Building Loyalty Through Caring
I have a short story to share with you...About caring!
I'm an internet marketer. Now before you start rolling your eyes and shaking your head...I'm NOT that kind of internet marketer....The one that tells you to buy my products and you'll be an instant success...I believe in building mailing lists, personal brands and putting the axe to grand stone...
AKA...Putting in the work to develop a long term business using the tools and services that are used in the internet marketing world.
Part of internet marketing and building your lists is recommending products and services to your customers. Through creative marketing, sending emails, or driving traffic to affiliate offers...
And to be able to take part in these affiliate offers you first must 'JV' or joint venture with the product's creator or developer.
I get pitched offers all the time.
Dozens of product creators send me pitches on why I should promote their offer and how great it will serve my customers...Some products are great, others are so so and some are just absolute garbage.
Do you know which offers I choose to promote the most?
The product creators who actually give a crap! The ones that CARE!
It's not the guys with the slickest sales pitch. Or the marketers promising the most returns...
It's the ones that spend the time to develop a relationship with me for the long term and deliver massive value to their customers.
This is huge and while it's a great lesson for internet marketers, I'm sharing this with you on STEEM for a reason...And the reason is this...GIVE A S&^T!
Actually CARE about your readers!
Engage with the people who comment on your blog!
Spend time to develop relationships with you readers through engagement but also via Discord chats and other means.
Care.
Actually...Genuinely...CARE!
Care what they write about. Share what they talk about. Put some passion into developing those relationships.
I know I've been M.I.A. over the past few weeks and not as 'engaging' as I like to be...But I'm almost home ;)
And once I do..I promise to CARE. To respond to your unique comments! And to enjoy the STEEM journey and passion that we all share!
Caring is not just a great game plan for success in internet marketing and STEEM...It's the right way to live :)

On your way home and most likely tired, you took the time to share an important story. That's CARING!
Keeping my goals lol No matter what. I need to post as much as i can. lol

Yup. Not many would have. Or maybe some would have included vacation pictures instead. Although they're nice, they're also... easier.
lol that is true. i started the trip taking pics. but then realized i’m better at blogging than snapping lol

If you are building for the short term you will lose in the long term. Building a relationship is one thing... but, we do business with those we know, like and trust. You might have a relationship with folks but... do you like and trust them? Caring about someone is what builds the Like & Trust in the relationship! Safe Travels... you have not been that much off the grid. You are still consistently blogging! :)
it’s tough man lol thank goodness for partiko and my cell connection. the mountains can be tricky to get a good signal. but found a place to write for a bit :)

Keep it coming... be safe... no blogging and driving! It takes texting and driving to a whole new level! Don't do this at home kids... :)
Exactly what am always trying to do when people comment on my post.
After I reply their comments, I then check their account to follow them if I have not followed to support them too because I care. That is if I like their blog.
I mean. It’s the least we can do right? If someone gives us their time, the least we can do is show we appreciate it very much!
