“Pimping” vs. “Helping” – creating an army of Advocates

 June 17, 2011

By  Blaine Millet

I was interviewed on Chat with Women with the theme, “How to use social media the ‘right way’ to help grow your business.”

During this particular session, I was able to describe in some detail one of the core reasons for how NOT to use social media and HOW TO use social media so your audience actually wants to hear from you and values what you are saying.  This is the difference between “Pimping” yourself and “Helping” others get what they want.  This comes back to “leveraging” your advocates to be your spokesperson out in the market to your desired audience.  It is also about learning and using the simple concept of “Paying it Forward” which everyone understands and knows.

If you have been wondering either how to start using social media the “right way” or you have been wondering why you aren’t getting the “results you expected” from your current social media efforts, this will definitely shed some light on an approach that is as old as time but now can be leveraged and “amplified” using the power of Social Media.  I hope you enjoy the discussion with Pam and Rochelle and me.  Please feel free to leave a comment about your thoughts or anything else you feel would be helpful to others…

  1. obviously like your web-site however you have to
    take a look at the spelling on several of your posts.
    Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the reality on the other hand I will certainly come back again.
