12 - Freemium Is The Way To Go When You Have No Funds (BONUS Ep 12)

Keith talks to Laura Waage about using offline touches to grow his online business and increase his global presence. 

Laura: Keith, I find it kind of interesting that a lot of people who have migrated into online businesses have kind of forgot that an online business should still actually have offline touches.

 

So share one thing that you actually do offline to be able to grow your online business.

 

Keith: OK. So I’ve looked at in recent times that I’ve only got a very small following relatively in Melbourne, but those Melbournians – what I call Magic Melbournians. That’s my Monday… I usually do on a Monday Magic Melbourne or Melbourne Monday as my hashtag. I have coffee with them. I mean what a concept in the 21st century people still having coffee.

 

So I make an effort. I’ve got this amazing café 10 minutes walk from my house, and it’s like an open… It’s like an open invitation for anyone that’s in the area if they ever want to catch up that I actually make sure that of all the people that I connect with in Melbourne, I’m open for coffee at my, you know, favorite café, but as I said, most of my following is not here.

 

So what I did was I found this really cool provider. I don’t know if you have it in the US. It’s called Lebara: ( www.Lebara.com )and I can call anywhere in the world for $0.05 a minute virtually. So if ever I’m connecting with someone – And this happens a lot – If I’m ever connecting with someone that might be in France or they might be in Portugal, and I’ll say let’s have a chat. They’d go, “How are you going to do that?” I said, “I’ve got this cheap plan that doesn’t cost me very much money,” and it gives me this sense that hey, we’re having a chat. You know that I’m a real person. You get to hear my cookie voice.

 

And you know, I’ll tell you. Well I’ve created miracles doing that. You know, I ring Trinidad on a whim because someone said, “Look mate, you know, can we ever chat about this year?” “No worries. I’ve got my phone right here on my desk. I think it’s $0.15 a minute to call Trinidad, but it’s worth it. I probably only pick up the phone up once a month and I’ve always got it there just because people want a real-world connection, and I can’t have coffee with them because they don’t live in my town, but I’m always available for Skype and real-world calls. And I’ll tell you what. It does create miracles. Have you found this to be the case yourself?

 

Laura: Yeah, absolutely because people have really started to hide behind social media to where you can be a voice of sorts. You can create post whether you’re on Facebook or Pinterest or Twitter, whatever the case may be, but you’re not actually a person and you’re not humanizing what you do, and you’re not really interacting with people.

 

So it’s this strange place that people have found themselves in and the ones that are making a difference that are really seeing success are the ones that have been able to humanize themselves in a digital world, and that’s exactly what you’re doing.

 

Keith: Yeah. Look, I’ve been a bit challenged by it because of the lack of numbers here in Melbourne, in Australia in general. So for a very long time, I could have been accused of hiding out, but I decided to just take it the next step, and I’m always available for Skype calls just to be able to say hello because I tell you what. It makes a huge difference.

 

Laura: Yes, it absolutely does, and oftentimes, so as relationships that you forge where it’s beyond just the re-tweet or commenting back and forth through social media, when you make those relationships more personal, that’s when all of a sudden you can start leading the things where you find somebody that you’re going to do a business project with, somebody that’s going to potentially promote on your behalf or you’re going to promote them. There’s so many amazing things that can come out of it, not to mention the fact that you’ve got another friend in another part of the world.

 

Keith: Yeah. It’s very much part of my, you know, global brand. I’m the global dude.

 

Laura: And you’re doing it well.

Using Twitter 4 Global Networking

How to Make Twitter Work For Your Business. 

Part 1 of an interview with Paperli With Liz Wilson in Switzerland.


"HOW TO" Make Twitter Work For Your Business

CRACK THE TWITTER CODE & “GO GLOBAL”  Part 2 of the interview with Paperli With Liz Wilson in Switzerland. 

(1) Sharing Is Better Than Chocolate 


In the social media space and in Twitter in particular, you really need to get your head around this idea of sharing first and being a resource for others. This is very, very important if you want to gain the trust of your tribe, your followers. So you really need to understand that social media, that Twitter in particular, is about sharing. Sharing first then building trust then moving it forward.

(2) The 80-20 Rule


It’s not all about you. In part 1, we talked about the importance of sharing and now I’d like to share with you a bit of a formula for that, the 80-20 rule. So if you tweet five times a day or once a day, five days a week, I’d like you to explore the idea of tweeting four out of five times for your tribe, for others and only one time out of five about you. No one really cares what you’re doing today and no one wants to get your spamming messages all the time. So remember, the 80-20 rule. It’s not all about you.

(3) Connecting With People That You Don’t YET Know


This is a very, very important paradigm to get because if you think that Twitter and Facebook and these types of things are for meeting people that you know already that you went to school with 20 years ago, then don’t use it for business, use it for fun. I teach you to tweet for business. If you want to get traction in the Twitter-verse, I really want you to open up to the idea that there are seven billion beings in the world and 500 million of them are on Twitter. So social media is for meeting people that you don’t yet know.

(4) Be Authentic – Find Your Niche


This is especially important in Twitter. In Twitter, you can use power words, we call them hash tags to magnify, to magnetize, to gravitate towards your followers. People will gravitate towards certain keywords and the best way to start really honing in on those words is to focus. Focus on your target market, be authentic to who you are, and really speak to the people that you want to follow you. Be authentic and find your niche.

(5) Automation Tools Can Save You Time


Now, this is a very contentious issue, but I do believe the most beneficial part of using Twitter. You can schedule your tweets ahead of time. Now, that might sound counterintuitive and if it does, just remember that if you don’t do this, you are doomed to tweet in real time as long as you use Twitter. Now if you can cope with that, that’s fine, that’s beautiful, and that’s probably preferable, but it’s not possible in a busy life.

So there are several really great scheduling tools that allow you to schedule your tweets throughout the day so that you can go and work and pick up the kids and cook the meal and do all the things that we do as human beings. You can use your tweets to maximize your reach and maximize your potential.
