This is part two of Secret to Getting Rich on the Internet , series. If you haven’t read part one, you probably should do that first. So if you are reading this you probably read last week’s post, where I promised that I would reveal a secret tactic that can make you rich on the internet. Before i do that, I want to talk about secrets in general for a moment. Quite honestly, most “secrets”on the internet are BS. This is because oftentimes they are bits of knowledge and advice that seem obvious to many, but practiced by few. This is generally because the best tactics are the ones that don’t show their true value until you have years of experience trying them out. Many of the most valuable “secret” tactics (including the one below) are things that many of us do everyday but are not aware of it. And the secret is… Building strong relationships with the people that matter most . Building strong relationships has historically been the cornerstone of success. Sometimes the internet and social media fools us into thinking that we can do anything we want without anyone’s help. If you think that, you are dead wrong. No one lives on an island–we all work and play in the same cyberspace. Building strong relationships can be a powerful tactic in advancing your personal and professional life because it enables other people to feel empowered when you succeed. The only downside to this tactic is, to do it effectively, you have to focus on the people that matter most. People that matter most?? Don’t all people matter? Unfortunately if you are going to use relationship building as a tactic you have to segment people effectively in order to get the most out of your effort. In short, you can’t be friends with everyone! So who matters and who doesn’t? For each person this may be different, but I like to break people down into two groups. People that are excited about what you are doing should be your first target for building relationships. When people are excited about something they generally tend to talk about it early on, and then as their interest passes they find something else. If you can effectively build a solid relationship with that person then you will be at the forefront of their thoughts as long as you keep the relationship alive. They will then turn into your strongest brand advocates because they want to see you succeed. People that you want to be excited about what you are doing should be your second target. These are the folks that are maybe influential in your industry. They are the ones that can help spread your vision into other networks that you aren’t a part of yet. Or they might just be the person that you know would truly benefit in what you are doing. So now we know which types of folks to target, the real question is how do we actually build these strong relationships? Well, I think that’s a topic for another post, but one way to start learning how to develop strong relationships is to follow a few folks, that I saw in Vegas, that are amazing relationship builders.

Online ads might be working well for news sites , but YouTube is always looking for a bigger piece of the online video advertising pie. As of today, Google is testing skippable ads on YouTube, as part of its ongoing search for the “right” way to monetize the most popular video site on the web. The test will run with videos from content partners who have opted in to the program. The preroll ads will feature a link to skip through the ad and go straight to the video content. MediaPost says that this test will provide Google with a demographic break down of their audience for high quality ads: The test that determines if and when people watch the video clips will provide Google with insight into the type of person who may skip an ad, what type of ad they might skip, and what piece of content does better than another. Google also will look at whether some ads are skipped in a specific portion of the session. Does the person skip the ad in the first video versus the third during a 30-minute time slot while on YouTube? This information could be assembled into another ad method: “The model is cost per engagement, where advertisers would only pay for opt-in engaged views of the ads.” Phil Farhi, product manager at Google’s YouTube, mentions that the promoted videos model is another example in this area, and in the future, there could be a model where advertisers only pay for complete plays of their ads. They’re also comparing TV ads vs. video ads created specifically for online audiences. Generally, television ads take 30 seconds to make sure viewers get the message, image and contact/purchase information (call to action). Online, the call to action can run along side the video, in accompanying text that remains after the ad is over, they can use direct links or other methods. What do you think? Will you skip ads on YouTube? Could this finally be the way to monetize YouTube?
By Fredrickus Williford of CalTweet – Follow him @blackmediaprop With Twitter implementing the new “report for spam” button that has been buzzing as a trending topic around the Twittersphere this article is right on time. Stalkers beware: Twitter isn’t therapy it will only increase the number of people you’re following. After reading below you will understand that the first step to improving your Twitter behavior is to admit that you have a problem and slim down on the people you’re following. Here’s 5 reasons why Twitter builds a healthy appetite for stalking: 1. It encourages you to follow people you are already clearly obsessed with. Early warning signs of a stalker to be. 2. It gets fans one step closer to celebrities & high profile internet entrepreneurs. Twitter has to be the only social network that celebrities actually use themselves… at least that what appears to be going on behind these famous Twitter handles. 3. Service is down just as much as it is available. It goes down (very often) without notice and forces you to find other ways to keep up with the people you stalk follow. 4. The fact that you have to constantly type in the person your @mentioning creates a recurring cycle in your brain of repetition of the person you’re stalking following on Twitter. 5. Last but not least. After so many @mentions and DM’s to the stalkee with no signs of them knowing you exist it forces the follower/stalker to find other means of getting the stalkee to acknowledge there 140 characters of Twitter love. That’s where the All NEW “report @insertstalkername for spam” will come in use. Make sure you read over the above reasons and make sure you’re not at fault or showing early warning signs of becoming an e-stalker. If all else fails we know who to blame.

5 Reasons Twitter Creates Stalkers
By Zoey Dowling . Follow her @zoeyspeak . Twitter is a bright, shiny universe of new friends, new ideas, hilarious little snippets and occasionally even a spot of news. It’s a great way to promote your blog or your business. But if your primary purpose on twitter is promotion and not to connect with other people – abandon ship. Twitter is not for you. Ulterior motives don’t do well. They result in one action: UNFOLLOW. Mistakes are easy when you start out. After all, no-one is updating their status – they’re engaging with one another! And that’s confusing – is it private or can you join in? How do you make the most of it and have fun? Well for starters you could avoid the most irritating twitter behaviours. And before you start trawling through my twitter stream – yes I have committed most of them. 1. Gluttony (Over-Sharing) Do not, I repeat do not over-share. Do you really want to know about someone else’s digestive problems? I didn’t think so. When you went into graphic detail about your gastric flu did you consider all the people reading your tweets while they were eating? Your followers should be wanting to know more about you, not less. 2. Pride (Over-Promotion) People get pretty sick of you if all they here are continual, duplicated plugs for whatever it is that you’re promoting. The argument that some of your followers may have missed it because of the timing doesn’t hold water. It’s extremely irritating to see exactly the same tweet repeated. Get creative and find a way to send the same link in a different way. For example “my loyal follower has just commented at my blog, what do you think?” And yes over-promotion includes blathering about blog stats, follower numbers or fans. 3. Sloth (Automatic Anything) Anything that is automated means that you don’t care enough to make it personal. This includes automated DM messages for new followers, an automatic tweet in response to keywords or an auto-follow in response to keywords. This puts you squarely into the spambot category. If you don’t want to spend the time on twitter to be personal, don’t bother at all. 4. Greed (Not Engaging) Things get pretty boring pretty fast if all you do is update your status, post links, post pictures and promote your blog. In order for people to care about any of that, you need to engage with them. This involves replying when something sparks your interest, or you think you can be of help; re-tweeting where you can add value; and getting involved in the discussion. 5. Envy (Crashing the Party) Work out the difference between joining the discussion and crashing someone’s private conversation. If a tweet starts with @user it generally means it’s not for public debate because if the author wanted everyone they follow to see it there would be another character in front of the @user to make it visible to everyone. But if you really want to participate in the discussion at the very least acknowledge that you’re crashing. It’s less douchey that way. 6. Wrath (Blasting) I don’t care how passionate you are about your topic, there is no excuse for blasting. There is nothing wrong with how passionate you are and that passion will probably lead you to find many like-minded people on twitter. But (and it’s a big but), ramming your opinion down someone else’s throat when they don’t agree with you is no way to promote your cause or yourself – particularly if you haven’t taken the time to get to know the person at the end of your rant. I’m sorry activists but twitter isn’t really designed for you because you end up unleashing the bulk of your argument about a theory on one person. Not really fair is it? 7. Lust (Celebrity Stalking) Everyone loves to follow a celebrity or two. Nothing wrong with that. Although fair warning if you follow @mrskutcher and @aplusk you will have to witness some pretty treacly interchanges. It’s not the celebrity part that is the problem it’s all of their followers. If you say anything at all that could be vaguely interpreted as negative, be prepared for all of their followers to be all over you like a rash. In part because celebrities are so idolised but mostly because deep down their followers are thinking that by attacking you, ‘the hater’, the celebrity will acknowledge them, and might actually follow them back. So avoid the lemmings, they’re not worth it. © 2008 TwiTip Twitter Tips . 7 Deadly Sins of Twitter

7 Deadly Sins of Twitter
By Mary Rose Maguire – Follow her @MRMaguire When you first join Twitter, it’s a slightly crazy world filled with celebrities, “wannabe-celebrities,” multi-level marketing folks (”Make money from home today!”), major brands, regular folks, and every kind of spammer you can imagine. It’s easy to spot those who will not add anything of value to your stream. On Twitter, you have three choices when someone follows you: 1) Follow them back. 2) Don’t follow them back but allow them to continue to see your tweets. 3) Block them, in which case they won’t be able to see your tweets and will not show up in your “followers” list. Usually, most people decide not to return-follow an account. Sometimes when you’re new, following back can make your follower list look more robust. Other times, you may not really care if a realtor from Alaska is following you but since you live in Hawaii and have no intention of ever moving to Alaska, you’re not following them back. Then there are “those accounts.” These are the accounts that may annoy you according to your own set of beliefs. For instance, I block all porn accounts. I also block the “get-rich-quick” accounts. I’m usually careful about whom I follow back, checking their bio page and recent set of tweets. You may be a huge sports fan but hate the Giants. If someone with an account like @GiantsLovah started to follow you, they might get blocked. So we know there are valid reasons to block people. But sometimes you may get blocked by someone you know, which can get tricky. I recently was blocked by someone I know. Not only do I know them, I have helped them on Twitter by giving them information they had requested. And, they live in my town. We travel within some of the same networking circles. We’re not closelikethis but I’ve sent personal responses to this person and received personal tweets back. I noticed the block after I answered a question they posed and quite frankly, my answer was very brief and as far as I could tell, far from being offensive. To say I was surprised was an understatement. Assuming that this wasn’t a glitch with a third-party application, I’ll explain some of the drawbacks of blocking people who know you. The Unknown Factor – You have no idea who they know, who they network with, or who they connect with on a regular basis. I’m a connector. There are few things that bring me more joy than playing “matchmaker” business-wise. When I attend networking events, I collect cards and write on the back who their “perfect client” would be. I keep my eyes and ears open for those who could use their services. When someone I know blocks me, they’ve essentially blocked off potential connections. The “Bad Taste” Factor – Getting blocked by someone who knows you isn’t pleasant. You’re not sure whether it’s personal or not. As a professional, you don’t want to jump to conclusions, yet the fact remains you’ve been blocked. The person who blocked me is selling something. I’ve actually referred several people to what this person is selling but do you think I’ll do it in the future? Nope. Reputational Risk – This is becoming a bigger issue as more brands jump on Twitter, only to find there are some people who don’t think they’re the hottest thing since sliced bagels. You may have employees that TWS (tweet while stupid) and show your brand in a bad light. We all have brands, whether we work for a large corporation or we’re a solopreneur. When you block someone who knows you and/or runs in the same business circles, you’ve placed your reputation on dangerous ground. I’m not someone who spreads malicious gossip but that’s me. However, there are people who would take such a situation and bad-mouth the person at every opportunity. For many years, I’ve lived by the adage my father gave me long ago: Be nice to those you meet on your way up because you may meet them again on your way down. You may be a rising star today, but in ten years when you’re in a new industry; the job you’re interviewing for may be given by the person you blocked today. People have long memories when it comes to those who offended them. I remember the first time I was blocked. I was still a “newbie” and had made an erroneous decision to respond to a “Twitterati” (Twitter celebrities who have thousands of followers) with an opinion that was controversial. You can only express yourself so far within 140 characters and some beliefs simply cannot fit into such a short space. I wanted to explain myself further but lost the opportunity after the person sent me a private message, blasting me. I still apologized, but realized I could no longer see their tweets. That was my introduction to blocking. Although I’ve since discovered this person was rude and vicious to others, I learned an important lesson. If you tweet for business, stay away from potentially controversial issues, especially those having to do with politics or religion. Even if I know a person well, I won’t tweet about such issues professionally. There are too many ways to be misunderstood and besides, you want people to focus on how your business can help them. So before you quickly click the “block” button, consider the consequences. Overlooking backhanded compliments or more obvious insults will only shine a positive light on you. Others will notice you’ve shown some class and taken the high road. I’m not advocating being someone’s verbal punching bag, but if they just tweeted something you may not agree with, send a direct message instead to open up a dialogue. Relationships are more important than ever in today’s business world, and you can work Twitter to your advantage by building them. Open doors, not blocked ones, will lead to success. © 2008 TwiTip Twitter Tips .
