One of the biggest obstacles to being a newer marketer is getting your voice heard, and social marketing is a powerful way to get your content shared all over the internet.

My buddies from the IM Wealth Builders team (Soren, Cindy, and John) have helping both new AND experienced marketers with creative solutions that has resulted in over 35,000 customers seeking out their help.

That’s some serious credibility!

And one of the coolest things to see is YOUR content and links being shared on places like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and all other other social sites.

Their new product, Covert Social Buzz, helps you get your content shared whether you’re experienced or a complete beginner. I think this will become a must-have tool for internet marketers.

Over 1,000 people have bought this in less than a WEEK, so I think this deserves your attention.

Covert Social Buzz is a powerful wordpress plugin that really puts the spotlight on getting people to SHARE your content.

Here are some of my personal favorite highlights:

• What REALLY catches peoples’ eyes is that the number of shares actually changes while the visitor is on your blog, naturally drawing their eyes to your sharing buttons. And more shares equal more visitors and more profits.
• You have the option to show real or fake numbers of shares – with the option to set number ranges and to automatically swap to real numbers once it reaches a certain point. You practically force people to share your content when they see others sharing! (I also like that you have the option to show the real numbers if you prefer)
• I love that the share button shows the TOTAL number of shares. It makes your blog look much more active when the shares are totaled onto one button rather that divided among the many social networks.
• Lots of customization options to easily change the look and formatting just the way you want it
• And lots more!

My final verdict is that Covert Social Buzz simply a fantastic plugin. As an experienced marketer with over 30,000 subscribers, I can tell you from first-hand experience that social proof and viral marketing can be incredibly lucrative and make you a lot more sales. And what the Covert Social Buzz plugin does, is it taps into the herd mentality that makes people want to share your content, since everyone else is doing it!

And Covert Social Buzz will give you a roaring, rocket-start to getting your blog shared all over the internet.

And say this may be one of the most powerful articles you will ever read about online business.

Haha ok I take that back, but honestly this IS a powerful secret that I will reveal with you today. Do this, and you will experience greater success in your business.

At the time I write this, I have a mailing list of about 15,000 people and 300 followers on IM Faceplate. I’m not saying this to show off, but I want you to know that I speak from experience. And YOU can easily do the same or better if you follow the secrets I’m about to share with you.

I have to warn you though, if you’re looking for the answer for fast cash, you won’t find it here.

What you’re going to discover is the secret to BIGGEER, LONG LASTING cash. It won’t happen overnight, but once you have this, the money comes often and with ease.

This is what you’ve been waiting for…

You Must Build TRUST!

When you’ve established yourself as being trustworthy, people will begin to follow you wherever you go.

“Easier said than done Solomon!”

I promise it’s not as hard as it seems! =)

So how do you build a reputation and instill trust?

For beginners, the easiest way is to build your brand. This is what I did to get started online. I put my name and face everywhere I advertise.

For those of you who have the brand established, now it’s time to respect the people who recognize your brand. That means being an honest seller and taking care of your customers.

This could get very long, so let me keep it short, sweet, and simple:

* Build your brand – Put your name and picture on everything you’re associated with. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, create an Identity that you want to be known as. (Ex. Mr. Money Bags, except something less corny than my example!)

* Be yourself – Just be comfortable with who you are. While professionalism is important, you also want people to feel like you are a real person just like them. Can you kind of feel my personality through this article? Be yourself, and people will feel more connected to you as well.

* Be Consistent – This one is kind of weird, but it’s true. You want people to see you often, because it shows you’ll be around for the long term and won’t randomly disappear. For example, you can regularly in contact with your mailing lists and be active in IM Faceplate often.

* Be Honest – Of course part of trust is being honest! I can’t think of a great example here, but one thing I personally do is I don’t promote products unless I believe it can help you.

* Give Away The Goods – Educate people with solid information. It doesn’t mean you have to reveal all of your secrets for free, but share valuable information and show people that you can help them. Part of building trust is people want to know you can lead them somewhere great. Then be amazed as people anxiously await to hear what you’re doing next!

A big reason why I have 300 followers on IM Faceplate is because many perceive me to be someone you can trust to deliver real secrets about making money online.

You want people to “follow you” on IM Faceplate because they want to hear what you have to say… NOT because they’re hoping you will follow them back so they can spam you with affiliate links!

Try the steps above, beginning with building your brand first. And soon you’ll have hundreds or even thousands of people following you on IM Faceplate and everywhere you go!

What I’ve shared with you is some general, powerful rules to personal branding. You can read my personal story and INDEPTH tricks on how you can establish your brand today in my free report, Zero To IM Hero: Zero To IM Hero.

Main Article – Flood Your Blog With Traffic … At Will!

Blogging has been a recent phenomenon that’s taken the internet by storm.

Some people do blogging for fun or to make some extra cash. Some people even make their entire living just from blogging!

I want to make a disclaimer that I’m not some blogging “guru”, but I am always reading and studying internet marketing. Naturally, stuff like blogging comes up fairly often, so I’ve read quite a bit of stuff on blogging and marketing online.

With that said, there are a ton of ways to get traffic to your blog. There’s SEO (search engine optimization), blogging communities (technorati, mybloglog, etc), social networking, blog commenting, blog directories, and tons of other stuff.

They all work! For me personally, I’m all about getting the MOST results for as little effort as possible.

This is how *I* drive traffic to my blog with one simple method…

BUILD YOUR LIST!

That’s it! In fact, I’ll go out on a limb and say this would be my answer for most struggling internet marketers.

First let me reveal how I do it, and then why.

1) I create a squeeze page where people can opt in to my mailing list. I’ll usually offer something of value to them, like a free ebook or membership.

2) Then I send traffic to that squeeze page using traffic exchanges, credit based safelists, and viral list builders. I also kind of (as in almost never) do other stuff like social networking or blog commenting, but only if I’m really…really…. really bored, haha. If you’re in a niche outside of Internet marketing, find hotspots where people from your niche would go like forums, popular blogs, and social networking groups.

3) I also naturally get search engine traffic without even doing fancy SEO stuff. If my blog is about internet marketing, I’ll tend to always use keywords about internet marketing anyway, so either way I still get traffic from search engines without any extra effort. But of course if you do your keyword research too, you can enjoy even more free traffic.

4) Then when I make a new blog post, I tell my mailing list subscribers about it.

And that’s how I get traffic to my blog.

So why do I do it this way?

First, it doesn’t take me any extra effort to promote my blog, because I’m always building my mailing list. And YOU should be too. Click here for my recommended autoresponder.

It’s also a good way to remind people that your blog even exists. Lets face it, we’ve all got busy lives and sometimes things will slip our minds. You don’t want people to forget about your blog, so it’s always nice to send them a little friendly reminder and let them know when you put up a new post.

Promoting your blog to your list is a GREAT way to build a relationship with your readers. Sometimes people want to know that you’re more than a marketer, they want to know what kind of person you are. Sending them to your latest blog post with actual info is a nice change of pace from just emailing them whenever you want to sell them something.

Using a list also makes your blog “Google Slap Proof”. Huh? Basically every now and then Google changes their search engine algorithm (basically a math formula). I’ve read SO many times about people who have spent months or years optimizing their websites/blogs to get on the first page of Google. Countless hours of hard work … and then *SLAP*, Google changes the formula and you’re now listed on like page 10…

Well guess what, if you have a mailing list, it doesn’t really matter where your blog ranks in the search engine! You just send out an email like you’ve always done.

And the best thing about this method is that it doesn’t actually take me any extra work. If you do have the time, then sure go out there and do that extra stuff I listed for more traffic to your blog. If time isn’t quite a luxury you have yet, then you might want to give my method a try.

I know I covered a lot of stuff today and jumped around a bit, so if you have a question, just leave a comment and I’ll try to get ya an answer.

This is actually a two part series. Next time I’ll tell you something else about blogging and how it can make you extra cash.

In the mean time, here’s my recommended action steps for more blog traffic:

1) Build a squeeze page to get people to join your mailing list. You can make them for free at Instant Squeeze Page Generator if you’re not sure how to do it.

2) Whenever you make a new blog post, let your subscribers know!

See that wasn’t hard was it?

So how are you getting traffic to YOUR blogs?

I’ve never been a big fan of that fancy web 2.0 stuff like Myspace, Facebook, etc. I hardly ever talk to my old high school buddies on my social networking accounts. It just never really caught on with me personally. Even with blogging, I’m still uncomfortable doing it at times.

I started because some marketers I respect say I need to do it. And hey, if they are more successful than I am, I listen.

But something unexpected happened when I started doing all of this stuff…

I started recognizing people! I am now connecting and talking with people that I probably wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.

For example, if you look on my blog in the right side column, you’ll notice that I have lists posted for active commenters.

When you leave comments on my blog, I see it!
When you say something intelligent in a comment, I notice you!
When you’re leaving comments every week, I start looking for you!
When you reply to something I say on facebook or myspace, I actually read it and see who it’s from!
And when it comes time to do business together, you’ll have a MUCH better chance of getting a yes!

There’s people that I remember from my blog. And if I find them on places like Twitter or Myspace, I add them to my friends list just based off of that.

I realize this is part of what web 2.0 is all about. But I’m amazed at how much you can stand out just by one simple gesture.

It’s unfortunate that it took me so long to realize the power of web 2.0, but better late than never!

If you’re like me, don’t be afraid to jump in and give it a try. You never know who you’ll meet or if some big name marketer might be interested in learning more about you!

Here’s some easy stuff you can do right now to get your name out there:

Step 1) Find blogs in your niche and leave *quality* comments about the posts. Engage in conversations with other readers too!

Step 2) Look for forums in your niche and start participating.

Step 3) Get active at social networks like facebook and myspace. Good places to start are finding groups in your niche and meeting people there.

Step 4) Grab my free ebook Zero to Internet Marketing Hero. I explain a lot about the techniques I’ve used to build a name for myself online.
