Do You Want to Create a Tribe? The Answer Lies in Biblical History

You want to create a following? You want to develop that long tail list that gives you sustainable and long-term growth, but you are not sure how to do it. Ok, you know that a good way to start is by setting up your SEO WordPress blog, followed by a Facebook Fan page, Twitter, YouTube & Linked-In, etc.

Are you feeling overwhelmed yet? Well, let’s step back a bit to get a better perspective. The development of your blog and social media sites are all technical problems with fairly simple solutions. They are tools that help you along the way, but they do not provide the pathway to a long tail list of followers…your tribe.

I see this scenario in so many “newbie” bloggers. I made the same mistake. I got passionate and ramped up my blogging when I was first introduced to online marketing. One of my original mentors told me to just “start producing good content” and I would pick up the concept as I went along. Well that was only half of the solution. The other half…the most important part is to understand philosophically how to create a tribe…how to create that long tail list.

As I progressed and learned more, one day I started to read one of my favorite books…the Bible. I went back and read the “Four Gospels” (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and then the “Acts of the Apostles”. As I reflected on the lives of Jesus and the Twelve Apostles, I began to fully understand the concepts of tribal development. Here was a man, 2000 years ago who went and “called” twelve men to follow him. What followed quite literally turned the then-known world upside down. It was an unstoppable movement of empowered men following their tribal leader, Jesus, the Son of God. Do you think you could find a better mentor?

Earlier today, I was meeting with one of my mastermind colleagues and friends…a brilliant lady by the name of VaNessa Duplessie. We were discussing different strategies to developing more income streams. We both agreed that incorporating Christianity into the online world has been long overdue. Later in a Facebook Group called the Empowered Tribe, another online genius and friend, Ken Pickard made the comment that Jesus was the original network marketer. The difference is that his comp plan is the best ever and it is FREE. He asks and you accept…it is that simple. Now this is empowering! This is truly living unstoppably…

Yours In Success…

About Martin Casper

Being an entrepreneur has given me a deep appreciation for individuals who are success oriented and never give up. The drive to always “push through” is a trait of successful people. I have been fortunate to associate myself with many successful individuals over my life. It began with my father who instilled in me the ability to step outside of the box…to create something out of nothing. He taught me the importance of integrity in business...traits that I have incorporated into the various business models I employ. I spent the first ten years of my career in the medical field. I worked side by side with amazing individuals who put their own self-interests aside in order to nurture others back to good health. Many times I witnessed life and death situations. It was always humbling to experience the team-work that evolved around trying to save a lives. As my career path evolved into the business world, not only could I bring those experiences into my persona, I saw a need to spread information…real information for real situations. A close friend of mine began to mentor me in aspects of blogging. He has given me incredible insight into how a blog should be developed…how to focus my passion for helping mentor people to becoming successful entrepreneurs. This passion for mentoring others began when I was a young child and continues today. It is not about me, but rather those who have influenced my life. I am a work-out addict and a real “ski dog”. Sorry guys and gals…I do not “ride”. I live for deep powder and steep chutes. I love the feeling of looking over the edge of a steep run…feel my heart beat faster with that adrenaline rush and then “jump in”. I love golf…but I always wonder if I will ever break 100…lol! Most of all, I love my wonderful family…they are the best! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you feel empowered today.
