Tribe Domination Is About to Close! Don’t Miss Out!

Dawn Cook — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:59:45 +0000

We want to help YOU and we really can do that if you’ll let us. We have gone through what you are going through now and we’ve made it through by learning from those who had already achieved what we wanted to achieve. And we did that so many times that we are now more than ready to share what we’ve learned with YOU through Tribe Domination!

If you’ve been part of the Tribe Syndication Association (TSA), you already know that we like to help others and share what we have learned. Luckily for all of us, Dave likes to EXPAND what he’s learned before he shares it so he can help even more people. As you probably heard already, we were taught to create a tribe of five people for syndication. Are there only five people in TSA? Absolutely NOT! There are many multiples of five people and it’s growing daily! A tribe of over 130 people is amazingly more beneficial to all than a tribe of five. We are all enjoying the fruits of Dave’s ambitions for TSA and he doesn’t quit thinking about ways to provide more value to YOU through TSA!

Now as Dave will often say, it’s the members of the TSA family that make it the great opportunity that it is and it’s the TSA family that deserves all the credit! I agree wholeheartedly with that statement, but I know though that something has to be created before anything else can happen, right? So I am grateful to Dave for his ability and willingness to think outside of the box! As a matter of fact, last night he was mentioning something else that he’s thinking about implementing to get all of you even more exposure! I know you all appreciate Dave like I do from all the fabulous comments you continually send our way. On behalf of Dave and myself, Thank YOU!

Now back to the subject of this post!

TSA Launches A FREE Social Media Webinar

Dave Cook — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 02:34:58 +0000

Whether you are in Tribe Syndication Association (TSA) or not, you are not going to want to miss this free webinar. You may be asking yourself, “What the heck is TSA?” Well, let me tell you, my friends. TSA, as we call it, is one of the FASTEST growing social media tribes on the net PERIOD.

Back in early January of this year, I started thinking about the social media tribe concept. Social Media Tribes are where people come together in one place and help each other by promoting each others content around the internet. Most tribes at this time were using systems like Skype or similar tools and were meeting once a week to “blast their content” out across the airwaves during an hour. To me, this concept wasn’t powerful enough because the same people were the only ones commenting … Plus, what if some people in your tribe couldn’t make it to that Skype call and what if and what if and the list goes on. Now I’m not saying that it didn’t provide value. It did. But, was is really that powerful?

Now imagine a system to where there’s an organized system, where you can access it anytime and syndicate on your schedule, where there’s a rotation of over 100+ people to maximize getting hits from different IP Addresses, where people are syndicating over 25,000+ of material per week, where people in this tribe are leaving over 1,000+ blog comments per week!!!

Now that’s POWER!
Now that’s Tribe Syndication Association (TSA)!
Best of all, we do it for you and it’s All FREE!!!

In TSA, you get the benefit of getting your content syndicated as long as you are in a giving place yourself. In other words, the more you give, the more you get. Don’t Give, Don’t Get! It’s a beautiful thing! As one of our favorite mentors Jim Rohn says, “You have to deserve your harvest. You’ll have a harvest if you plant. Don’t plant. No HARVEST!” Simple words, but so true. Man, I’m starting to sound like Jim Rohn. lol I guess that is to be expected when you surround yourself with great minds. Surround yourself with idiots and tell me what happens? True wisdom my friends, true wisdom.

In the process of developing TSA, I have had the wonderful pleasure and honor to surround myself with some great people. Learning from blog posts, building relationships and the list goes on too far to mention all the benefits. TSA has changed Dawn and I for the better. Through our relationship building over this time period and before, we created what most people would call a Core Mastermind Group. Now we have more than this in our core group, but Matthew Neer begin_of_the_skype_highlighting end_of_the_skype_highlighting, Gavin Mountford and Edward Elliott have contributed greatly in this process.

That being the case, we decided to put together something even better to help TSA and non-TSA friends. You are invited to the FIRST EVER live TSA (Tribe Syndication Association) training webinar in which we’ll be teaching the secrets of the top TSA leaders including Attraction Marketing, Blogging, Twitter, Video, Facebook, and Syndication to help you drive a MASSIVE amount of traffic through your personal brand.

Each of these above mediums in their own right are incredibly POWERFUL, but when you combine them together, the SYNERGY is immense!

If you’ve been involved with Tribe Syndication Association for a while or are brand new to this industry then DON’T MISS OUT on this as we’ll be teaching the top tips and techniques used by the experts to BUILD their business online.

*You DO NOT need to be a member of the TSA to take part in this
*You DO NOT need to have a blog (Yet)
*You DO NOT need to have done anything like this before

But…

If you want to get more traffic to your business opportunity, website, capture page or personal brand and if you are motivated and SERIOUSLY want to build your business using the Internet and working together as part of a team with other AMAZING members of the TSA, then this is for you.

Are You A Social Media Prostitute?

Dave Cook — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:46:31 +0000

Now some of you are looking at this post title and saying to yourself “What the heck is Dave calling me?” I’m not saying that you are using social media to sell your body to others for money but, a lot of people are using social media to push their businesses to make a quick buck. To me, this is very similar to a “Street Walker” asking every John that passes her what can I do to get your money? When it comes to social media, are you going to be a force for good? Or are you going to turn to the dark side – ruining your chances and infuriating those who cross your path?

Are You A Social Media Prostitute?

Social media when used properly is about building relationships and not about instant money. I’m sure all of you see it time and time again, but maybe you don’t realize that you may be doing similar things. Selling your reputation for a quick sale in social media will be your demise in the future. Just like a prostitute, many people on the internet are looking for the quick buck! For those who use this approach, the money will come from time to time, but in the end, do you really think these people can hold their heads high? Building integrity should be first and foremost and then the monetary rewards will come in the end.

Unfortunately too many people using social media don’t understand these basic concepts. Everyone is looking for that Winning Lotto Ticket and will do almost anything to hit those winning numbers. Social Media is not a sprint. It’s a marathon! Building relationships for the future should be our focus and not about some small instant gratification today.

Now what do I mean when I say “Are You A Social Media Prostitute?” Let’s take a look at it from a funny comedian’s perspective to keep it lite and humorous. As Jeff Foxworthy might say:

Do you add friends on Facebook and then immediately pitch them on your business? Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!

Do you upload videos on the internet mainly about your opportunity? Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!

While building your relationships on the internet, you’re thinking how can I sell this person! Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!

If you have more than two posts on your blog about your business and give links to your biz site. Then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!

When you post a Tweet that redirects them for a way to make you money, then you might be a Social Media Prostitute!

Dawn and I see this all the time and most of us don’t like it when it’s done to us PERIOD. We know how a lot of people feel out there. Times are tough and we see all this potential to make money because we have all these friends We are probably in the top 10% for the most friends and followers on the internet, but Dawn and I don’t use this social media spamming approach to make money. Don’t get me wrong. I would love to make a lot of money right now, but social media spamming isn’t going to make this happen. Your reputation and the way you treat others in life is what should come first and foremost! I struggle with this every day myself and want that winning lotto ticket, but I am not going to become a Social Media Prostitute in order to achieve it!

Do me a favor and leave me your thoughts on this post. Am I on target or should we cave in and become a Social Media Prostitute like over 90% of the rest of the people on the net?

Social Networking – The Most Common Rookie Mistakes

Dave Cook — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:07:05 +0000

In today’s computer world there are a lot of opportunities to promote your product or services and Social Networking could be one of the best ways to do it. Unfortunately, most people in this realm of marketing are so hungry to succeed that they may be making huge mistakes. If you are on some of these well known sites like, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and others… you may have noticed other people or maybe even yourself making these common rookie mistakes.

Opportunity or Failure. It's Your Choice!

Social networking is first and foremost a place to build relationship. If people don’t build any relationships, they are highly unlikely to be successful in promoting any business. These people could have the best thing since sliced bread but if people don’t like what they are doing, it’s not going help them open any doors. Just remember, people are more likely to join a person vs. any business opportunity they have to offer.

It seems as though everyone out there claims to be an “EXPERT” on Attraction Marketing techniques but there are only small percentages that really “walk the talk.” Most of these so called experts are so desperate to be successful; they are the ones making most of these rookie mistakes.

Here are a few examples to make my point.

1. Twitter: Thanks for the follow! Want to get 20-50 leads per day?

Check out my site: (Example) tinyurl.com/I_can’t_but_maybe_you_will

2. Twitter: Thanks for the Follow! Looking forward to your tweets! Make money online, grab your free report (Example) Please_Please_Please_Read_My_Report

3. Facebook: Thanks for accepting. Looking forward to our new friendship.

Been telling others of a new energy drink that facebook is soon to promote. Product E

(Example) productenergyclub.com/preview/
(Example) myproduct_is_the best.com/drink

Then they go on and on about the product or what a great opportunity this is… Then if that wasn’t enough, they go on to tell you how they can help you grow your business. After all, they are very successful and they how help you since they just finished reading a 40 page e-book.

And they complete with “Thanks for being my new friend! John & Jane Desperate”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? They actually try to start selling me from the very first opportunity and then call themselves my friend. Think about this, would you seriously say “Now this person is person I want as a business partner.” No! Probably Not! You are more likely to get turned off by this marketing technique.
Let’s take a look at this from another perspective. Let’s just say that John Desperate owns a car dealership and he gets invited to the neighborhood picnic. Everyone there is having a great time eating, playing games and just getting to know each other better.

But John Desperate see’s the huge potential of making money off all these new contacts. So here’s what John does… Everyone John meets the first thing he tells them is how he owns a car lot and they should come see him because he has the Best Car Lot and Prices in town. Now, John goes on telling them about everything he knows about cars, financing and how they would be a fool to not look at his latest deals. It’s all about ME, ME, ME while passing out his business card while he goes on from one person to the next. We’ve all seen this approach and think about how many of these people you actually did business with. Probably not too many, Right!

As you can see, this sales method doesn’t work and people shouldn’t use it in your Social Network Marketing either. In order to be successful, people need stand out from the rest of the pack.

In today’s world, using a different strategy people could actually stand out from over 90% of the crowd. So at this point you need to ask yourself, are you using John & Jane Desperate methods or are you truly building relationships for future SUCCESS?
