Why u should give a flip about spreading the "luv"

Hey guys and gals,

I'm getting almost NO posts about the spread the love comments in my email. Even though I see lots of people on the blog.

What's up?

This is NOT about dating....good grief...someone apparently did NOT read my article and thought this was about dating....it's about CARING for your customers and people.

It's about connecting....brotherly sorta type love....NOT DATING folks.

Sheez.

Here's why you should give a flying flip about it....

It's about JOINT VENTURES...do you get it? Folks....You meet people...see their pix...read their profile...you CONNECT.

Get this: You can proactively INVITE every single possible person who would have the potential of being a good JV partner to be your friend.

What's MORE, you can FEATURE them on your HOME PAGE of MySpace. That's called a stroke. It's recognition. Everyone LOVES recognition!

Go out. Look up people who would be good JV partners by clicking the SEARCH link at the top of MySpace and search for their name.

Then under their picture, you'll see the contact box. There will be a link for ADD or FRIEND. Click that and it'll send them a request to link to you.

In your settings, you can change to displaying your TOP 24 friends...that's what you want...as many as humanly possible featured on the front page...right now that's 24...I'm trying to hack it to find a way to do more.

NEXT: After they add you as a friend go to their MySpace site and scroll through all the comments to the VERY BOTTOM and click "add comment."

Add your comment...a nice compliment to your potential JV partner. Do this sincerely.....don't b.s. Meet people you like...Find common interests in their profiles.

That means u spread the luv. You read their profile. You take an interest in them as PERSON. There's too much blasting out going on in bulletins and stuff....stuff that is meaningless.

You don't BLAST...you SERVE. You serve by offering a free report...or a useful list or see of free tips. You don't just blast out sales pitches in the bulletins section of MySpace. It's about relationships...not mass marketing.

And yeah, dog, that DO translate N2 MONEY. Joint ventures. People sending out emails to sell your stuff. It's just not a 10 minute push the button software. THAT is why it lasts.

Everything that lasts is ultimately built on relationships. That's profound if you think about it...that's why spread the luv IS about MONEY.

The one thing that totally annoys me is I'd have all kinds o comments here if I sent out an email about "How I made $1,000,000 blasting bulletins to people on MySpace." Oh my gosh. Can you imagine?

It'd be the next big hot thang.

That is just WACKO.

Do YOU wanna be blasted? Or do you wanna have some SEMBLANCE of a relationship with someone who has at least an IOTA of care about something other than your POCKETBOOK?

Well, others are the same way.

That's why I say...stop blasting your customers so much (if you are) and serve a little more. Love a little more. Care a little more. Yeah, it ain't as sexy as the asian girls on my site. Nor as sexy as making 1 million blasting out bulletins.

But in the end, the value lasts.

Spread the luv.
