You can design your YouTube channel yourself. In order to do that, you can Google “free YouTube designs”, and use the free resources on the Internet. Alternatively, you can outsource it all together.

Social Media

Social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and MySpace give a great head start, and get your name out there, if you use them the right way. With social media, your goal is to add value to those following you, and educate them, and not pitch them on your business opportunity or service at all. People do not like that, and those who do that.

Betternetworker is also a great website where you can socialize with other marketers, and build relationships.

You can set up a group on Facebook, and put valuable content on there. It takes some time for your group to catch on, and for people to get to know about it, and recommend it to others, but it is definitely worth it. You will be amazed at how rapidly your Facebook group becomes popular if you put value content on there, and serve your members in the best way you can.

There are some automation tools for your social media web sites that will save you a lot of time, but as you know, social media is all about relationships. So though it’s not possible to do everything manually, at least once the number of people on your list grows, but you can always give it a personal touch, and have a personal relationship with those that follow you, subscribe to you, or join you in any ways.

For your Twitter account, you can use Tweepi to follow and unfollow people. Also you can use Tweetdeck to manage your account, automate some tasks, and make things much easier. You can use Socialoomph to schedule you Twitter updates, and make your Tweeting pretty automatic.

Aweber

Aweber, as you know, is an email automation service and it helps your business in many ways. It is a paid service, but you definitely want to use it

Register yourself with Aweber, and it will cost you $20/month.

Once you do a video, blog post, etc., you should broadcast it to all your lists on Awerber- you do realize that you should broadcast only the kind of content that is relevant to your list- and let them know that you have created new content. Also you want to publish your content to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and all the other networks that you have.

Blogging

Then you can install a WordPress blogging platform on your shared hosting account from inside your website Control Panel in less than 10 minutes, and you are ready to go.

On your blog, you introduce yourself to your audience as a person, not as salesperson. Your blog is all about you as a person, and your goal is to brand yourself, and not your business opportunity on your blog.

Here is what you do on your blog:

Make at least two new post every week. Your posts should be short, to the point, informative, and well written. Remember that every post should talk to your reader about only one point and then sign off. About structuring the text, you need to break the text down to digestible chunks, paragraph, etc., so your readers want to read through your posts. You need to make every effort to make it as easy as possible for them to read your posts.

Put your affiliate links on your blog, so your visitors can sign up to different services through your links. This way, you will get paid if someone signs up through your links.

Along with your Aweber account, you will have an option to make web forms, and place them wherever you want. You want to go to your Aweber account, create a list, make a web form related to that list, and then place it on your blog. Your visitors can then subscribe to your blog through your form, and then be added to your broadcast list.

Articles
