Introducing: Relationship Marketing

Relationship Marketing: The best way to grow your subscriber base, increase your authority, and sell more products while connecting with people you love and having more fun blogging than you ever have.

The power of your blog is not in the words you write, the products you sell, or even the number of fans you have.

The true power of your blog is in the relationship you have with your readers, your customers, and your partners.

If you’re a reader of The Skool of life or a listener of BlogcastFM you probably know by know that everything that I’ve done is a byproduct of the right relationships:

• It’s a relationship that got me a free place to live in Costa Rica
• It’s a relationship that got Dino Dogan to buy me a BRAND NEW suit for Blogworld. (this one still blows my mind – I didn’t even ask for it)
• It’s a relationship with Mark Schaefer that caused him to invite me to be a contributor at his blog (a Top 50 AdAge Blog)
• It’s a series of relationships with bloggers that allowed me to build an amazing writing team for a corporate blog that I could trust to do the work without my supervision.

In fact, the story of BlogcastFM comes down to a single email, and a single relationship with Sid Savara that resulted in the formation of BlogcastFM which led to…

• Selling products, consulting services and acquiring a sponsor for the “work” I love to do anyway
• Going from being absolutely nobody to being a Blogworld Media Partner
• Multiple speaking engagements (including my most recent at Blogworld New York)

Relationships are so powerful, that they will overcome just about any other shortcoming you may have.

(Sid’s note: those shortcomings include Srini’s poor spelling, atrocious grammar, complete inability to stay on a single topic for more than 5 seconds, and abandoning work when the surf is good.)

“Relationships are to blogging, what gas is to a car. It’s the relationships that allow bloggers to gain the traction needed to accomplish whatever blogging goals one may have.

Content is the engine, but even the biggest and best engine, without gas, won’t budge. Hence, this ebook is essential to any blogger looking to expand their footprint and create opportunities.

Based on real experience and layered with life-impacting examples, “Relationship Marketing” is sure to keep you entertained while serving its purpose of getting you educated.

Srinivas, considered a social media expert, doesn’t hold back on sharing his unique tricks-of-the-trade in teaching how to build a tribe, establish authority, become a powerful networker…and much more. ”
- Jk Allen of HustlersNotebook.com

But you already know this.

It’s echoed throughout the blogosphere as a mantra that relationships are everything in the online world today.

So you do everything in your power to connect with people and get their attention:

• You comment on the biggest blogs you can find
• You tweet the most interesting posts you can find.
• You work as hard as you can to build a network.
• You read up on every strategy you can for growing your blog.

But when it’s all said and done you still feel like all you hear is the sounds of crickets chirping on your own blog.

You even consider giving up and thinking that it’s just not worth your time and effort to have a blog.

After all nobody is reading it, so who cares?

I care – and I want you to get the attention you deserve.

“I used to log into Twitter or I view my RSS subscriptions and or read the blogs of those I admired and be overwhelmed. There is just so much going on and I wanted to be part of it all!

Srini’s Relationship Marketing really helped me to see where and how to form the connections to truly become the blogger I wanted to be and to discover where I fit in with my own community and tribe.

What I loved most about Relationship Marketing were Srini’s Action Tips at the end of each chapter and charts to help me track my progress.

I can read a lot of eBooks, but the ones that challenge me, give me the resources, show me how to reach a goal step by step… those are the ones that really make a difference.”
- Lauren Rains, The Mad To Live

Introducing Relationship Marketing:
Where Networking Meets Marketing

The truth is, as fundamental as relationships are to growing your blog, very few people really understand how to do it right.

It’s taken me close to 2 years to figure out exactly how to build win-win relationships with a network that has truly changed my life.

I figured it was time to put this together in a format that anybody can use to build a powerful network and grow their personal brand into one that has a loyal tribe of fans and followers.

That’s what this product is all about: actionable ideas to build your brand by building relationships.

“When I started my blog, there was so much I needed to learn about twitter, and relationships online – all the while not knowing that all of these things are intertwined in how to be successful.

I knew that I wanted people to see what I was doing, but felt like I was looking into a black hole when I thought about how to get there. I had no idea how I was going to get others to even look at my blog, let alone read it and respond.

I read Relationship Marketing, took notes and did all of the activity sheets. I went from simply writing a post hoping for comments, to making connections online with people, responding to the comments of strangers (who soon became my friends) and building friendships through twitter.

Since then, I have over 40 comments from people I have never met in person, been invited to be a part of a tribe and to write 2 guest posts – all within 4 weeks. If you follow what is written in this book, there is no way you can’t be successful with your blog. ”
- Julia Tarquinio, JuliaTarquinio.com

In a world filled with change, relationships are the one constant that will keep you in business.

• Your blog may not be around forever.
• Social media is in a constant state of evolution.
• A network is something that will extend beyond the life of your blog because it’s made of the most important thing:  people.

“Whenever I am reading and come upon something exceptional that I want to remember for later, I put a “WOW” in the sidebar of the text.

In Srinivas Rao’s Relationship Marketing ebook I had 12 “WOW’s” in the first 20 pages.

This thing is packed full of practical action items that you can sit down and use to build your online network.

Blogging is about creating a powerful community – Srini delivers the goods on how to get that done.

Relationship Marketing at it’s best!”

- Frank Dickinson, Huckleberry Media Connection

The Education You’ll Receive

After going through the content and exercises presented throughout the e-book you’ll have an incredibly powerful not work at your disposal that does more than just grow the traffic on your blog.

One thing I’ve found fascinating is for all the talk of social networking and connecting online, only a small percentage of people ever form real, lasting connections.

I can’t spell, I have horrible ADD, and I would rather go surf than try to figure out conversion rates or SEO (fortunately, Sid handles all that).  But if there is one thing I know how to do, it’s connect with people. Consider:

• I’ve interviewed over 150 of the world’s most successful bloggers on BlogcastFM, I’ve developed an in-depth knowledge of Blogging by picking the brains of people at every level from rising stars to best selling authors because I believe everybody could teach me something.
• I’ve grown the The Skool of Life to a readership of almost 2000 readers in less than 2 years, and have a vibrant community that connects with me, spreads my message: and even joins together with me for business ventures.
• I grew the Flightster Blog to over 20,000 Page Views in it’s first 2 months using the ideas in this e-book – almost all of it through plain, old fashioned word of mouth.

What You’ll get from It

• Quality Traffic that Actually Sticks
• Referrals for Freelance/Contract Work
• Relationships that Extend Beyond Your Business/Blog
• Access to People With a Wide Variety of Skills

So, What’s In the E-Book?

• The Tremendous Importance of Your First Reader
• How to Build Your Tribe
• The Key Elements to Spreading Your Influence
• The Blog Comment Goldmine
• Collaborating with Other bloggers to Play a Bigger Game
• Turning 150 Followers into a Personal Network Powerhouse
• Building A Blogger Entourage
• Action Worksheets in every Chapter to Leave You With a Full Blown Relationship Marketing Plan

“Just when I thought I knew everything about blogging and connecting, I read Relationship Marketing and learned some new, very key elements.

Now I understand how the top bloggers got to where they are;  Srini’s ebook lays it all out for you.  Every blogger, aspiring or experienced, will learn from this.”
- Maria Brophy
