Social media marketing, when done correctly and consistently, WILL bring you customers, clients, business partners, and of course, money.  See these examples I found from people in our community who are using the power of giving value through leaving great comments to position themselves for great success.   When you look at these, ask yourself if you are using these skills in your own comments and how you can bring more value to your community.   Doing this will help you attract clients and grow your business.

Mike Wilson/ Lisa Trost – Here are two examples in a row of comments that follow the formula of value perfectly.  They both took the underlying message of my article, that one thing leads to another, and verbalized it.   This is the value that they found in the article, and were able to bring it to light so that if someone new reads their comment, they will get even more out of the entire message.

Notice how they:

…communicate relevance by relating their comments directly to the article.

…show themselves by giving an example of how one thing has led to the next step in their own businesses.

…give value by sharing information and inspiring action.  Lisa tells about the businesses she has aligned herself with, and then how coaching has helped her, and even promotes Mike Wilson by calling him a ‘super coach’.  Mike Wilson encourages people to be active in many areas so that they, too, can experience the chain of events for themselves.

…ask for nothing in return.  Neither of them asked for anything that would directly benefit themselves.  Instead, they offered value for the sake of value.

These types of comments cause people to want to know more about them and see what other knowledge they may have to offer.  Great job Mike and Lisa!!!

Cindy Murphy –I have noticed Cindy’s valuable comments for a while now, and each time she posts, I find myself clicking on her name and visiting her fan page.  If you have a chance to go to Cindy’s Fan Page, http://www.facebook.com/bloominfanpage , you will find a LOT of consistent value, including Cool Tools, her new free series of posts on her fan page that introduce various tools that can be helpful for networking/promoting/etc.   Those who visit her page are already thanking her and letting her know that they learn a lot through these kinds of posts.

Cindy has daily and monthly themes, such as May Makeover Projects, Wednesday Wishes, etc.  She spends a lot of her time not only promoting herself and the tools she has discovered, but also other promoting others who have something valuable to offer.  This is a truly selfless and giving page, but I never would have seen it if she wasn’t out there giving value to the community every day.  Thank you for your strong online presence, Cindy!

Billy Alley – In my last article that featured comments from our community, I showed an example of someone who left a comment that was directly asking for help.  Billy wanted to know the difference between an intention and a goal.  Mike Klingler gave him an answer, and here you can see Billy’s reply to that.

Do you see how grateful he is for all of this knowledge and value?  He is seeking it out.  Billy is not the only one out there who is this excited and driven to learn more.  Find Billy, find his posts (I have seen him mostly on Mike Klinger’s Fan Page), and talk to him. Cindy Murphy has also made some contact with Billy.  I saw an exchange between the two of them on her fan page as well.  Billy is someone who will truly appreciate your connection, get value from your information, and use it to take action.

What kind of value can YOU offer?  Come to the Coaching Cognition Facebook Page and use this as a place for you to begin to give and find value!
