I’ve been asked this question a lot lately… What is your secret to building your business online? What I’m going to share with you in this video today is EXACTLY the formula that I use! I’m a transparent guy if you have noticed by now
The information that I’m going to share with you in this video below, is information that I usually don’t just put out there. Most of the time I share something like this with my mentoring clients or the people on my team in my business…. but you caught me in an EXTRA giving mood.
Don’t be fooled by the simplicity… everyone is always looking for the confusing and complicated strategies. We’re building a business online, we’re not performing brain surgery! Towards the end of the video I share with you the #1 way that I’m getting TONS of eyeballs on my content each and every day for FREE!
I won’t hold you any longer, go check out the video:
So I shared with you at the end of the video my strategy of creating TRIBES. Hands down this has exploded my traffic and has brought my biz to a whole new level. TRIBES is a new concept to the marketing world. Very soon you will be hearing more and more people talking about this term, but for right now there are NOT many!
A TRIBE is simply a group of like-minded entrepreneurs that are all sharing and promoting each others content. Most people can’t grasp this concept, because they are so STUCK in the ‘competitive’ mindset. They would never think of promoting someone else who is doing exactly what they are doing.
At first, it’s a little tough to wrap your thoughts around because we’ve been so programmed that other people doing what we are doing are our competition. It’s so WRONG! We live in an abundant Universe where this is an unlimited amount of resources to go around for everyone.
When you realize by all working together like this you all increase your exposure dramatically, then you get it and are ready to form a TRIBE. You are leveraging other people who are already marketing to your exact market… brilliant if you ask me:)
So that’s first… if you can’t make the mental shift, then TRIBES are not for you. The coolest part about this is you are able to reach thousands and thousand more people who are you exact market then you can ever do by yourself. By far this has been the biggest surge to my business.
Some of the requirements to being a good fit for a TRIBE:
You must be a GIVER…
This doesn’t need much explaining. You need to come from a place of wanting to add value to other peoples lives instead of coming from the place of what can you ‘take’.
You must be willing to SHARE:
Too many people hoard resources. When they get turned on to something good, they hide if from everyone. That is a fear based mentality that can’t survive within a TRIBE. TRIBE members all look out for each other. They CARE about each others success just as much as they do their own success. If they find something valuable, they are quick to share it with the others.
You must be AUTHENTIC:
You’re going to want to attract TRIBE members that match YOU… not someone else. If you’re not being authentic, then you won’t attract the right people. This almost goes without saying, but I see so many people online today just not being themselves. It’s time for people to cut the crap and just be themselves! When you do this there will be amazing synergy that is created between you and your TRIBE members.
So.. now that I’ve share with you a bit on what it takes to be in a position to create a TRIBE, how do you go about forming one. Here are some pointers for you:
Social Media Sites
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and sites just like them are GREAT place to meet like-minded entrepreneurs to form a TRIBE. You can search people out that have the same likes and passions that you do, connect with them and let them know what you are looking to do. It’s always good to syndicate/promote their content first… it will help you catch there attention.
Forums
There are so many forums out there where people are talking all day long about specific topics. Find a forum that has to do with your niche, and get in there and mix it up. If you search your keyword with the word ‘forum’ at the end of it in Google, your bound to find communities where you can find some like minded people.
Now that you know where you can meet people to connect with to form a TRIBE, let me introduce you to the guys that I run with…. my TRIBE. There guys are value adders, the type of guys you want to learn from.

Incredible value here Eric! Thanks for sharing your secrets with the community.
Hey Krista,
Thank you… so awesome to have you within
the tribe mixin’ up the value with us. Hang on
tight because it’s about to get nutty!
Hey Eric,
Isn’t this a fantastic model for success
on line? And ultimately it builds each
others subscriber lists. Which is everyone’s
biggest asset… but few people know
anything about that.
Have a great one!

It really is Kary… the perfect model for
success in Social Media. We’ve both seen
dramatic increases in traffic, subscribers to
our list and people joining us in biz all because
of the info on this post.
To more success… Tribin’ It Up!
Eric,
Tribes are wonderful and this post will really help people understand that helping each other doesn\’t take something from you, it adds something to you. The giving and sharing is the core of what makes this idea to powerful.
If people have a hard time accepting that, then perhaps we need to add being coachable an trainable to that list of qualities. Trust us, believe we know what we\’re talking about, and try it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Jodi,
Great to see you here, thanks for poppin’
in! Yes, being coachable a trainable are
definitely qualities that are needed.
Thank you for adding value here in the community!
Eric…
This is just amazing! It is incredible!!! Competition is so the old way of doing things! My mind is blown with this awesome idea! I am so excited after watching this hahaha! Seriously man, thanks for the knowledge.
Much Gratitude,
Joeyy
My pleasure Joey… You are right on
track buddy! This one concept is a total
GAME CHANGER!
Gotta love it:)
Wow, I can\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’t wait to steel your idea…LOL
No this is a great post. I actually learned a thing or two. Putting the simple step by step process on a white board really helps simplify \\\\\\\\"tribe syndication\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’ and blogging alliances.
It is simple…I\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’m not sure why nobody has thought of this before??
Thanks for the comment Nick!
When we break it down on paper, it
really is super simple!
Tribin’ all the way to the TOP:)
Eric
This is big. This strategy is something that can and does bring so much traffic back to the blog. And having that mindset is key. Like you were saying, knowing that there is enough to go around is very important. It takes away the thinking that it’s a competition.
Thanks Eric.
Steven Downward´s last blog ..The All Out Power Of Belief Re-patterning
Hey Steven,
The mindset is KEY, just like you said.
Without the proper mindset, having a
TRIBE cannot work.
To abundance my friend!
This is great stuff Eric. You never hold back, and I love it. Great video, great teaching.
I love what you say about being willing to share. This is so important. Being a giver is so key to success.
Thanks for all the value you give. We all appreciate it.

Keep it flowin’…
Eric,
I agree, learning about and becoming involved in tribes has been one of the most productive things I\’ve ever done for my online business.
One of the things I most love is the fact that the old school \"watch your back\" ideas are not welcome in this arena. It\’s so much fun to work with people who share an abundance mentality and are happy to help others succeed.
Keep on rocking my friend!
Kathy J
Ahhh, nicely said Kathy!
When you are surrounded by people
who all have an abundant mentality…
Watch out… then it’s party time!
Love it Eric!
We need as you say to make that mindshift
and think differently.
As Zig Ziglar said it best, If you help enough people get what they want, you will get everything you want.
Help others, help others and then help some more!
Cheers
Steve
ps What can I do to help you today?
Steve Hachey´s last blog ..More Tribe Talk…..
Steve,
One of my favorite quotes my friend, thanks
for sharing it here in the community with everyone.
Helping is where the fun is at… it feel so good!
This is SO TRUE Eric and is TOTALLY the wave of the future.
By giving, giving, giving…both your content and content of those in your tribal group…you are setting yourself up to get geniunely interested traffic to reach out to you.
Positioning yourself as a part of a tribe is a HUGE tip that more people SHOULD ABSOLUTELY follow.
Thanks for the great content within your video and article Eric!!
Rock on dude,
Jomo
Hey Jomo,
Thanks for the good words bro!
The more we give and help others… the better
we feel… the better we feel, the more we are in
alignment with our desires… the more we attract
those desires into our life!
Be good bro!
It makes so much more sense to spend an hour with a group of people who can syndicate your content while you syndicate theirs than to take that same hour and just do your own stuff.. You are getting 5 times the activity!
Great article Eric… Thanks buddy.
Hey Debbie,
It makes so much sense! Especially when
you have like minded entrepreneurs who are
all out to help others…
Thanks Debbie!
Eric,
I get so excited when other people just get it and I knew you were one of those people. You get it! You fully understand the power and vision of what a tribe can do and how syndication alliances can be formed.
I love the way you broke this down and explained the simple yet dynamic nature of this concept. I fully believe that with your help we will ABOLISH the Lone Ranger marketer mentality.

Can\’t wait to be ready to connect with my tribe… you know how much I respect your ability to make this all work and fit together… so once more thanks for everything as always
My pleasure Sandhan… it’s been great
working with you… to lots more success!
This is a great overview of the tribes concept Eric – I like the bit about switching to the Abundant mentality. I\’ve checked out your tribe\’s sites – some great folks there.
Looking for some peeps to establish my own tribe now. Did you gravitate towards people you found in your online network, or people you know in real life?
Hey Kathy,
“Real Life’… haha! I love when people
say that. Online is still ‘Real Life’… just
pokin’ at ya:)
I met my TRIBE online. I saw that they
were value adders and were out to help
others.
That’s what caught my eye. I did go through
a few people until I found people that were
playing at my level and looking to go BIG!
We will cover all of this on the webinar on
Thursday night… def check it out!
Hi Eric,
thanks so much Eric,this is a great post,
it explains it all,
I am so proud to be part of this great community
Hey Jean,
It’s great people like you that make
this community an awesome place to
hang!
Thanks for droppin’ in…
Hey Eric,
Great post, I look forward to learning more about Tribes! I\’m a bit new to the online game and I\’m looking forward to learning from people like you who are getting it done!
Cheers,
Ian
Hey Ian,
Thanks for sharing here. Myself and my
TRIBE members are definitely getting it
done.
Head over to the webinar on Thursday
if you have time… keep in touch buddy!
Great video! You are incredibly well spoken and with great content. Thanks.
I look forward to growing with my new tribe.
To add a piece of history, as a Jewish person, I’ve often reffered to myself with friends as tribal. There is a sense that someone else has your back which protects you to grow.
Deep Thougths,
Cheryl
Thanks Cheryl!
TRIBE members def do have eachother’s
‘back’… it’s all about helping each other to
be all they can be.
Tribin’ It Up… all day!
Hey Eric
Great Video … I like what you said about having the mindset of ‘Abundance and being enough around for everyone’ so really then we should be afraid to share and promote each other.
You are certainly leading by your own example. Great Work.
Thanks for you generosity.
Kerry Beare
Kerry,
The mindset of abundance is SO
important. All it is… is getting back
to the mindset we were born with.
We didn’t worry if there would be enough
eyes, lungs or kidneys to go around when
we were in the womb…
There are unlimited resources!
Thanks for sharing your idea.
I agree that if a person has genuine bravery, he/she will not be a taker but a giver.
Yoshikazu,
My pleasure on sharing. Keep being
a giver and watch the flood of things that
come back to you!
Thanks for stoppin’ by:)
Hi Eric, you have a great way of explaining things and bring clarity to the world of social media. I agree that being part of a Tribe is powerful and will help people shift out of the mindset of competition into cooperation and explode their reach exponentially!
Hey Jenn!
Thanks for stoppin’ in today and
sharing. When we move out of that
mindset of competition and into cooperation,
so many doors open up for us.
You definitely have that mindset
Eric
I completely agree with you. It is not mere exchanging the readers, but contributing together for better society.

Hey Praveenben,
When we all help each other, we
all get what we want. The power
of working with others awards us
with results that we sometimes can’t
achieve by ourselves.
Thank you!
I def agree with this concept Eric, the more we help each other, the more we all become successful, it’s not just about competition, we came in this business originally to help, not to compete…
Hey Terrance,
Right on… the more we help each other
and come from a place of abundance, the
more the Universe gives us what we want!
OK, so you’ve completely blown my mind with this. Now I really want to learn more about creating tribes and encouraging others to embrace this abundance mentality. I *love* this. Thanks so much!

It’s really a great strategy… and you’ll
meet some cool peeps! If you’re interested
in the Tribe concept, keep eye on my blog as
i’ll be sharing something great in the next week:)
I’m brand spanking new to all of this Eric but all I can say is…..BRILLIANT!!!! Thanks so much for sharing & you’ve cheered me up today
hey Tamela,
So great to hear that you are starting
out… we’re all brand new at one time!
The TRIBE concept is a brilliant concept.
It’s all about coming together to help each
other.
Looking forward to seeing you grow!
Hey buddy,

Hey Emilio,
Thanks for the comment bro… I’ve
enjoyed sharing a bit with you on this
topic.
It’s amazing how content stays out on
the net forever… gotta love it!
Great post. I’m amazed that others would have that “mindset” of scarcity in our industry. To hoard their ideas or be afraid of sharing others content because they look at them as competition. This is the wrong industry to be in with that mentality. Working with one another to achieve our goals…..that’s the way to go
Jesseme,
There are a lot of people out there
who have the ‘scarcity’ mentality. That’s
why the economy is where it’s at right now:)
It’s all about having the mindset of abundance.
There is really enough for everyone, we just
need to BELIEVE it for it to be true:)
