TribeologyBlog.com – Episode 722 – Habits Start by Starting!

Quote:  “We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” ~ John Dryde

Wednesday: Midweek Motivation

 

Today is your habit forming chance to make a difference. I’ve learned that habits make all the difference in my ability to “level up”.

This blog is a great example, I’d love for you to get motivation from — not just the words on the is page, but the daily post habit! I started out to see if I could do one month – one solid month of writing every day…

That happened.

Then I tried for three months… again,smashed that!

I decided (notice the word decided) – I decided to do one solid year… now I’ve past two solid years of daily posts.

The habit has transformed me… I can in a quick turn around write an article.  And I love that!

My most recent habit — I started “stretching”.  This seems like an “easy” habit — not so much, it HURTS.  But the silly thing is, after about the 3rd day in a row, I notice my back felt better.  I’m not at 100% on the “every day” habit, but, I’m getting closer AND more bendy.

Today – is the first day of your new habit… what will it be?  More water, saving your change, paying cash, meditating, stretching… writing a blog?

Just start

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode 721 – One Year of Special Content

Quote: “It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.” Scott Belsky

Tuesday: Content and Consistency

 

How can you serve your customer?  How can you lead your tribe? Two different ways to say the same thing.

Often I’ll write on Tuesdays with the message that you need to create content your tribe wants and needs… and I leave you to figure it out.

Most people jump on the post bandwagon and that’s great! It’s always useful to have posts to keep in touch.

But you can provide more!

The good news is I’m not going to leave you at that… haha

If you look at each of my posts, depending on the day I have a Free Download — it’a a PDF that has useful information related to the daily topic.

So how can you use this type of idea?

Start to develop information that can be downloaded and used later.  This could be recipes, fact sheets, or print outs. Something I’d like to do is create a “boating invitation” which our pontoon rental customers would receive that they could email to their friends.  That would be totally useful (I think I should probably make time to do it!)

OK…

So what can you do?

Think about how you can use these in your business for your tribe..

Create a downloadable report that compares new or old products… make a check list of what to do or bring, make a calendar or planning pages, Lesson plans, a video training series, template, a challenge, spread sheet/calculator, round-up on a topic, beautiful photo to frame, resource list (like area restaurants), wallpaper for your phone… and on and on!

That’s 12 new ideas for greater impact downloads and tribe bonding giveaways!  That gives you one idea for each month for an entire year!

Can you think of how to use each idea at your small business?  YES!  Take that idea and run… spoil your tribe.

Till tomorrow… I’m off to make my invitations!

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode 718 – Tell Your Story

Quote: “Good content isn’t about good storytelling. It’s about telling a true story well.” Ann Handley

Saturday: Try This!

Yesterday I said you need to get personal… and that was by really sharing you.

Well… here’s one way you can do this.  This photo is a menu of a restaurant.  It was hanging out side and the neat thing is the paragraph. on the far right.

It’s a simple paragraph but it has a big impact on building a bond with the people deciding if they should eat at this restaurant.

It’s the restaurant owners’s story!

I’ve often said you need to share your story… and sometimes it’s hard to figure out how to do this.

Do you put it on your website?  YES.

You can also find many other places to include it — the normal places are where people stop and read!  OR stop and watch.

Where ever someone has time to wait, they have time to consume things that personalize your story.

How will you use today’s tip?  Start by writing it.  Like the example of the menu… you only need one paragraph.

One paragraph is your start.  Just get it written.

Next place it on your website.

When you have it on your website – then find somewhere to put it in the “real world” – whether it’s your brochure, menu, or bathroom area.

Try This!

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode 715 – How to Recognize When It’s Time To Take A Break.

Quote: “Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes…
Including You.”

Wednesday: Midweek Motivation

 

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.  But if it is broke?  You stop right…

What about when your computer has that little blue froot loop circle spinning round and round and round…

You unplug it.

This is a good analogy for YOU.  When you feel like the blue spinning circle you’ve got to stop and unplug.

Trust me.

Everyone needs to unplug.  The easiest way to recognize the need to unplug is when you are trying so hard to get something done, or to accomplish a task that you simply cannot do it.

It’s not easy, it’s not fun, and you’re really frustrated…that’s when you unplug.

Today I want you to recognize a moment when you need to get up and walk it off.  Go outside, take a little stroll.  OR at least get up and change your view.

Going back to what ever task you were working on will be more successful after you “unplug” – and you know it will be great — but often we’re really bad at recognizing when.. so that’s your task…

Recognize when.

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode 714 – When Marketing Doesn’t Feel Like Marketing

Quote: “The best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing.”

Tuesday: Content and Consistency

 

If you don’t like sales… if you don’t like going up to someone and saying “buy this” – how about a new approach.  This is what is fun about the Infinity Marketing Machine.

Making the decision to build a tribe and then finding products to offer them turns your efforts from “one and done” into “infinity”.

The “one and done” effort is your traditional sales.  This is when you ask someone to buy something… and by “ask” I mean, you have something for sale, whether your ask is by actually talking or it’s simply the process of writing text… it’s still a transaction based relationship.  It’s “one and done”

This is how “infinity” is much different.

When you transform to collecting and maintaining a list of people that you bond ou all of a sudden become the leader that shares knowledge and offers products you know your tribe wll want.

This is marketing and it’s marketing that doesn’t feel like marketing.  It feels more like relationship marketing. You develop the relationship with the intention of “infinity” and you keep going.

This is best done by offering content that is appreciated by your tribe and you do this on a regular basis.

Today I have sent out my newsletter to my Pontoon Girls – and I’ve created this blog for my Tribeologists.  I’m offering you content that is useful without it actually feeling like a post… it’s giving you information that is useful, helps you bond with me, and teaches you how to utilize the skill to your advantage with your tribe…

Pretty cool, eh?

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode 713 – Start Sharing Your Expertise

Quote: “Having the expertise and putting it to use are two different things.”

Monday: Subject Matter Expert

 

I read today’s quote and came up with two different thoughts… the reasons you don’t put your expertise to use are…  1) analysis paralysis and 2) not sharing your gifts.

Both are bad alternatives…

So let’s start at the beginning with tribe building.

When you make the decision to build a tribe instead of attracting customers you transform your business from “one and done” to Infinity.

Why?

Because the tribe wants to stay with you.  They do not want to leave.  Therefore, you find things they want to buy and offer it to them.  The way you do this is through email.  It may seem overwhelming and that’s when you get stuck.  But, guess what…

This concept is easy and honestly, it takes effort, but it is not hard.

However… it does take time and a willingness to care.

You must care about what people want to learn, see, consume, and receive from you.  because this is the content you will share.  As the leader of your tribe, the more they view you as the expert, the better they will receive the information you send.

Therefore, you need to be willing to share your expertise.  Whether it’s a blog, vlog, podcast – just do something to share your knowledge.  Keeping the information to yourself is “safe” but sharing with someone else grows YOU.

Now…. back to the quote.

“Having the expertise and putting it to use are two different things.”

You are reading my blog because you’re looking for a better way to market to your customers… well, you have the expertise to own a business, so why not share it with your customers and convert them into a tribe?  Therefore, put your information to use and start sharing!
