There’s this age-old problem with selling: If we could only get more people to pay attention to us, we could build relationships that lead to sales.
Fortunately, social media offers an amazing source of business opportunities. If you approach it the right way, you can build many relationships that could be crucial to your business growth and success.
This article is about successfully “selling” with social media. I’ll explore how to achieve success with the “two people getting to know each other and starting up a conversation that might go somewhere” kind of selling.
Here are 8 ways to strike up social media conversations with people you want to meet:
#1: Boil the Frog
There’s an old wives’ tale (some truth to it), that if you put a frog in boiling water, it will sense the heat and jump out. But put a frog in cool water and turn up the heat slowly and the frog will hardly notice.
When reaching out online to people you’d like to meet, don’t come on like gangbusters. Nothing screams “jump out of the hot pot” more than a blatant “let’s talk so I can sell you something” message.
Start cool and warm up slowly. Comment on their blog post. Retweet them thoughtfully. Compliment something they wrote. Become familiar to someone—even if they don’t engage you right away—and it’s more likely that they’ll engage you in the future.
For example, this person wrote to me personally, said something pleasant and left it there. Nice start! Dr. Rachna Jain, who studies the psychology of social media, says, “When people see you more, they like you more. The shorthand is that familiarity breeds likeability. Especially if you’re seen as giving them value or good content or information.”
#2: Givers Gain
The world of social media changes faster than the Clippers change coaches. But some things never change—like the golden rule of networking (social or otherwise).
The golden rule?Givers gain. (Bet you figured that out from the section header.)
As Dr. Jain said, “…especially if you’re seen as giving them value or good content or information.” How? Share a white paper. Share a relevant piece of research. Invite them to a private local business event. Remember, starting relationships can take many touches. Do this right, and people will perceive you as valuableeven before you interact with them personally (which we’re getting to), and you boil the frog at the same time.
#3: Make Henry Kissinger Proud
There’s an old story that’s been told and retold about how Henry Kissinger approached getting the best out of his staff. Before reviewing anything from his people, he’d ask, “Before I look at this… is it your best work?“, and the staff would go back and keep working until they could say yes.
When reaching out through social media, give it your Henry Kissinger effort.
As president of a company and publisher of a reader publication (RainToday), we have about 150,000 subscribers and followers. And they reach out to me fairly regularly and want to connect.
Many of them remain strangers because they made no effort to relate to me. A standard, “my products would be of value” overture does not catch anyone’s attention. No personalization… no genuine connection. Even something better than bad would be good.
But every once in a while, someone reaches out with real effort, energy and thoughtfulness—the kind that would make Henry Kissinger proud. Here’s an example of how one gentleman started a conversation:
This example goes on with several more paragraphs explaining our connections and reasons for why we might both be interested in connecting. This contact effort was obviously customized and it resonated well with me.

* I reveal 2 of my own money making sites as examples for you to inspect and replicate. This is HUGE!
Module 1
(how to find the right niche)
In this module I show you on video how I find and choose a real live niche. I also tell you why I am choosing these specific products. All of the sites that's making money for me have similar things in common when it comes to the products. I tell you what these characteristics are so you don't have to figure it out yourself through trial and error like I had too.
Module2
(how I do keyword research with Market Samurai)
This is probably the most important module. In the past I've had many sites ranking on the first page of Google only to find that there's either not traffic for that keyword or there is traffic but nobody is buying. This is no fun and almost caused me to quit IM a few times.
In this module I am going to teach you how to do proper keyword research and also how to analyze the competition properly.
Unfortunately most people commit IM suicide by getting this step wrong.
I'll reveal some advanced SEO Analysis techniques that you can use to spot niches where the main keywords looks super competitive on the surface but if you dig deeper you'll discover that you can beat them fairly easily and get all that traffic.
