“Take 5 With The Tribe…” Face To Face With Nick Logan

Published August 30, 2010 by Kary Rogney

This afternoon I had the opportunity to interview Nick Logan in my latest “Take 5 with the Tribe” interview series. Nick Logan is one of the co-founders of the Empowered Tribe and gives some great pointers on finding your passion, video marketing, and the new changes in Google that make it more important than ever to take advantage of what http://empoweredtribe.com has to offer.

The first question I asked Nick is regarding what he is most passionate about.  In other words what gets him fired up about his online business.

Nick is most passionate about coaching.  Whether that be with youth sports, the proper mindset, or coaching and sharing the knowledge and skills he has gained over the last few years with his online endeavors.  Nick decided a few years back to integrate his passions into his business.  I would say
that is working out pretty well for him.

Nick is extremely passionate about teaching people video editing and creating viral videos, product creation and of course the tribe concept.  Since Nick has had some great success with video marketing, I asked him to share one tip that you could use today to ramp up your success with video.  He shared way more than one tip.

Nick shared his formula for constructing videos.  This also works for formulating your blog posts as well.

The formula is:
Tell them what you are GOING to tell them… (Intro)
Tell them… (body of your message)
Tell them what you just told them… (conclusion and call to action)

Remember people have short attention spans.  If you do not get their attention in the first 7 seconds they are onto another video. At first keep your videos short.  If you have a hard time coming up with content, just grab one of your favorite quotes and tell your audience what that means to you.  Be sure to have a call to action at the end of your video.

What is a call to action?  Tell your audience what you would like them to do.  Direct them.  Whether you want them to comment, Retweet, Share on Facebook, or maybe you want to send them to your blog, or capture page.

It is important put a link or watermark right on your video.  If you do not know how to do this, Nick  shares some valuable and simple video editing techniques at http://meetnicklogan.com/vids/

Nick also recommends getting into a ritual of doing a video everyday. The best way to do this is with a 30 day video challenge.  Our students in the http://empoweredtribe.com community have shown remarkable results within a few days of dedicating themselves to a 30 day video challenge.

The last thing I asked Nick, was to describe what about the TRIBE model that most excites him.  Nick shares some amazing insights on some lesser known changes that fall right into the hands of those that have a blog and most importantly are taking advantage of the Tribe model.  Be sure to watch the video all the way through.  You don’t want to miss this tip.

Blogging For Beginners: “How Can Tribe Syndication Bring Traffic And Social Credibility To My Blog?”

Published August 6, 2010 by Kary Rogney

One of the most creative and most effective marketing strategies I ever did was to create a graphic ‘blog roll’ page on my blog called ‘My Tribe.’

This page alone has had thousands and thousands of views and has helped bridge new blogging alliances for content/tribe syndication right from the beginning. Because I went out there and made the first move to promote others, many of these bloggers were willing to return the favor and also gladly promote my content all over the social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.

This in turn has brought me over +59,796 page views in the first twelve months of my blog. I never could have done that without my tribe syndication network. I highly recommend doing this right away even if you don’t intimately know that blogger. It sure is a great foot in the door to open up that relationship for further joint ventures as well.

Don’t forget to get out on their blogs and comment, retweet, and interact with them, too. It’s natural for many of them to feel compelled to reciprocate those actions. It’s so simple and yet VERY wise to put this plan into action.

The idea of forming tribes around social media and blogs is catching on and for good reason. I’m sure you’ve heard about forming tribes for content syndication. If you have not… the idea is you network with a few people to promote each others content. There are many benefits around tribes and rapid exposure is just the start. But before we get into that I want to share a story of how this tribe was founded.

Earlier this last summer I finally came to the realization that I was going to start a blog. I had put off this concept for over 3 years. Many people would tell me to “Just start one.” “You need a blog to get your message out there.” “There’s a lot of money to be made by blogging.” All good points but I had my doubts.

Could I create a blog and provide enough content to keep readers coming back? How often do I need to keep feeding this blog thing? Do I need a technical degree to set it up? And the biggest question we all face is… How do I get traffic? So many questions… but I finally took the plunge and got a blog started with the help of a few friends.

As I was looking around at many different blogs I realized that some were just empty. There was no life, no energy… no community. I knew that I would face the same issues. How to get traffic? So I figured that if I had these questions, others did as well.

So I reached out to several people and proposed a blogging alliance. I was looking to create a mastermind group of a few people who would comment on each others blog and “buzz” each others content. Social Tribes for content syndication was born.

It was not hard to find a few people who caught the vision and wanted to play ball. They are all over the social media sites. Most of them are busy promoting their own content. However there are a few who seem to be climbing the social sites faster than others.

As I mentioned earlier this concept was the main goal at the time. Since then we have realized that there are many benefits to having a mastermind group that is focused on helping each other. And many incredible opportunities and joint ventures have sprung from our alliance.

There are 5 of us now in our blogging alliance. We all have different skills and talents. By pulling these resources together we have a long term vision to support and teach people the power behind content/tribe syndication and social media.

Results…

Within 12 months I had over 807 subscribers, had two dozen new business partners (savvy Internet marketers, too), earned a Black BMW Car Bonus with my company,  have made thousands in bonuses and commissions, have had people calling and paying me for personal mentoring, was asked by the president of a network marketing company to lead all social media training for the entire company, and much more!

This has all happened… not because I’m anything special… because I took MASSIVE ACTION on the activities that my coaches told me to do!

I can’t imagine marketing online without a TRIBE by my side and without them watching my back.

Next time we will get into ways to boost you’re social credibility and proof online.

Yours in support and mastery,

PS The online Tribe Syndication community is a treasure trove of knowledge and friendships waiting to be made. Once I had my blog up and running, I easily found other bloggers to create a mastermind alliance with… This is a great place to start… http://empoweredtribe.com

Top 10 Reasons Why I Use Katie Freiling’s Unified Tribe Syndication Platform

Published June 15, 2010 by Kary Rogney

So it’s been over a month now since Katie Freiling launched her much anticipated Unified Tribe Syndication Platform. I had been eagerly waiting for it for over 6 months and when it became available I was eager to jump in and give it some action. And I’m so glad I did!

Below is a Top 10 List of why I use the Unified Feed for syndicating my content across the social media sites like Facebook and Twitter… The following video is where I pull back the curtain and give you a behind the scenes view of what it looks like and how easy it is to use.

  1. Autosyndication: I submit my content and links and people go to work sharing my posts and videos for me!
  2. Traffic: I’ve seen a MASSIVE increase in traffic to my blog since joining the Unified Tribe.
  3. More Business Partners: Weekly and sometimes daily I’m approached by new people who want to partner with me in one of my business opportunities.
  4. Social Credibility: Since I get so many ReTweets, Comments and people joining my Google Friend Connect and Facebook “Like” page, my benefit is increased social credibility.
  5. Personal Branding: Along with the increase in traffic and exposure comes and increase in my brand recognition. I have people telling me all the time that they see my content everywhere on the social media sites.
  6. More Comments: Increased traffic brings more people commenting on my content. When that happens I’m able to interact with visitors and create a community feeling and hub spot for learning.
  7. Community: In the Unified Tribe there is a massive community of like-minded entrepreneurs that I can network and mastermind with to reach my business goals. (Invaluable and usually overlooked.)
  8. Subscribers: I’ve seen a large increase of people subscribing to my blog for updates and for my free give away. This is one of my most valuable assets.
  9. Mentoring & Training: Within the community there is a ton of training and mentoring to learning key tips and strategies to be a better blogger, marketer, and entrepreneur.
  10. New Friendships: I’ve made some incredible new friendships with the community as well.
