SOCIAL MEDIA & THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
Energy flows where attention goes. So if your attention in the social media world is on building numbers, as so many people obsess over these days, that is what you are going to get.
The problem is, numbers are never going to show interest in you and what you do. People are. Shift your attention to building relationships in the social media world, and energy will naturally flow to your ideas and all their forms of manifestation, be it a blog, book, album, or any product or service.
Plus, it’s a lot more fun to invest energy in developing genuine connections with people who share common interests and goals than obsessing over the number of followers you have on Twitter, or the number of fans you have on Facebook, or the number of viewers you have on YouTube.
The bottom line is THIS when it comes to social media:
Every single person in the world could be reading and watching what you share, but your true intent cannot be masked in your posts or videos. If you’re just looking to sell products or services, people are going to see right through you. Yes, social media can help you build your business, but only as a side effect of genuine engagement.
As David Meerman Scott so bluntly states in The World Wide Rave: Creating Triggers That Get Millions of People to Spread Your Ideas and Share Your Stories, nobody cares about your products or services but you.
What people do care about is information that helps them improve their lives, or experiences that inspire them to think and act differently, laugh, even cry. These should be your goals with every post you make.
ATTRACTING ENERGY TO YOU & WHAT YOU DO
“All energy vibrates at a frequency,” writes The Secret author, Rhonda Byrne. “Being energy, you also vibrate a frequency, and what determines your frequency at any time is whatever you are thinking and feeling. All the things you want are made of energy, and they are vibrating too. Everything is energy.”
“Here is the ‘wow’ factor. When you think about what you want, and you emit that frequency, you cause the energy of what you want to vibrate at that frequency and you bring it to You…. The reason you are the most powerful transmission tower in the Universe is because you have been given the power to focus your energy through your thoughts and alter the vibrations of what you are focused on, which then magnetically draws it to you.”
That is the law of attraction, which governs everything in the universe, including social media:
1) State your intention to the universe in terms of what you want to accomplish with social media. Yes, you may want to build your business, but get to the heart of the matter. How do your products and services help people?
For instance, my intention with Fluttering Ivy Media is:
To inspire people to apply the law of attraction to their social media experience so that we can all manifest together an abundance of mutually beneficial:
- Connections
- Knowledge
- Community
- Opportunity
- Wealth
2) Focus the energy of your intention into every thought you share on social media websites. The frequency of the energy emitted by these permanent, documented thoughts will attract the like-minded people who are your ultimate target audience when it comes to selling your products or services.
3) Enjoy your social media experience. The key to attracting good things in the future is intentionally feeling good now. Again, that is the Law of Attraction in action.
Fortunately, social media success is dependent on you seeking out people who genuinely interest you, as your attraction to them is precisely what will attract them back to you. In other words, you should be enjoying yourself by default and, if you’re not, go back and review your stated intention with social media because chances are you’ve veered off track.
HOW SOCIAL MEDIA CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
I have been studying the law of attraction on and off for several years now. I’m a writer as well as an internet marketer who started out specializing in search engine optimization. In the past year or so, though, I’ve found myself wildly attracted to social media, not only incorporating it into my professional endeavors but personally too and it has been a real revelation. Facebook, for instance, has changed my life, reconnecting me with old friends and even some extended family who I probably never would have seen or spoken to again.
I truly see social media as a gift from the universe …
… a tool for unprecedented communication that our collective thoughts have manifested to connect us to ideas that have the power to change our lives for the better.
… a channel for expressing our intentional thoughts into permanent written and visual form, which only serves to increase the energy behind these thoughts that have the power to manifest anything we want.
… a doorway for welcoming into our lives friends old and new whose thoughts and goals are mutually beneficial to us all.
I hope you will join me on this journey of social media discovery through the lens of the Law of Attraction that can show you how to make all your dreams come true!
