Hi Anne,

Thank you! I really appreciate that, and I think we’ve all made some of the same mistakes, it is certainly part of the learning curve! We’ll just keep getting better though as we continue moving along our path to our goals, so never give up!

Wishing You Fabulous Success,

Hi Vicki, you had a great post here! I really enjoy reading this whole post and it really inspires me a lot. There were times I mislead my Internet marketing activities and what you have shared here are truly the most common mistakes. I actually evaluate myself in doing social media marketing after reading your post. And it is important that we have to listen and know our people (target audience) to exactly give what they really want. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bill!

Great definition, and it”s true, it’s about the needs of the client/customer, and building relationships based on trust is the basis of sound business in all aspects.

And you’ve reminded me of one of my favorite quotes too, “No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.” — James Allen. I believe that to be true!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment and add value here!

Well put Vicki!

A good friend and mentor once told me this definition of marketing. “Marketing is the art and science of communicating, empowering, and building a relationship with another human being based on their needs, not mine or yours.”

People do business with people. And the ones that are successful are the ones that actually do communicate. Even if it is responding to a friend request with a “Thank You”, it goes a long way in showing that you are serious.

And like Andre said, it does bear repeating. The more this kind of quality information is put out there, the more it will be found, read, and put into action by those who are looking to become successful marketers.

Thanks again Vicki!

Thank you Andre! Yes it does bear repeating as new people come along every day and haven’t the slightest clue about doing serious business which requires building relationships. That excludes spamming, and a picture is definitely the only way to begin to let people get to know you (and it is still only a start!)

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment!

I think it is great that you bring this subject up as I am sure that some people still don’t get it. I think the more it is discussed the serious people might actually sit back and think about why people are Unfriending them and realize what they are doing is Not the right way. For me if you can’t even provide a picture, be it good or bad, shows me that you are not really serious about marketing. Thanks.
