Well, at least that’s what it feels like.

Frustration…is a very tame way of describing what I felt when my Facebook account was shut down! I carefully worked on it for months. I put in so much time and effort every single day and I was just waiting for the right moment to convert all those leads into paying customers.

For the last couple of months I’ve been meeting new people, building relationships, joining related groups, creating interest in my businesses, and basically spending all my time creating my presence to the world of Facebook. And for what?

All my hard work gone, just like that, in a second.

But, here’s the amazing part…

The very next day, I received an email from my friend, Mike Dillard (from Magnetic Sponsoring), and he addresses what I’ve totally overlooked from my Facebook efforts. In his email, Mike answers a frustrated question from one of his Magnetic Sponsoring clients, “I’ve Spent $6,000 On Leads… Now What!?”

In his answers he talks about 2 things: focus on ONE single method of advertising until mastery and convert leads ALREADY produced into paying customers because TIME is VALUABLE too.
Well, as you now know, I was on my path of mastery in social media…BUT, converting leads that I already produced? That one struck a chord!

Perfect timing, wouldn’t you say?

I knew my time was valuable, but didn’t know how valuable it was until my account was shut down so fast and I thought I had to start all over from scratch…waiting for another perfect moment to convert leads I HAVE ALREADY PRODUCED into paying customers.

To my luck, my account wasn’t shut down permanently and they reinstated it a couple of days later. It was definitely an eye-opener and I’ve learned my lesson. I will never again waste so much time for the perfect moment to monetize my efforts. The perfect moment is NOW!

I’ll end with some wise words from my friend Mike Dillard,

“You could spend the next six months producing thousands of leads for free using Twitter, but if you don’t know how to convert them into distributors or customers, then you’ve wasted six months of your time.”

Pretty much sums it up.
