I Know What You Did Last Summer
9/30/2010 1:59:16 PM

I know what you did last summer OR 10 things I Know Because You joined Adlandpro.

When we came to Adlandpro no doubt you like myself were overwhelmed with so much technology and happenings. One hardly knows where to begin. When you signed up you were sent to the Edit Profile Wizard to fill in information. Because we are excited and not sure what this is all about, we type in our name and hurry on. After all we were told to come here and advertise. So off we go but where! ! ! . You see an inviting spot and throw out an ad. But wait, let's step back. Just sit back and get organized.

What are the goals? Sell my product. No find a market. No again, build a list and relationships. There you go. You have to start with a foundation to build on. You can throw all the ads in the air you want. Slap up some ads on forums which no one sees, put in comments and offend people, invite new friends and turn people off. So what's the alternative. Try building relationships.

That's community.

Let's start over. What are your goals? Find people who need my products. Wrong, find people. Wrong again. Let's start with the foundation idea again. In real life how do you make friends? Walk up to them and say "Hey, can I borrow $5" "Could you use an extra house guest this week-end". "Do you want me to come for dinner, I have extra tomatoes I can bring" How blunt is that?

SO HERE'S 10 THINGS I KNOW ABOUT YOU and what you did last summer.

1.Your name This is not a name: 1257RR or Business Inc. Already, I'm not interested in you. Goodbye

2. Location I see you are from China, that's nice. I would like friends from China as I want to travel there some day Wow, you are from Bejing. Your from Livonia Mich. great, my daughter was born there and I lived close by. My products are shipped all over the world. Need you on my list

3. Origin You were born in Detroit, good heavens, I'm coming next week. Wonder how the roads are?

4. Date Joined See you're new, would like to welcome you See you have been here for 3 years, certainly want you on my list you must know the ropes around here.

5, Male or Female Well that helps, at least there is a man or woman picture. Now when I am talking to Regie I know if you are a male or female. I would rather have you as my friend than a (?)

6 .Friends You have been here 3 years and have 6 friends. Your not a community person, you must be an affiliate or doing the Traffic Exchange.

7. Last Log In See you were here yesterday. You haven't been here for 6 years. Sorry, I didn't get sympathy card sent

8. Internet participation: Great I see you are on skype and facebook. Expect an invite. I need your help

9. About Me "I haven't written anything about myself yet". Guess you don't really want to get to know me. What you are in the same program I am in? We should connect and share ideas. You're a senior too, that means we need each others help with all this computer stuff. Wow, you have a program I could use. You are a retired what?

You like golfing? Golly my program has neat golfing equiptment. About Me, helps the viewer know what you need, who you are and what you can be to me.

10. Opened profile I see you are working here in the community. I think I'll join the forums you promote. Your friends list looks good, your friends are my friends. Comments, wait there is some porno type junk, and ads. You must not be paying much attention. Probably off still trying to find a place to put an ad.

Well there's the 10 things I know about you. But if I watch around the community I think I'll see more of what you are about. Your behavior speaks louder than your profile I might just pattern my participation after you or maybe avoid you like the plague. Think I'll contact you and see what I can do to help you and maybe we can swap some ideas. Oh no, you sent me an ad in response.You didn't have to do that I can see in your signature line more of what you are abou and what business you promote. Guess you really don't want to be friends after all. On we go looking for more people that want to network.

Well the summers over what are you going to do about it? For me I'm off to beef up my signature line. What about you?

Starting Over Suggestions

Complete and/or update "About Me"

Create an Ad ---Red Button

Buy some advertising

Now your looking good. Would you join my friends list.

Hey Mary,

This is a great forum, very informative. Your advice here is a good part of a roadmap to success here on Adland Pro and needs to be read and unerstood by people like me. To the initiated laggers, like me, it needs to be read more then once. Thank you, Rick

Mary this is really nice.
I can remember when the people in the programs were only names, now many of them are counted as friends. I will stop by something they are promoting, or when i am ready to join a program I will remember that my friend Marilyn or Mary or Sara is promoting that one-let me find their link-it's probably somewhere on their profile or I can shoot them an IM to ask.
Great job, as usual!

Hi Rick, even ol timers like you can gain from this advice. You know who I am talking to? You got it! ! ! ! ! Yes, that was for me. Who do I want people to think I am. Hopefully by updating some information, people will better know who I am.

By the way, I know what you did last summer. You joined my friends list and welcomed me back. You also have covered my back when I wasn't looking. So far, good friend you have sent me two mistakes I have made. What better friend could I have?

Have a great day. Stay on the high ground, hurricanes are a pain

Hi Joyce, yes I do count you as more than a contact. You have been walking beside me for quite some time

Be sure that Rick is on your list as he is now enduring the wrath of the hurricane. You can swap stories and tell him about how Katrina was worse than anyone he will hopefully ever endure.
