"What Is" A Posting Spree? Here's The Story Behind It All.


Hello all ...
Many of you have probably recently seen invitations to go on a posting spree!  So you ask ... just what is a posting spree?  

It's a program designed for those who have challenges in creating and/or getting results from their online social media posting activity!  If you or anyone you know is stumped on how to be effective when you see that social media text window that says, "update your status" or "What's on your mind?" or "What have you been up to?" etc. ... you and/or they are perfect candidates for a posting spree. 


The invitation includes the basics, but before I review those let me tell you a bit of the background. 

  • It came to my attention when social media first came on the scene that the magic was in each business posting that got put out on the internet.  Yet, all the training I knew about covered only the details of how to use the chosen resource and stopped short of teaching what to include in a posting and how to write a post once you did know what you wanted to say!  I also realized that many small business owners ready to use social media had absolutely no sales training.  They knew what they offered but did not possess "selling without selling" communication skills. 
  • The 1st attempt to solve this problem was to offer "how to" programs.  How to have unlimited "effective"  ideas for business postings and how to write the actual posts!  The response was good but  the follow through did not show up.  Old habits are sometimes hard to break and social media activity is a marathon. I saw some people simply going back to their old ways "thinking" they were doing something but not really being effective. 
  • A light finally went off  that said, how about making a month's worth of effective postings "with' clients! Leaning by doing ... holding their hands, talking them through how to come up with effective points to write about and  how to write the posts!  The quantity was increased to 40 to allow them to have an inventory of a month's worth of daily posts plus a few more that worse case could be rotated if they never made another post again!  At least their investment would be worth those 40 postings as they went forward with their online marketing. 
The Posting Spree was born! 

It is a turn-key solution that moves businesses forward in two ways: 

  1. They leave the program with 40 postings they can immediately use and rotate on a daily basis that they know are effective and written with an intent to connect to buyers. 
  2. Most important .... By creating the 40 postings "with" 1-on-1 supervision and care they have had a great opportunity to learn "how" to proceed on their own!  Any wrong thinking has been identified in the process of creating the original "40" and corrected.  They are enabled, "should" they choose to proceed on their own. 
It's That Simple! 
The name? Yes, it came from shopping sprees.  A shopping spree is when you put your head down and go for it!  Same thing ,, in a posting spree we put our heads down and go for it!  

The Program
It is for individuals, but two people can sign up together if they are from the same company OR the same industry (upon approval).  There is a flat fee BUT no limited time frame.  We work together in as many sessions as you wish until 40 postings are completed.  ( There is a disclaimer for someone who just cannot get it, but we make it fair.) 

Hope this fills you in on "just what is" a posting spree!  If you think you'd like to go on a spree ... click here! We'll have lots of fun and be productive at the same time!  You are also "always" invited to contact me with questions!

Keep your business garden growing!
