4. How big is this?
Socialnomics

5. The beginning
• What I wanted:
• People to know that I had started my own agency
• People to know that I was a different type of agency.
• Wanted to brand and market where the people are of my niches
• To attract the families with homes, two or more cars, and have average to good credit
• What I had:
• Budget of $500.00 for advertising for the year!
• Very limited technology & social media skills
• Goals:
• In the next two years I wanted to derive 51% or more of my leads from online
• In my first year I wanted to write at least $20,000 in premium from being online
• By my second year I wanted to write at least $50,000
• Do it by being different….and…...being where the people are

6. What I did
Being involved in my state and national association enabled me
to meet and network with highly successful marketing agents of technology.
Like you, I kept hearing about social media and occasionally heard great stories of
agents being successful marketing their agencies online….so…
I started my social sites for JDC on April 11th, 2010.
• Facebook
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
YouTube came about a month later
Brand and market through:
• Post
• Ads
• Discussions
• Videos
• Comments
• Likes
• Share
I can show you how I market and brand but I can’t show you how I sell

7. Some things I do with Facebook
• Ads auger
• Get friends
• Run ads ( sponsored stories )
• Get fans
• Get their email or contact information ( giveaways)
• Run contest & sweepstakes
• Like & Interest ads
• Get your message out to the exact person
• Direct them to what you want them to see
• Niche and target marketing at it’s best
• Generic branding ads
• Happy Birthday
• Thank you
• Holiday ads
• Specials or current events
• *Mobile*

8. Other social sites
• Twitter is a media outlet I use to:
• Stay connected with others instantly
• Broadcast to a large select audience
• Learn from companies
• YouTube is the future and I use to:
• Broadcast myself on the jdcins channel
