You're not just pushing your content saying oh read my stuff or view my stuff is hey guys I found this useful article that I used before I hope you like it they open it up They go, thanks Amir and then basically once they read it They see a soft sell of yours if you really enjoyed this article check out this other one over there So that's number one sniffly. Okay guys number two Let me write this out number two your tribe and Basically, what you're gonna be using over here is a software called Buzz sumo. It's my absolute favorite. I love them so much. Let me put it here Let me just write it up every single business needs to be using buzz sumo.com. I can't live without this program I think it's in my top three softwares that I use right here So I'm gonna be explaining to you how you're gonna be using buzz sumo in the strategy of reaching out to your tribe So how buzz sumo works is finds the most popular articles shared on social media For example, Facebook Twitter Pinterest all the above. However, what it also finds out is What other people have shared in the past and that's really really important So basically what I do with buzz sumo is let's talk about this video again. We're promoting this content promotion video. I Go to buzz sumo and I type in content promotion on the screen So let me put this up again so you can see so we go to buzz sumo and I'm gonna write in content promotion buzz sumo and Pretty much what buzz sumo is gonna go is gonna find out all the top articles that people have shared on buzz sumo But this is what you want to do You want to find the top three articles being shared around the net about for example content promotion There's a key feature in buzz sumo where you can click view shares and this is some real ninja stuff over here When you click view shares, it shows all the people on Twitter to share this exact same article And what you want to do is you want to find out their email if you can't get their email Find out or just get their Twitter account, but preferably you want to find out their email There's many different softwares out there. For example one a really good one is reportive R.A.P.P.O.R.T.I.B. E.com. It's a chrome gmail plug-in you plug it in and you guess the email if you're right It shows you all the social profiles of the individual So you get that email of all the people that shared your stuff and you can outsource this to VA 95% of my stuff is VA. There's a lot of SOPs that I share with my other clients that I have So basically once you find out the list of everybody that shared the same article What you want to do is now like I said get their email addresses and contact it So this is what you want to say Hey, Mike, just I'm assuming the guy's name is Mike Hey, Mike, my name is Amir and I just saw you share this article last week about Seven tips or content promotion. Well, I just released his brand new video that expands on that I thought that your trial might like it. Would you like me to send you the link? Have a great day looking forward to your reply This is really important over here that I want to talk. There's something really important to me here I want to talk about I said Would you like me to send the link now here is the link would you like me to so it's permission-based marketing? You're pretty much emailing every single person that shared a similar article as your article and telling them I've created this new guide I've expanded on from the old guide and I thought that your tribe your audience might get some value from this Would you like me to send you the link? Permission permission permission as opposed to here's my article share my stuff Here's my article share my stuff Nobody wants to share your stuff. Nobody cares about you. You have to be providing value towards people and You have to be always and repeat always asking for permission So if the person says yes, you send him the article and you thank them and you want to do this for like 20 30 40 50 60 70 people But you got to think about the compound effect imagine now out of 70 people You're or 50 people your conversion rate is in 510 percent and you get like 5 to 10 people sharing it and out of those 5 to 10 People maybe each one has an audience of 10,000 to 100,000 you see the compound effect over here It's hard work, but this is the work. This is the necessary work to start promoting your content So that's number two using bus sumo to find other people who have shared similar articles Such as your article finding out their emails and then emailing them and asking their permission Would they like to see your articles? That's number two. So number three one of my favorites Okay Alert alert Google alerts. It is so underutilized. I can't stress enough How many people don't use Google alerts and it's so easy if you're not using it You're gonna use it. I'm gonna teach exactly what I do. It's one simple step There's many different things you can do with it. However, this is what I like, okay? So basically what you want to do is you want to go to Google alerts and let me put this up over here in the search Quora you want to type in site To semi-colon's Cora comm and your keyword for example in this video. We're talking about content promotion So my keyword it my keyword is content promotion if you don't know what Cora is Cora if it's probably the biggest Asking questions and getting answers form online high-level people on their CEOs venture capitalists Funds entrepreneurs marketers you name it like it has every single expert You can possibly think about right there in Cora Asking questions and answering questions and what you want to do is any single time somebody asks a question or answers The questions about your key worthy looking for in this case content promotion You want to jump in and you want to answer that question and leave a small Kind of organically want to tie in your article to the answer that you provide to send people back to your site This is a real small thing that you can do on the side that you're not gonna see Exponential results right away. However, there's two things that's gonna happen over here a You're gonna start building credibility as an expert by answering all these questions and be over time all these links Slowly start increasing traffic back to your site and it's a whole compound effect You know building traffic is an overnight thing. It happens bit by bit by bit So go to Google alerts type in sites and I call in Cora comm Slut Cora comm and then your keywords. So let me put that right here and right you guys can see that Cool. Yo number four Blog commenting so that's number four this one. There is two different camps Some people say no and some people say yes Listen anytime anybody tells you any absolutes about saying yes or no, they're wrong There's many different shades of gray. There are many different colors. There's many different answers within an answer The problem with blog commenting what most people do is this they'll just spam the blog like oh, hey, I like your thing Here's my article. Oh cool post. Here's my article. It doesn't work that way What you need to do is create a conversation. So for example, someone has a blog I'll give you example way here The best way to actually tie in your article towards that blog is always asking questions So basically if you see it, you know, everybody reads blogs every day And there's common sections on 99% of the blogs out there What you want to do is like for example, let's say you want to leave a blog on my side like hey Amir great article in this section over here. You mentioned xyz I was wondering about is this applicable to this because over here So then that's where you can tie in your article over here in this article I wrote something similar, but I'm not too sure if it's correct, you know, if you got a split second I love your opinion and feedback on this What just happened over there a you're asking questions and opening up a line You're opening up dialogue. You're opening up an area of trust as opposed to like a great article. Here's my article Asking questions, I would say is one of the most underutilized methods when it comes to building Relationships because the more we know each other the more trust we have with each other What's the same no like and trust exactly? So that's what you want to do. You want to find all the blogs out there Do you read let's say your goal is five comments a day you want to provide value on that blog comment You want to ask questions and you want to slowly within that question tie your article back in there number five This one I won't spend too much time on because This can become a whole course as a million articles on this it's crazy, but I Facebook ads So instead of going into this crazy convoluted way of doing Facebook ads, I'm gonna keep it really simple for you I mean like extremely extremely extremely simple Instead of focusing on power editor and all these crazy different things We want to do baby steps and I've spent thousands. I want to say spent I've wasted Thousands and thousands of dollars on Facebook ads because you know what I was trying to ask strategy this strategy I was running around not having a game plan and jumping Too big right away, you know spending hundreds of dollars on ads as opposed to spending a dollar two dollars three dollars So one of the most simplistic ways that you can actually start promoting your blog is believe it or not boosted posts Okay, so that's that small button that you have over there So let me just pull up over here if you can see that'll be like a boosted post over here And within boosted posts you can actually have edit audience right now and in that edit audience You want to keep it really relevant? So for example in this video about content promotion I would have all these different targeting I would target for example people who read growth hackers comm inbound or got growth hacker TV Anybody that reads anything from Moz anybody reads anything from Neil Patel Anybody that reads anything from all these different marketers and all these different startups around the world and target them that way And I would only have it about five dollars a day You can even start as low as one dollar a day if you want to check out an individual who's amazing job on Facebook I had especially for the one dollar a day campaign Dennis you the guy's phenomenal Let me put his website right here boom check him out study his stuff I highly recommend him so that's that for when it comes to Facebook ads Keep us simple and once you start scaling that way and actually start creating campaigns Then I highly recommend that you outsource Facebook ads because you as an entrepreneur building your online business Trust me you don't have the time nor the patience to be sitting on your computer screen looking at all these different metrics and campaigns and Headlines and copy and images hire the best and you'll get the best results. Okay, number six moving along Weekly round ups In fact, I'll say this is six and seven combined because there's two different methods using though the same strategy So let's say well, we'll talk about weekly round ups first weekly round ups and this one's pretty simple However, there's a lot of tedious work when it comes to this, but the results are amazing. I can't stress enough About doing the strategy. So pretty much this is what you want to do you want to go to your friendly neighborhood Google and You want to type in your keyword?
