Where is the UNDERPRICED attention
I want to talk about using the underpriced
attention.
Now, as most of you probably have heard, I love following Gary
Vaynerchuk, who is a social media guru and he always says that before you're in
the business of selling your product or service, before you're in the business
of offering somebody your business opportunity, first of all, you're in the
attention business, right?
Because everybody is on their devices, everybody is on
their phones, on their computers, on their laptops. We are first of all have to
fight for that person's attention because people's attention span has shrunk to
like so much over the last 50 years or so. First of all, before we can sell or
do anything to somebody, or for somebody, we first of all have to get their attention,
we have to catch the person's attention and once you caught that attention then
you can offer your product your service, your business opportunity or whatever
it is that you have to offer.
So then when we start talking about new social Medias
coming in and we always laugh at them. I remember when Facebook appeared, and
everybody was saying, “Oh, I'm not going to use Facebook or it's stupid, it's
for kids.” Hey, everybody's on it right now. I remember when Instagram came
out, and again people said never, never and never. And loads of people are now
on Instagram right? Then I remember the Snapchat coming out and again,
everybody's laughing and now of course we have TikTok and again, right now; yes,
it's mainly kids’ mainly twerking, mainly doing all sorts of crazy stuff,
right? But guess what, what people do who get marketing. What people do who get
this attention business, they get on the new platforms very, very early. Why?
Because the attention on those platforms is much cheaper.
Think about if you wanted to do Facebook advertising
now, it would be quiet. It is expensive, right? I mean, I use Facebook
advertising all the time but it's fairly expensive, right? But when you go on a
new platform, very often you can get attention much cheaper or sometimes even
free organically because it's not that much people on it. Well, you have to
understand that marketers ruin everything. First of all, it was direct mail.
First,
every time we used to get a letter, we would open it and read it then marketers
realized, “Hey, why don't we just send advertising to people in their home?” And
they started sending direct mail advertising, and we stopped reading letters.
Now we sort our mail over the rubbish bin right with our commercial,
commercial, commercial, and we just throw stuff way, right? We don't open even
those letters, right? Because we know it's an advertisement and we don't care
about it. And companies still spend good money on that.
Next, it was email. Remember, when you used to open
every single email that came to your inbox? Now, I bet you get you got
thousands of unread emails in your inbox. Why? Because marketers have killed
email. At the beginning, somebody would advertise something over email, and you
would go, “Oh, my God, let me read that. Like it's so interesting.” Now we
stopped doing it. And same thing happens with every new technology.
And the
same thing happens with social media, something like Facebook comes out. And at
the beginning, organic reach is incredible. Whatever you put out there,
thousands of people see and the first people in the game usually get the
biggest reward, but over time, it gradually starts declining because more and
more people are on it, less and less attention you are receiving and therefore
you start getting less results. But that's where the advantage comes in. of
joining a new social media.
So whenever you see new social media jump on it, try
to make it work for you because you never know, that might be the social media
that's going to make you the millions. Right now, a lot of people go, “Well,
what if it doesn't last because hey, some social Medias appear and then they're
gone few months later.” Who cares? At least for that period of time that it was
active, you might get a lot of sales, you might get a lot of recruits, you know
what I mean?
So, invest a bit of time and effort when you see a
new social media appear, because I can guarantee you, you will get a lot
cheaper attention there. A lot bigger organic reach to begin with, until
millions of people join it and again, it's then overcrowded and killed.
