In light of Halloween I thought I’d put together a fun little post on what we can learn from zombies.  But first let’s look at what zombies are and when they can do.
 
Zombies are dead people that have come back to life that have an appetite for the human brain.  Zombies are determined.  They’re not fast, but they’re determined!  They will do anything to sink their teeth into the human brain.  In the movies you will see zombies with cut off limbs making their way to the living to eat their brains.  You will even see zombies with no legs doing a military like crawl to their next meal.  And if you notice once a zombie eats a brain their hunger for brains is still there.  Zombies never lose their hunger!
 
You will also notice that zombies travel in packs.  If you run into one zombie, sure enough, you will run into more.  If they corner you then you’re pretty much done.
 
So how does this transfer into building Tribes?  Well, let’s again understand the meaning of a Tribe.   A Tribe is a group of people that have a shared interest and a way to communicate.  In Social Media there is never just you!  There is usually you and several other people…YOUR TRIBE.  In our Social Media Tribes we travel around in packs to Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, social bookmarking sites, etc. helping each other promote our content.
 
Like zombies we are not usually fast at it, but we’re thorough.  We chip away little by little to get to our goal.  A common trait for us Social Media Tribe members is that we’re determined and we’re going to reach our goal no matter what.  Nothing is going to stop us and we will never lose our hunger!
 
Let’s talk about eating brains for a minute.  Just like zombies we love to eat brains, but we’re just not as messy as zombies!  When we go to other Social Media Marketer’s blogs and read what they are doing and gaining insight, knowledge, and strategies to better our marketing skills we are in a sense eating brains.  We’re taking knowledge (what’s inside another person’s brain) “eating it (learning from it),” and digesting that knowledge so we can grow strong from it.
 
Then there are the mentally deranged humans that feed zombies.  That would be people like me, Kary Rogney, and Ken Pickard.  We’re feeding you zombies fresh brains for your enjoyment!  Say what??  Let me explain…
 
On Facebook Kary, Ken, and I have put together business pages that promote other people’s content.  If you have a blog then you are pretty much on the ball and have a good idea as to what you’re doing.  So this means you probably have good content.  You want that content out there, and you want that exposure.  So all you have to do is go onto our Facebook business pages and post your link there and bam, you have instant exposure.
 
So getting back to our zombie analogy Kary, Ken, and I are feeding your brains to zombies so they can go on our business pages, click the link to your blog post, read your knowledge (eat your brain), and digest it so they can grow strong and make it to their goal.
 
If you want your brain eaten (if you want to post your link to your blog post on our business pages) just click the following links)…
