We're living in exciting times, with significant advancements in technology bringing human beings and communities together on a scale never before possible.
Smart marketers now have incredible opportunities to increase brand awareness, build community, establish trust and activate their audience to actions that will bring fans, customers and partners closer to them and their brand, while at the same time helping both the audience members and brand achieve their goals.
Unfortunately, too many marketers are lazy. They invest in social media platforms but don’t do much more than slap some fancy marketing branding lipstick on a Facebook business Page, LinkedIn profile or Instagram account. Then, after months of wasted time, they wonder why they have little to no real measurable business result.
If you want to see success in online marketing you have to activate your audience in order to help them achieve their goals. When you inspire people to connect with you, with a goal of helping them achieve, you, by default, achieve your own goals when you're successful. Inspire, connect, achieve.
