Un pastor que sabe mostrarse real en la iglesia sabe generar un ambiente seguro, no cómodo, pero que contagia a todos los demás a ser reales. Ser vulnerables conecta a las personas, fomenta la gracia y procura la ayuda genuina. Gracias Carlos y Cyn por esa platica tan interesante y por compartir la cena con nosotros, somos bendecidos.

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 103, from October 2013. Cynthia Sanchez launched Oh So Pinteresting in February 2012 and after a few months she was approached by a company and asked if she would not only help them with Pinterest but also manage their social media accounts. In September 2012, Cynthia left her job as full time radiation oncology nurse to focus on growing Oh So Pinteresting and her new social media business. Just like the medical world, social media is ever evolving and changing. It requires continuous study to stay up to date on the latest methods and products. Since launching the blog, Cynthia spends time taking courses and attending several conferences a year focused on social media. In growing and marketing her own business, she has had to learn multiple social media platforms and how to create content for them. Cynthia writes the content for the blog, produces her own podcast, records videos and creates graphics. Cynthia uses her experience as a nurse to help her empathize with clients. She continues this approach in her business and encourages clients to take the same approach in their social media marketing. For fun, aside from exploring the usefulness of Pinterest, Cynthia enjoy traveling with her family, which consists of two sets of twins, crafting, and learning photography.

If you’re in the United States, you’re being bombarded with “back-to-school” advertising. I decided to put my own spin on the back-to-school theme by sharing 8 free and low-cost resources you can use for professional development to help you launch, manage, and expand your yarn-related business. Here’s a preview of the 8 ways you can take advantage of these free or inexpensive resources: Use your local, regional, or federal small business development center Read Connect with colleges and universities Apprentice or barter skills with a master crafter Participate in a blog challenge Take a video course Listen to a podcast Volunteer or speak at an event 1. Use your local, regional, and federal small business development centers As a small business owner, you may be entitled to free support services from the government. These services may include workshops, free clinics with legal or tax professionals, or one-to-one business counseling. Check out the Small Business Administration Learning Center or SCORE for more information. While often these organizations have limited understanding of the yarn industry, home-based businesses, and online business, they can be very helpful in providing information about “basic” business information that doesn’t feel very basic when you are starting out. You may also want to investigage business improvement districts, economic development zones, or related local initiatives to support small business growth. 2. Read In general, reading books is an inexpensive way to learn new things, but I’m going to share some tips for saving even more on books. Use your local library system. In addition to books, your local library is likely to have a variety of DVDs and audiobooks, as well as access to research databases and other resources for small business owners. Some systems even have a dedicated business branch. You may also be able to request books on business or craftsmanship via interlibrary loan from nearby library systems for free. Additionally, many libraries hold classes on-site. If your library doesn’t have the resources you need, get to know your local librarian. S/he will be more likely to help a valued local branch customer. Use a subscription service like Amazon Prime. I’m an Amazon Prime customer and affiliate. Amazon Prime is a subscription program that costs $99/year and offers several different benefits including free 2-day shipping, access to free streaming music and video, cloud storage for photos, and the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. You can borrow up to one book free each month from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. Each book can be kept as long as you’d like, but you have to return it in order to take out another book.  Listen to audio books through Audible’s subscription service. Many crocheters and knitters prefer listening to audiobooks to reading physical or e-books, but audiobooks can be expensive. Audible is a subscription service operated by Amazon, and you can listen to one or two free books each month with your subscription. There are tons of great business books on Audible. Write book reviews. If you have a consistent following on your blog and/or social media accounts, approach a book publisher’s marketing or publicity department directly to request a review copy, or sign up for Netgalley, which coordinates advanced review copies of ebooks. Ask to review books that focus on the areas you’d like to develop to get the most out of your review experience, and don’t forget to properly disclose your receipt of a review copy as per FTC guidelines. 3. Connect with local colleges and universities Colleges and universities frequently have guest speakers, workshops, and conferences that are open to the public. These events may be free or low cost. As a side benefit, you may make connections with potential student interns or professors who might be willing to use a challenge facing your business as a class project. Your local business school may also have additional opportunities available, including free classes for small business owners. If your local college or university offers majors (e.g., textiles, fashion design, marketing, new media, etc.) that are relevant to your business, consider how you may connect with faculty and students. 4. Apprentice or barter skills with a master crafter Apprenticing or working closely with a local artisan or business owner can help you improve your skills rapidly under the tutelage of an expert. Approach a master and ask to be an apprentice or intern. This approach is much more time-intensive, so you should consider it more cautiously. You may also barter your skills with this person in exchange for private lessons. 5. Participate in blog challenges Information on almost anything a small business owner might need is freely available online, but the hours required for research can be daunting. Many bloggers curate this process for you by holding challenges focused on improving your skills. These challenges sometimes convert from free experiences to paid courses once they are archived, so join in when you have the chance! Some of these challenges are delivered via email, while others are posted directly to blogs. These can be difficult to find, so use Pinterest or your search engine to look for “TOPIC challenge.” 6. Take a video course Video courses are often cheaper than other forms of professional development and you are usually able to learn at your own pace and review the materials, which are added benefits. There are many great options for taking video courses online. Two of my favorite resources are Udemy and Craftsy. Udemy. Instructors create their own courses and then add them to the Udemy platform. Although courses have to be approved, this allows a wide variety of styles and options to exist. There are courses on business, computer applications and technology, photography, and more. You can read customer reviews to find the best course for you. Udemy offers both free and for sale courses, and they also frequently have sales on courses, so sign up for their email list to save even more. Craftsy. Craftsy’s courses are curated and filmed at Craftsy’s studios, so there is a more uniform appearance. The courses are affordably priced and they offer frequent sales, too. Some of the more helpful courses for yarn-related business owners are the advanced courses in crochet, knitting, or spinning, as well as photography courses. They also offer several free mini courses. You may also want to consider MOOCs (massive open online courses) from colleges and universities. You can find business MOOCs on edX here and Coursera here. These courses are often free but rarely carry college credit. 7. Listen to a podcast I’m assuming that if you listen to the Creative Yarn Entrepreneur Show, you may find listening to podcasts a great way to learn. Here are some shows that I listen to regularly which I think may be helpful for growing your yarn-related business. The #AskGaryVee Show: This live Q&A format video show also has an audio version. It’s hosted by entrepreneur, Gary Vaynerchuk, and covers a wide range of business topics with a focus on entrepreneurship, marketing, and new media. There are several short episodes released each week. Spoiler alert: Gary is known for his colorful language, so if you are sensitive to cussing, this may not be the show for you. Web.Search.Social: This is a show co-hosted by husband and wife team Ralph and Carol Lynn Rivera. They focus on marketing and other business issues from the perspective of the small local business owner. Their show is muti-format and includes read blog posts, interviews, and conversations. Except for the read blog posts, they tend to be chatty. This isn’t a “quick tips” type of show. Etsy Conversations Podcast: This weekly show features interviews with Etsy sellers and is hosted by Ijeoma Eleazu, who I interviewed in Episode 9. Ijeoma also occassionally interviews service providers who may of use to Etsy sellers. You can learn a lot about Etsy selling, but I find the show most inspiring for its focus on creativity and inspiration. Smart Passive Income Podcast: This show is hosted by entrepreneur, Pat Flynn. It is usually an interview format and focuses on developing passive income opportunities. Tim Ferriss Show: This interview show is hosted by Tim Ferriss, the author of The 4-Hour Workweek. Tim does a great job of getting his guests to open up, and many of the shows deal with creativity, overcoming adversity, and other inspiring topics that have motivated me in my business. I usually only listen to specific episodes rather than on a weekly basis. I listen to three weekly author/self-publishing podcasts. These share valuable information about self-publishing and author marketing. The first two also talk a lot about creativity and the business side of being an artist or creative indie. The Creative Penn is hosted by author and professional speaker, Joanna Penn. Her guests often share insights on creativity and the mindset of being a business owner as a creative person. Rocking Self Publishing is a weekly interview show hosted by Simon Whistler. The Sell More Books Show is a weekly roundup of writing, self-publishing, and publishing news and is hosted by Bryan Cohen and Jim Kukral. There are two inactive shows with helpful archives you may want to listen to. How They Blog is hosted by Kat Lee. The format is mostly interviews with an occassional Q&A. The show covers all aspects of blogging. Kat is a devout Christian and many of her guests talk about Christianity and spirituality and how that impact their blogging. The show is currently on hiatus. Oh So Pinteresting was hosted by Pinterest expert, Cynthia Sanchez, who I interviewed in Episode 30. The podcast, not surprisingly, focuses on Pinterest. While some of the oldest episodes are less relevant with recent Pinterest changes, most share valuable information that you can use in your business. 8. Volunteer or speak at an event Most conferences and events are not free or low cost, which is why few of us attend regularly. Most craft industry events (as well as blogger, business, and social media conferences) rely on volunteer staff to help things run smoothly. In exchange for your services, you are typically granted access to the vendor area, demonstrations or lectures, and sometimes even to classes and workshops. You can learn more about this option in Episode 43, where I share tips for getting the most out of conferences and how to save money on attendance as a volunteer. You can also save on events by speaking. I share tips for pitching your proposals to conferences and events in Episode 33. If you already have an existing relationship with a company or brand, you may even be able to get a sponsorship to a conference. Events and conferences allow you to learn while also networking. I think this is a really valuable option for home-based business owners, so try to attend if you can! If you enjoyed this episode The Creative Yarn Entrepreneur Show is no longer broadcasting.

This Week’s Episode I’m wrapping up the Crochet & Knitting Design & Self-Publishing Mini Series by talking about promoting your pattern after release.   Updates from Last Week’s Episode Since last week’s episode, I’ve been informed that CraftFoxes now offers a digital download option. I can’t find anything about it on their Seller Help page, but a quick scan of the Patterns section in the Shop confirms that several sellers are offering digital downloads. Additionally, there has been some concerns raised about selling on Craftsy. In the episode, I share two tips for your PayPal settings that can protect you from both issues. Promoting Your Patterns I talk about two different aspects of promotion in this episode: strategy and systems. Promotional strategy Promoting your pattern is part of your business’s overall marketing strategy. Think about your target audience and where they congregate (online, or off). How does your target audience prefer to get information? Are they interested in detailed backstories about how the pattern came to be, or do they just want a pretty picture? If your target audience is very defined (a “niche”), you might find that you should only promote patterns in certain areas where they are likely to congregate. If your target audience is more general, you may want to consider something more like a “mass marketing” approach, where you share information about your new patterns widely. It helps if your promotion of each pattern – your methods of communication, your “voice,” and your pictures – is consistent with your overall brand as well. Of course, you may need some time to try different concepts out before you settle on your strategy. Promotion systems I recently created a checklist to formalize my process for promoting my Underground Crafter patterns online. I’ve found that having this system makes things easier because I don’t have to “think” about what to do with each pattern, and I can also track traffic (and potentially conversions, depending on the site) more easily. You can customize this system, or process, to meet your own needs. Ravelry Create a project, including all of your pattern photos. Link to the yarn used. Add the pattern to the Ravelry pattern database, whether or not the pattern is available as a Ravelry download. Link the project to the pattern. Share the project (and yarn, if you received yarn support) with relevant groups. Add the pattern to the appropriate bundle(s) on your Ravelry designer page. Blog/Website Write a blog post. If the pattern isn’t available on Ravelry, remind readers to add the pattern to their queue or favorites on Ravelry and include a link. Back to Ravelry Link the blog post to the project and yarn. Now your pattern will show up (as a project) in your groups as a “recent blog post.” Announce the pattern in appropriate threads. I announce the new pattern in my own group on Ravelry, as well as in the Designers group’s monthly new designs threads. If appropriate, add it to a relevant group’s new designs thread, and to one of the “Big 6” boards (both Needlework News & Events and Patterns have promotional threads). Be cautious about violating Ravelry’s Guidelines: “Posting the same message to more than 2 boards without permission from the group owner/moderators is not permitted. Unreasonable crossposting is considered spam!” Some groups explicitly allow people to cross post, and of course, you always have permission to cross post in your own group. Email If you received yarn support, email your contact at the yarn company. Thank them for their support and provide a link to the new pattern. You may also want to include a photo they can share on social media. If you bought yarn at a local yarn shop, email the shop and let them know about the pattern, too. You may even want to ask if they want to display the sample in their shop. Schedule future posts Most of us promote once and then forget all about our pattern. If you use a social media scheduling tool, schedule some future posts about your pattern. I currently use Hootsuite. Or, add a reminder to your calendar in 30/60/90/180 days to remind you to talk about it again! Twitter Tweet a link to your pattern with relevant hashtags and mentioning the yarn company and/or yarn shop. Share pictures to promote more engagement. Pinterest Pin your pattern to your own board for your designs, as well as any other relevant boards you have created. Pin your pattern to group boards. Group boards have been very helpful in driving traffic to my patterns. Be sure to follow the rules of each group board you belong to about what types of content can be pinned (e.g., crochet, knitting, free, for sale) as well as the frequency (e.g., no more than 3 pins a day). I now use Tailwind for Pinterest scheduling and really enjoy it. You can hear more about it in Episode 30: Going Beyond the Basics on Pinterest with Cynthia Sanchez. The Interval Scheduling feature allows me to spread out the Pins over a period of days, weeks, or months across the different boards. Facebook Write a post about your pattern on your own page with mentions to the yarn company and/or local yarn shop. Add a picture to an album of your own designs with mentions to the yarn company and/or local yarn shop. Share the pattern in relevant Facebook groups. Tag your own page when sharing to groups and in the picture so people can easily find you if the post gets shared. LinkedIn If your full time career is yarn related, or your side business as a designer won’t negatively impact your other career, you can also share the news of your new pattern release on LinkedIn. You can share this information as an update, duplicate your blog post as a post, or in appropriate groups. Instagram Since I don’t have a smartphone, I don’t use Instagram. However, I’ve heard from many designers who find that sharing pictures of new patterns via Instagram is very helpful. Kollabora Share your project on Kollabora, whether or not it is being sold there, especially if it is fashion-oriented and/or has great photography. Link to the pattern on Kollabora or another site where it is available. Add the pattern to other sites In addition to Ravelry, Free patterns can be listed on CraftFoxes, Craftsy, and Kollabora. For sale patterns can be listed on CraftFoxes, Craftsy, Etsy, Kollabora, and Patternfish. Free pattern directories If your pattern is available for free, submit it to one or more free pattern directories. Email newsletter Let your email list know about your new pattern release. I send out my Underground Crafter newsletter weekly, so I add the new pattern to my list of things to share that week. In the past, I used it more like an announcements list, and I would send the email earlier in the promotion process. If you’re new to mailing lists, you may want to listen to Episode 27: Connecting with Your Mailing List and More with Vashti Braha. If you’ll also be hosting a crochet- or knit-a-long Share the information with CraftGossip or CraftGawker. List your CAL/KAL in Ravelry’s KAL Fanatics group in the appropriate threads. So what link should you share? If you share the link to your website and you use Google Analytics or a similar tool, it’s easy to track where people are finding your link. This may help you to narrow down or focus in on particular promotional methods. You can also provide links to multiple marketplaces, if you use them, and allow the buyer to choose a preferred site. On the other hand, if your pattern is for sale, a direct link to the shop may increase “impulse” buys. What about advertising? I’ve found that Ravelry ads are quite affordable. You can find more information in this brochure. Many craft bloggers also offer affordable options for advertising on a sidebar, in a newsletter, and/or on social media.  Should you discount? Many designers release their patterns for a discounted rate as a “scarcity tactic” to encourage people to buy it before the price goes up. Others never (or rarely) discount their patterns. Don’t forget face-to-face promotion! Wear or use your sample as much as possible. You’ll be surprised about how many sales you can make this way! Getting others to promote you If you feel shy about promoting your patterns, consider working with others to get the word out. Some crochet and knitting bloggers do pattern reviews. You can reach out to such a blogger and gift her/him a pattern for review. If you have a collection, consider organizing a blog tour. You will need to gift patterns for review, write guest posts, be interviewed, and/or offer giveaway prizes for the blogs on the tour. Consider offering the pattern as a giveaway prize in a large or multi-designer event to extend your reach. Make this checklist your own! Create your own checklist so you can routinize some of your promotions to save time and increase consistency.

This Week’s Episode Back in February, I had the opportunity to meet and interview Cynthia Sanchez at the We All Grow Summit by Latina Bloggers Connect. Cynthia is a Pinterest marketing expert, so in this interview, we talked about taking your Pinterest use to the next level for your yarn-related business. (If you’re just getting started on Pinterest, you may find Episode 2: 10 Ways to Use Pinterest to Grow Your Business helpful.) About Cynthia Sanchez Cynthia Sanchez has a background in healthcare as a nurse navigator. In 2011, she was interested in using social media to get the word out to patients, but since she didn’t have an established online presence or a background in marketing, she decided to start up a personal blog first. Cynthia had recently begun using Pinterest and was finding that it was transforming her life, so it seemed like the perfect topic for her to explore through blogging. Cynthia soon became a recognized Pinterest marketing expert. In addition to hosting the Oh So Pinteresting podcast, she also speaks regularly at national conferences social media events. You can also subscribe to the Oh So Pinteresting podcast on iTunes and Stitcher.  About the Interview In this interview, Cynthia shared her advice for going beyond the basics in using Pinterest for reaching your target audience. Here are some of her suggestions. Take the time to develop a Pinterest strategy. Consider who you want to reach (your target audience), and then create boards populated with the types of images they want to see. Once you have established your overall strategy, you can think about the posting frequency/schedule that works for you. Consider different approaches to Pinterest boards based on your business’s size and brand. Solopreneurs/micro business owners might share more personal interest boards than larger businesses, since the owner’s personality may be considered part of the brand. Owners who have a business serving both B2B and B2C audiences might consider creating separate accounts to focus on different audiences. Businesses of all sizes may want to consider using more secret boards for interests that may divert attention from their core business activities. If you have multiple accounts, establish group boards to share crossover interests with both audiences. I do this with my Crochet Business Tips board, which is shared through my Underground Crafter and my Creative Yarn Entrepreneur Show business accounts. Browse boards and pins in categories unrelated to your business. Yarn-related busienss owners may want to check out sports or history to see Pinterest with fresh eyes. Discover what appeals to you visually, and incorporate that into your own boards as well as into the images you share online. Cynthia also shared several recommendations. The Pinterest for Business blog is Cynthia’s favorite resource for staying on top of Pinterest changes. Tailwind is the Pinterest scheduler and analytics tool Cynthia recommends for small businesses and bloggers. It is an approved Pinterest third party app and it has affordable pricing options.

Before we get into the heart of the interview, let me just say that you might want to have a pen & paper handy (or Evernote...) to take some notes while you listen! I've been a fan of Pinterest since I joined a couple years ago. Part of me is quite proud of the fact that I was sort of an 'early adopter' (in my humble opinion anyways), but then I have to fess up to not really using Pinterest to its full advantage and understanding how it works as a search tool (yea, I had NO idea about this). Cynthia and I had connected some time last year and then I decided I needed to follow up and get her on the show. Not only is her story amazing but it is SO full of valuable information you may need to listen a second time. :-) From Nurse to full time Pinterest Coach, Speaker and Consultant Like many other online marketers, Cynthia was inspired to start her online business after finding Pat Flynn's podcast, Smart Passive Income (who doesn't love Pat, right?). The best part about her decision to start a blog was that she decided to pick something that would be fun and let it evolve. She originally thought she was going to set up an online business relative to her career as an oncology nurse but decided that learning how to do it with something fun would be smart. Starting with Pinterest Deciding to start her online journey with something 'fun' was not only smart it clearly was 'meant to be'. To anyone who is even considering something online this is something you should really take to heart... it's O.K. to approach it in a way that feels right for you. Cynthia is also a wife and mother to 4 kids... so having a full time job on top of life at home didn't make starting her online business easy, but she stuck with it. Before she knew it she was asked by a local business to help them with Pinterest marketing. Then asked to speak at Social Media Marketing World as a Pinterest expert (Michael Stelzner & Social Media Examiner). And did I mention that Cynthia has a Podcast? Her podcast is also one of the reasons she was invited to speak at Social Media Marketing World. Not too shabby for a new business, huh? Pinterest is a Search Tool  - Not A Social Media site What floored me the MOST about my interview was the education I got on Pinterest and that they consider themselves a search tool, not a social media site! Cynthia shared her favorite WordPress plugin for Pinterest, the Pinterest "Pin It" Button by Phil Derksen (link below as well) and why she likes this plugin the most. *side note* With the sharing of content via social media being able to dictate meta information for your images is HUGELY valuable! I don't want to give away the full interview in the post, so be sure to listen to the entire show for all of Cynthia's fantastic tips!

Pinterest is where todays guest has channeled her passion, and todays guest entrepreneur was someone who I just knew was a person that I wanted to have on the show, as she has a story to tell that I found fascinating. Like so many people in the world,this lady had a career which she balanced with being a fulltime mother and wife to her beloved family. Everyday she went to work, as a fulltime radiation oncology nurse, and every evening she came back and probably did the same kind of things as most Mothers. She dealt with the dinner, the washing, and all the other things that us men try to get out of doing. Not a great deal of freedom in that lifestyle for sure But unlike many people with the same responsibilities, she didn't just play safe and continue with her career until retirement, as deep down a fire burned brightly.A fire to go out on her own, and create her own business…in the online world of Pinterest.But how did she convince her family, that it was time for a change?How did she gain the support of her husband to make such a bold move?Well I don't know but back in 2012, she walked into her medical career for the last time, and quite simply hasn't looked back.Although I'm going to ask her just that today, as the powerhouse of Pinterest, is ready to look back over her life to “Join Up Dots”.So welcome to the show the lovely and talented Cynthia Sanchez.

Welcome to the Digital Media Branding Podcast Episode 017 How To Grow Your Social Media Influence Hello, I’m your host Carlos Quintero and I own a full service digital media branding and marketing company based out of Fargo, ND called MediaOnQ. Today we’ll be talking about How To Grow Your Social Media Influence. At MediaOnQ when we work with clients to help them come up with their social media strategy.  In doing so, we always keep a single point in mind and that is, we want our efforts to produce engagement. Engaging content helps us build trust and once we have the trust we cross over toward being influential. Before we go on, I’d like to make a point. There are a lot of companies and individuals out there who consider themselves to be social media experts. Many have their own strategies that they deploy with their own clients. I’d like to suggest that there is No Single Cookie Cutter approach toward social media for all companies and not even for all industries. Could that be true? Yes because after all we are dealing with people. And to top that, people in different markets. So it all has to start with who is our target audience? Once we pinned that down, we can begin to look at how we should structure our social media marketing plan, with the objective of building trust and influence through engagement. I’d like to make one other suggestion. Before you accept the advice from anyone including me, ask about their own strategy. I really do mean that, because I believe that this is a question that is important to you as a small business or marketing professional who is about to spend time, effort and money on this journey. Think about this. Let’s say that you wanted to grow your YouTube subscriptions. Part of that strategy would be to produce a video or web video series right... If you hire an agency or consultant to produce and launch this for you it will require time, resources and finances to get it done. So, wouldn’t you want to see or know that they’ve had success implementing their ideas in on their own YouTube channel? Or would you feel comfortable simply giving out your hard earned cash in hopes of getting results? This of course would be true with any kind of Social Media Channel. If someone is giving you advice on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube and so on...take a moment to ask them about their own efforts and check out their channels. Hopefully you’ll find that they are exactly who they represent themselves to be. So now, let’s go through the 10 steps to help build your Social Media Influence. #1 Do It All At Once What I mean by do it all at once is to work on building your brand, building your product and promoting yourself all at once. You don’t want to do this in steps because if you do, you will lose valuable time. In other words, no one can build influence over night. Every phase or aspect takes time to build. So while you are building your product, you should be building your brand and promoting yourself, so that once the product or service offering is ready to launch you won’t be starting from ground zero. #2 Understand What Each Channel Has To Offer Not all social media should be used in the same way... While this may seem a little obvious, it is surprising to see how many small businesses and companies out there misunderstand this. So let’s break it down. Facebook. Facebook targets people you already know. Family & friends and maybe even customers. So with Facebook, understanding that you are really asking people you know to recommend or endorse you is key toward driving engagement and building influence. Twitter. Twitter is more of the personal perception. The one-on-one connection with you or your company. Think about that for a moment. How powerful is it to know that you can connect directly with an individual? How cool is it for your client base to know that they have a direct line to your business? Allowing people to connect with a person or a company representative through Twitter, helps build trust, delivers one-on-one engagement and helps build influence. Moving on to Google+. Google+ is a bit different in that here you have the ability to connect with people with similar passions. So with Google+ you are not targeting people you know but rather people who share interest, or industry peers. The common drive, goals and inspiration is what drives the engagement and allows you to build influence. Now let’s talk about Pinterest. Pinterest, for all of you who are still ignoring Pinterest, you should check out the Digital Media Branding Podcast Episode 6 where we discuss how to use Pinterest for Business. And another great resource which I would strongly recommend is Cynthia Sanchez and her Podcast Oh So Pinteresting. You can find her on Google+, iTunes or at her website OhSoPinteresting.com. I’ll make sure to include links to all this in the show notes. Pinterest is all about pinning right. What does that mean? Well pinning allows you to express yourself.  Pinning allows you to explore and find new stuff. How does this translate to you and your business? Well pinning allows your audience to interact and engage with your products and services. If you can show how your product or service is a part of your customer’s life or how your product or service interacts with your customers then in my opinion you’ve hit a grand slam with Pinterest. That type of engagement will build your credibility, trust, brand and influence. The last social channel that we’ll discuss today is LinkedIn. LinkedIn allows you to show off. LinkedIn is a place where professionals get together to talk shop. This is the ideal place to show off your products, services and experience. Think of it as shameless self-promotion because it is ok if everyone knows that you are great at XYZ... This now leads me to #3 Create a Great Profile Seems obvious right? Again, amazing how many companies and businesses don’t or have not taken the time to do this. With social media like most other things in life and business, you can’t simply go through the motions. If you have a business page, on a social channel and you don’t have a profile, what does that say about your business? Just last week, I had a consulting call with a new client who basically said.  Carlos, I have 6 kids, own my own business and have all the friends I need so I don’t have time to complete all these profiles. He is not in a unique situation. And frankly, I can see why he would feel that way... My response to him was simple.  Why then should anyone take time out of their life, because we all have busy lives right? To follow you, endorse you, trust you, promote you or even buy from you? If you don’t have time or the resources to get this done, then outsource it. Hire a company who can help you get it done. Skipping the Create a Great Profile step will diminish your social media efforts and it will make it very difficult for people to engage, trust or view you as an influential source. #4 Become a Curator What does this actually mean? For your industry, I would guess that you are not the only provider of goods, services or information. I would also guess that there are other items that relate toward your offering. Some of these may be of value to your own customer base. If you organize the valuable content for them and make it easy for them to find what matters to them, you become a valuable resource. When your community views you as a resource for more than just your product, services or information you’ve crossed over to the influential side of social media. Now this does not mean that you copy someone’s content and post it as your own. It means that you mention the content and link them to the source. #5 Leverage Social Sharing If you’re providing value to your community or target audience, then why not ask them to share that value with their friends? If you ask, you will most likely get. Here’s an example.  I purchased the RODE SmartLav a while back. During my testing I decided to make a video to show how it performed outside of a studio in windy conditions. I posted the video on YouTube and as of today have had more than 660 views. I also Tweeted that I’d just posted this video and RODE Microphones favored my Tweet and Shared it with their followers. How awesome is that? Instantly, I was able to reach a far greater number of people thanks to their engagement with my content. And now #6 Show Some Restraint What I mean by this is that not every post should boast about you and your business. If you are following along, we want to create value beyond our own service offerings here since that allows us to increase our social influence. So, I would suggest that one out of every ten post should be about you and the rest should focus on bringing some sort of value to your community and target audience. I am not suggesting that you could not bring value with every single one of your posts but rather that when you make it about them they are more willing to accept and support the messages that are all about you. In other words, your social media channel will not come across as spammy. If any of you marketers out there disagree or have a different take on this please let me know.  You can email me at studio@mediaonq.com #7 Use More Than Words Here’s what I mean. When you post something on your blog or any of your social media channels how likely would you say people are to read a 1,500 word post? Now let’s say that the same post has pictures in it. If you are scrolling through your social channel and notice a picture that call for your attention...aren’t you more likely to see what it is all about? So I’m suggesting that if you are taking the time to add a post, don’t settle for just words, add a picture or video to support that post. Doing so, will help you get the most out of your efforts. #8 Don’t Be Silent I work with a wide range of clients and some are better at this than others. When someone engages with your content, you have to respond. You can’t allow yourself to be silent.  Social Media is not like traditional media, where you put out a message and push out information and that is where it ends. Social Media is just that, social. The goal is to create engagement, so when people engage with you give them the curtesy to show that you are thankful for their engagement. This will help build your social influence. #9 Link Back To Your Own Site If you take the time to create content or bring value to your community and target audience then you should consider this content to be an asset. If it is your asset, then it should live somewhere that you own and control. So when you post on the social channels it is ok to link them back to your own website for them to consume the full version of the content. Doing this, also allows you to share other resources and content that they may be interested in while building your own website traffic. #10 Repeat Your Posts It is ok to repeat your posts. Most of us know how fast Twitter moves right. So what are the chances that everyone who follows you is going to see the post at the exact time that you post it? If you use Twitter, do you check for updates every minute of every day? Or do you make time to go through all of the post that you missed that day or that week? I am guessing here but I think that most of us don’t.   So I am suggesting that it is ok to post multiple times in an effort to maximize your reach particularly with Twitter. So how much is to much? Consider your community or target audience, factor in time zones and I would say that tweeting 4 to 6 times over 48 hours is about the right mix. At MediaOnQ we’ve experimented with that quite a bit. When we post multiple times, say 3 times we get 3 times the amount of sharing and content consumption. The opposite is true too though...if we post 6 to 8 times, we get people who drop off and unfollow. We’ve just covered 10 Steps To Help You Build Social Influence. #1 Do It All At Once #2 Understand What Each Channel Has To Offer #3 Create a Great Profile #4 Become a Curator #5 Leverage Social Sharing #6 Show Some Restraint #7 Use More Than Words #8 Don’t Be Silent #9 Link Back To Your Own Site #10 Repeat Your Posts Do you have any other tips or techniques that can help us achieve social influence?

RP127: Oh So Pinteresting's Cynthia Sanchez visits Rays Podcast to discuss her journey from nursing to successful online entrepreneur. Cynthia shares valuable advice on Pinterest for business success & raising two sets of twins!

Cynthia Sanchez launched Oh So Pinteresting in February 2012 and after a few months she was approached by a company and asked if she would not only help them with Pinterest but also manage their social media accounts. In September 2012, Cynthia left her job as full time radiation oncology nurse to focus on growing Oh So Pinteresting and her new social media business. Just like the medical world, social media is ever evolving and changing. It requires continuous study to stay up to date on the latest methods and products. Since launching the blog, Cynthia spends time taking courses and attending several conferences a year focused on social media. In growing and marketing her own business, she has had to learn multiple social media platforms and how to create content for them. Cynthia writes the content for the blog, produces her own podcast, records videos and creates graphics. Cynthia uses her experience as a nurse to help her empathize with clients. She continues this approach in her business and encourages clients to take the same approach in their social media marketing. For fun, aside from exploring the usefulness of Pinterest, Cynthia enjoy traveling with her family, which consists of two sets of twins, crafting, and learning photography.

There are 70 million users on Pinterest, and more than 1/2 million businesses. If you're selling online, traffic from Pinterest  spend 60% than Facebook users, and 22% conversion rate. Whether you're B2B or B2C, Pinterest can help increase your online visibility, drive more qualified traffic to your site, and help you generate more revenue.

Cynthia Sanchez talks about Pinteresting

Cynthia Sanchez shares tips for using Pinterest to promote your podcast, create better content, and get more followers.

Podcasting is on the rise with the learning curve flattened and consumption of podcasts becoming easier. This episode covers getting into podcasting.Full show notes at: http://podcast.musicradiocreative.com/getting-into-podcasting-podcast-episode-32/

Can a podcast niche be too small? How do you find an audience in a niche that isn't very big? Watch myself (Ray Ortega) along with +Daniel J. Lewis, +Cynthia Sanchez, +Jason Nagy, +Joseph Polk, and +Peter Lamb talk about podcasting to a small niche and how to find your audience when the potential pool of listeners for your topic isn't that large.

In today's show we hear about some of the subtle items Americans (or other people) can do that may not translate well in other countries. I share with you the insane number of countries that consume this podcast. It is amazing to think that I'm in a room near Cleveland, Ohio and I'm reaching hundreds of people in China, Canada, Germany, and many, many, many other countries. Pinterest Podcaster Lands Television Spot [2:00] Cynthia Sanchez of the Oh So Pinteresting Podcast has been podcasting for a little over a year, and was recently asked to appear on local television to (see the clip). This is another example of podcasting helping someone be seen as an expert. New Subscribe and Follow Plugin [4:10] My friend Daniel J. Lewis of the Audacity to Podcast has authored a plugin that makes sharing and subscribing to your podcast super easy. You can easily go in and input the links to sites like iTunes, stitcher, miro, and more then customize your colors, and if you want to feature one network over another you can do that as well (for example make the iTunes button bigger than the others). Best of all these will look great at any resolution. Check it out at subscribeandfollow.com Through the end of may Daniel has it on sale for $27 ($10 off the regular price) so hurry. I cam currently using it on my Weekly Web Toolssite and will be using it on this site shortly... How Podcasting Can Boost Your Business [6:30] I appear on the Photo Biz Expose Podcast talking about how podcasting can boost your wedding or portrait photography business. Listen to it here. Special thanks to Andrew for having me on the show. Reach a Global Audience with Podcasting [7:23] Today I bring an interview that was conducted on the floor of the New Media Expo last year. I interview Karin Høgh of podconsult.dk She mentions that we need to remember that there are holidays, products, etc that don't always "translate" well to a global audience. For example, while you can make $15 for every new audible subscriber on your podcast (details here), Audible is a very "American/Canadian" type of offer. She also mentions the Yender Law which is an unwritten law that promotes everyone being equal. Think of it as an "Un-ego" law, and that we should think twice before touting our accomplishments, or openly "selling" a product. In looking at my stats, 85% of my audience is from the US, with the second option being "other" at 7% followed by China at 4% and Canada at 2.5%. It is interesting as I look at my Libsyn.com stats that there are very few counties on the planet (Iceland being one) that I do not get at least 1 download (get a free month at libsyn.com using the coupon code sopfree). The reach of podcasting is amazing. Clip of the Week [19:13] This weeks clip of the week is from the New Media Show featuring Paul Colligan. Paul mentions how his young daughter was a little confused when her Dad said, "I guess we'll have to listen to the radio." He response? "What's that?" Using More Than One Blue Snowball Microphone A listener asked, "Can I use more than one Blue Snowball Microphone?" and the quick answer is "No." At least not easily. Blue snowball microphones are USB ONLY, and do not work with standard mixers. They are also condensor microphones which means they pick up more room noise. A better choice is the Audio Technica 2100 microphone. It is USB (so you get the plug and play) and it also works with mixers (XLR jack), and it sounds great and is only (as of May 2013) $34.
