I have to start by asking you guys if you enjoyed Paul’s post on Monday? Was that not awesome stuff or what! See what happens when you build relationships with other bloggers!
I visit his blog often cause he’s got great stuff, he’s so knowledgeable with what he shares, I usually still don’t understand a few things so I just ask him lots of questions. Thank goodness he has a lot of patience with me. We got to talking and he told me he would love to help me further and a guest post/video was born.
With the information I have learned from him recently I made myself a promise that I was going to step up my game this year and shoot more videos. This is another reason this post was born.
I’ve had several requests just within the last few weeks asking me how I set up my social media icons below my posts. The plug-in I am using is called “Socialize” but there are a few settings you have to do that some people have found a little confusing.

As promised, this year I will be introducing some guest bloggers who I have asked to contribute some of their own special talents over here at my place. For my first guest blog post of the year, I would like to introduce to you Mr. Paul Wolfe. You can read more about Paul after this awesome post but let’s not tie this up any longer…
Today’s video tutorial came about because Adrienne asked me if I could help her with something that she was having some problems with. And that something was this:
“How do I come up with ideas for videos?”
Now before we go and look at three ways that you cannot only come up with ideas for videos, but come up with limitless ideas, I just briefly want to talk for a moment about why it’s vitally important to come up with video ideas.
And not just topic ideas – but ideas that will resonate with your audience and more importantly, attract new members to your ideas. [click here for more...]

I know we’ve heard this saying so many times that content is king right! I’m definitely not here to dispute that fact, no sirree. What I will share with you though is that content is not the only king on the internet. Not by a long short.
Here is what I know.
Connect In The Comments
You can have an “epic” blog post (a definition I picked up from my friend Benny Hsu). Those are the posts people are excited about, they spend a lot of time on and will come back to even months later. That’s what we all aim for right!
But let’s say you have a few of these “epic” posts on your blog yet there aren’t a lot of comments. Why do you think that is? Does the blog owner respond to each and every comment or are they only picking and choosing which ones they want to answer?

in Facebook
So I threw you guys a teaser in my last post that I had something exciting I would be sharing with you on Monday. Well, Monday is here so you have probably figured out that this has something to do with Facebook Fan Pages. And you would be correct.
When I was doing affiliate marketing I created a Facebook Fan Page and quickly grew that to over 400 fans. I was very happy and excited with those results but with my announcement last April that I was venturing back into network marketing, I quit posting on my affiliate marketing blog around June. When that all came to a halt, the activity on my fan page soon dwindled.
This was my first experience with fan pages so I got a taste of what they are really about. The one thing I didn’t care for is that most fan pages just share their blog posts and that’s about it. Don’t get me wrong, they are for building your brand so sharing your content is the right thing to do but for most, it’s the only thing they do.
I wanted to be a little different which is why I put off creating a fan page for my brand, Adrienne Smith. I wanted to take the time to learn how to really get people interested in joining my page. So do you want to know what I did? I bought Amy Potterfield’s FBInfuence and dove in. Now before I go any further, yes that is my affiliate link… [click here for more...]

I know the year is young but I set some goals for myself and I’m following through with them. I’ve already hit the ground running and am so excited about what I have in store for myself and for you this year.
Remember in my first post when I shared with you the exciting things in store for 2012! One of the things I wanted to talk about more this year are the misconceptions a lot of people have within the network marketing industry.
Now I know that not all of you who read my blog are in network marketing but I truly believe that a lot of you will be able to relate to this first misconception just the same.
As you will notice, I shot a video to share this particular message with you because I decided to go back to the basics. Don’t worry, not all of my posts this year will be videos but I did promise to do more and I really felt that this particular message warranted you hearing it straight from me, almost in person.
