The New 10,000 Rule to Social Media Marketing Success

In this episode, Dan Sanchez talks about the #1 reason why people's efforts on social media (LinkedIn specifically) fall short of the goals they set. They don't count the cost of what it takes to grow and increase their reach. Dan reviews what the cost is as well a practical ways to address it.

WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.540 --> 00:00:02.740 Yeah, 2 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:09.390 welcome back to be to be growth. I'm dan Sanchez with Sweet fish media and 3 00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:17.420 today I'm talking about the new 10,000 hour rule to social media success now 4 00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:21.550 for anybody listening that hasn't heard of the 10,000, our raw recap real quick 5 00:00:21.550 --> 00:00:26.500 is essentially a theory that Malcolm Gladwell popularized in one of his 6 00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:32.560 books, saying that you can't truly master a craft or a subject without 7 00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.210 putting in 10,000 hours of practice and not just okay practice, but perfect 8 00:00:38.220 --> 00:00:43.280 practice. Really good practice. It takes 10,000 hours, right? And that's 9 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.250 the rule for success. But I'm here today to kind of popularize a new rule 10 00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:52.110 and it's not, it's things that I've heard before, but I'm trying to say in 11 00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:57.080 a different way because I'm still finding people miss this so often that 12 00:00:57.080 --> 00:01:01.460 it's worth recording a whole episode about because you see, I get to meet 13 00:01:01.460 --> 00:01:05.580 with lots of people as a director of audience growth for sweet fish Media 14 00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:08.800 often get to sit down with customers a couple times a week to talk about how 15 00:01:08.800 --> 00:01:12.460 to grow their podcast. Right? So it's marketing is just marketing for your 16 00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:16.570 podcast and we're the objective is to grow the audience sometimes more than 17 00:01:16.570 --> 00:01:20.040 growing revenue, right? We know audiences and means to revenue. So the 18 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.450 objective is to grow the audience and a big part of that is social media 19 00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:29.480 marketing, but I continually see people make this one critical mistake over and 20 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:33.600 over and over again and I can empathize with it because I was there myself, my 21 00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:37.170 career got brought up through the PPC channel, right, I was really good at 22 00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:40.500 Adwords. And then when facebook started putting ads in the feed like man, I was 23 00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:43.350 quick to that. I was in that first summer when that started happening and 24 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:47.120 read all the, took all the courses, listen to all the podcast. I was great 25 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.820 at facebook ads. I grew a whole university, tripled the enrollment of a 26 00:01:50.820 --> 00:01:55.180 university to facebook ads. I learned lots of other channels, but I wasn't 27 00:01:55.180 --> 00:01:58.850 very good at social media or at least not organic. Social media paid social 28 00:01:58.850 --> 00:02:03.040 was a breeze, but organic. Not until this last, I don't know about 16 months 29 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:07.250 for me that I actually, you know, James Carberry, the founder of Sweet Fish 30 00:02:07.250 --> 00:02:10.050 kind of showed me the ropes on linkedin and you know, I learned from a few 31 00:02:10.050 --> 00:02:13.410 other people that were doing well on linkedin and then just put in the work 32 00:02:13.410 --> 00:02:16.950 and tried and did it over and over and over again, posted lots of content, 33 00:02:16.950 --> 00:02:22.570 engage the platform and I grew In five months, I grew to 10,000 followers and 34 00:02:22.570 --> 00:02:26.760 today in past 20,000 followers, um half of which are connections. The other 35 00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:31.170 half are just followers and a lot of people have looked at that and they're 36 00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:35.460 like dan, tell me what you did And there's a lot of things that I did, a 37 00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:38.850 lot of different little content tricks and how to get people to read your post, 38 00:02:38.850 --> 00:02:42.120 how do people get engaged with it, but I'm not here to talk about that. So I 39 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:46.630 think people kind of get that are good at that. It's not as hard to figure out. 40 00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:50.760 But this one thing, this one thing I'm crafting this new 10,000 hour roll 41 00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:56.270 around is the thing that people miss the most often. So let me talk to you 42 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.930 talk to you about this new 10,000 hour rule and really it's not 10,000 hours 43 00:02:59.930 --> 00:03:03.760 actually, it's an arbitrary number. I needed a way to cross over and build an 44 00:03:03.760 --> 00:03:06.470 analogy to something that everybody understood, everybody understands the 45 00:03:06.470 --> 00:03:10.940 10,000 hour rule. What I like about it is that it's really like it's helping 46 00:03:10.940 --> 00:03:15.240 you see the cost, The cost you have to pay in order to succeed and become a 47 00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.890 master at a subject. But if you want to master social media, it's not just 48 00:03:19.890 --> 00:03:26.930 10,000 hours, you have to leave 10,000 comments. 10,000 comments, let that 49 00:03:26.930 --> 00:03:31.770 sink in for a bit. That is a lot. That's a lot of comments, but that's 50 00:03:31.770 --> 00:03:36.480 what it takes to succeed on pretty much any social platform to do it Well, 51 00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:39.760 unless you're bringing in some owned audience from somewhere else. So you 52 00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:43.880 become famous recently, you've gotten on tv or you want american like you've 53 00:03:43.880 --> 00:03:46.780 been growing going up in american idol or something, so everyone's just 54 00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:50.730 following you, like unless you're that or you're an expert already, you have 55 00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:55.040 attention somewhere if you want to grow From zero, which is kind of where I 56 00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:58.490 started from, maybe I had like I had 500 plus connections, like most people 57 00:03:58.490 --> 00:04:04.820 on linkedin but that wasn't quite enough. You have to not only show up 58 00:04:04.830 --> 00:04:09.700 and put out a post a day or more, and of course you could do less. Less is 59 00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:12.920 just always slower and you honestly honestly just goes away faster if you 60 00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:18.110 post more. But you also have to engage the platform. You have to actually be 61 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:26.800 social on social media. Whoa, shock surprise. But it's so frequent that I'm 62 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.480 meeting with people and they're asking me for tips on how to grow their show. 63 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.980 And I'm like, well, what are you doing on social? They're like, oh, I'm 64 00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:37.420 posting all the time. And usually even if their posts are good and they're 65 00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:41.750 doing the exact formula that I've laid out for succeeding with linkedin posts, 66 00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:44.730 they're still getting crickets on their engagement. There's still like one or 67 00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:49.530 two people commenting handful of likes and I'm like, well, how much are you 68 00:04:49.530 --> 00:04:51.350 engaging in other people's stuff? 69 00:04:52.640 --> 00:04:56.060 And that's when they usually look at me like, what are you talking about? I'm 70 00:04:56.060 --> 00:05:00.870 like, you're not engaging in the platform. You have to actually go out 71 00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:06.340 and be social. You can't just be talking in the public square, hoping 72 00:05:06.340 --> 00:05:09.690 people come to you and just start listening while you're standing up on 73 00:05:09.690 --> 00:05:14.190 your box, they will, But first you have to go out into the crowd and engage 74 00:05:14.190 --> 00:05:18.870 people one person at a time in their conversation and what's interesting to 75 00:05:18.870 --> 00:05:25.230 them, you have to add value to them And you have to do it 10,000 times. It's a 76 00:05:25.230 --> 00:05:28.170 lot. If you leave 10 comments today, it's going to take you a couple of 77 00:05:28.170 --> 00:05:29.560 years, I think three years. 78 00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.650 But if you leave 100 a day it's it's going to take, it's gonna go much 79 00:05:34.650 --> 00:05:39.190 faster. If you do 100 a day, I think it'll take you something like a few 80 00:05:39.190 --> 00:05:45.100 months, Maybe 5, 6 months To reach the 10,000 comment rule that I'm throwing 81 00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:48.640 out there and this isn't a new rule. Other people have talked about this. 82 00:05:48.650 --> 00:05:53.720 Gary Vaynerchuk calls it the dollar 87 rule, like go and leave your two cents 83 00:05:53.760 --> 00:05:59.010 to the total of a dollar 87 on other people's posts every day. A dollar 87 84 00:05:59.010 --> 00:06:04.220 would be, I think it's like close to like 90 90 comments a day. Value driven, 85 00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:07.540 unique comments, not you copying and pasting and engaging people's post, but 86 00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:12.560 actually go into your feed and just reading what people post and engaging 87 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:13.850 in a meaningful way. 88 00:06:14.940 --> 00:06:20.440 So you might be thinking dan, That's great, Why is this so important? This 89 00:06:20.440 --> 00:06:26.230 is important Because it does two things One and most importantly, and this goes 90 00:06:26.230 --> 00:06:29.200 for all social media networks and then there's something unique to Lincoln. 91 00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:35.440 That's .2. But .1 is that you build relationships so that when people see 92 00:06:35.440 --> 00:06:39.260 you, they become more familiar with your name and your profile picture 93 00:06:39.640 --> 00:06:43.030 because they're interacting with you. Hopefully interacting with you 94 00:06:43.030 --> 00:06:47.050 regularly, right? Just like in real life, if you meet someone and then you 95 00:06:47.050 --> 00:06:49.470 meet them again and again and again you're having little bits of 96 00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:53.830 conversation. Slowly start to build a relationship, You start to build trust 97 00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:57.780 and you start to become friends. That's what you want to do. But you have to do 98 00:06:57.780 --> 00:07:02.190 it one person at a time and slowly they start if they see your thing, they're 99 00:07:02.190 --> 00:07:06.610 gonna be like oh and showed up what's up, you know, because if we're going 100 00:07:06.610 --> 00:07:09.650 back to that street metaphor, if you've been engaging lots of people in their 101 00:07:09.650 --> 00:07:13.510 conversations and then all of a sudden you get up on your box to say something, 102 00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:17.400 we'll all those people are like oh look who just stood up, I think I'll join in 103 00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:21.140 that conversation, right? That's how it works. It's related, building 104 00:07:21.140 --> 00:07:26.490 relational equity, but it takes it's a lot harder. It's actually what wouldn't 105 00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:30.200 even say it's hard, it just takes time lots of time. But it's the price you 106 00:07:30.200 --> 00:07:35.470 have to pay. Every channel has its price. An organic social is just time 107 00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:40.990 engaging with lots and lots of people 10,000 times. The other point of why it 108 00:07:40.990 --> 00:07:45.950 works is in Lincoln specifically the algorithm will favor you even if they 109 00:07:45.950 --> 00:07:49.950 didn't even remember you, Which did they they do. But the algorithm was 110 00:07:49.950 --> 00:07:52.760 like oh dan just interacted with susie, 111 00:07:53.940 --> 00:07:59.470 you know what next time dan posts, I'm going to show his post to susie and 112 00:07:59.470 --> 00:08:03.780 that's how the algorithm works. So literally before I post a single post, 113 00:08:03.780 --> 00:08:10.830 usually I will spend 15-30 minutes commenting as much as possible to kind 114 00:08:10.830 --> 00:08:16.410 of prime that pump to get it out there more, It seems manipulative, but 115 00:08:16.410 --> 00:08:22.110 remember I'm spending 15-20 minutes adding value to other people's post and 116 00:08:22.110 --> 00:08:26.700 every comment I add to their posts helps their post go farther, build a 117 00:08:26.700 --> 00:08:31.230 relationship and adds a little value if I'm doing it right and sometimes value 118 00:08:31.230 --> 00:08:34.960 isn't that hard to do, So let's go into that. How does that, what does it look 119 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.419 like? How do you do it? Some people struggle, they like for the most part, 120 00:08:38.419 --> 00:08:41.850 90% of people don't engage with anything and that's most of us on most 121 00:08:41.850 --> 00:08:44.650 platforms. But if you want to grow on social you want to grow on linkedin. 122 00:08:45.040 --> 00:08:48.640 You have to remember that you have to move out of the 90% of people who are 123 00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:54.240 just lurkers and just consumers and move into the 10% Sorry then it's 124 00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.850 really the 99-10 rule, 90% of people consume 9% of people engage 1% created 125 00:09:00.340 --> 00:09:04.770 If you want to be the 1% of creators that succeed, You have to take part in 126 00:09:04.770 --> 00:09:07.710 the 9% to you have to become an engage er you have to be someone who's 127 00:09:07.710 --> 00:09:12.990 commenting and you do that by exercising the muscle of learning how 128 00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:16.530 to engage because actually it's not it's not that straightforward. I 129 00:09:16.530 --> 00:09:20.940 remember when I was early on trying to do this well for some reason, every 130 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:26.070 time I did engage it was like something negative, I was being critical or I 131 00:09:26.070 --> 00:09:29.960 would try to be positive, but it was a little snide or people took it that way, 132 00:09:30.040 --> 00:09:34.390 I didn't have that in my heart, but that's how it came off. So here's a 133 00:09:34.390 --> 00:09:36.360 couple of ways that you can 134 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.260 add value to post, that is easy. 135 00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:46.980 So here's my five favorite ways to make comments more that are more extensive 136 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:51.600 and value driven. Remember sometimes and first I'll start off with my first 137 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:56.490 and easy one. Sometimes, all you need to do is give encouragement. It's the 138 00:09:56.490 --> 00:10:00.670 easiest thing you can do, people are celebrating something or showing a 139 00:10:00.670 --> 00:10:05.600 milestone or saying, hey, I just started a new job. Then, really the 140 00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:08.090 only thing you do is throw down some excited emojis and be like, 141 00:10:08.090 --> 00:10:11.410 congratulations, that's awesome, you deserve it. I try to customize it as 142 00:10:11.410 --> 00:10:14.760 much as possible, but sometimes just a smiley face and a fist bump will do 143 00:10:15.140 --> 00:10:18.100 right because you're just trying to encourage them, You're trying to let 144 00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:22.730 them know, hey, I see you well done, right? It's, we do it in real life all 145 00:10:22.730 --> 00:10:26.110 the time. We give congrats all the time, that's a simple way to add value if 146 00:10:26.110 --> 00:10:29.410 that's what's called for another way you can do it is by echoing the 147 00:10:29.410 --> 00:10:34.170 sentiment of the post by sharing you've noticed the same thing or by simply 148 00:10:34.170 --> 00:10:38.030 sharing like a relevant story, like, oh yeah, I noticed that too. In fact, when 149 00:10:38.030 --> 00:10:43.260 I tried it, it panned out the same way. In fact, here's how you know, so just 150 00:10:43.270 --> 00:10:48.510 sharing your angle is a good way to do it. You can ask a relevant question to 151 00:10:48.510 --> 00:10:51.510 get more out of them. I do it all the time. This is actually part of my 152 00:10:51.510 --> 00:10:54.980 favorite thing to do. If something's like, if somebody's giving me like a 153 00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:58.470 statement like, oh, do this and I'm like, yeah, but in what context? 154 00:10:58.470 --> 00:11:01.880 Because I might be a little confused like how does that actually apply? I 155 00:11:01.880 --> 00:11:04.890 love asking questions and it's great for them because they love to give more 156 00:11:04.890 --> 00:11:08.210 information and they get to know what people are still confused by. So it's a 157 00:11:08.210 --> 00:11:11.760 great way to add value of even offering the question for them to know what 158 00:11:11.760 --> 00:11:15.410 their audience is thinking. But then you learn more in the process. Maybe if 159 00:11:15.410 --> 00:11:17.100 you get a little dialogue going, 160 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.810 you can disagree with people don't do it to be rude, be polite and show that 161 00:11:22.810 --> 00:11:28.110 you're open minded, say it in such a way that you're like, hey, I've noticed 162 00:11:28.110 --> 00:11:31.320 when I've done that I've gotten the opposite result, but I am just one 163 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:37.290 person and I'm often wrong. What do you think about that? If you approach it 164 00:11:37.290 --> 00:11:41.520 with humility, you can disagree and be open to learn. Sometimes you're one 165 00:11:41.520 --> 00:11:44.630 time didn't matter. Like your one time might have been off, you might have 166 00:11:44.630 --> 00:11:49.300 been in a rare anomaly right. Your experience might not be the truth or 167 00:11:49.300 --> 00:11:52.930 what's the truth for you. But there might be a better answer is what I'm 168 00:11:52.930 --> 00:11:53.550 trying to say. 169 00:11:54.940 --> 00:11:59.030 You could also challenge them to go farther. Sometimes somebody, you know 170 00:11:59.030 --> 00:12:03.170 less experience will post something that you're like, that's such a basic 171 00:12:03.170 --> 00:12:06.340 answer. You know, it's not quite the right answer and you know that, you 172 00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:09.650 know, but challenge them softly, be like, hey, if you go a little bit 173 00:12:09.650 --> 00:12:13.710 deeper, you might find this. I recommend checking out this article to 174 00:12:13.710 --> 00:12:18.600 learn a little bit more. Would be curious to hear your thoughts. So it's 175 00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:22.100 ok to challenge people. Just do it gently and softly challenge people in a 176 00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:25.500 way that lets them know that you really care about them. And the only reason 177 00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:29.690 why you're challenging it is in their best interest, never do it to flaunt 178 00:12:29.690 --> 00:12:31.460 your own knowledge. Right? 179 00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:37.150 And my last favorite way to add value to post is expand on what they've said. 180 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.060 If they've given a list of five things you can do. I'll add two more. If 181 00:12:42.060 --> 00:12:44.740 they've said here, here's a framework, I would be like, oh, and here's a 182 00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:48.560 nuance to the framework that I think would be helpful. I'm always trying to 183 00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:51.500 add more in advice. So that's a good way to do. It. Just expand on what 184 00:12:51.500 --> 00:12:54.550 they've said. Sometimes they've asked a good question. It's usually easy to 185 00:12:54.550 --> 00:12:58.050 engage with the question. So do that. But you can see by answering these 186 00:12:58.050 --> 00:13:02.100 questions and adding value. It's not that hard. It just takes a little bit 187 00:13:02.100 --> 00:13:05.770 of time and honestly it probably takes more time in the beginning to do each 188 00:13:05.770 --> 00:13:11.350 one. That's okay. It takes practice. In fact, I would recommend for like one 189 00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:15.060 week straight showing up for 30 minutes every day to do nothing but engage with 190 00:13:15.060 --> 00:13:19.440 other people's comments. So if there's anything you can get from this Episode, 191 00:13:19.450 --> 00:13:23.730 try this for one week, 30 minutes a day. Even if it's only a five day work week, 192 00:13:23.730 --> 00:13:28.860 30 minutes a day. Try to comment on every single post. So you're not 193 00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:32.910 allowed this girl past the post until you comment, force yourself to think 194 00:13:32.910 --> 00:13:36.550 about how to add value to this post. I don't do this anymore. But I have, I've 195 00:13:36.550 --> 00:13:40.540 done this challenge myself just to get better exercising it. So even posts 196 00:13:40.540 --> 00:13:43.380 that are hard to like comment on because it's like, they're self 197 00:13:43.380 --> 00:13:46.560 promotional or something. They're like, hey, come to my webinar, you're like, 198 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.590 well I'm not showing up, but the webinar looks great. Yeah, that's hard. 199 00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.200 That's the those are hard to comment on. Force yourself to comment on them and 200 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.470 you will get better at commenting. It's a muscle and just like working on a 201 00:13:57.470 --> 00:14:01.280 muscle. It takes time. It takes diligence to try and flex it over and 202 00:14:01.280 --> 00:14:04.050 over again and then pretty soon it's, it's pretty easy. I can scroll through 203 00:14:04.050 --> 00:14:07.700 and 10 minutes drop a number of really value driven comments. It just doesn't 204 00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:12.170 take long. I've also talked about this on linked in this idea of the 10,000 205 00:14:12.170 --> 00:14:16.350 comment rule and a lot of people ask me like, well, how many how many is enough? 206 00:14:17.140 --> 00:14:20.770 And I'm like, well, it's you can go as slow as fast as you want, but like 207 00:14:20.770 --> 00:14:25.080 generally like volume really does make a difference. So, but if you're looking 208 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.580 for like just a good benchmark, if you're that kind of person, just kind 209 00:14:28.580 --> 00:14:32.100 of want me to throw out a number 10 today is pretty good. It'll take three 210 00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:35.050 years to get to the 10,000 our role. But 10 a day is pretty good. 211 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:41.310 Again. I would do 90 or 100 if you could, if you really want to be like, 212 00:14:41.310 --> 00:14:46.450 hey, I want to get to 10,000 followers in six months or a year or something. 213 00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:52.830 Be prepared to do 70 to 100 comments a day. Yes it seems like a lot, just do 214 00:14:52.830 --> 00:14:56.420 it. It's a lot. It's gonna take a lot of time, but all good things take a lot 215 00:14:56.420 --> 00:15:01.420 of time. So how else were you going to spend that time? Netflix Disney plus I 216 00:15:01.420 --> 00:15:04.920 don't know, where else are you spending time spend it doing this and you only 217 00:15:04.920 --> 00:15:09.330 have to do it for a season in order to see that massive growth from it and 218 00:15:09.330 --> 00:15:12.850 then you can back off some season, go hard for six months and then you know, 219 00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:19.950 take a break. I do. So hopefully this episode is encouraging, but also 220 00:15:20.640 --> 00:15:21.860 weighty in a way 221 00:15:22.940 --> 00:15:28.980 because I want to kind of showcase and illustrate the cost to really doing 222 00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:33.300 well on organic social. Of course there's other ways to win, don't get me 223 00:15:33.300 --> 00:15:37.360 wrong, there's many ways to win. So don't come to me and like, like at me 224 00:15:37.370 --> 00:15:41.320 about like, oh well I had a friend who did it this way and a friend. Yes, yes, 225 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.250 there's many ways to win. This is probably the easiest in the most 226 00:15:45.250 --> 00:15:48.160 effective and just straight forward. If you just show up and do the work, 227 00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:54.160 you'll probably grow. That's on top of posting interesting content every day. 228 00:15:54.170 --> 00:15:57.850 Doing a lot of other things I mentioned in a series, I did a three part video 229 00:15:57.850 --> 00:16:02.090 series on how to grow on linkedin where I cover other elements of Lincoln 230 00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:06.160 growth.
