Social Network Movie Review

A Look at The Social Network Movie from the Mindset of An Entrepreneur

To all of those social network fans out there, the movie, The Social Network, (aka #SocialNetwork for the Tweeples) about facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s rise to billionaire status, has been the buzz for several weeks now.  On opening day, my facebook news feed was filled with post after post from people buzzing about the movie.  OK, I get it.  Facebook is a complete social phenomenon and a ton of people, entrepreneur’s included, use the massive social networking site to develop relationships with new “friends” from around the globe.

As an entrepreneur, I actually practice and teach social media marketing principles, so I admit I was a little bit interested to see how this movie was going to play out and what entrepreneurial elements I may be able to take away from it.

In this review of The Social Network, I want to share a few focus points that entrepreneur’s can take away from the film and apply to their own business for growth and success.

Be Laser Focused

The movie version of Zuckerberg was intense and laser focused.  When he “wired in” working on the facebook code he was completely oblivious to the things going on around him.  Headphones on, focus targeted to the project at hand.  At several points in the movie, it was very apparent that regardless of where he was or what he was doing, his thoughts were focused on the project at hand.

The movie portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of facebook, is said to be fictional by in large and Zuckerberg  is reported to have told Oprah, that he is actually much more hard working than the movie version of him.  If that is true, then I am impressed because the movie version of Zuckerberg was intensely and almost obsessively focused on his work.

Take Fast Action

There is one scene in the movie where Zuckerberg’s character was speaking with a friend about the relationship status of one of the students when the idea hit him to add relationship status’ to the facebook profile specs.  Zuckerberg, stopped mid-sentence, with a look of epiphany plastered across his face, gathered his belongings and raced to his dorm room where he furiously enters the code to add relationship status.  This reminds me of the importance of taking fast action on not only your ideas as an entrepreneur, but on implementing the new information you learn.

Know How to Recognize the Right Timing

As the popularity of “the facebook” (as it was called in the beginning), grows, the movie demonstrates that Zuckerberg’s friend and business associate Eduardo Saverin began to press him to monetize the site.  Zuckerberg was not comfortable with that and wanted to wait for it to spread more and gain popularity.

He wasn’t willing to compromise the “coolness” of the facebook in order to make a quick buck.  Zuckerberg recognized, it was far more important to wait for the right time, grow the audience, and fan base before monetizing.  This turned out to lead to facebook being a multi-billion dollar corporation rather than a multi-million dollar corporation.

Millions are good, but billions are better. 

I see a lot of on-line entrepreneurs make the same mistake, they come out of the gate eager (or desperate…haven’t really decided which it is yet) to make money fast on-line.  What many fail to realize is that before you can generate a business partner or a customer, you must first have earned their trust and respect.  People are generally skeptical about on-line opportunities because of the massive amount of “scams” out there.  So building the relationship with others should definitely come first.  Sometimes waiting for the right time to “pitch your opportunity” to someone can make the difference between a “yes” and a “no”.  You must carefully monitor and understand timing.

Keep Your Priorities In Line

This lesson from the movie comes, not from what the fictional Zuckerberg did correctly, but what he did wrong.  Now I can’t speak to the character or the personality of the real Zuckerberg because I have never met him, nor have I done much research on him.  He could totally be a super nice guy in “real life”.  Only he and those closest to him know that.  All I know is I’m glad he invented facebook. 

The fictional Zuckerberg, however, was a complete sell out when it came to relationships and well….frankly, he screwed over just about everybody who crossed his path.   The movie portrays him as a guy with no “real friends” left at the end of the day.  (that’s not a spoiler either).  So, this leads me to my last and final take away from the movie – keep your priorities in line.

Your friends, your family, your relationships with those who love and care about you should always, always, always, take precedence over your ambitions.

You can have billions upon billions of dollars but if you don’t have the peace, joy, and satisfaction that comes from doing the right thing and keeping relationships first, then it’s all in vain.

So keep it real my friends.

Go see the movie and ask yourself what elements you can take away to help you be successful in your business. Your comments, retweets and facebook (yes I said facebook ….) shares are always appreciated.  Oh…and on those “re-tweets” please use the hashtag code #SocialNetwork (that’s be extra awesome of you!)  Thanks!

The Gulf Oil Spill

A Child’s View…With Nora

The Gulf Oil Spill, Deepwater Horizon, has finally reached the Florida coastline.  Being a native Floridian, living near the coast this environmental crisis hits very close to home.  The President of the United States, Barak Obama, visited Florida last week to see the impact this disaster is having on our our coast, and afterwards addressed the nation from the oval office.  Once again, our region has been thrust into the international spot light as a result of this tragic event.

Kids seem to have an innocent and candid expression of how this crisis is filtering through their thoughts.  This week, my seven year old niece was visiting and began expressing her thoughts (unsolicited) about the oil spill.  As she talked I realized the impact this is having on the world as she understands it.  I asked her if she would be willing for me to video tape her sharing her thoughts with me.

She was very eager to do so because she “…wanted to try to help save the animals.”

She also knows I blog, and use videos on my site to speak to my readers and friends.  So, she asked me if I would show her video to my friends so that maybe they could get their kids to help too.

So, please take a moment and watch this video to see what Nora has to say about the Gulf Oil Spill from A Child’s View.

There you go folks!  The impact of the Gulf Oil Spill through the eyes of a seven year old. I think we have ourselves a future blogger and philanthropic entrepreneur on our hands here!  (She takes after me, of course…) 

Since Nora gave her call to action to all kids in the nation to join her in donating to help the oil spill clean up efforts, I thought it only fitting that I provide a resource here for you to check out.  So, I’m sharing a link from Network for Good which provides a variety of organizations that you can donate to in order to help with the clean up efforts.

As a result of her love for animals, Nora’s primary concern was for the sea life and birds impacted by the tragedy, therefore she chose to donate to an organization assisting the animals threatened by the oil spill.(…and of course the beaches at St. George) 

CLICK HERE TO VISIT NETWORK FOR GOOD AND GIVE

If you or your child would like to join her, visit Network for Good and find an organization that coincides with your primary concern and give to help minimize the damage as much as possible.

Wishing Success For the Clean Up Efforts!

Talk Fusion Breaks The Mold And Takes Video Marketing To The Next Level!

If you have been following me or my marketing strategies for any amount of time, you know how much I absolutely LOVE video marketing.  I truly believe it is the absolute best way to connect with your audience, develop relationships with your readers, your prospects, and potential business partners.

Why is that?

Well, it’s been known for years…and you’ve heard it said, “A picture is worth a thousand words”.  Imagine how magnified that concept becomes when the picture, is not static, but moving, talking, smiling and interacting with the person viewing it.

Well, that’s what Talk Fusion has done for email and video marketing.  In fact,  check out the image in the top corner of this post.  That is an actual screen capture of a real video email I sent out to a business partner just last week.  Imagine my partner’s surprise when they opened the email and saw a video of me talking with them rather than a dull text message (remember the 80’s?…LOL).

I have been completely blown away by the value offered through this service.  When one of my Empowered Tribe partners contacted me to share this amazing resource, I was interested, but like most busy entrepreneurs thought my plate might just be too full (so full in fact, it looks like a platter instead of a plate…LOL).  But less than three minutes into checking this thing out, I was back with my partner, asking – where do I sign?!?!

Seriously, unbelievable.

What Is Talk Fusion?

Talk Fusion is the next social media giant!! This platform enables you to engage in relationship marketing at it’s absolute best.  I truly believe every single internet marketer and network marketer on the planet needs this!!  The product alone is a complete “no-brainer” for marketers, businesses, and even individuals who just want to step up their emails to friends and family.

Offering, video emails, video autoresponders, video blogging, video sharing, and video conferencing – Talk Fusion is on the cutting edge of social media and network marketing. In my opinion, it is the ultimate bridge between network marketing and internet marketing.  And, it’s so stinking easy to use that my second grade nieces can use it.  (They love videos as much as I do).

The product alone was enough to sale me on Talk Fusion, but when I found out it was also a network marketing opportunity I was “all in”.

Now, before you completely tune me out…let me say that I have never promoted a network marketing product or company on my blog, although I am a network marketer, with a solid and stable primary opportunity already in place.  You can look around my site and you will not find that primary opportunity promoted at all…anywhere.

But I feel so strongly that this one is so important to network and internet marketers everywhere, that I honestly felt like I would be doing a disservice to our industry to not share it with you.  Seriously. So, for that reason, I am going to be in your face with this one.  Not because I’m a pesky, aggressive, network marketer…but because I genuinely care about your success and the success of your business.

If you have any interest at all in building your business (whatever that business may be) or personal brand (whatever that brand may be) on-line, then, friends – YOU NEED TALK FUSION!!

Enjoying The Next Level of Video Marketing

As most experienced internet marketers know, there are a multitude of marketing techniques that can be leveraged to drive traffic to your website and generate leads to your on-line business.  While I do use a variety of techniques in my business, I admit video marketing is one of my favorites.

Let’s face it.  We are a media driven society.  And, in a media driven society, video stands out.  For the first several months of using video marketing in my business, I used the same software a large majority of my colleagues use and recommend, Windows Move Maker (WMM).  This is actually a great FREE software application that comes standard with most PCs today and for the price (free) puts out a pretty decent quality video.  In fact all of my video posts prior to this one were created on WMM.

Recently, however, while trying to step up the quality of the video production for a very special project I was working on for a friend, I decided to give Camtasia a try.  And boy am I glad I did!!!

Since, video editing concepts are similar regardless of the software you are using, I didn’t anticipate a huge learning curve, but I was surprised at exactly how easy it was.  After a quick five minute tour around the navigational buttons I was off to a great start.  I found Camtasia very user friendly and the quality was way better than what I’ve ever gotten from WMM.  For the most part, I found the transition from Windows Movie Maker to Camtasia to be relatively seamless.

And…since I’ve gotten my feet wet with Camtasia, I have to say I will find it hard to go back to WMM, although I’m sure I will pay WMM a visit every now and again when I need a quick edit or two.

For now though, I will have to say goodbye Windows Movie Maker…hello Camtasia!!!

So…here it is…my FIRST Camtasia project.  The friend I completed the project for was very happy with the outcome, as was I.

Check it out…

How to Make Sure the Foundation Your Blog is Built On Is Not Shaky Ground.

Last year, when I first started exploring the wonderful world of self-hosted WordPress blogging, I contacted my host Go-Daddy to ask some questions and get started. Their wonderful technical support agents directed me on how to install the WordPress application in my GoDaddy back office, set up my database and all of the other “behind the scenes” technical mumbo jumbo that goes along with blogging.

There was, however, ONE VERY CRITICAL piece of information, GoDaddy failed to point out to me and that is WordPress is incompatible with a Windows Platform. So, for the past 6 months (2 months of pre-launch development, and then subsequent launch and maintenance) I have earned a “frequent flyer” designation with GoDaddy technical support.

Still with multiple calls and several hours of going back and forth with technical reps and administrator support (that’s who you get to talk to when the technical reps can’t figure out what’s going on) I was experiencing problems that my other blogging friends never had to deal with.

What?!!??

Seriously, I was starting to think GoDaddy was messing with me. Even my friends were starting to make comments – like “Why does GoDaddy hate you so much?” or “What is the deal with you and GoDaddy?” Realizing of course, GoDaddy couldn’t possibly “hate” me, because well….I’m so darned adorable, that just couldn’t be it.

It wasn’t until recently when I was in the process of transitioning my radio show website to a self-hosted WordPress format and these same problems started to surface again that my blog designer convinced me that I needed to figure out what was causing all the blog drama. So, I decided to Just Ask Kim,  my techie guru friend and blog syndication partner.  After a short conversation Kim revealed the nasty little secret GoDaddy kept from me – WordPress runs much better on a Linux platform!!!

Ahhh!!!! Are you kidding me Kim?  Nope!!!  She was right on spot.  So last week, Kim Castleberry and I spent some “quality time together” working on getting all this straightened out.  We backed up my blog and database (everyone should do this on a regular basis by the way….learn how HERE) and we deleted everything, changed platforms and reloaded it all again….working into the weeeee-hours of the morning!

I am extremely happy to report, that I am writing this post from my newly transferred blog, on my new Linux platform. 

I’m all smiles.  Many of the headaches I have experienced in my blog lifetime are no longer a problem.  Now, I admit initially I was mad with GoDaddy, but after I calmed down, and forced my mind to embrace the proper perspective I was able to let all that go.

See, I learned many valuable lessons from all this blog drama.  I gained a lot of technical and troubleshooting expertise from my many conversations with GoDaddy’s technical and administrator support  as well as from the conversations this week with my personal techie, at Just Ask Kim.  And now, I can pass that knowledge along to you my friends and loyal readers, as well as  my social media coaching clients.

I don’t think GoDaddy did this to me on purpose, I think it was a simple oversight with a lot of unintended consequences.  GoDaddy does have great (and very patient) customer support.  My only recommendation to them is to make sure all their technical staff know to tell WordPress application users that they need a Linux Platform rather than Windows if they want to use syndication friendly plug-ins, and avoid problems down the road.

While WordPress will still work on a Windows platform, there are a lot of issues with plugins that will require work-arounds, time, and research to resolve.  And if you have any hair left after you’ve resolved them all, you will likely decide to do what I did…and take the plunge for the transition.  My blog was down for a whole week to get this complete.  But I am glad to say now that it is over, it is done and it’s time to move on.

Lesson learned and now maybe I can save someone else from making the same mistake and spare them the drama!!

WordPress + Linux = Peaceful Bliss

&

WordPress + Windows = Blog Drama!

Now, please help me spread the word to spare other bloggers the drama…re-tweet, bookmark, and share this post.

Much appreciated!

Peggy McColl is launching her brand new book, Viral Explosions – Proven Techniques to Expand, Explode, or Ignite Your Business or Brand On-Line, on Tuesday, April 13, 2010.

I have had the privilege of being one of Peggy’s students for the past several months, and I have learned things that will revolutionize my on-line marketing tactics.  Peggy is a high energy author who has used internet marketing techniques that have taken her books to Best Seller status in 24 hours or less.  This week, I get to watch her do it again with her new release, Viral Explosions.

In Viral Explosions, Peggy shares her secrets for internet marketing success and takes the reader step-by-step through her proven formula for results.

The super cool thing about buying one of Peggy’s books on her campaign day (Tuesday for this book) is that she gives an INSANE amount of FREE bonus gifts. It’s one of the most amazing demonstrations of “Go-Giver” action that I’ve ever seen.  The book is well worth the $14.95 you pay on Amazon anyway…but on top of all of that, you get a TON, and I do mean a TON of FREE bonus items.  Peggy has really OVER-DELIVERED on this…as is typical of her.

In order to get these freebies, you HAVE to buy the book on Tuesday!

Because I offered up a free bonus for Peggy to use in her campaign, I have been able to get a sneak peak at the Bonus Page for this book, and all I can say is I was COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY at how much valuable information is being GIVEN away just for buying her book. Wow!  I will DEFINITELY be sitting at my computer midnight Monday so I can grab my copy of Viral Explosions and all those FREE bonus gifts.

If you are serious about marketing on-line, you NEED this book!!!  Go HERE right now to find out more…(and to see all the crazy awesome freebies you can get your hands on).

To Your Viral Success,

PS.  In case you are wondering what my FREE bonus gift was for Peggy’s campaign…I am giving away a webinar and “over-the-shoulder” demonstration of Tribe Syndication Tactics.  You can only get access to this webinar by buying Peggy’s book.  But there’s one little catch….You HAVE to buy on Tuesday. So set yourself a reminder in your calendar and whatever you do, don’t miss picking up your copy at Amazon on Tuesday.  Again….go HERE to learn more.

How to stay active in all your social media outlets and still be productive in your business.

It seems one of the most challenging things for any entrepreneur or busy professional is the task of effectively and efficiently managing the social media platforms while still getting “real business” done.   Honestly, social media is a HUGE key in building your business and is one of the primary places “real business” occurs, but that’s another blog post for another day! 

Today, I want to focus on your social media platforms and time management.

There is so much you can do with social media to help you grow your business or get your message out, but if not managed correctly, it can be a time eating monster!!  Social media is fun, engaging, and an awesome way to build relationships, so it’s easy to spend way too many hours on  Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, You Tube, or any of the other popular social media outlets.

Recently, a friend asked me how I manage to stay connected and active with all my social media accounts on a consistent and continual basis while still getting important things done.   I shared my secret with him, and today I am going to share it with you.  Are you ready?

It’s HOOTSUITE!!!!  And…you can see it in action in my video below…

Well, there you have it.  Hootsuite is my secret tool for staying active in social media all day long without even being in front of my computer.  A few hours on the weekend to set up and schedule my tweets, facebook status updates, facebook  business page updates (aka: “fan page”), and even my linked in updates and I’m rolling in activity and driving traffic all week long!

Now I still spend some “live time” on these sites periodically throughout the week, in the evenings and on weekends when I have some spare time.  This is when I usually have my responses, and do some re-tweets, etc.  I have another amazing tool (TweetDeck) that I use for those “live social media actions”…again, that’s another post, for another day. 

So, what do you do to manage your time on social media?

Drop down below and let me and the community here, know your tips, secrets, and tricks to being active AND productive with social media.

Finding and keeping great Tweeps, and Tweeples, while dumping the Twitter Twits…

Alas, I have discovered another FREE Twitter Tool to help you manage your twitter following!

Twitter is an incredibly powerful social media tool that can help you build relationships with new people, network with prospects or potential business partners, and grow your business on-line, all while increasing your sphere of influence.

Once you have established your twitter presence, it is important that you begin to find great people to follow and that you begin tweeting valuable content to attract followers to you.  In doing so, most twitter users (aka: “tweeples”) will choose to “follow you” back.   There are many, however, that for various reasons will choose to not return the favor or who are only out there to blast you with their affiliate links and spew spam everywhere (aka: “Twitter Twits”).

In these cases, you as the manager and CEO of your twitter world, will have to decide whether you want to continue following  or opt to “unfollow” them.

So what do you do with these tweeple?

How do you find out who they are?

How do you decide who to keep and who to dump?

I answer these and other questions in my video below.  Check it out!!!

Now, I realize, there are software tools out there can help you do this automatically, but I prefer to do it manually as long as it remains manageable time wise (and it does if you do it every few days).  The automated options will review your twitter account and automatically “unfollow” those who are not following you back…including those who may be leaders in your industry or niche that you WANT to continue following.  While faster, this just doesn’t give you the opportunity to review the profile and make an informed decision before choosing to “unfollow” a person.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that. Please drop down below and leave me some comments and let me know what you think…

Do you have some great Twitter stories to share?

How about some tips or tricks you’ve discovered to help you manage your following?

Have you found some successful techniques for building your business through twitter?

Tribe Tuesdays? Tribe Vibe? Syndication Power Hours? Social Media Rock Stars? (or as I like to say “RockStarZ”)

If all the buzz and activity around all of this tribe talk from power bloggers and social media RockStarZ has you wondering what all the fuss is about, sit back – relax, and take a minute to read on. I’m here to share with you the scoop on the newest trend to hit the social media networks, and help you “be in the know” on what’s happening in these “syndication power hours” and what “tribe Tuesday” (or #tribetuesday for all you Tweeps out there) is all about. By the time we are finished here today, you will have answers to some of the frequently asked questions (FAQs) surrounding Social Media Tribes. I believe you will want to jump in, catch the wave and ride the Tribe Vibe by the time we are finished here. In fact, I’m sure of it.

What is A Tribe?

A tribe is a community of people with common interests and common goals. They are united with a common thread and commitment to share resources with other members of the community.
In social media, the tribe concept has taken flight and is catching on quick, thanks to a group of mastermind bloggers and marketers who have taken the concept and developed a community around it. In my opinion, the tribe concept promises to be one of the biggest things to hit the on-line social scene in a long…long…long time.

What is “Tribe Tuesday” (or #tribetuesday) and Syndication Power Hour?

Tribe Tuesday (#tribetuesday) is the designated day for tribe members in my community to work together syndicating each other’s content.  We have rotating teams, that connect with each other for one hour every Tuesday night on Skype.  This “designated hour” is known as the “syndication power hour” and we use that time to talk, chat, and get to know each other, while simultaneously visiting each others blogs and  syndicating the content on them.  Doing this while we are on Skype together allows us to offer feedback to our tribe members on the user friendliness of their blog and to share tips and suggestions for improvement.  It’s teamwork at it’s best!  Having a designated day creates a lot of accountability in our community and if a member is not able to attend the designated time, it is expected that he/she will “make up” that time at their convenience.

What does a Social Media Tribe do?

The tribe consists of a community of individuals who have entered into a “gentleman’s agreement” to syndicate each other’s content on the internet. They read blog posts from members of the tribe, they comment on them, they “re-tweet”, bookmark, and share the content of designated tribe members with their community of followers.  This content is shared on multiple social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, as well as multiple bookmarking sites.   In return, the other members of the tribe do the same for them.

What’s the Benefit?

OK, I know most people will want to tune in and listen to the “jamz” on W.I.I.F.M. here (What’s In It For Me). My answer is TONS!!!

First, by giving back to the community and sharing with your followers the value rich content of your tribe members, you are placing them in contact with information which will help them.  And really – isn’t that why we are out here blogging anyway…to share information and help people!!!

Second, what you give will be given back to you, it’s the Law of Reciprocity and it works!!!  (see Luke 6:38) There is no way around it.  Call it “karma”, call it “good fortune”, call it “generosity”, call it “seed time and harvest”, what-ever you want to call it – fine with me.  The bottom line is this – it is an eternal truth that has been in existence since the beginning of time, and it works whether you want it to or not!   What you give, will be returned to you. In the tribe culture, You promote their stuff, they promote yours.  Win/Win.  I like win/win outcomes!  Don’t you? 

Third, it provides an opportunity for massive exposure and increased traffic to your site.  Think about it, if you have 1,500 followers and you promote your own content, then the most you can get is 1,500 plus whoever those folks might want to share your stuff with.  BUT!!!  If you have 5 tribe members who all have followers, you not only get your 1,500, but you get their numbers too.

An example of what your exposure could end up looking like follows:

Your Followers = 1,500

Tribe Member #1 Followers = 5,000

Tribe Member #2 Followers = 7,000

Tribe Member # 3 Followers = 10,000

Tribe Member #4 Followers = 800

Tribe Member #5 Followers = 25,000

TOTAL EXPOSURE VALUE = 49,300 potential viewers / site visits!!!

Granted, this is only an example, but  when you do the math, the ROI (Return On Investment) of syndicating your tribe members content is HUGE!!!  Looking at the options -  1,500 or 49,300 (for this example) - who wouldn’t want to have an increase in exposure and traffic at that rate??

There are MANY MORE benefits, but I will save those for another day, and stop with these essential three for now.  That being said, only one question remains?

How can you get involved with a Tribe?

There are options.

1.  You could contact those people in your market that you already have relationships with and talk to them about it, and create your own tribe group to syndicate with.

2.  You could search social networks and find other people with like vision and begin building relationships with them and start working with them to syndicate.

3.  You could connect with me and some of my tribe mates and work with us on our rotating teams for Tribe Tuesday (#tribetuesday) and Syndication Power Hour.  I have had the honor of connecting with some of the leaders in social media marketing today, and they are rockin’ the tribe vibe.  (You can check them out below).

Whichever path you choose to take, just make sure you are maximizing it by making sure you and your team have a full understanding of what the tribe time is all about .

If you want to learn more, I am available for one on one coaching or group webinars, contact me here.

So, what do you say?  You ready to Catch the Tribe Vibe?

Yours in Success,

RESTRICT ACCESS TO YOUR VIDEOS

When I was getting ready to launch my FREE 7 day video series on Unleashing Success to subscribers of my newsletter, I set out on a search to figure out how I could “hide” the videos on my blog page without going through the hassle of uploading them to my host server through FTP software.

In doing so, I found that uploading to public video sharing sites like YouTube, Viddler, Tangle, etc presented its own set of challenges.  I didn’t want folks who were visiting my channel on these sites to “stumble upon” my subscription based videos and be able to view them without subscribing or opting in; and I didn’t want to limit the number of people who I could share the “private” videos with.

So…off I went to find the answer!!!  And, wouldn’t you know it…my search led me to discovering an “easy as pie” solution available through Viddler called “Secret URL”s.

I was so excited about this cool find that I had to share it right away!!

So, I put together this step by step video tutorial to show you exactly how it is done.

This is WAY COOL….check it out!

Is that completely awesome or what?
