Schimbări pe Facebook

Facebook e nou – poți să mergi în „urmă” cu status updates mult timp (am mers până pe 30 august, anterior puteai să vezi doar ultimele două-trei zile); apoi chestia cu ce anume să urmărești de la un om (totul, sau chestiile importante, sau chestiile foarte importante) e binevenită; în fine, listele urmează modelul Circles al Google; eu aveam doar două plângeri, care au fost rezolvate, vezi mai sus; Circles nu era obligatoriu, dar dacă trebe, trebe.

Idea: There is no competition, only niches and segments

I think there is no competition, only niches and segments; let me explain this: Any business you would take, you can segment it very much and pick a niche that hasn’t been taken yet and solve that niche’s problems better than anyone else; you will be the master of a niche; then, you can expand your business; Let’s say you pick a niche which is already taken; even in that niche you can create another niche; so, if you build a donuts shop next to another donuts shop, you can differentiate via customer service, quality, products, marketing, operating times and so on; you can be a different donuts shop. So the bottom line is that, in some way, there is no competition, only niches and segments. I got this idea from Vlad STAN (Twitter), at the Coaching Support Group Bucharest, Noble Manhattan training center. My follow-up: 2011.09.15 Vlad STAN at Coaching Support Group Bucharest.

Idea: (self-)promotion doesn’t work

There are two business models: You can solve a problem, get recommendations, solve other problem, get more recommendations; Another one is bragging „I’m so good, look at me!”; promoting yourself all over places. I think it’s better to use the first model (personal recommendations) rather than the second one (self-promotion); of course, you can do some self-promotion, but this should not be the key factor; other people’s recommendations count more. The search engines, who put much more emphasis on a link you get from other web sites than your own, knew this for years. Main takeaway – let others do the promotion for you; it’s more believable.

Idea: Constantly communicate with your target audience

How about this? Constantly communicate with your target audience. So, if you have a Facebook group, keep it alive; Twitter? Communicate constantly; newsletter? Set a frequency and keep it; you should constantly blog with a defined frequency; So, the main idea – whatever your channel of communication is (Twitter, Facebook, email, newsletter, blog, forum), you should keep a constant flow of communication with your audience. Constant. I got this idea from Vlad STAN (Twitter), at the Coaching Support Group Bucharest, Noble Manhattan training center. My follow-up: 2011.09.15 Vlad STAN at Coaching Support Group Bucharest.
