When I saw the Unified Tribe come along, I knew it was going to be just what I had been looking for.

Although I’d seen something similar, this one seemed a bit more personal, mainly because of Katie’s great presentation.

The primary benefit is content syndication, and if you understand it, this is one of the most powerful aspects of social media marketing (I describe it briefly within this post on SEO). Katie explains it brilliantly in her introductory video (see the link below this post), and does an awesome job in the training as part of the package as well.

But the added benefit is the awesome community! This aspect alone has FAAAR exceeded my expectations!  I’ve made some fantastic connections there, and am every bit as happy about that as I am about the dramatic increase in traffic to my blog and increase in my leads.

After exactly one week, I’ve had some pretty impressive results and wanted to share them with you, although I’ll be adding another review in another couple of weeks, because I am sure this is going to explode with this growing community.

I decided to do 4 submissions per day on each weekday starting my first day, Thursday May 6, did only one on Saturday May 8, and 2 on Sunday May 9.  I picked back up to 4 per day on Monday through Wednesday May 12, and this capture is after 3 submissions on Thursday.

Each submission required that I share 5 other members content, an easy thing to do with the volume of great content available in the feed! All in all, I think I spent around 30 min per day once I found my pace.

With a previous average of around 90-100 hits per day, a couple of highs near around 150-165, and some lows around 40, the first spike on 5/6 was to 350, and on the 5th day I hit 530, more than 5x my average!

Now here’s the interesting part, as of Thursday morning, May 13, I noticed prior to submitting or sharing anything yet, I had 246 hits, already 67% over my previous high (165 on April 18)! And by my third submission on that same day, at around 4pm (long ways to go until the day is out, it’s definitely going to be the highlight), I’m at 500!

And, with the weeks you can see that even beginning half way through the week last week, and now only halfway through this week, my stats are definitely looking up!

And as I said, in a few weeks I will come back and update this post, as I’m sure with the growth of the tribe, and the increasing SEO, the results will be flipping amazing!

UPDATE: As of 11:59 pm Thursday May 13, Day 8, I have 640 hits on my blog, over a 600% increase from my average, still having submitted just the 4 posts that day.

AND I just checked my lead stats for the week and the number is up TENfold!

The best is yet to come I am sure – I’ll be updating this again another review in a week or two, but check it out for yourself – this tribe is flipping amazing!

To Your Success!
