How does Social Proof affect your business?

If you don’t know the answer to the question above you may be missing out on tons of extra revenue each and every day.

Social Proof is not a new concept but it is definitely overlooked by businesses and entrepreneurs. I want to share with you a video that was recently put out by Shopper Approved with some eye opening statistics on how Social Proof can help with consumer loyalty and trust.

Now if that video doesn’t make you want to gather customer feedback then I don’t know what will.

We all know the importance of having a happy customer, but what are we doing to share that data we gather from happy customers. Whether you like it or not, your website visitors are actively looking for ratings and reviews about your company, products and services online before they buy. And with Social Media it is even easier today for your customers and visitors to instantly share information about you.

That is why Shopper Approved is so powerful. Taking Social Proof to the next level.

It is actually here. Some might be saying, “It is About Time.” Monday December 7th, 2009 Google rolled out real-time search results. Although it is live some of us may not see it yet depending on your location.

Here is a pretty cool video that Google put together on the new Real Time Search:

To get the full story from Google read their blog post “Relevance meets the real-time web“

At the blog they stated:

“Our real-time search enables you to discover breaking news the moment it’s happening, even if it’s not the popular news of the day, and even if you didn’t know about it beforehand….Click on “Latest results” or select “Latest” from the search options menu to view a full page of live tweets, blogs, news and other web content scrolling right on Google. You can also filter your results to see only “Updates” from micro-blogs like Twitter, FriendFeed, Jaiku and others. Latest results and the new search options are also designed for iPhone and Android devices when you need them on the go, be it a quick glance at changing information like ski conditions or opening night chatter about a new movie — right when you’re in line to buy tickets.”

So Google Social Search is the big topic again lately because of their recent blog post Introducing Google Social Search: I finally found my friend’s New York blog!

Here is what they had to say about their new experiment:

“Your friends and contacts are a key part of your life online. Most people on the web today make social connections and publish web content in many different ways, including blogs, status updates and tweets. This translates to a public social web of content that has special relevance to each person. Unfortunately, that information isn’t always very easy to find in one simple place. That’s why today we’re rolling out a new experiment on Google Labs called Google Social Search that helps you find more relevant public content from your broader social circle. It should be available for everyone to try by the end of the day, so be sure to check back.”

So the question is, Is Google Search On or Off the Mark?

I think they are making good strides but it seems slow. I talked to my good friend Dave Harry about Google Social Search and this is what he had to say:

“I think it’s interesting… but still has a ways to go… but certainly can’t be ignored as far as what they’re looking to do. I think Google Wave would work well with it also…soooo… might be tied together…”

Here is a video from the famous Matt Cutts about the new Google Social Search -

Learn from none other than Russell Brunson himself on the new concept of Micro Continuity

I had the opportunity to travel up to Boise to see Russell Brunson present to a small group of people his new Micro Continuity program that is changing the online marketing scene. I have never seen someone so passionate about a marketing concept. The best part about it is that there is many people trying Russell’s techniques and it is working like gangbusters.

To watch Russell’s video visit Microcontinuity.com

If you don’t have a product online or you already do, then this simple method that Russell teaches will take that product to the next level. Continuity is essential in making money online these days and it doesn’t have to be hard, and that is why I recommend Micro Continuity with Russell Brunson.

The crazy thing is…

that Russell is semi-retiring to go out for the 2012 USA Olympic wrestling team. You’ll have to watch this short video to understand why:

So back to the new program! Russell Brunson reveals a POWERFUL new system for getting a mini-membership site up and running in less then 24 hours! If that doesn’t get you excited I don’t know what will. The best part about it, is that the system is so easy to follow that anyone can do it and do it with a very small budget.

Russell revealed this system for the first time 3 months ago. Back then he sold it for $2,497 and it sold out in just 1 minute and 47 seconds… but now you can get your hands on this new video showing how it works for FREE (until he pulls the video down).

So go watch this video now – it’s absolutely free – but go fast (last time it was only online for less than 2 minutes)
