Here’s a quick bullet pointed list of everything I covered in this video!

(5:10“It is time to rethink everything!” – Mari Smith

(5:52“Internet marketing is numbers based. Social Media Marketing is heart based. You have to merge the two!” – Mari Smith

(6:02It’s super important to have the data and the analytics but with social media you can’t just be numbers based

(6:39“If you do something with a template today, a machine will do it without you tomorrow.” – Christopher Penn

(7:40You have to know exactly who you are so you can weave that into templates that have worked in the past.. You can’t just use a template, tweak it

(8:13“Alogorithms are a nightmare for marketers – There is one thing that cracks the code when it comes to Facebook specifically.. that is Facebook Live” – Michael Stelzner

(9:44Make sure you are using Facebook Live specifically

(10:12“There is a window when new social media platforms come on the scene for you to jump in and become an expert – the Facebook Live window is still open” – Chalene Johnson

(10:52“When a new social media platform comes out (e.g. Facebook Live) a lot of people who have previously been experts in another platform switch to that new platform, that actually opens up space to become an expert in an older platform (e.g. Twitter)” – Michael Stelzner

(12:05This is really great for people who want to be speakers because you can really jump in on one of these windows and master one of these platforms

(12:26If you want to book speaking gigs or you want to be known as an authority in your space, an amazing way is to master one of these new tools even if you’re not necessarily a “Social Media Marketer”

(30:10The other tool that is on the rise and was all the rage at Social Media Marketing World is Facebook Messenger

FACEBOOK MESSENGER TIPS AND STATS

  • It’s important to get your audience from Facebook off of Facebook and onto your email list, mailing list, etc.

IT’S ALL ABOUT PROVIDING VALUE!

(Ahem… have you heard me say that before ; )  )

(27:58If you’re providing value and using Facebook Live, it’s a way to “trick” the algorithm.

(28:06Facebook Live is really working to be the front-runner everywhere in live video

(29:02It’s all about having a real connection, providing mega value, then using these ‘ninja tricks’ to get it to do the automated follow up for you so you can really connect with people

(29:41There are already live streaming in stream “click to purchase” options happening e.g. www.fb.com/FoundLive

(32:59This is reality! Market in the world we are living in and be in the forefront of it.

(35:19YOU MUST EXPAND BEYOND JUST SOCIAL MEDIA

(35:32“Social Media is not just an impression builder, it is a part of the process” – Molly (@Mollstarr)

(35:40We can’t just rely on social media, we have to have other things in place (e.g. awesome websites, email marketing, going to events, picking up the phone)

(37:13The more value you can provide, the more that you can celebrate your biz and your clients via Facebook Live, the more connections you will make that will transfer into real life

(37:39“Lukewarm content will never engage with anyone. Don’t be lukewarm content creators.” – Brian Clark

(38:07Find your ‘Quesadilla of Awesome’

(39:40Check out the ‘Switcher Go’ free app and the Switcher Studios Pro App

(41:02“When you shine light on others, the light shines on you” – Sue B. Zimmerman

When you shine your light on other people, the light shines back on you 🙂
