How to Create a Content Distribution Plan

If you want to be an effective and efficient content marketer, anything you do, you must have a plan for it. It is not enough to simply create good content. Without an effective content distribution plan, the content may not be too helpful in your marketing activities. It is great to plan your topics, write your content, confirm the quality of the content, optimize the content but when you hit “publish”, what comes next? Content distribution of course! That is hugely important for the success of your marketing efforts. After creating your content, you must have a good plan to distribute it multi-platform. That helps to get as many eyes on it as conveniently possible. You may choose to do your distribution manually or through popular online content distribution tools like Buffer or Hootsuite. Next is to be sure that the places you distribute your content will be helpful in its sharing and engagement.

Below are some of such places you can share your content to generate more traffic, views, leads and engagement.
•  Twitter
•  LinkedIn
•  Google Ads

•  Facebook Ads
•  Instagram posts or stories
•  Email list/newsletter

Great Technique to Strengthen Your Downline

 Let us take a look at the “five future PTLs plan.” No doubt you know that you are in business to grow and there is no limit to that growth. To my mind, having your first five future PTLs is just the beginning of that growth. That is just the first group. You can develop many more. Can you imagine the exponential growth in your business if you have such groups in 2, 3, 4, or even 5 or more? Phew!! That will be some real business explosion and affiliates like that will be forcing SFI to search for more Team Leadership positions higher than Diamond and Platinum.

My advice is that you should do all you can to keep developing more first-level stars for reasons mentioned above. Keep on trucking, you can show us all the way to a real business explosion if you keep at it with a single-minded focus.

I do hope you will find this technique helpful.

Good luck!!!

 

 

Why You Must Start Where You Are

There is nothing you are looking for you can’t get around you if you look hard enough. The grass may appear greener on the other side of the fence but in reality, all grass looks green and it is green. Maintenance may however make the grass on the other side of the fence greener. That is up to you to either take steps to maintain your own grass or to keep envying your neighbor’s.

Even if you set out to make money, the place to begin is right where you are. A good plan, determination and smart work will enable you make money right where you are. Always remember that the great American Auto-maker Henry Ford started small and right where he found himself. You too can do great things right where you are. Just begin, and you will be well on your way to making it too.

Learn to Plan and Prepare to Avoid Failure

“Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win.” -- Vince Lombardi

In business, sports and many other human endeavors, preparation is a must otherwise all efforts will be in vain. Preparation inspires confidence and the will to succeed. Your plans point the way to the desired goal and act as a guide to attaining such goals. If your plans are good, succeeding requires less effort. If you plan big, you will achieve big. “A bad plan is better than no plan.” No pilot ever takes off in his plane without a flight plan. No General ever leads an army into battle without a battle plan. Nature and creation are all according to God’s plans. Do you know why the universe is in such perfect harmony? As the Holy Qur’an reveals, “God is the best planner” that is why. Before you embark on any venture, it is imperative to plan and prepare. Many times, I have met young people who tell me they are looking for a job. When I ask them, “what type of job are you looking for?” The most ridiculous answer I keep receiving whenever I ask this question is “any job.” There is no job called “any job” so such people usually search and never find “any” because it does not exist. If you want a job, decide firmly on what you want. Put all the plans in place to land you the job before you commence the search. Without definite plans, job hunters in most cases always hunt in vain. A directionless and drifting Ship never gets to port. Lack of adequate planning yields similar results. “Nothing great has ever been achieved without a plan.” 

Michael Jordan made his name playing basketball and has won almost every available prize anyone can win in basketball circuit. That he had a passion for the game is not in doubt. That he enjoyed playing the game is also not in doubt. What is however surprising is that he was not such a good player at the beginning. He could not make his High School team because his Coach considered him not good enough. This singular act spurred Michael to develop a bigger liking for the sport by using every spare-time he had on the courts practicing basketball. He planned, prepared and dreamed of becoming a star. He wanted to prove to his Coach that he made a mistake by dropping him from the school team. He followed his plans and moved on with passion to become a superstar making millions of dollars for himself in the process. His fame and fortune were a direct result of his meticulous planning and preparation.

You Must Plan and Prepare for 2017

Getting ready is one potent way you can stave off getting left behind in a highly competitive business world. 2017 won’t be any different and if anything, businesses are going to get more competitive. Even if you have no concrete plans, it helps if you draw up a list of intentions for 2017.  This is because intentions are the fluid visions and goals of what we want to happen in our lives. You can draw up a very realistic list of the intentions you have and want to happen in the coming year. That done, you have to prepare yourself, fine tune your execution plan and be ready for things to happen, cause they will if you are strategic, serious and consistent.  

Set, plan, prepare, point and go! 2017 here we come! Hurray, we know we will do well in the year because we realize that:

Change happens

We anticipate change

We will monitor change

We will adapt to change quickly

We will indeed change

We will enjoy change

And we will be ready to change quickly again and again as things shape out all through 2017.

And so shall it be!!!!!
