Advertising Jedi or Misleading Sith Series, Intro.

In this series, "Advertising Jedi or Misleading Sith Series." I'm going to mainly use Facebook and Twitter for my marketing needs. These needs include online and offline sales and advertising. So what I have to do is create a following that targets both sale and advertising sectors.

  • Online, I am focused on global sales since online orders are mainly shipped.

  • Offline, I will be starting with a much smaller range such as county wide, then grow little by little.
 As a part of this introduction, here is a sneak peak. I am going to create a way to get a large amount of people to see what I want them to see. All while they are doing what they want to be doing. Also known as organic traffic. Now, yes I could use Facebook ads or Google Adsense. But where is the fun in that. Plus, that cost money. So, maybe later, but not now.

Now before I give it all away, I'm going to end this post. As I reach certain goals, I'll add them to this series as episodes.

Which Part of You, II. Audience Know How

Hey, ya I know, it's been a while.  But my imperfections, are your gains.  before you read to far i want to make sure you've read "Which Part Of You Does......". If you haven't, you really should before continuing here.

OK, if your ready, here we go! Once you have an audience to sell to. You will want to only sell items that are compatible with your page. You shouldn't ever shock your audiences comfort zones by presenting and off the topic sell-able item.  On top of that, do not just search and pick to present.  You can build an audience all you want. But, if you sell a bad product your finished.  This little fact is why I don't like third party ads. there is no guarantee on what might pop up.

With that said, you want to know as much about a product as you can before you present it to you audience.  Not only does this help your passion growth, but it helps your content and trust-worthy-ness. Between you and your audience. Do your research. Try it out, find reviews, Check better business bureau's, anti-spamming sites, etc..   The more info you can offer your audience on each item, the quicker it will sell.

But that's not all that will do for you. It will also grow your audience and enhance the word of mouth advertising. Trust is a major key factor in any form of advertising.  When people find that they just purchase exactly what you told them they would get, they will talk about it. Simply because and unfortunately, it doesn't happen very often.

Now you know a little more about selling your content.  Next, lets take that a push it over the top.  Let's really get your audience involved. You'll want to read these notes.

take a break, use the bathroom or whatever you need to do because you'll want to put your full attention on this list. And plenty of thought into it.

1: You will want to save some content to tease your audience with, using comment wall posting. Post content but not the punch line, get them guessing.

2: Ask them about pieces of content that you have found. Good, bad, thoughts ?  (Note: if you do this before presenting the product, use pieces of content that won't give away the product. "Like clues.")

3: Don't be afraid to challenge your audience.  Kinda of like reverse polarity, if a feed back is good, throw a question back that connects to a negative factor. And the reverse. If it's bad challenge it with something good.  Doing this makes people think. If you really believe in your product it will simply re-assure them that it's just that good. But, of course it can have a bad out come. In a way, that would be a good thing, maybe you need to re-evaluate that product. Or you will quickly provide a positive answer that nullifies the negative result.

4: You should always approach your audience in a humble manner. Confidence is important but so is humility. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. No one is perfect and you want your audience to see your mistakes. Not necessarily all of them but at least enough to remind them that you are only human and that your not better then they are, but the same as they are.

5: Give credit, where credit is due. There will be times when an audience member may make a suggestion that really makes sense. Set up a post for gratitude or do some special for the member. This can be inspiring to you and your audience. You never know, so never be afraid to accept help from members. Just keep it limited. You don't want them getting greedy, lol.

To sum it up, be interactive and get creative !

Which part of you does your content come from ?

All who have checked in over the past year, know that I haven't posted in a while. I think it's needless to say, that I'm not the best blogger, lol.


For over the past year I've been doing crash course, after crash course on web site designing and game coding. You see, setting up all these networks. Keeping them busy. Attracting and keeping audiences is more than a full time job. Not to mention the ever on going search for a better way to make money. 

Now, since it's been over a year since my last post, I am going to spill one of the biggest and may be one of the most important rules of making money online. I'm willing to bet, like my self, most of you that read this are not any good at just doing one thing all day, every day.  Me, myself am a serious multi-tasker's.  As I'm sure most of you have noticed, lol.  So here's the thing,  You've have to pick one social network that you enjoy.  And work just the one network on and off every day.  Every chance you get, because the more you are involved, the more your audience will pick up on that factor and become more involved as well. 

For instance, A call center for example.  Let's say your making a call to support of company, "A". Through out this call you find your self talking to computers. Pushing buttons, having to start over and even when you finally get a real person. The person sounds like a computer. 

Next, Let's try company, "B".  Lets say you once again call support. Now this company, has a real person pick up the phone, from the start of the conversation, through the end. Even if you need to be switched to a different call center.  They talk to you like a human and sometimes even find your self having a short off the wall conversation with them.

I don't know about you but, I'd take company, "B", any day, over company, "A". Not only is it more personal, but it's simpler and faster. You don't have to wait for options or figure out which option is closest to your needs.  So on and so forth. Basically, people love to interact with people more than with computers. But, interacting with computers is up there on the list as well. Which is what makes social networking so strong.  You get the best of both worlds in one dose. Which brings me to this point. Interact with your audience. Keep them involved and always coming back for more. 

Pay attention, this is the best key-phrase of this post, "Word of Mouth". From the days of old through today, this has been and will continue to be the biggest and best advertising ability you will ever use.  Because social networks make it easy. Everyone knows about content these days. But what is not said very much, is how to post it.  Any one can slap lucrative content on their pages, feeds, posts or pins.  But the search engines will see it as just that and so will people. It might be a good read, but is it worth sharing ? 

You see, those that have sent me or posted positive comments about my writing have all said similar positive things. Enjoyment and waiting for the next post or email. Personally, I don't get it. I just say what i have to say and that's it, lol.  But I have been putting thought into it and this is what I got.

1: When you type a post or email. Type it as if it's coming out of your mouth. They want to read you just as much as your content. This gives your info a special and personal touch, that can only come from you. You do have to be careful of political correctness, depending on you content of course. But, I'll be the first to admit I'm no where near perfect.

2: Try to respond with their names, when commenting or replying. This creates a sense of connection between 2 or more people and adds  a level of comfort with your site and/ or page.

3: As you present your content you want to do it in a way that is easy to remember, possibly even catchy and easy to understand. Basically, the more connected they feel to you or your page, the more likely they are to talk about you and your content.

4: Here is a real secret that I should charge for. But here it is free to you. Most people that post content are using it to advertise or make money, one way or the other. Most of the time that's how it reads. It may be interactive and fun. But, most are missing this one single ingredient. This ingredient is, "Personalized Passion". Top companies have workers that are very passionate about their jobs. And as you can tell it works well.  This ingredient is a major key in what makes building online incomes so difficult.  In order to get a foot-hold in your chosen area of online money making or networking, you will have to find a passion in your self, that you can personally, be passionate about with all the content your posting, commenting and/ or emailing.

I think this post is long enough. So to sum it all up, Get personal with your Audience and content. Not only is it good for you and them, but it's also good for your wallet.  Plus you'll find your self having more fun with it as well, which will keep you and your audience more engaged on the one network as well.

Take note that you should continue to post on your other networks as well. But, you'll want to try to direct them to your favorite network. Use teaser content posting and bragging about the activity at your favorite page.  Until next time, get passionate ! 

Ocger is definitely my Rome of Network's

 It's a real pain having enough knowledge to know what your doing, but not enough to be able to make it all work as it is typed. Guess you could say, "When it comes to PHP and MYSQL, my knowledge is in between a novice and expert. " I am so close to being at a professional level, it's irritating.

With Ocger, I have nearly written two thirds of the site. But there is one thing that keeps holding me back.  This would be the registration/ log in coding. No matter how close i get, a new error pops up. So I do believe it's time to set Ocger to the side for a few months and re-learn those specific area's of PHP and MYSQL.

Simply put, I've been at this for so long I'm in need of a break as is. But not to worry, I plan on finally officially launching Ocger in July 2016.  As the say, "Rome wasn't built in a day."
