The problem: You want to gain a reputation for authority among your customer base.
Why this matters: More authority ==> more sales.
The solution: Go *outside* of Facebook and *into* the niche social networks online.
With today’s overAbundance of social media updates and sheer information overload, its getting tougher and tougher to rise above the noise noise noise so your future customers can pay attention to you.
And of course, there is Facebook, and LinkedIn, and Twitter, and did you know about?
You’ll find social networks listed there that deal with:
- Gaming
- Film
- Knitting
- Art
- Mobile
Ever think about instead of trying to be Arty the Smarty (yes, I’m revealing a bit of my childhood here; that ’twas the very first book I ever read) and be a little fish in a big pond, see the smaller more niched social networks where you can emerge as the dominant leader.
But here’s another thought for you.
Do you realize that “just plain forums” are social networks as well?
Hmmmm?
Make no mistake about this – there are *huge* niche-based community forums where you can grow your reputation just peachy.
For example, are you in the lose weight niche?
Consider:
What about the legal niche?
Or the parenting niche?
It’s very easy to find targeted niche forums as well: simply search on
niche forum
ie
Remember, you’re not limited simply by what everyone else is doing to build your own authority.
You can always choose to lead the thundering herd.
Grow strong,
