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!

How Cindy Schulson Found Success with Coaching Cognition

Cindy Schulson

Coaches are working hard to get the message out there about how people can truly benefit from coaching services, despite the media’s clouding of the definition of a coach. Not unlike the struggles of a network marketer, or any entrepreneur for that matter, a coach is faced with certain challenges.

These challenges include dealing with popular social perspective on the coaching profession, deciding how to best leverage their resources to get the coaching message into the marketplace, and delivering value consistently and effectively without asking for anything in return.

Isn’t it interesting that the challenges are so similar to those a network marketer must face as well?

Cindy Schulson made this very realization while she was deciding what direction in which she wanted to take her coaching practice after finishing the Coaching Cognition program as one of our pilot coaches.

Cindy discovered that building a coaching practice is not unlike building a network marketing business, and that both entrepreneurs can use the same skills and techniques to attract clients and become successful. However, she also realized that coaches might have a hard time translating these skills from the network marketing world into the coaching profession. Cindy uncovered a need and is now offering a solution, beginning with niche coaching. She talks more about this in her INTERVIEW with Kendall Silva.

Cindy is now building her business through Coaching Cognition and has had a lot of success due to her incredible ability to stay connected within social networks and provide value to her potential clients.

By interacting with her potential clients online and offering so much free value, she has positioned herself as an expert in the field of niche coaching. Whether you are a beginning coach or network marketer who is trying to build your business, you are encouraged to check out what Cindy Schulson is doing, and follow suit. She is definitely on the road to success!

Cindy truly knows the meaning of providing value, and she does this through her informative posts and interactions. She even offers a free e-book called “Ten Steps to Finding & Attracting Your Ideal Niche” that is even more value-packed!

Not only is she a shining example of someone who enjoys what she does, but she also loves sharing what she learns with others. She does her homework by researching the topics that may help others, finding a way to relate the information to the needs of her community, and then telling them all about it!

Her passion shows through when you hear her talk about coaching, and she is an utter delight. After recording her INTERVIEW, I couldn’t help but have warm feelings toward her. She is a very genuine person who loves what she does, who she works with, and who she works for… her clients!!!

So check in with Cindy Schulson frequently, and you just might find some value that relates to your life or business. And if you would like to talk more with Cindy about your own business ventures, schedule a free 15-minute Introductory Session with her and find out if Cindy Schulson may be the right coach for YOU.

Hi Kendall/Cindy,

Thanks for the great interview and wonderful insight into Cindy Schulson and her,obviously growing popularity in our community and beyond.

Off course I have noticed Cindy,popping up all over the place giving great value for us to absorb and improve with.

A shining example for us to follow…and even call for a consultation!

I already look forward to your next piece of content Kendall;
Awesome.

Great interview Cindy and Kendall! I learned a lot just by listening to the interaction between you two. Thanks for providing specific and targeted value for us!

Comment by Lisa Trost — April 7, 2010 @ 8:15 am
So awesome Cindy, the parallel of building a business in any market that is new and often misunderstood can be challenging, yet exciting. We have the opportunity to educate the masses and offer so many alternatives for living and working in their passionate field. As the universe of people start to realize these opportunities there should no longer be unemployment.
I look forward to listening to youre interview.

Hey Cindy Schulson and everyone.

There is a saying like this,when you do your job which you like,you don’t have to work even one day in your life.Naturely, everyone like the profession which he is doing it well.

@Jan- thanks so much! You, too, are utilizing the social networks and I always look forward to what you have to say! Keep it up!

@Lisa- Very cool! Glad you got so much out of the interview, and thanks for posting to tell us about it. I had a lot of fun chatting with Cindy, and I think this showed through.

@Wendy- @Lea
So true! I am amazed by the stories I hear from people about how they got started, and sometimes it begins with the loss of a job or some other inability to work. Or perhaps they finally reached a point in their lives in which it was time to find out what else is out there.

They stumble across this information and run with it! Wouldn’t it be cool if more people learned about this, and it showed them that they have a choice in this world. Work a job they may not enjoy and wait for retirement, or look deep inside themselves and discover other alternatives that will bring them more value and fulfillment.

And you are right, @Wendy, if more people knew about the opportunities in reach, the unemployment rate would probably start to drop.

Also, as @Lea stated, less people would actually be “working”, because their income would be a product of their passion, not their labor.

Great stuff!
-Kendall Silva-

I am one of Cindy’s clients and I feel so thrilled to have her as my coach. As you can hear from this recording, Cindy is full of enthusiasm which is very infectious. Cindy helped me very quickly to find my niche and it is the first time in my life that I have got to have my very own purpose (apart from being a great Mum to my kids). If anyone is struggling to find their niche and you sincerely want to have vision and ocus, then please do get in contact with Cindy.

Comment by Helen Wenley — April 7, 2010 @ 10:47 pm
Many thanks to Kendall and Coaching Cognition for this opportunity, and to everyone who took the time to listen:)

@Helen – thank you so much for the kind words — you are amazing. I often feel like I should be paying my clients because I learn so much from them.

Regarding your niche, it is the cornerstone of your business. I was just talking with a client today and she said how amazed she is that once you find your niche, everything else just seems to fall into place. So true!

HI Mike! I shared this comment in your Fan Page Discussion but wanted to share it here too…

Funny, I teach about the “Big 4″ but the Fan Page is something that I have been contemplating with for months… Here’s my post:

“Hi Mike! This is sooo cool! THANK YOU for taking the initiative and leading the way to educate the community re the benefits of a Fan Page. I for one have contemplated the idea of a fan page for a few months now but here are the 2 biggest reasons I haven’t moved forward with creating one:

1) I can’t get over the idea of me inviting people to “Become My Fan”… why can’t it just be “Let’s Learn From Each Other” or something? I know it’s a rather shallow excuse but I guess my #2 reason is is really what has been stopping me and that is,

2) I already have to consciously limit my time for my social media mktg efforts, especially now that I am in product and course creation mode. I am already having a bit of a challenge making time to build and foster my relationships on my personal FB profile that to add another page – a Fan Page- where I really have to be consistently “present” and maintain makes me a bit nervous that one of them might suffer from lesser TLC…

One of my mentors ( soon to launch a book am co-authoring with her) Social Media Expert Mari Smith, is a huge advocate of Fan Pages and that’s what prompted me to seriously consider it.

I know sooner or later, I have to do it since I have so much I would like to teach and share as far as how to use technology and Relationship or Relational Marketing to grow ones business!

I am all eyes – and ears – to what you’re doing! I continue to learn immensely from you and I absolutely trust your direction and pioneering spirit!

In Gratitude,

Emma ”

Comment by Martin Leyon — March 1, 2010 @ 6:00 am
This is so right for me at this time. I’ve had doubts as to how social networking really added to the overall value one brings to the table in order to get leads. I have lots to learn in this area and I’m ready for the mind shift.

Comment by Marie Leonard — March 1, 2010 @ 7:47 am
Mike and Eric,

The Power 5 and Smart Beginner are excellent training opportunities that I’m excited about learning and activating to increase my education and create communication around my passion and niche.

Thank you for all you do for all of us! Wow you’re both awesome in giving value!!!!

Hi Mike,

Again, you have introduced great info and training. I am so glad to be part of this great community and the continuation to learn and absorb as much as possible.

Have a great day,

Cindy

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the info and I have now have my own gravatar This community is the best of the best…

Comment by Kristoperson — March 6, 2010 @ 10:29 pm
@ Ed, yah, Twitter needs a new background and will do some other things (showing each piece of it)

But mainly its my YouTube that must come alive next.

Then will show you how to make them all synergize.

It’s powerful stuff.

At Facebook right now what I want you to notice is how I focus everyone’s attention on the Discussion page allowing me to facilitate rather than have all the answers myself.

I direct people there to participate making it a condensed hot spot of activity.

That is just one of many things I’ll be showing in order to synergize the social media locations and be able to direct people to events, offers, new lead capture pages, etc that you wish to promote.

But doing it all as a servant with the first aim to assist and be a resource.

Comment by Mike Klingler — March 11, 2010 @ 3:58 pm
This is incredible value. Thank you Mike for making it available.

Comment by Khalid — March 12, 2010 @ 1:43 pm
Hi Mike, I was delighted to see the FB fan page you have set up. It looks fabulous. I will be going through it carefully, and listening to all the training. I can see the potential and want to turn it into real results.
