<p>Happy Oscar night!</p>
<p>Just to clarify something and let you in on a little secret&#8230;</p>
<p>(I rarely watch television since I got started online a little less than 3 years ago,<br />
but even I couldn&#8217;t resist tonight.)</p>
<p>Not that that&#8217;s relevant, but I wanted to share something that is RELEVANT.</p>
<p>Lately there has been much discussion whether Twitter &amp; Social Media is still<br />
worth spending time on, and whether or not it is converting or not.</p>
<p>YES, it&#8217;s true that Social Media is constantly evolving and changing,<br />
and there is one thing for certain&#8230;</p>
<p>If you are currently NOT on Twitter, Youtube or Facebook for example, with<br />
a unified online presense,  your personal and or company brand may be in jeopardy.</p>
<p>The reason you may ask?</p>
<p>These sites are NOT going anywhere at least any time soon. They are still<br />
an incredibly powerful cementing tool to help you increase your profits,<br />
results and to increase your brand presence online.</p>
<p>You see people aren&#8217;t likely to visit your website everyday no matter how<br />
famous you are or how much valuable content you create.</p>
<p>The reason that reality shows became so huge is because people love to see the<br />
behind the scenes&#8230;</p>
<p>Just like the Oscars tonight on Twitter, with the stars, the fashion , and all<br />
the excitement.</p>
<p>Twitter for example is strengthening The Oscars &#8220;Brand&#8221;  creating an even bigger<br />
BUZZ with social media and guess what it&#8217;s F*REE.</p>
<p>TRANSPARENCY and being in the conversation is key, and connecting with your<br />
target audience.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not suggesting you spend all day socializing on social media sites without<br />
taking ACTION in your business&#8230; because nothing without action will give you<br />
the results you truly desire.</p>
<p>What I am suggesting is that If you&#8217;re not currently leveraging ALL these mediums<br />
I hate to say it, you&#8217;re leaving money on the table&#8230;</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re not seen all over the place and giving your prospects the opportunity<br />
to connect with you via ALL these powerful social media tools then just like in<br />
Hollywood&#8230; it&#8217;s like OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND.</p>
<p>(and I don&#8217;t want that to happen to you as there has never been an opportunity<br />
to leverage social media and technology to grow your business this FAST)</p>
<p>When you set up your social media channels CORRECTLY ,( like I love to teach my<br />
students) , it&#8217;s like winning an Oscar in your market.</p>
<p>Your fans and prospects will LOVE you and already feel like they know you<br />
because of your conversations on your Social Media sites.</p>
<p>When I say your TARGET audience, It&#8217;s NOT about the number of followers you<br />
have it&#8217;s about connecting with your real Fans. This also demonstrates the<br />
power of the 80/20 Pareto Principle (where 20% of your efforts will produce<br />
80% of your results)</p>
<p>Your true fans and customers will create 80% of your profits, so why would you<br />
not leverage the power of social media to increase your visibility in your market<br />
and ATTRACT your ideal clients?</p>
<p>The doors to my Social Media Traffic Blueprint Program have been closed for months<br />
now and after many requests to re-open the doors, I have been working behind<br />
the scenes to UPDATE, ADD to &amp;  CREATE even more cutting edge strategies<br />
to help you increase your results in your business.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for my announcement shortly where I will Reveal the NEW<br />
&#8221; Social Media Traffic Blueprint 2.0&#8243;</p>
<p>a hint&#8230;it&#8217;s all about getting to the &#8220;next level&#8221; with Social Media &amp; Video <img src='http://mariaandros.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Until then Happy Oscars night and talk soon!</p>
