I posted this tip on Twitter: “#twittertip Our greatest yearning is for connection. Not another link to info. Connect with someone today”. This is one of the greatest cries of mankind. Why do you think that Twitter and Facebook have gotten as big as they have, if this were not true?

I love a good link that takes me to some information that I can use to move my business ahead. Even better is a conversation with you. I place greater value on this; far above any information that I could ever receive. Why? Information last for but a brief while. A relationship can last a lifetime and produce greater value.

To be really successful with Internet marketing/social media, you are going to have to place greater value on your connections, than your social media numbers. This is going to be a slower way to bring up your number of followers. In the end, as you do start to gain more momentum, people will see what you are like, and be truly attracted to you.

You will end up building something that will stand the test of time. People will get sick and tired of posting links. Friendships made over time will bring you great joy and even business referrals. Imagine the joy of meeting your friends who you have only met online. Imagine sharing stories face to face.

There is a saying…”The is a way that seems right to man, but in the end, it leads to death.” People are spending their time throwing links out in hope of catching fish. You need to be spending you time building relationships. In the end, you will be farther ahead than those you simply try to manipulate the system by throwing out links.

Now don’t get me wrong, sharing links is good when it is meant to be a benefit to others. It can even be used for attraction marketing. But it must never that the place of building relationships. We must value people and share our lives with them.

So connect with someone today and begin developing a good relationship with them. Make it a real good connection. Focus on this, not just for today; but build this into your life.
