Another nourishing post Simon.

As an ever hungry student of your work, still finding
his feet in the marshy waters at the edge of the pond, I thank
you once more for adding clarity and insight to help guide
me on this exciting journey ....The preview I`ve been reading
of "SocialTraffic" is an absolute masterpiece.. technically
on the cutting edge but still so easy to read. Looking forward
to watching and getting involved as it evolves.

This sounds like an exciting group of marketers you are collaborating with to become the leadership force of this bold advance on the conformity of the current social marketing mindset. I look forward to meeting the team over the next few weeks, and pulling my boots on where ever there is an appropriate slot..!

Well Simon, loved the post and with the ‘Social traffic’ team leading the way we will be able to start tipping that balance the other way or at least stop it in the short term . The buying back of Rainforests is a truly worthy initiative and one I whole heartedly support... well done.!

Great intro into the POWER of video and the you tube communities.

I`d better get back in, tweak my channel settings, and switch on my web cam !!
This training is legendary Simon. Your instructions are so easy to follow and
really de-mystify all those settings I would usually not bother with... Thanks

Thanks also.... to everyone who watched my first video last week and
for all the awesome comments!

Re: Selecting a cause to donate funds to

Peter Holmes — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:17:31 -0000

This sounds like a great cause to me Simon and one close to your heart after your time with the gorillas. Involving the locals is always important .When building a lodge in PNG many years ago we employed all the locals on rotation so everyone felt involved in the project and got some benefit .. retaining many as river guides.We transported all the children from the island tribes to the mission school daily as part of the project . Through this depth of involvement and negotiation between PNG governement and the tribal elders we prevented logging to within 300m of any river, saving both our venture and the life blood of the tribes who previously had no voice that was heard. My vote is with Willie Smits foundation and more than happy to recommend it to others.

You learn to filter the noise, listening to only your trusted circle. Simon, you have instigated the building of a tribe of people from around the globe that is built on mutual respect, trust and transparency. Your stories are enthralling and your book "Social traffic" is a true masterpiece, a fantastic introduction to your world class training.

Like finding people having a conversation about what’s happening on the night club scene in a particular area on twitter... and then joining their conversation with a comment about a great club you heard was opening , but the opening night was invite only... so they want to know more?

Although I didn't buy into the, join as many groups as you can, build a group with thousands of members in three days- I did watch it all over facebook. Now returning to this post having joined 'Social Traffic' at the beginning, it is interesting to see how the group has been through growth spurts and then been refined. It's inspiring to see individual and group goals achieved and group focused outcomes realized. (also to learn from any shortcomings)
The group is evolving as it should. Its members are joined across many other platforms through their continued learning and application of the training being shared in the group. It is the only group I know who gets stronger the smaller it gets.... The only group I feel truly a part of and am truly proud to be participating in.

Having all the set up work done for you is fantastic, no shopping carts, bank integration, pulling Google maps into your site and signing up as an affiliate of different sites… Its all done in one place with a team of motivated people marketing the platform and Simons team on SEO ... what a gift ! No more hard sell just syndicate great current information that answers someone’s questions, leading them to an event page that gives them the solution to their problem.. and more... why wouldn’t they tell their friends ? Commission too WOW…. Bonus… Great application, great training and what a great team of people behind it.

Great to have you walk through the keyword research. I have been using Market Samuari for a while now and have heard you describe how to search other peoples videos but to have someone, not just tell you where the water is, or even just take you there but actually walk beside you and make sure you can find it again the next time is how your training videos really stand out from the rest.Great content, very insightful.

How true Painting the right picture for you prospects , imagining what they perceive the product service or event to be connects them to it. Using the right tools to reach them, the tools the emerging tech savvy generation are using shows them you are progressive and connected.

Re: Facebook 3 - Promoting your business

Peter Holmes — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 23:55:42 -0000

Promoting your business on Facebook the right way and grabbing the ads in your niche before the gold rush.. great tips.

I only used facebook to find relatives and friends whose numbers I had lost before.... but learning the power of what you can do with your Facebook profile, your business profile and the analytical tools attached to it has opened up a whole new world ...what a fantastic marketing tool it can be ..not to spam people, but to join groups with the same business interests, or make your own, for other people to find. People who are already looking for information about what you are talking about ...

Loving this training Simon and the team at Social Traffic.

And what a fantastic campaign it has been . Having read the book and been involved in the campaign, using the strategies within the book, purely as an evangelist, I can't verbalize the depth of value this book and the learning within it has given me. Whenever I have had the opportunity of a ‘one on one’ with Simon in the last year, he is a master at playing devils advocate... something friends who know how passionate you are about your business may neither want or have the business acumen to do.. Many thanks to you .. Simon Ford.
