My buddy Nick Logan edited my video footage of when we were at Jonathan Budd & Aaron Fortner’s home in San Diego this past March.
Always remember that getting some valuable group training from your main mentor… can’t be beat…Especially when it involves getting schooled in MANBALL! lol I’m looking forward to your commentary on the FUN.
Have you had the fantastic opportunity to come “Face To Face” with people that you’ve met online that live out or your region or country? I’ve had several occasions this year where I’ve been able to spend some REAL QUALITY TIME connecting offline in San Diego, Las Vegas, and now MY BACK YARD! I love what has been evolving within my virtual world of online relationships.
Yes, I speak to many new found friends on Skype (karyrogney) and get on the phone on a regular basis. When people say that you don’t need to do that kind of stuff anymore, I SURE DON’T AGREE! All of my joint venture partners and business relationships have grown and blossomed by ‘speaking’ and ‘connecting’ at this personal, more intimate level…
Today, Faith Barnard gave me a call, happened to be in southern Oregon and we had a fabulous two hour visit. This never would have happened if she wouldn’t have given me a call several weeks ago. From there our friendship has grown and we’re now partnering on several ventures and LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT! And she’s a new and valuable member of our Tribe Mastermind Community, too!
Thanks for sharing about your similar experiences with creating lasting friendships online in the comments section below… And sharing this post with your Twitter and Facebook friends is always appreciated!
PS I remember when I got started on Facebook. I started contacting and friending all the people in my local area that were ‘open and interested’ in Networking… Try it. I got Face to Face with many people locally.
The blogging world is opening up and shifting drastically right now. We are on the verge of an absolute tipping point in the way that people communicate, interact, and do business online. Over the next several weeks I’m going to be sharing with you a series I call “Blogging For Beginners.”
In the coming posts I’m going to share how I, a new and completely clueless elementary school teacher, went from 0 to 44,324+ page views on my blog, became the top enroller for my network marketing company in my second month, and had top industry entrepreneurs calling me to lead webinars and coach their top tier coaching clients… all in less than eight months!
But before we get into the how-to’s and nuts and bolts of how to piece together a social media blog, I want to share the process I implemented leading to this massive exposure and success online.
First and foremost, everything I’m going to share and that you need to be doing initially is about developing relationships, acquiring skills, and growing as a leader. I won’t share anything that I’m not already doing, too. This is important because I’m not here to paint pictures of theories or to pass along ideas that I’VE HEARD might work.
Let me explain… As people get to know, like, and trust you they are going to be more “open” to what you’re doing. And if you are sharing valuable, thought-provoking content you are going to find yourself very magnetic in your readers’ eyes.
People will be calling, messaging, skyping, or e-mailing you every day with questions, requests to be friends, and wanting to know what you’re working on. As you unconditionally give, give, give, they are drawn into the idea that they can also learn even more from you by getting personal mentoring or by joining you in business. By offering so much in value and information, people will feel compelled to partner with you any way possible…
Trust is definitely earned by placing the needs of others first… DON’T PITCH a biz opp right out of the gate! (We call this PUKING ALL OVER THEM!) But ask questions, listen, and offer real solutions after asking permission to share.
Allow your readers and new friends opportunities to get to know you by telling stories, by sharing personal info about yourself, by posting pictures and videos, and by doing anything possible to let people see into your world… This bridges the gap between their interests and yours. You’ll become more interesting, relatable, and approachable.
If you use your blog’s platform to inspire, educate, entertain, enlighten and so on, you will HOOK them and keep them coming back for more. They’ll be loyal and ferocious FANS! This will also open more opportunities to grow your subscriber list, grow your network marketing team, and to ultimately GROW YOUR INCOME! That is what everyone wants, right?
As I learned the blueprint for putting everything together on my blog, my main goal was to serve and help as many people as possible… while looking for people open to working and learning these skills together.
In that process, I was able to connect and make deep, long-lasting relationships with vast numbers of other entrepreneurs and bloggers. Through this alliance I was able to get my questions answered quickly and found that there was tremendous POWER AND LEVERAGE in my new-found “TRIBE.”
Once you have these rock-solid relationships established, it is natural to roll out your blogs together and to support one another. You will learn so much in this process; it’s absolutely CRAZY!
Over the next few weeks in this series I will be handing you a manual and map for how to put a plan into action for launching your blog. With this check-off list you will be breezing your way through getting your blog up and ready, or you’ll be able to make simple and quick changes to your existing blog… especially if you’re not getting the results you desire with that blog right now.
We’ll soon get started with Day 1 of my series ‘Blogging For Beginners’…
Yours in support and success,
PS. Remember it wasn’t long ago that I was banging my head against my computer, wondering how to put my blog together, and how to grow a significant income on line. Let me show you how I did it…
This is actually one simple service that is launching hundreds of blogs as we speak… http://empoweredblogs.com

Mmmmm… I love the smell of fresh cut grass and my Daphne bush in bloom. Spring is definitely in the air today and my family and I just got back from the park and the garden center.
We’re heading out into the back yard now to spend some ‘outside’ time together. We have a great little space to hang out, garden, and whatever…
Over the last few weeks I’ve been recalibrating my time and attention with my family and taking at least one “unplugged” day in the week… a day not to do business or get online… a day of rest… a “family fun day!” I’ve decided to move it from Friday to Sunday and rearrange my webinars and tribe calls to other days, too.
Listen and watch as I share my plans and what I’ve learned while out in my back yard this afternoon.
This is my first followup message to last week’s video on how I’m choosing to be offline on Fridays to focus on my family and other priorities. I received so many inspiring and encouraging comments and messages last week. Keep me informed on your progress to take one day off and fully escape from your computer… (I’m taking my lunch time at work to upload this vid real quick… shhhhh)
Hey Friends! I really appreciate you taking the time to come by and listen to me share about why I’m going “Unplugged” and about some of the personal struggles that I’ve been facing. Maybe you have these similar issues with time, family, and the challenge of building a business online…
Sit back and listen as I discuss with you some new ideas that I’m working on to bring a better balance to my life.
If you resonate with this and have some ideas or encouraging words to share, I’d love to hear from you down below. And if you think the people over on Twitter would benefit, a ReTweet is always appreciated, too.
Many Blessings,
Kary
