video. But, is just using social media enough, or is there a method to all this
madness?
As I
continue to work on my online retirement income I spend much of my time
learning. Learning means growing, and growing my business and becoming self-sufficient
is my main goal. Just having tons of friends on Facebook or thousands of people
following you on Twitter is not enough. What separates you from any other Joe
Blow on the internet is how you interact with your fans and followers. Interact
being the key word of today’s blog. Simply throwing a post or tweet out every
so often is not interacting in the best possible way. The most successful
internet careers are those built on positive interaction.
No matter
what business you work in or aspire to work in, positive interaction with your
fans and followers is your best tool. Take the time to actually meet the
faceless Facebook friends you have. If you only have 15 minutes a day to be on
social media, use it wisely. Be nice, there is not enough time to waste any of
it being negative. Some people spend a few minutes a day to a few hours a day
interacting with fans and followers…and it works. Try it you have nothing to
lose and everything to gain. You will also make the world a little better place
for those around you. Have a nice day. Lowell Henderson
