The movement The culture
The social web is all abuzz The future of marketing is here.
SocialeGuide.com is about the people, the products,
the technology and the global socialization that is shaping our new interactive web 2.0 world.
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
We are on the forefront of something truly amazing. We have the opportunity to be Social Media Rock
Stars!
To master social media marketing, we must be highlyvisible in the sea of web personalities that exist.
Many are trying to make their mark and stake their claim on the social web. They are trying to be “recognized” as an authority on this and an expert at that.
But It’s not easy.
You are told to do all the right things and provide value and content all over the place but the truth is it takes a little something extra.
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
What is your Social Marketing Plan?
Have you outlined your objectives
and tactical procedures
for making it happen?
Or are you to busy being
Real Authentic Transparent Socialites*
*Rat Race, Rat Pack lol

What is Social Marketing?
Social marketing is about using social media and social networks and combining it with personal branding & internet marketing
techniques.
Social marketing is for people who are interested in marketingthemselves, their company, product or service in social mediums
online.
It is also about representing yourself in the best light possible and providing a valuable service to the social community online in theway you “give back” and make a difference in people’s lives.
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
Why create SocialeGuide.com?
I created this social marketing magazine and blog network because I knew
so many people were “new” to this new way of doing business & networking
socially online and they need the right information and education.
And because people were asking:
o What’s the best social network site to be active on?o What is social media and how do I use it effectively?o What is a blog and should I really have one?o What are the best products to use to achieve ______?o What coach/mentor/trainer/consultant should I trust?o What is the best marketing strategy for my company?o What is the best way to make a couple extra bucks a month?o What is the best way to improve my life in business, health & wealth?
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
SocialeGuide.com is about:
Providing resources. I want to have many resources to share in one place so that when someone is looking for that one thing, they can find us thru Google or by word of mouth.
Educating the masses with the great quality content that is being provided by coaches, mentors, trainers, authors, speakers and entrepreneurs.
Helping people to improve their marketing and business skills using social networking, social media, internet marketing, small business and entrepreneurial training.
The people who practice and master social media marketing. There are so many unique individuals with different areas and topics to research and learn from.
Giving credit to all the wonderful people who are out there teaching, mentoring and inspiring other people to make positive changes in their personal and business life.
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
Why will people go to SocialeGuide.com?
People will go there to learn, to develop trust and to form relationships. If we are
able to provide a valuable and reliable service, we will develop an audience.
We already have ready, willing and waiting audiences on Facebook and Twitter.
It is now time to educate and engage them outside of those places.
We must also attract and engage visitors from the search engines who are not our
friends yet. The global world on the internet has an insane amount of people.
But most people do not like to visit individual blogs. They do not want to rely
on the opinion and point of view of just one individual.
But if you can offer them a place to get multiple opinions, writing styles and distinct personalities, you will keep their attention and they will stay and participate.
Especially when they see other people engaging and joining in conversations.
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
Why we should work together:
Because we won’t fail if we plan together.
We will recognize, respect and acknowledge each other’s strengths and special niches.
So that we can brand ourselves as individual members of a unique society of
professionals who effectively use the power of social media and social networking
to market socially online.
Because together we can drive enough traffic to one social marketing portal and be
recognized there as contributing editors who are on the cutting edge of marketing socially
online.

Brand Yourself Blog Powerhouse
Blogs57 million American adults read blogs. That is 39 percent of all internet users in the U.S.
As people turn away from t.v., newspapers and magazines to the daily content that is available from bloggers, the opportunity exists to find a way to organize all the abundant amount of free content floating around the internet.
By nature, blogs have specific subjects with specific audiences. Advertisers have recognized these new and exciting opportunities and are spending a lot of money on blog advertising because it is highly targeted, effective and entirely measurable.
For the first time in history, it is not only possible but also simple and cheap to “publish” content constantly in a manner that is accessible anywhere in the world. How incredibly awesome is that?
Anyone with the ability to put together interesting quality content on a consistent basis has the ability to earn thousands of dollars per year in advertising, affiliate programs and memberships.
As a result of this, new and original content is flooding the web and creating an internet renaissance. Article and content art if you will. Beautifully written pieces are shared all over the world and admired from person to person.
To be successful a blog must provide a valuable service. I am certain that our blogs and our chosen topics, will provide many services.
What makes a blog successful?
A profitable blog must have three main features:
A steady stream of content A large audience A reliable revenue source
Socialeguide.com will have all 3!
It has the secret sauce, the magic formula for success.
How can we lose?
WE WILL SMOKE THE COMPETITIONThe social marketing arena and the blogosphere may seem crowded at first glance but every topic has unexplored niches.Do your homework to find the one that suits you.
But there is little to no competition for us out there.
Singles blogs with one author are no comparison to several respected, well spoken, inspiring and intelligent social bloggers.
Our blog will be so unique because although it will be focused,there will be so many areas and niches that we can reach in to. Blogs are LOVED by the search engines and this is true for most single blogs but imagine the traffic generated by a SUPER blog, a blog with many users who are providing valuable, focused and helpful information on a consistent, reliable and responsible basis.
Do you blog ?
Right now there are some great notes (future blog posts) on Facebook and the only place they
get seen is on Facebook notes. How many of you are also posting that same note to your blog?
But even when you post it on your blog, you won’t get that many comments.
Want to know why?
Because people think they won’t get seen there.
Many people don’t comment on your blog because most people don’t find your blog.
How could they? You are not distributing consistent content to bring traffic.
But what if there was a site that was neutral & belonged to many editors and a network of professionals
as opposed to just being one person’s blog?
People will go to socialeguide.com to read news, articles and reviews and they will find
there way to your blog .
We have to deserve and earn traffic and attention. We must earn those eyeballs.
We must engage and educate. Together we will achieve true blogging success!
So I figured the best way to get huge
amounts of traffic and comment participation,
is to put that great energy into socialeguide.com
which will be a community-run social
networking and social media blog powerhouse.
SocialeGuide.comSocial Marketing Magazine & Authority Blog Network
But I Need You!
We need editors:
Because socialeguide.com will be a multi- user multi- blog magazine,
we need people to write articles and provide content.
Because we are a network of professionals who specialize in chosen
fields and special niches and have a great opportunity to share our
talents with the world.
So that your voice will be heard and your opinion valued and
so it is you that they trust to guide them and educate and inspire them.
You will be the authority and expert.

But…..
We can only pick a select group of “editors” in 25 - 30 different categories.We will have specific categories and sub categories (or niches) for you to choose from.First come, first served. Get your spot before your category (niche) is taken.
Wait…You should know what a editor is expected to do.
It is highly suggested that you:
Blog 1-3x per week. Or everyday or every other day. Frequency is best to achieve maximum traffic results. Log on everyday and write a post, note, add pics, video, suggest a link to a website or respond to comments. Make it just one more place you visit daily like Facebook and Twitter. Not too much time is needed. Provide other forms of new media like:•Podcasts Mp3’s Video•Pictures Presentations E-books
Fill out your profile and editor’s pages.
I’ve simplified the process by creating hand coded page templates.
Place an editor’s badge or link to http://yourname.SocialeGuide.com on your Facebook
profile, your blog, website & everywhere else. Post your links where the most people are at.
Promote, advertise and market the hell out of this site, everywhere and to everyone!

Use RSS feeds, trackbacks & links to other bloggers. Bloggers are our friends.
Search engines love when we make friends. I will provide you with continual education, information and tutorials about blogging, search engine optimization and monetization.
It is highly suggested that you, (cont’d):

Roles
Subscriber
For those who choose not to get their own blog but want to have access tomember’s only areas and have the ability to comment, etc. Important for all blog sign-ups:Be prepared to write your first post upon signing up. It could be anything, it doesn’t
matter.
There is a very important reason for this. If you sign up for a blog, your site is then live.
If you don’t make a post it is possible that your Hello World post (wordpress default first post
for all new blogs) will show up on the front page of socialeguide.com and we don’t think
that will look too cute. Hope this makes sense.
Themes*In an attempt to control the look and consistency of the entire site, all themes except
the main theme will be disabled.
We are telling people that you are editors or that you write for socialeguide.com
If they came and saw many different themes and looks, not only is it visually distracting
but it gives us a lack of credibility.

Editors, How much for this JV?
You pay this much - $0
( I hope that’s not too much to ask for? )
It’s 100%
Why?
Because:
I want you to help me and I will help you,
so together we will all help each other.
I could charge a monthly membership or
one-time fee because it’s that valuable.
But I won’t charge you anything because
that’s not how I plan to make money.
SocialeGuide.com will make money with:
Ads Sponsors Affiliate Programs Digital products Consulting Search engine traffic monetization Business/corporate marketing Advertising promotions Paid reviews
I will put in the time and hard work and get
the monetary rewards, eventually.
I don’t’ believe in Get Rich Quick Rubbish.
Years of hard knocks has knocked that
notion right out of me.
So that’s it!
My Up-Front “All in your Face ” Disclosure.
I plan to make money and so will you!
