Social Media Doesn’t Work

by Justin Lukasavige on May 31, 2010

Believe it or not, I keep hearing that social media doesn’t work. This isn’t a long post; I’ll just make two points.

First, here’s a list of the top referring websites to Coach Radio.

  1. Direct
  2. Twitter
  3. 48days.net (social website)
  4. Google
  5. Free Agent Academy (social website)
  6. Stumbleupon
  7. LinkedIn
  8. Facebook

To be fair, I spend a lot of time on these websites.  Did you really think it was going to be easy though?

Second, this is an interactive map of people who are reading my book, Become a Coach.

Add your zip code to this list

The point is, this map wouldn’t be possible without social media.

If you’d like to see more of a strategy, I’ve put together a bunch of social media tutorials.  They’re all free to watch.

Howard Sheppard and I spent three months working together to help him get his business off the ground.  He hosts a podcast at lifebeyondtheassemblyline.com.

We recently spent a weekend together in Colorado to brainstorm on ideas with 35 Free Agents.

Howard is refocusing his business to work with sales people.

“If I can help one person in business, then it’s not a waste.”

We discussed how Howard has a tendency to do so many things that he continually runs into walls.  But that leads him to find where the walls aren’t.  If you’re waiting for a sign to know you’re on the right path, it may never come.  Get out there and make something happen.

Grow Your Business with Social Media

by Justin Lukasavige on May 29, 2010

I hosted a class with Andy Traub the other night that I thought you’d be interested in.

It’s extremely important to have a presence online and to use social media. This goes far beyond having your own website to send people to.

We spent nearly 60 minutes helping you figure out why you need to be online, where you need to be, and what you need to be doing.

You Don’t Need a Step-by-Step Plan for Your Business

May 27, 2010

The great thing about a step-by-step plan is that it probably worked for someone at one point so they wrote it down to share with you. As a coach, people come to me for a step-by-step plan to get their business running better. Many people are looking for a road map to follow [...]

If you’re not monitoring traffic on your website you’re missing out.  I’m not the kind of guy that will tell you to get hung up in the numbers every day, but I will tell you that I spend at least 30-minutes each month reviewing the traffic and the traffic flow on my website.
