You are always selling yourself short in your career because you think self promotion is negative?
Every week I read at least 20 blogs that have the word “Shameless Self Promotion” in them when the writers mention themselves or products.It is really strange to see how many people out there use those words. I get blog posts daily related to self promotion and the majority of them are start with the words “a bit of Shameless Self Promotion”.
Would you like to be a master of Self Promotion?
You might think that the title “Shameless Self Promotion” appears once in a while here and there on a blog or a website. The majority of blogs or internet posts use the word “Shameless”, WOW.When I saw this I decided to write a blog, then articles and finally a self help book.
Are you afraid of promoting yourself?Do you think people will recent you or block you in some mental or unconscious way? I don’t get it! What is happening? For starters, most of these internet entries come from people that have great content on their websites and blogs, so promote it, otherwise people will never find out and benefit from that content.
Here are some tips from the book “The Unselfish Guide to Self Promotion”
- Self promotion is not just for business. You need to promote yourself in family and friends, to help them and to be a good influence.
- Think of others first. When you help others and think of their needs you will get rewarded, even if you don’t want it.
- Dress the part. If you want to get a better job or a promotion dress like the position. I would dress like the CEO!
In this article I will give you a new perspective on selling yourself. You see, self promotion is an impulse that started with survival, with a primal instinct of self preservation. Soon after it turned into a social skill that also required helping others to survive and strive in society in order to have more people helping each other and, yes, helping you.Self preservation started it all and now we have self promotion.
Now, you also have to remember that if you have a good product or a good service and people will benefit from it there is no shame in promoting it.Always remember, your products, servicess, content, blog, is providing a solution.This is the most important point of this article. –If you provide value you need to promote it- This value can be with a product or service and it can also be form your advice, expertise, stories or blog posts.This new strategy or way of living is now part of a book “The Unselfish Guide to Self Promotion”.
Unselfish Self Promotion means that you provide value first. You provide value to family, friends, stranger and even customers or prospects.You give value in yourself and the way you interact with others.If you are unselfish and provide value you are using self promotion, or “unselfish self promotion”.
