TRIBE Syndication: My Secret Sauce To FREE Traffic

by Eric Goldstein on January 26, 2010

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.

Katie Freiling
Kary Rogney
Michael Feil
Nick Logan
Ken Pickard
Jon Alfredsson

Would you like more information on how to go about setting this all up? Head over and check out The Unified Tribe? This is a TRIBE community that I’m one of the coaches and mentors in, launched by Katie Freiling. It’s a great place to bring your personal brand and get a BUZZ going about it!

Please leave a comment at the bottom of this post sharing your thoughts about TRIBES. Do you see how the leverage can change the entire game for you? Also, feel free to share this with your Twitter & Facebook followers. Part of being a good Tribe member is syndicating post of value, and there is definitely a lot of value in this post.

Speak soon…

Yours In Tribal Mastery,
Eric Goldstein

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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?

Eric Goldstein January 27, 2010 at 12:45 PM

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

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.

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.

The mindset of abundance is SO

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!

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 :-)

Reply

Eric Goldstein August 14, 2010 at 10:19 AM

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:)
