Build Your Social Media Domination Machine With Only 15 Minutes a Day

You know the importance of social media and how it is a must if you want to build a lasting online business.

You know it but you don’t do it or you do it “now and then” or “here and there”.

Then you rationalize it by how you “don’t have time to do everything” or “you need to stay focused”.

You “know” that’s right because all the gurus say so.

I can’t argue the importance on not trying to be and do everything or the importance of being focused on the critical path to your goal but…

I say it is B.S. to apply that logic to your social media efforts.

You can, with relatively little effort, be on more social media sites than you even knew existed.

Here’s how…
Social media has so fully embraced RSS that it’s hard to tell where the separating line is.

You’re saying “RSS, big deal!” “RSS, sure I use that.” or “RSS, what’s that” and to that I say, that it is one of the keys to social media domination and if that isn’t a big deal then I hope you are one of my competitors

And if you are using it and not dominating you definitely need to read on.

If you don’t know what RSS is, you’ve at least seen RSS icons all over the place, they look like various adaptations of this orange thing…

All you really need to know about what RSS is it how it can help you.

Just think of RSS as a sort of universal language that computers can use to talk. In particular, and this is how you can use it to dominate, it is a language that computers can use to automatically deliver Web content.

Read that again, “automatically deliver Web content“.

That is the key to your social media domination.

Think about it, if you just made one Twitter post (even from your phone), that post could, within minutes, be on blogs, Squidoo, Faceboock and hundreds or thousands of other places.

And not even just your blogs and other Web properties but on other people’s also, because if they subscribed to your RSS feeds it will be on their sites and on the sites of people who subscribed to their RSS feeds and on and on.

The 30 seconds you spend putting up one single Tweet could mean it is all over the Internet in just a short people of time. Talk about being everywhere!!!

Now, of course, if all you do are Tweets then you’ll be everywhere but probably not for long and it won’t do you any good.

But I hope you begin to see the power of RSS and how you can use it to dominate your niche in the social media sites.

And think of the reach you’ll get.

Not everyone may go to your blog or be on Twitter or be on Facebook or wherever.

But the vast majority of people will be on at least one of those places and as your name starts dominating the things they are interested in, at the places they hang out, don’t you think they’ll want to check you out and, if you’re doing a good job, follow you or become your friend or become part of your personal network.

You bet they will and these will be people who will be predisposed to listening to you and trusting you and buying from you; they are the best sorts of targeted traffic.

How to Get Started

Just follow these 7 steps and you’ll be on your way:

Step 1: Create Accounts

The hard part is the setup. Unless you use tools to create the accounts for you, you do have to go to each of the sites and create an account.

It’s not hard but it is boring and tedious but fortunately you only have to do it once, at least once per persona, and the benefits you reap could be amazing.

Step 2: Find a Publisher

Find a service that will do all the RSS work for you; some good ones are Ping.fm and hellotxt.

You could go around to all your social media sites and do the subscriptions to your other sites manually but why not “outsource” that to the services, it’s free.

And you will have to do that for those places that the services don’t support but the services do something like 40-50 places so you’ve got a good start.

Step 3: Enable Your Accounts

Be sure to set it up so that your accounts can be updated by texting or e-mail. This will let you update your accounts via e-mail or texting, freeing you from having to log into an account or even being at your computer.

An example of this, so you understand what I mean, is in Twitter when you go to “Settings” there is a “Devices” tab that you can use to enter your cell phone number so you can just text an update and let your machine loose to spread the word.

Step 4: Handling Responses

The easiest way to handle responses is to use an RSS reader to get the responses all in one place (again, you don’t want to be logging into all these accounts all the time).

Most of the accounts will send out RSS so just use an RSS reader, I use Google Reader, and make it easy on yourself.

For those accounts that don’t send out an RSS feed, after you send them a strongly worded message about why they should send out a feed, look at http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/, it should help you.

Step 5: Make Your Posts

Now that everything is set up and ready you can use your “social media domination machine” by making post to just one place and having it spread throughout the Web.

Start by making a post once every day or so but be consistent.

Step 6: Monitor and Adjust

See what the responses you get are and post more or less frequently based upon your situation and how the responses go; if you get lots of responses post more, not many post less.

Periodically you’ll need to monitor and adjust, particularly at the beginning when you’re just building a following.

Step 7: Blast Out the Good Stuff

Now just get some quick articles for the blogs, various media sites, and articles directories.

How do you get the articles? Here are some ways:

1. Write them, this isn’t as hard as it seems and if you have any writing ability and know how to use Google you can create one in about 10 minutes. Personally, I use Answer Analyst to help me but it isn’t necessary just faster.

2. You can have them written, good real native English writers are available for as little as $5 an article. You might also try the local high school or community college you can get some good stuff done by students; the disadvantage is that you won’t be the highest priority to them so you can’t always rely on getting the articles when you need them.

3. You can buy PLR articles and rewrite them enough to make them yours. Here’s where you can get 111,107 articles to get you started; oh yeah, John’s only charging $1, yes one dollar, for all 111,107.

Just put the articles up and let your social media domination machine go to work!
Conclusion
There you have it, a simple way to spend a little time and get big returns, all by using the simple technology of RSS.
