Do you support your people?

How can I show my friend that I support his or her endeavors in this digital age?

 1.  Click LIKE! 

 This means, click the like button on their PAGE, click like on their posts, click HEART on their Instagram pics, click the heart on their tweets, click thumbs up on their YouTube videos. Literally takes a second of your time.

 2.  SUBSCRIBE… 

 or Join… or whatever it’s called on whatever platform! Subscribe to their YouTube channel. Join their Facebook groups. Follow them on Twitter.

 3.  COMMENT. 

 Yeah... this will take a few more seconds of your time than clicking like; but it just kind of goes the extra mile or so. Throw down a comment here and there. It won’t hurt… promise.

 4.  SHARE their shit!! 

 I have connections that have blogs about working out. I hate working out. But guess what? I value my relationships more than I value my dislike for exercise. So, I share that shit. I have friends who do divination. I do divination. Guess what… I still share their shit! 

 There’s more than enough business in this world to go around! Sharing is Caring. And sharing is probably the absolute BEST thing you can do to show someone support!

 5.  REFER YOUR FRIENDS TO YOUR FRIENDS! 

 Have you ever been perusing a Facebook group and come across a post asking about a topic – and you automatically think of that one person you know who DOES that topic? 

 Just the other day, I saw a post inquiring about past life readings. I don’t do those. But I know someone who does. So, even though there were a few other comments, I piped in and gave my friends link. 

 Yeah, it took a few more minutes than clicking like. But I would hope that if someone saw a post where someone was asking about Reiki classes, or Medium readings; that one of MY friends would throw down MY name and info.

 6.  SHOW UP! 

 This is a part of just being “PRESENT” for your friends. I had a friend just the other day do a LIVE video on Facebook. It happened to be a topic I was already familiar with. In fact, I could have done that Live video myself. 

 You know what I did? I watched that video. And I invited others to watch that video. And I clicked the thumbs up and the heart buttons here and there. True, I was making dinner at the time. But I knew my friend was going to be doing the Live video and I knew that if it were me, I’d want the support of my friends- my tribe.  

 What will YOU do to show your support to your people? Your tribe? Those relationships you've developed online? What can you do today? Because, there will come a time when YOU will need that support... and you will be glad that you've already built a strong foundation. 

 It takes a LOT of work to market a small business on social media. It's not as easy as people make it look. It's time consuming for one thing. You become a graphic designer, writer, artist, financial guru, and advertising specialist. And that is in ADDITION to whatever product or service that person is selling! For many small business entrepreneurs; their business is their bread and butter. That is how they make a living. So... in an effort to prevent your entrepreneurial friend from knocking on your door one day asking to sleep on your couch because they are HOMELESS.. why not show them some support instead! ;) 

   

 If you've read this far... I love ya. I love my tribe. I love my fellow entrepreneurs. Let's help each other to GROW!
