Social Media Is Not About Me

In tribute of my upcoming training MC Don Dees has asked me to guest write here at Dondequiera. So I'll be taking the reins here for a while. My purpose is to share with you some of the background for Mis Tribus, our Conversational Model (previously called the Revenue Growth Model), and Fanz.ly.

I've been a fan of Kathy Sierra ever since I attended her tutorial Creating Passionate Users at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention back in 2005.  But I have to admit that some of her key points never hit home, until today. Even though I watched her give this keynote presentation at the Tools of Change for Publishing conference, I never really understood how to make my readers kick ass (as she puts it).



Fast forward nine months of in-depth research on Twitter and social media and things couldn't be clearer. Social media is not about me. It's about how much value I create for my followers, friends, and connections. Of course, social media is many things to many different people, but I think in the arena of content creation, it's all about your users; or as Kathy puts it: "It's about my audience's audience." Ok, I get it.

Seminar: Conversational Model for Social Networks

Ever wonder how to squeeze the most juice out of social networks? Long time friend of Dondequiera, Kevin Shockey, will offer a master-class on how to employ Mis Tribus' Conversational Model using Social Networks on Novemeber 28, 2011.

Participants of the seminar will receive a practical guide for using social networks. Many companies are encountering limited results with social networks, this seminar provides a simplified approach that:

• generates more likes and followers
• generates customer leads
• converts leads into customers
• reduces the time and money spent on advertising.

After years of research, Mis Tribus has made a breathtaking new discovery. Through a combination of tools and techniques, the Conversational Model produces more social engagement. In this seminar, participants will learn:

• why social media marketing is so challenging
• what are the 3 strategies that any social media marketing campaign must use
• what is the Conversational Model
• which freely available tools work together to produce the dramatic improvements of the Model
• how to implement the Model
• what 6 daily tasks power the benefits possible by the Model

Finally, as an added special bonus, each participant will get a free account to Fanz.ly. What is Fanz.ly? Fanz.ly is Mis Tribus' social media engagement platform. Based on the Conversational Model, Fanz.ly is an even simpler method to generate keyword (SEO) driven engagement on the Internet.
