Hello Hello CTP Chat Gang!!

Yesterday was way less than the first day!
What happen??

If you want to build a brand, a reputation, having more followers or grow your Hive and CTP Power, you need to show up...

Every👏Single👏Day👏!

Will it be easy? Of course not!
Everyone has the same 1440 minutes a day!
So if you wanna be somebody around here you need to come to chat with us every day!

If this keeps going down we cannot have the chat alive! We are doing this for you! Not us!

YOU!

We want you to be more social, we want to answer all your questions, we want to reward you for taking action and being active and engaging!

And build some consistency!

Here's some stats from yesterday:

58 Comments and 142,5 CTP Tokens were distributed


Use the Force!!

May the Fourth be with You!

Hi! You had 58 comments on the #CTPChat thread yesterday? That's incredible! I'd call that a pretty successful first day. Maybe I can kick today off with a question...

How do you feel marketing priorities have changed the most in the last year and a half-- and over the last five or ten years? I'm wondering if you've seen specific important changes since the pandemic started, or if it's just been a steady march to here anyway over the last decade.

0
0

That's a really good question....

For me, the same has played true for years and even more so since the pandemic.

People hate to be 'sold' on something, but they love to buy...When they feel like they are a part of something and valued.

So for me, it's all about community. The key to strong market initiatives is help people see how they are a part of a brand, a community, a company.

One of the biggest reasons we work so hard within our community, is to bring that sense and feeling of value to everyone. We genuinely WANT people here and think when companies put people, before profits, great things can happen.

I like that answer! It almost seems as if the distance between people has made this community idea more of a priority for both businesses and consumers, ironically.

I think the last year has produced much quicker adoption of new tech and the online ecosystem in general... which also has a net effect of dropping the average capabilities of online consumers, so onboarding could be seen as a more necessary component of marketing plans. Simple is better?

Just thinking out loud though... I love putting noggins together and hearing different perspectives, as these topics will only get more important going forward. Thanks for the quick response! :)

We really did get thrown into the tech...I know a lot of people who never used live video before ever, are now masters of Zoom and Facebook Live.

But you are bang on...The easier you make things, the more people will adopt it.

That should always be the goal of development in this space. Ease of use.

I really don't like to be sold anything, always thinking that there is a catch or they won't be telling me the whole truth. I like to read up on a product or service to see what it is all about. I am really not liking that every time I look at an ad or something on facebook they are also putting that same ad in my face or something similar all the time.

I have both Dapplr and Ecency and so far I prefer Ecency because it gives notifications of every activity and you get points on any activity you do inside the app and then exchange those points to a nice upvote on a post you create on the app. Dapplr is overall cool too especially for a quick video that you can upload on the go. Something with hints of Appics/Instagram. But it's been a while last time I saw news from them and Ecency is been very active and always improving.

I have an account on leadsleap and sometimes I check some ads there. What I realised today is that most of these ads haven't changed in ages. It's the same pages that are promoted like 3 years ago! My question: is the affiliate marketing industry lacking inovation? There is still a lot to do to bring people from sites like leadsleap to the blockchain...

They are constantly fight new tech...

Story time lol

Over the years, most in affiliate marketing go where 'the gurus go'...So if they say, SEO is what everyone needs. Everyone goes to find out about SEO.

If they hear about funnels, everyone rushes to learn about funnels.

But not of that technology has really changed in years.

Blockchain and crypto are starting to generate attention because we see guys like Gary Vaynerchuk finally dive into the space. So people will come...Sadly it will not be until more of the 'gurus' speak up.

True, but since we are ahead of the curve, and building 'street cred' on the blockchain so to speak, when the swarms arrive we'll be positioned to be the ones people turn to for help. That's where it pays to be the affiliate selling evergreen services that are backed by blockchain tech where applicable. At least that's my take.

And Leadsleap is a great source of people signing up to my rob w mailing list through my lead capture page hosted on ctp.

How nice to get a video answer. Thank you Eliana :-).

I think that you are quite right. People are resistent to change especially when once it worked so well. I saw this happening to the faucet industry. For a long time, it worked well and owning a faucet could make you some money but then things changed and it simply didn't work anymore. I needed to change.

Another problem is that in affiliate marketing, there are actually not that many people who make a good business. Most of them try to copy what others told them to do. So they are struggeling with that already and once they think they know a bit more, they don't want to accept that what they have learned is somewhat obsolete...

0

That is true...If you want to copy a mentor or so at least choose the best one to be your mentor!

And it is a bit awkward for me who is in this industry pretty much since I came to Steem/Hive and learned so much in less than 2 years and there are so many people with 10,15,20 years of this and still stuck somewhere in the '90s. I don't like to disrespect the seniors but the "back in my day" talk doesn't work most of the time at least here lol

Constant Improvement + Time = Real Results.

This should be a good one.

How about let's each give an example of real results that came from improvement + time. I'll start: I've spent thousands of hours practicing drums, and it works. I became an in-demand percussionist and instructor.

Next.

When I started to vlog I would start over about 10 times until I get one right, not to mention being nervous on camera and not looking in the right direction.

Kept doing it anyway and today I don't need to start over. If I make a mistake I improvise and laugh about it and continue, I'm much better at looking in the right direction and I feel much more comfortable!

Now I ramble too much ahaha

For those who use wax.io, be sure to set up 2FA (two-factor authentication) using your phone. Really helps make your account that much more secure.

I just set it up on my account.

That's important to know. I actually just created the cloud account and that's pretty much it.
Might have to change that and even check on creating a "real" account instead of just the cloud account.

No worries. Using 2FA that isn't your email is way more secure than not using it. I have it set up for anything that I come across that has it. Ask anyone in IT security and they'll tell you that 2FA, when done right, is a godsend when used properly.

WAX is a different blockchain that is pretty trendy right now in the crypto world because of the NFT's you can create there, that's pretty much what I know. It's still aside from the training because it's also new to us.

For now, I would focus on this one that is already a whole new world itself lol

What Goes on A Great Thank You Page?

Was having this discussion in Telegram and decided to bring it here for consideration, since we're all marketers.

The question: What do you think belongs on a perfect thank you page that someone is sent to after entering their email on your lead capture page?

Me personally I think a thank you page should have explicit instructions on what to do next. I even went so far as to write an article on how to whitelist within gmail and had that as part of my main email intro so people know to whitelist my stuff from the get-go.

What's your take?

0

You are 100% correct on that one. After all the goal is to get are messages opened, that won't happen if they end up in a spam filter.

(Edited)

Since I use the double opt-in, I have two thank you pages.
The first one I use as you say: informing that they will receive a confirmation email and give instructions to whitelist.
The second one I have a brief description of what kind of emails they will get plus sharing my social media so they know they can reach me anytime.

I think it's a good practice like so but I'm open for more opinions :)

I have a video introducing myself. I offer them a free (surprise) product (a PLR product I got) IF they respond and tell me a little about themselves by replying to the first email. I tell them this in the email and the video.

If they respond, they are automatically whitelisted, plus I am building a relationship from the get-go. I personally respond to all emails.

I would say they need to be kept as concise as possible while helping the person understand what will happen next. Sometimes I get turned off by thank you pages that start with thank you and then have pages of information below that with all sorts of additional links to click. Most to all of this extra stuff should be in the follow up emails.

You definitely hit that on the head. I hate those thank you pages that just say 'Thank You' cause I usually say 'Now What?'

As for whitelisting, I don't .... what I do is make a folder for everything and a filter to skip the inbox--> never spam--> and the folder to send it to. This works and I rarely get spam messages, only if it's from something or someone I didn't request.

0
0

The actions of saying it's 'never spam' is whitelisting, essentially. And I do something super similar. I also use gmail and filter messages into folders based on mailers. The cool part is this allows you to see how many messages a mailer sends per day and how active it is. :)

You're welcome!
We can even reply to some questions with videos if needed!

Go Dapplr! On CTPTalk the embed doesn't work too well so you either click on the link that Ctptalk shows or go to PeakD to watch it embed here :)

I think that would work, it's easier for us to help when we know the main struggles that people have and others might have it and never thought of them!
We can help each other and improve ourselves together!

For me the questions are organic.so I ask when I am stuck. I like to find answers quickly. I think on some subjects it would work on others it might be too much feedback at a time. plus I like connecting with people on a personal level. so I guess my real answer is maybe sometimes

Question: Is it considered bad etiquette to link to past similar posts when posting on Hive in order to get them seen?

0

If it matches the subject and related you can link some of your similar posts. In general though, you probably don't want to promote your posts otherwise. I think its fine to go to a chat like here or @leomarkettalk and post a different person's post if you think it was good.

Yeah like fang says. If there's a post that you think it's interesting to share especially if it's about marketing and business online, those might help to answer questions that some might have.
Or even a post that someone is asking a question that we have missed for example.

We just want to avoid self-promotion which can be considered spam and get a downvote

I'm late to the party, but I've always felt weird about throwing up links in platforms like this, but it is definitely a double-edge sword when you want to provide a link to something that may be of help to those who are looking for answers. At the end of the day, as a community we have to make sure we provide a nudge or two and let folks know - it's not cool...

For the most part the majority of members have enough common sense to divine what is and is not appropriate to share in any given conversation. It is that lowly 10% that rationalizes their way to being inappropriate completely ruining the platform for the rest of us, and that is really sad.
