What I Told ABC News About Making Money

LIke the news thingie. You are going to get more requests for this. Lighting and back drop. Mostly get a neutral back drop.

Great points here Chris and, as you said, nothing new. This is what you've been saying for a while. I hope more people start listening.

I'm not exactly sure how to approach adding people to my list of people I'm following on Twitter. Should I be following people I find interesting or just anyone? For the time being I pretty much follow everyone who follows me.

Lately, I've followed some people who were clearly ONLY interested in pitching their products. Very disappointing.

My message back to them has been, what's social about what you just did?

I'm happy to make new friends and I'm open to following people I've never heard of, I just hope the idea of Twitter as a community catches on before I go insane.

Job gets one who knows better how to do it. When classic media ask bloggers how to make money it looks promising.

I can say this is one of my favourite posts.Day by day making money online is getting popularity.This is also because of the fact that there are a lot of websites that are active; this gives people the chance to work at home and earn a decent amount of money for themselves.

Relearning these lessons (especially number 4) over and over. It can be hard to think about promoting other people when you're worried about how your own business/movement/idea is doing … but unless you look outside yourself a little, you're not going to build a real tribe.

Being 'A LISTENING' and being crystal clear about asking …. YES, Chris, from my perpsective, these are the 'big two' to making money anywhere in life. People love to be heard (so listen), and if you are a fuzzy asker, money becomes an abstraction rather than a reality for you.

Okay, I can accept that variation. Ideas that would've gone nowhere, had she not formulated them into useful content. Can you agree with that?

The thing I love about “nothing new” is that people don't often execute on it. They know it. They feel it, but when it gets down to the implementation, there's truly nothing new, because there's nothing changed.

As for adding people, delete the folks who don't do it for you. Me too. Delete me if I'm not doing it for you. : ) That's how I look at it. It's truly opt in.

Chris, excellent tips. This is something that I always try to do, especially the listen, add value, and promote others. Look forward to meeting you in Lawrence!

I think you pretty much hit it dead on, Mr. Shoemoney :-) Just kidding. I think A LOT of people would learn by simply “more value than promotion” as that's what you tend to see a ton of, promotion. Less talking, less listening, BUY MY SH*T! tends to be a popular choice.

The Opera point would explain the free books under peoples seats in the audience. Loyalty sometimes has to paid back or acknowledged. The Grow Bigger Ears and Clear Ask are great points. The Clear Ask is useful fornot-for-profits. Seth Godin is complaining they cannot close, I think they just do not have a Clear Ask.

What is you want a plant a tree for something and then actual support on a rally. You find the Tree campaign has been replaced by wristbands and the message and the money can get lost. But this could apply to your volunteers too.

I feel Opera was an ambassodor to address the point Sanchez made. She would seem fanatical about Health and Well Being and Spirituality, she promotes the work of others actually this takes in Chris 4 point. Promote and Recognise others, her success comes from this and largely from being seen in her home town and in her community.

Your point about promoting others is huge. I have made some of my best online contacts from mentioning and praising people on my blog. They reach out and say “thanks” … and now we have a foundation for a discussion. Not all lead to real relationships, but many many do become real friends. You do this not only on occasion — BUT ALL THE TIME. It puzzles me that people do not pick up on that can copy. Imagine a world where all bloggers dedicated some amount (a third or a fourth?) to genuinely praising and promoting others. That would create a cascade of good will.

Yet I see too many bloggers who have NO blogroll, never promote someone's book (or other project), and never make appeals that do not involve buying products from other people. They are stuck in an old media mindset (companies didn't often pay for ads for OTHER companies, unless with co-promo funds). They make all their words about promoting themselves. But your point on promoting others should be required reading for everyone on the planet. (Is that asking too much?).

I always love what you have to say. : )

Good suggestions. Thank you very much Chris.
i will keep reading your articles

Happy to sharing so good atricle.Did you feel angry about the short time your laptop batteries,you can click here。you can solve this problem

Well the new innovations in the Internet gives us the opportunity to make money online.Social media marketing sites like Facebook and Twitter also allows to promote the business.

I'd like to explore the “being protective” aspect. That's an interesting way of looking at it. Has a huge impact on them too, knowing you've got their back (and your network too).

Great post, I do this daily with my sales job but have a hard time translating these techniques to the web. Hope to see more in the future.

As usual, some useful points here Chris.

Kudos on the coverage – well deserved my friend.

Chris

Listening is a big part here but we see where people listen with one ear. Sure they have their alerts set up and keep tabs on what is going on but really never seem to listen and hear. People around you are talking and being there to jump in is great but with what are you jumping in with? Is it with a sales pitch for graphic design when they are looking for a tv commercial? Maybe that is a bit too far off from each other but we can see the idea. Listening also involves hearing so you can personalize and gauge your response so that the response addresses the needs and is not a sales pitch.

Promote and recognize others- makes sense and is practiced well until it seems like people become done. There is a time when whether it be time restraints or maybe it is intentional where it looks like a shark meeting a school of fish. No-one is safe from the personal promo when we long enjoyed the content that they were sharing by promoting others. I do wonder when people stray and think or find more value in promoting themselves as they are almost destroying their community and not protecting it. Commenting here is hopefully adding value to the readers but is also letting people know I am here which is self promo. Now, when I share the article that is promoting the article but also me as I appear here. When you look at it this way, you can see where there is more of a balance and then start thinking of more ways to promote others with the understanding in doing so, you will always appear.

Oprah is protective of her community as she built it and will not share anything that will destroy it. That is good business and has kept her on the air for all these years and will take her into her new show. If we are not willing to protect once we build they why should anyone ever even become a part of our community?
