As a matter of fact, I've sold millions of dollars of both digital and physical products. And I have my own branded products on thousands of websites, including Walmart. So on this channel, all I do is teach you how to do the things that work. I've been through the mistakes and I've figured out a few things that work and I share those with you on this channel so you can start running, grow your online business. Now, no matter what stage you're at with your online business, maybe you're beginning, maybe you've been in business for a while, maybe you're booming out there, you wanna keep growing your audience. Your audience is so very important because the bigger that audience is, the better the chances that you can sell more products if you have more people, more eyes on your product. And using social media and of course, paid advertising can help you do that. Now, I'm gonna give you some tips on how to grow your social media audience and we're starting with number one. And what's number one? Number one is have a strong social media profile, okay? When people actually come to your particular area, whether it's Twitter, whether it's Facebook, whether it's YouTube, make sure they know what your profile is and what you're all about so they can understand what they're gonna receive from interacting with your social media. Number two, this goes without saying, but I gotta say it, share quality content, okay? Too many times I'll see somebody's social media profile and then I go and look at what they're sharing and I'm like, well, that's not what you said you were gonna do. People say they're gonna help me out, I don't know, lose weight or eat better, get healthier and then you see them posting about where they went for the day. They went and got gasoline and then they weren't feeling well and they had a headache and none of that makes sense to me, okay? So all of these things about your life unless they relate to what your profile is and what they expect to receive are a total waste of time, okay? So don't post things that don't relate to what you told them you were gonna provide in your profile. Number three, use friend finding features. Now, you gotta be careful on this one but what you wanna do is normally you can invite your friends to like your page or to subscribe or something along those lines but you don't wanna do this with everybody, okay? So on my particular page, I help people start running, grow online businesses. I have a really good friend who's 86 years old and he's a retired attorney and I really like him, he's a nice guy. He's not somebody I would want to subscribe to my page. He's not somebody I want to like my stuff because if I ever go after an audience that likes my page, he would not fit in that demographics. He's already retired, he doesn't wanna start running, growing online business and he would not be somebody good to like my page. And I see this happen so much on Facebook. People will invite people to like their pages or to subscribe and they're their friends or they're their family but they don't match the audience that they're trying to build and that's just a big no-no. Now, if they do, if they do fit by all means, go ahead, you know, invite them to like your page, invite them to comment and all those good things but if they don't match what you're trying to do, don't get an ego and say, well, look how many likes I got, look how many subscribers I've got when they don't even match what your brand is. Number four, add links to all your social accounts. Now, for example, if you have a Facebook page, you may want to have links in there to your website. You may want to have a link in there to download some freebie. You may want to have a link in there to watch videos. If you're on YouTube, you have a banner up there. Maybe you want a link that goes back to your website. Maybe you want a link for people to subscribe. Make sure you use all these links and you have these on all your social medias because, you know, if you think about it, somebody goes to win your social media accounts and they like your profile and they like your content, they like everything about it and there's nothing to click on, there's nothing for them to do. So they have to have something to take it a step further. You know, I like what you've got, I like what you said, you know, I like what you're gonna provide. Now, what can I do next? What can I get from you next? That's super important to have that on all your social medias. Number five, add links to all your emails, okay? So if you send out emails on a regular basis, make sure at the bottom of that email in the signature, they can get a link to your Twitter account, your YouTube account, your Facebook account so that when they're getting these emails, if they want more information outside of what's in that email that can actually click through, it'll help you build your audience and your following. Number six is cross promote all your social media accounts. So if you've already got a really big following on Facebook, you go into Facebook and you tell them, hey, I've got this YouTube channel, there's a bunch of videos there and you can get a lot of training on the subject that you're interested on. If you've got a big following on YouTube, okay? You may wanna say, hey, I've got this Twitter account here and I tweet three times a week and I have some really interesting stuff. You may wanna click here and start following me on Twitter. So make sure that all these different accounts interact and you're using them properly. Number seven is follow your target Twitter audiences. Now, Twitter will allow you to follow up to 5,000 people. Now, you can increase this number once people start following you. Now, once you follow somebody, they get a notification that they have new followers and when they get that notification, oftentimes they will follow you back so it helps you build your bank of followers on Twitter. Now, you can also use the Twitter search feature. You can look for a particular subject that you're involved in. If you're in fitness, type in fitness and anybody who's tagged themselves as fitness people will pop up and you can find people to follow there and in many cases, they'll follow you back too. Number eight, use your Facebook page to like other Facebook pages. Now, here's how this works. At the top of your Facebook page, you can do a little drop down and you can show how you're interacting. Now, you're probably interacting as yourself right now but you can interact as your page. If you interact as your page and you search other like pages and you like their page, they're gonna see that you have a page that is similar to theirs. Whereas if you just liked it as an individual, they have no reason to go to your profile. They can't like your profile. They can only become friends with you. So those two distinctions are really important. Number nine, open up your Facebook page to other followers. You can allow people to actually follow your personal page by checking this option on Facebook. If you have people following you, liking you, that type of thing is gonna build your overall brand. Number 10, participate in Facebook groups. Facebook groups are awesome and they're generally set up around a particular niche or cause or interest something along those lines. So what you wanna do is you wanna go to some of these pages and I've done this myself. Go to a page that is helping people in e-commerce or it's helping people in Facebook ads and I'll actually interact in there. I'll actually answer questions in there and I'll say if you have more questions, feel free to send me a message or whatever. And I've gotten a lot of people join my actual Facebook groups and pages from doing those interactions. So you gotta participate. Now don't spam these groups. Don't go in there and click in there. Click here to join my group. That's not something you wanna do. You wanna actually go in and help answer questions and that type of thing. And then the people who actually interact with you, you can certainly private message them and let them know that you also have a similar group. Number 11, use hashtags on Twitter. Now this is really, really a cool thing and having a hashtag in there works like this. If somebody is searching for that particular hashtag, your post can come up in their feed. So that's really important. Figure out what type of hashtag is popular. You can actually go into Twitter and start to type and it will populate some of the more popular hashtags just like Google populates the more popular searches. Use those hashtags in your post and people will be able to find your post and you'll get more followers. Number 12, use comments in LinkedIn. Now what do you do in LinkedIn? Well there's all kinds of profiles in there. There's all kinds of businesses. There's all kinds of things going on. And if you interact with these different profiles in LinkedIn, people will see you and they may click through to your profile. In doing so, you're gonna build your following and build your audience. Okay, so you've got a plan now. You know what to do. And the one thing I'm gonna tell you that's super, super important. Here, lean in a little bit. Let me tell you this. You've always gotta build your audience. You got to. Yeah, you don't get to a stage where you say I've got enough followers. I've got enough customers. I've got enough subscribers. This is an everyday thing and here's why. Because they go away. People may love you today and they may get sick of you tomorrow and unsubscribe, you know? And they may quit following you or they may keep following you but don't listen to anything you have to say. So it's really important to understand that you're not gonna keep everybody on your following list, your subscriber list, you know, your email list forever. It's just not gonna happen. People are gonna go away. And since they do go away, and depending on the rate of them going away, you know, you gotta work this even harder. But since they do go away, you gotta replace them and put enough in there to build up again. So that's why that's super important. And while I'm thinking about that, you need to subscribe, right? Right down there, there's a big subscribe button. You've got it, click subscribe. And if you click subscribe, the next thing you gotta do, ring the bell. You gotta ring the bell. The bell is the notification bell. That's the thing that lets you know when I do new videos. And you'll become one of my VIP members, the Fisher family VIP members by clicking turn on all notifications. Now, which one of these steps do you think is gonna be useful to you?
