Hear what you want to hear on twitter

If you want to listen or join conversations related to your interests on twitter, you may be looking for a tool that could help you filter what you need to hear before you start listening.

This site enables you to monitor, find, subscribe and then capture and refine your search results with your rss reader.

If you haven't already tried using it, you may want to test monitoring interests, wishes or large amounts of problems that still haven't been solved yet.

After all, there is so much to learn from the things that still don't work.

Encourage certainty by providing a preview

If you would like to see your clients make specified decisions or take specified actions, consider providing your prospects with optional previews of what will come, or what will happen next.

There are moments when our clients want to know exactly how we are going to react and what our next moves are going to look like.

Anything less may lead to negative feelings which have an undesirable effect on the human intuition. In other words, our prospects aren't completely comfortable with the design of our process.

If we act, we want to know what to expect, and this is especially true when we get targeted with new solutions.

When we can’t be sure of our expectations, we may feel insecure, uncertain or disoriented.

However when something unexpected, needed and wanted, is perfectly integrated in our interaction sequence, we appreciate this very much, but as customers, we need and want as much foresight into any process as possible.

We know that all courses of events have the potential to affect our future negatively and positively.

So we feel the need to eliminate risks and keep our ability to prepare ourselves and plan for our future.

The lack of foresight is most certainly one reason for being uncomfortable with getting the next dental treatment.

Market your superficial weaknesses into assets

We continuously send signals to our audience. We do this either directly or indirectly as we are targeting the conscious and unconscious layers of the human mind.

Some superficial attributes (like having hairloss for example) are loaded and charged with meaning, memories and associations for the recipients.

So when we indirectly communicate our superficial attributes by acting as if they weren't there, we place these attributes indirectly into the unconscious layers of the mind our audience.

We influence people towards thinking that it was their idea to think about these often trivial superficial characteristics a few days later.

The conscious thoughts following this transaction will be affected again by associations and memories that our superficial attributes were charged with, in relation to the worldview and mindset of the particular person thinking.

This leads to the following: If you want to market a superficial weakness into a strength, the key is to encourage your audience to consciously (not unconsciously) perceive your superficial properties and reconnect them with beneficial and improved associations that you provide.

Recharge your potential weak spots with new tags and new meaning plus continuously recommunicate them in a direct way to stimulate conscious thinking in relation to customized associations.

Remember: when our weaknesses are superficial, they don't negatively influence the core values that we provide or the surrounding soft values that our value is embedded in. Superficial attributes aren't worthy of change because of that.

The problem is that plenty of people disadvantageously associate certain attributes, with stories that don’t necessarily contribute to the fortification of a coherent and good image.

The drawbacks that are connected to common memories, percipiences and associations of variable audiences, start becoming problematic after undesigned impressions that we subliminally leave in the minds of others, develop into unconsciously perceived and unshaped autonomic stories.

The same goes for marketing yourself to the press. When you supply your press-partners with something great to write about, it’s always safer and better than leaving the decision to others on what to think and write about you.

When you can't or don't want to change certain things, send the superficial attributes that people perceive anyway in a straightforward and direct way.

After all, this leaves you looking more appealing and self-assured to your audience.

The terms under which we choose to listen

For the time span of the following post, envision your message, as if it was a product…

We all know that we can never force others into listening to what we have to say.

So whenever you have something relevant to tell the world, the crucial goal for you to reach, would be helping your audience to choose to listen to you.

Here's why: When you want people to listen to you, you require them to act your way.

But we know that people only act after they have decided that they want to act.

So it always goes their way.

Are you talking to the right audience?

Your audience is always searching for answers and it decides, whether it wants to be your audience, or not.

Why did you choose that audience?

Why would that audience choose you?

The thing that separates your complete audience into groups is the following question that people ask themselves before deciding to listen: What do I need to know right now?

Right now, you wouldn’t want me to start talking to you about the water availability near you, would you?

When your message stays available, it will be a permanent option.

You might never know what people think before they do, but you can try...

If your message is brilliant, the chances are likely, that the same audience that obviously ignored you yesterday could care about your content today.

It all depends on the questions that are being asked by your current recipients.

Yesterday, your answers just didn’t match the questions that where being brought up.

So find out what the timeless questions are, and prepare your best answers.

Keep these available at all times and then let your audience find you, because they decide when they want to listen.

How does your audience like to get talked to?

It’s not just what you say, but also how.

Just as in learning and teaching, everyone has their own unique way of talking and listening to people.

Knowing the listening preference of an audience is a key aspect in reaching an audience.

Some people learn better by reading and some learn better by teaching, that’s why we have to adapt to these preferences.

Finding the proper tune and the proper messaging-format for each group is powerful because most people can’t agree with you, unless they understand your message without having to translate anything into their own understandable format.

Just remember: your audience will show you what the right format is, by either dropping you, or picking you up.

What place would your audience like to listen in?

The place is crucial.

Where does your audience prefer to receive new information?

If the place you chose is loaded with negative associations or subtle reminders of negative experiences, it’s probably not the right place to deliver your message.

Find the place that your audience chose, and eliminate the negative associations by improving everything until it’s completely different in a better way.

How will your audience benefit from listening to you?

The answers to the following questions are usually in the back of our minds before we choose to put some time and energy aside to give someone else a prominent stage.

What perceivable incentives can you offer, that would help you motivate your audience towards listening?

What perceivable reward can you offer to people after they have finished listening?

There are times when people need the stuff they want and want the stuff they need.

That’s why triggering actions that satisfy needs of people, is such a powerful method in gaining attention.

If the benefit sets in right after your audience is done listening, you’re likely to get loyalty through positive behavioural addiction.

Why courage is the key to big things

If you want any of the following, you will need courage:

- Money
- Power
- Love
- Attention
- Sex
- Personal Growth
- Followers
- Adventures
- ... anything scarce or valuable to most people

Here's why: Think about it, the size of the impact that your actions already made, was always closely related to the courage that it required for you to act that way.

Winners make mistakes and risk being completely wrong sometimes. But they see their mistakes from a different perspective. This gives them courage.

Mistakes are seen as steps to a goal, and mistakes help eliminate the wrong methods.

You need courage to see yourself the exact way you are now, but your reward will be the ability, to see yourself the way you will need to become.

Risk is the barrier that keeps the critical mass from doing risky things that offer a great reward.

What an opportunity for the people who have courage.

The 3 ways to outrun your competitors

If you want to outrun your competitors, you are probably searching for ways to get yourself or your company in the lead.

You can be better than others in 3 ways:

- Your value is better
- Your value is faster
- Your value is cheaper

Let me give you some examples related to blogging:

Being faster as a blogger, could mean delivering your content at a higher rate.
When your competitors are posting 2 posts a day, try to post 3.
Being faster can also mean replying faster to incoming emails or comments.
You can interact, react and act faster then others.

Cheaper means delivering more personalized value for less value.
Value can be energy, time or money … anything of value to others.
It means giving more for less, or something for nothing.

You can be a better blogger than others, by offering content that exactly matches the needs of a small slice of all your potential readers.
Try personalizing your content even more.
When you have something for everybody, you have the best for nobody.
