Personalized Service

Nick O’Neill will personally respond to your inquiries about your social media marketing strategies. Whether it’s through forum conversations or the live weekly “office hours” sessions, Nick will take the time to make sure you are on the path to success. This is not a “one size fits all” solution. Every business has a unique value proposition and different positions in the market.

Whether you are a small, medium, or large company, Nick will give you tips and advice along the way. Even if you decide to hire a full-time consultant or agency, our program insures any Facebook or social media marketing investment that your company makes is a smart one.

Your Success Is Our Success

The goal of this first program is to ensure that all participants walk away with successful social media marketing strategies. If you aren’t successful than it doesn’t reflect well on us. We will teach you how to use the most important social media tools and help you to develop sound strategies. You also get to provide input into how the course is created. We will be custom tailoring the Social Media Marketing program to the first group of participants.

What Social Media Marketing Is Not

Prior to explaining why you should build a social media presence, let me first explain to you what you won’t get from our course. Social media marketing will not solve all of your business problems. If you are selling a poor product or service, social media is not the place for you. I regularly have people ask me why their social media strategy hasn’t brought them more customers and after exploring their problems I finally realize that their product is not good. While social media can work wonders for great products and services, it will not work wonders for services and products that suck!

Social media marketing does not require countless hours of work. While blogging can take a decent amount of time, you can optimize your social media presence to minimize the amount of effort you need to put in. While you always get in what you put out, Facebook and Twitter have made it so that build a following doesn’t take much effort.

Facebook and social media will not give you more time in the day! I wish that I could say our course teaches you how to create 25 hours out of 24 alas I cannot. Unfortunately, everything that is worthwhile knowing takes time to learn. While we can’t create more time in the day, we can turn you into a social media expert in as little as 10 minutes a day.

Social media will not help you instantly become rich! While you can generate a lot of money and eventually become wealthy through building a profitable business with happy customers, Facebook and other social media channels will not make you instantly rich.

I have personally seen a number of programs that offer to make you rich by promoting on Facebook, Twitter, and elsewhere. While that is indeed possible, your success is dependent upon how much you are willing to put in.

As a small business owner, entrepreneur, or marketer, you know from experience that it’s not possible to build truly valuable businesses overnight. Building valuable customer relationships and new clients from Facebook (and other channels) takes time. With that said, I speak from experience when I say that Facebook and other social media tools (Twitter, blogs, etc) can be the most powerful tools for building lasting relationships with your customers.

If You Aren’t On Facebook And Twitter You’ll Hate Yourself Later

Now that you know more about who we are and what Facebook (and social media) cannot do for you, I figured it would be a good time to introduce to you the possibilities that social media marketing provides. Social media has fundamentally changed the way that humans communicate via the web and continues to influence the world every day. Facebook has been the primary example of this shift, recently surging past 250 million users. A whopping 50 percent of those users return to the site daily and your business has the opportunity to reach out to this extremely engaged audience.

If you’ve been reading the news lately then there is no doubt that you’ve heard tons about how Facebook and Twitter have become social networking phenomenons. What you haven’t heard are the stories of businesses that need to expand (despite a struggling economy) because their Facebook advertising campaigns have been so effective.

When Google launched AdWords in 2000, businesses were just beginning to figure out the opportunities that the system presented. Within a few years, businesses were springing up to take advantage of the huge marketing opportunity provided by Google’s “database of intentions”. Less than a decade later there are new opportunities for promoting your business.

There are numerous businesses that are profiting heavily from leveraging social media channels like Facebook but they aren’t touting that information because they want to keep it a secret! Let us share those secrets with you so that your business can begin profiting right away.

I have the pulse of the social web economy, and am giving you full access through this program. Join Now and hire me as your personal social media marketing coach.

For the Social Media Skeptic

Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms have become the new channels of communication. Facebook has over 250 million monthly active users, Twitter has around 50 million, and businesses around the world are just beginning to realize these sites’ ability to promote. Despite social media’s widespread appeal, many businesses continue to pour money into traditional advertising channels like the yellow pages because it has become second nature.

Are you among those individuals that are trying to figure out how to advertise and promote via Facebook, Twitter, and other social media channels more effectively? Can you relate to any of the following statements?

• You’ve been advertising through Google AdWords but your cost per lead keeps going up.
• Setting up a presence on Facebook has been on your to do list, but you haven’t had the time to get started.
• You have seen a reduction of business as a result of the economy and are struggling to figure out a way to generate new customers.
• Existing clients call you to ask about how they can use Facebook and other social media tools better or how to get started building an application but you don’t know the best answer to their questions.
• You’ve signed up for a Facebook account, have added some friends, but don’t know the next step.
• You’ve created a Facebook page for your business but you can’t generate new fans.
• You know about online advertising opportunities but are still spending money on the Yellow Pages and other traditional advertising channels.
• You’ve read a lot about social media marketing and have taken the time to learn more but you still can’t seem to generate new business.
• You’ve considered hiring a “Facebook expert” or “Social Media Expert” but know they could quickly become too costly.
• You’ve tested out Facebook advertising but you didn’t achieve the expected results.

If you’ve said yes to any of the questions above then I can totally understand why you’d be a skeptic! You should be able to set realistic goals and generate new business from creating an effective social media presence.
